This is some amazing highlights from the fuller message: Called from Heaven To Pray. This is foundational for the victorious life in Christ. Enjoy! 1. The secret of the victorious life is prayer. 2. The secret of prayer is standing on the accomplished work of Jesus. 3. The accomplished work of Jesus is what He finished in His death, resurrection and ascension. 4. We forever have in His death the forgiveness and removal of sins (holiness) and in His resurrection: the same Spirit as Christ (the new life) and in His ascension: the authority to overcome and be victorious (for we are seated with Him far above all rule [Eph. 1:18-23, Eph. 2:6]). 5. The enemy is a liar. He will tell you that you are full of sin as if the precious blood has not completely satisfied God and is able to completely cleanse you and completely stop the accuser. The enemy is a liar. He will tell you that you are weak as if you do not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The enemy is a liar. He will tell you that your prayers are useless as if you do not have the ascended position of authority and victory in Christ. BUT THE TRUTH IS HIS DEATH HAS REMOVED ALL OUR SIN AND HIS RESURRECTION HAS GIVEN US ALL NEW LIFE AND HIS ASCENSION HAS GIVEN US ALL THE VICTORY OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY. 6. The enemy is always desperate to stop true prayer by any means possible because he knows it will defeat him every time. We must discern his strategies and know how to deal with them. We must be prepared to pray to be able to pray. We must be willing to fight to pray and keep it a priority. The most important work or ministry for the church is prayer. 7. The church must pray in the truth and then pray it out. Pray in to have faith and revelation. Pray out to have manifestation or external evidence. Pray out the blood till the presence manifests. Pray out the resurrection and the life till there is abundance of rain (the overflow of the Spirit or abundance of resurrection life). Pray out your authority far above all rule in Christ till all the enemies of the Church are under our Lord's feet (Eph. 1:18-23, Eph. 2:6). 8. Without a clear conscience, the new life is blocked and without the new life manifesting, we have no authority to overcome the enemy. 9. But with forgiveness for ourselves and others, the new life can rise and walk itself out on earth and exercise its superior position in heaven. 10. May we SIT to get familiar with all the accomplished work for there is nothing to achieve but much to receive (Eph. 2:6). May we WALK out the accomplishments or manifest them (Eph. 4:1). May we STAND against the enemy when he challenges us to vacate the ground of truth especially in regard to our holiness, resurrection and victory founded in Christ (Eph. 6:11). 11. All these accomplished facts are to be apprehended by faith and realized in experience. God said it, we believe it and He actualizes it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 Samuel 23:10-12 STANDING ON THE GROUND OF THE LORD'S ACCOMPLISHED WORK: HIS DEATH REMOVED ALL SIN AND HIS RESURRECTION GAVE US NEW LIFE AND HIS ASCENSION GAVE US AUTHORITY OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY. 10 [Eleazar] arose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary and clung to the sword. The Lord wrought a great deliverance and victory that day; the men returned after him only to take the spoil. 11 Next to [Eleazar] was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered at Lehi on a piece of ground full of lentils; and the [Israelites] fled from the Philistines. 12 But he stood in the midst of the ground and defended it and slew the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great victory. Nehemiah 6:7-11 MORE ON STANDING ON THE ACCOMPLISHED WORK OF JESUS. RETURN THE ATTACK OF THE ENEMY TO THE SENDER. 7 Also you have set up prophets to announce concerning you in Jerusalem, There is a king in Judah. And now this will be reported to the [Persian] king. So, come now and let us take counsel together. 8 I replied to him, No such things as you say have been done; you are inventing them out of your own heart and mind. 9 For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, Their hands will be so weak that the work will not be done. But now strengthen my hands! 10 I went into the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up. He said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you—at night they are coming to kill you. 11 But I said, Should such a man as I flee? And what man such as I could go into the temple [where only the priests are allowed to go] and yet live? I will not go in.
