PRAYER
“YHWH’s Word - The Foundation of Successful Praying”

KEY THOUGHT:  Pray without results is ritual.

KEY SCRIPTURE:  1 Yochanan (1 John) 5:14,15

  1. A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE INTEGRITY OF YHWH’S WORD PRODUCES PRAYER FAILURE

  1. The Word is YHWH-Indwelt

  1. The Word off the written page, in the heart of a person, spoken out of the mouth produces results.

  2. A man gave this testimony concerning the Word:  “Never compare this Book with other books.  Comparisons are dangerous.  Never think or never say that this Book contains the Word of YHWH.  It is the Word of YHWH.  It is superspiritual in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in value, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality.  Read it through.  Write it down.   Pray it in. Work it out.  And then pass it on.”

  1. The Integrity of YHWH’s Word is Our Basis for Faith

  1. B’midbar (Numbers) 23:19

  2. Sh’mu’el Alef (1 Samuel) 15:29

  3. Mattityahu (Matthew) 24:35

  1. Where there is no Word, there is no faith.  Where there is no faith, there is no answered prayer.  The Word is the foundation for faith, and faith gives substance to prayer causing it to become a living reality.
  1. YHWH’S WORD IS HIS PART OF YOUR PRAYER LIFE (*Everything from this point is on the basis of this statement.)

  1. YHWH and His Word are ONE (Yochanan (John) 1:1)

  2. Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 55:8-11 -- (When YHWH wanted man to know His thoughts, ways and the understanding of Himself, He sent His Word

  3. To Know YHWH’s Will is to Have a Firm Foundation for Prayer.

  1. YHWH’S WORD IS HIS BOND

  1. Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 1:12 (Amp)

  2. 1 Yochanan (1 John) 5:14,15 (20th Century New Testament)  “And this is the confidence with which we approach Him, that whenever we ask anything in accordance with His will, He listens to us, And if we realize that He listens to us - whatever we ask - we realize that we have what we have asked from Him.”

  1. PRAYER THAT BRINGS RESULTS IS BASED ON YHWH’S WORD

  1. 2 Kefa (II Peter) 1:3,4 (YHWH’s Word is the unveiling of redemption’s provision)

  2. Yochanan (John) 15:7 (Wuest) “If you maintain a living communion with Me, and My words are at home in you, I command you to ask at once, something for yourself, whatever your heart desires, and it will become yours.”

  1. FOUNDING YOUR PRAYER ON YHWH’S WORD IS BASING IT ON LEGAL GROUNDS

  1. Satan, the Accuser of the brethren, is a Legalist new age thinker

  1. Ephesians 4:27 (different translations)

  1. (KJV) “Neither give place to the devil.”

  2. (20th Century) “And give no opportunity to the devil.”

  3. (Goodspeed) “You must not give the devil a chance.”

  4. (Philips) “Don’t give the devil that sort of foot hold.”

  5. (New English Bible)  “Leave no loophole for the devil.”

  1. The Word of YHWH is a Legal Document.

  1. It is the Last Will and Testament of Yeshua HaMashiach.

  1. Hebrews 9:11-17 (Amp) “In keeping with [the oath’s greater strength and force], Yeshua  has become the Guarantee of a better (stronger) agreement -- a more excellent and more advantageous covenant.”

  1. We have backing this Word in prayer:

  1. The Father-YHWH (Hebrews 6:13)

  2. Yeshua  (Hebrews 7:22)

  3. Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit - the Instructor (Yochanan (John) 14:26)

  4. The Angels of YHWH (Hebrews 1:14; Tehillim (Psalm) 103:20)
