PROPHETIC PRAYER ~ PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions" (JOEL 2:28)

When you worship God, His Word begins to come forth from you with power and authority to bring on a change in your situation. This kind of prayer is what I call Prophetic Prayer. A classic example of prophetic prayer is Jonah's prayer to God when he was in the belly of the fish:

"Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple" (Jonah 2:1-4).

In his hour of desperation in the fish's belly, Jonah still wanted to see the glory of God. He wanted to see Jerusalem, the city of the great King, where God's temple was. This is 'Prophetic Prayer' and it's important for the believer to pray this way. In prophetic prayer, you declare what will be; you declare what's going to happen, because the power is in your mouth. In prophetic prayer, you speak the will of God into being by the supernatural inspiration of the Holy Ghost.

Romans 4:17 tells us God calls those things that be not as though they were. You are yet to see tomorrow, but God knows tomorrow. He has already seen your tomorrow; to Him, it's already in the past. He's not planning on your tomorrow; He's not going to do something about your tomorrow. He's already done all that needs to be done about it. How comforting it is to know I serve the living God who knows everything about my tomorrow.

Don't be moved by your present circumstances; they're lying vanities. Jonah considered everything around him and called them lying vanities. Those adverse circumstances are a lie, so don't observe them. Just as Jonah did, begin to worship God and declare your victory even in the midst of that seemingly hopeless situation.

Thank Him for delivering you from it already, and you will come out, not in the midst of the murky waters where evil lurks, ready to swallow you up again, but upon dry ground, where God's purpose in your life will be fulfilled, Hallelujah! That's the power of Prophetic Prayer!

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
