SECRET CONSCIOUSNESS THAT MAKES PRAYERS EFFECTIVE
SECRET CONSCIOUSNESS THAT MAKES PRAYERS EFFECTIVE
Introduction:
Prayer is the lifeblood of a believer's relationship with God. It is a vital conduit to supernatural possibilities, and Jesus emphasized its importance when He said, "These cannot happen but by fasting and prayer" (Mark 9:29). Despite its significance, many believers remain unaware of the true nature and power of prayer. In this post, we'll explore the consciousness that makes prayers effective.
Consciousness #1: Prayer is a Conversation with God
When you pray, you’re not just speaking into the air—you’re having a real conversation with God. This understanding transforms prayer into a transcendent interaction. The realization that you have the capacity to speak with the Creator of the universe instills awe and reverence in us. This consciousness acknowledges that prayer is a two-way communication with the Almighty.
“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their prayer...” (1 Peter 3:12)
Consciousness #2: Prayer is Intimacy with God
Prayer is more than asking for things; it is a way to cultivate intimacy with God. True intimacy means depth. You cannot be truly deep in prayer without becoming deeper in your relationship with God. His voice draws us into closer communion with Him. This consciousness recognizes prayer as a tool for deepening your relationship with the Father.
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you...” (James 4:8)
Consciousness #3: Prayer Can Bring Things into Existence
Prayer is a creative force that can bring things into existence. There are realities that are not yet tangible but can come to life through prayer. Prayer allows the impossible to manifest. As Isaiah 66:8 (KJV) states, “Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.”
When you pray, embrace the mindset that your prayers can birth new realities—manifestations beyond the natural. This consciousness acknowledges that prayer can create new possibilities in your life.
Consciousness #4: Prayer Can Change the Verdict on Your Life
Prayer has the power to alter the verdict upon your life. James 5:16 tells us that “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Hezekiah’s life is a powerful example. When God declared he would die, Hezekiah prayed, and God changed the verdict (2 Kings 20:1-5). Prayer can overturn judgments and laws that have been passed against you. By understanding this, you realize you have the authority to legislate change in the spirit, which will manifest in the physical realm. This consciousness recognizes that prayer can change the course of your life.
Consciousness #5: Prayer is More Powerful Than Connections
Prayer is more potent than any human connection or network. While connections are important, it is divine access that truly empowers. Psalm 146:3 KJV says, “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” And in Psalm 20:7, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” This consciousness recognizes that prayer is a far greater force than any human connection.
Consciousness #6: Prayer is Based on Your Relationship with the Father
The effectiveness of prayer is rooted in your relationship with God. “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (1 John 5:14). This consciousness reminds us that the quality of our prayers depends on the strength of our relationship with God.
Consciousness #7: Effective Prayer is a Game-Changer
When you understand how to pray effectively, you hold the key to transformation. “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16). Effective prayer can be a game-changer, unlocking new dimensions in your spiritual and earthly life. This consciousness recognizes that knowing how to pray effectively can radically change your circumstances.
Consciousness #8: Prayer Moves Things!
Prayer has the power to move things! “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7-8). I once met a man who had been paralyzed by fear for 15 years, ever since he witnessed his father's death and an accident that followed. For years, he only interacted with his mother and brother. But after praying for him from a distance, something miraculous happened—he walked toward us and embraced me, shedding the chains of fear. The power of prayer moved him.
Countless times, I have witnessed how prayer shifts circumstances and brings about real change. This consciousness acknowledges that prayer has the power to make things move and shift in your life.
Conclusion:
Prayer is a transformative force that can change the course of your life. By adopting these consciousnesses, you unlock the full potential of prayer and experience the supernatural possibilities that God has prepared for you.
