Many of you may have had times in your life when you can look back on and know that God has brought you through tough situations. I’m sure that when you were in the middle of them, you thought there was no way out. You may be in a situation currently and see zero open doors to go through and only see paths of destruction ahead of you. This is an absolute lie of the enemy! I want to encourage you that even in my current situation as I’m writing this, I’ve also been lied to and told that there was no way out. I want to encourage you to grab hold of the absolute power of prayer! Unfortunately, even though I’ve grown up in the church, I’d never unlocked the fullness of how God intended us to pray until recently. I’m telling you, and I promise you, that I’m a different man because of what I’ve been practicing in my own prayer life. I have a new power that is a heavenly power that all believers can have and have been promised by God Himself (see Matthew 28:18–20). I know that some may read scripture references regarding the enemy is here to steal, kill, and destroy. You may say that you are not afraid of the devil, but the way you live your life says otherwise. I’m telling you the enemy is not on our level! He is beneath us! He cannot touch us if we are truly living in communion/prayer with God throughout every day. Yes, you can be in constant interaction with our living God and gain understanding of Who God Ismore and more, each and every day(see Mark 16:15–18).
My questions to you are these: How do we approach God when we pray? Do we just pray a list of requests we need for Him to fix or heal? Do we really press in to God out of desperation for a move of His mighty hand? I’m pleading with you to pray differently! Pray with expectancy! Pray with expectation! Pray with anticipation! God has already said that He has healed you. God has already taken care of your fear. God has already taking care of the enemy! He has the victory! All you must do is ask, and it will be given to you! Push yourself in to God, and watch Him radically push you to move mountains in your life. Yes, move mountains! You can move mountains out of your way! God has given you the authority to take down your mountains! I haven’t seen every mountain move yet in my life, but I have a new understanding and a new peace that come only from God Himself. I know without a doubt that my mountains are trembling and will fall! More than ever, we need the heavenly, life-shifting power of Who God Is. You can and will take down strongholds in your life!
Within the pages to follow is a twelve-minute prayer—a prayer that is not focused on you but is focused on Who God Is. Take this book along with you wherever you go. I passionately believe this is a life-shifting prayer that needs to stay by your side and be your weapon against the attacks of the enemy. I know it seems like a lot of pages to read in one sitting, but it should only take about twelve minutes to read. I encourage you to buy at least two prayer guides so that you can keep one for yourself and have a copy to send other people who may be hurting and need confidence that is found only in God Himself.
Here is how I use the following 15-Minute Life-Shifting Prayer. I know I just mentioned earlier that it’s a twelve-minute prayer and it seemed to be a typo. This was on purpose. This prayer of Who God Is will only take you about twelve minutes, but then you have the remaining three minutes to go before God about your own needs. Read this prayer out loud if you can, with passion, enthusiasm, emotion, and excitement! After all, these are all facts as to Who God Is! The Bible backs everything up as steadfast truths! I pray this prayer every day because I need His strength. I challenge you to do the same. My challenge to you is to pray this prayer for seven consecutive days at first. Allow the presence of God to show you how real and powerful He is. As you read this day-to-day, you will find yourself trusting and believing in what you are reading. Your words, your heart, and your spirit will begin to line up with what you are reading. Again, after you are finished reading and claiming these truths, then go into your own time of prayer. Do not just ask God for your needs to be met; tell your list of needs how to proceed! Tell your hurts and pains to leave! Command your body to be healed! Let your finances know that God has already provided for your needs and more! God has given you this power to overcome anything you may be going through!
Let this be a faith builder for your personal walk with the Lord. And as you build on your faith, I guarantee you that you will see a mighty move of God in your life. Now lift your voice to the Lord, start building on your faith, and enjoy the goodness of our God as you pray this powerful prayer of Who God Is.
