PRAYER WORRIERS


No I didn’t miss my spelling. The title is correct. I’m not writing about prayer warriors but prayer worriers.  Those that all their prayer focus is to ventilate their worries.
Those who cast their cares upon the lord and carry it back.

It’s a hard statement to make but it’s true. Whatever you attack with all your might in the spirit realm attaches itself to you. Whatever your focus is, controls and directs you. If poverty is all your prayer focus is, guess what? That’s what will become your reality. Remember Moses and the Israelites? Don’t focus on the snake bite instead look at the bronze serpent.

You should have noticed. The more you pray against sin, the more entangled you become.
Don’t focus on the problem, focus on the answer.

Much of the modern day spiritual warfare teaching is in this category. If Satan and his demons become the central theme of our prayer life then there’s a big problem. A doctor friend of mine complained to me that that most of the psychiatric patients in his hospital are born-again Christians. Majority of them are from a particular denomination that emphasizes the works of demons and enemies in every facet of life. How can the church be more bound than the world? Nonsense. Keep your religion.

Prayer is to centre on the Father.
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Mark 11:24.

Don’t pray the problem, pray your desires.  You only have what you believe you receive. If you can’t hold it in your heart you won’t hold it in your hand. Your life many times falls to the level of your heart.
Let Go and let God. You’ve given it to God, let Him have it. Let go of it. Wipe your tears, believe in His love.

Don’t be a prayer worrier.
