Praying such prayers should cause faith to arise, knowing and believing that God is able to do far more for us than we ofgten give Him credit for. The level of our faith can affect results. Positive thinking and quoting the scriptures until they become revelation and faith rises.

To be filled with the fullness of God is to know Him intimately. It is to be filled with all that God is and has for us. Let's go past being a nominal Christian and be filled with the glory of God that Jesus will shine through us . It is then when we stand before Him He will see that glorious shining bride washed clean through the blood of Jesus.

There is no end to Christ's love for anyone. Knowing Christ's love for ourself brings a peace, a satisfaction, a joy unspeakable that fills our inner man.

When the inner man is strengthened it helps us to stand firm against the onslaughts of the enemy. Today, we would pray for wisdom and revelation to keep our feet firmly on the Rock Christ Jesus. Christ comes into our hearts at salvation and we need to get grounded in the Word so that the enemy does not destroy one's faith.

Without faith it is impossible to please God. We need to understand that we have been endued with power from on high by the Holy Spirit who lives in us. He directs us, counsels us, encourages us and is with us all the time.

The bible says to ask in faith, believing, so if their attitude is that God is poor, they will not receive the abundance God has for them. This is why revelation of the word is so important because without it people flounder and become nominal christians. We need to pray for Christ to be formed within them and for the Holy Spirit to bring revelation to them.

It is the hope or looking forward to reaching the prize for our high calling that enables me to press on. There is a goal to reach. Christians without hope or faith are going nowhere. I would pray for their eyes to be opened and their ears unstopped so that they can hear and see God in everything around them and so receive revelation.

To pray for one another continually to receive greater revelation and wisdom and to know kingdom purpose, power and authority. Yes, people would still accept salvation and God can still work in them, but there is power in prayer that strengthens us and helps us to know god better and protects us from advertsity.

No, this help is available to all of us if we surrender our life to God. Jesus was not treated any different to what is available to us. We do not only have angels but we also have the Holy Spirit.

Yes, I believe the Father was pleased. He had seen and heard Jesus crying out to release him from this terrible hour and yet he was able to say "not my will, but yours be done." When there is no passion or caring in our prayers we may as well speak to the brick wall. God looks on the heart and out of that knows if we mean what we say and responds accordingly. We need passion in our prayers; we need to feel the needs of others and be able to say "not my will, but yours be done."

Jesus was man here on earth like us and therefore identified how we in the natural would feel. Would we want to go through death like he faced? I don't think so. I do not believe he was resisting his Father's will, rather he was feeling the intensity of what he had to carry - the sins of the whole world and in his humanity he knew the pain he would have to endure.

Firstly, I think Jesus was wanting the support, strength and faith of their prayers to help him through this terrible hour he was facing. He also knew that they were going to be faced with being asked about Jesus and whether they would remain faithful to him. However, they did not pray diligently because they allowed their tiredness to overcome the need for prayer and slept. v.13 of the Lord's prayer states "lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil'. Jesus wanted to be alone because the disciples did not understand the kind of death he was facing. God has a timing to reveal everything.

Nehemiah could be banished from the king's presence for ever. He probably reminds God of his four months of intercession and preparation and asks Him to intervene now and let him find favour with God and the king.

Danel's faith in God was so great he was prepared to risk his life and went into the lion's den. There God got the glory and saved him. Esther risked her life for the Jews and her God, going in before the king without being called. She lived. We are a light in the darkness "let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven" Matthew 5:18 We need to honour God at all times no matter what the situation. I would call on the Name of Jesus and the Blood, ask the Holy Spirit to guide me and believe that the Lord will deliver me.

He asked God to remember the instruction He gave to Moses, that even if they had sinned, if they repented and obeyed His commands, He would gather them together from far and wide. He reminds God that His own Name is at stake. If the people are in disgrace if reflects on His Name. In intercession, we need to know the word of God, quote it and stand on it "it is written....." Also we need to feel the situation as it is and as it would be when God moved in. We need to find the favour of God.
