PRAYING BY THE POWER OF THE
SPIRIT!...!

WITH*«PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME*»
Then he answered and spake unto me,
saying, This is the word of the LORD
unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might,
nor by power, but by my spirit, saith
the LORD of hosts. {Zechariah 4:6}
Anyone can pray in the Name of Jesus,
and also say something that's covered
by the Word of God, but these alone
don't guarantee results. That's why
some pray, but nothing happens, while
some others say the same words and
miracles take place. The first set of
people spoke words that weren't
energized, communicated, inspired, and
anointed by the Holy Spirit. As a result,
they didn't get what they asked for;
their words were not powered by the
Spirit.
I‘ve taught you two principles on
prayer in our two previous lessons:
"Praying In The Authority Of His Name"
and "Praying By The Authority Of The
Word," yet, it's so important that you
make your requests by the power of
the Holy Spirit. These three elements
combine to make our prayer lives
effective. The power of the Holy Spirit
is the missing element in many
people's lives, and they wonder why
their prayers aren't as effective as they
should be. In Ephesians 5:18-19, the
Apostle Paul tells us, "And be not
drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking
to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making
melody in your heart to the Lord."
When you're filled with the Spirit,
you'll bring the supernatural power of
the Holy Spirit to bear on your words,
and they'll be impregnated with divine
power! The anointing has to be on your
words. That is what makes the
difference. At the Healing School, for
example, when we minister to the sick
in the Name of Jesus, and on the basis
of what the Word says, we do so by
the power of the Holy Spirit. No
wonder astounding healing miracles
take place at every healing session.
In the book of Acts, you'll observe
these three. The Apostles ministered
in the Name of Jesus, with the Word of
God, and by the power of the Holy
Spirit. That's why they had such
extraordinary results in their lives and
ministry.
PRAYER::::::}
Dear Father, I thank you for the
indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
As I speak in tongues today, He
energizes and anoints my words,
making them potent to effect the
changes that I desire, in my health,
family, finances, on my job, and in my
world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

heart to the Lord;

another with the words of psalms,

your hearts.

and making melody with all your heart
to the Lord,
