The Power Of Prayer

Do you regularly pray?

What do you pray for?

Friends, I believe prayer is a way for us to personally communicate to the Lord our God. It's like our own personal hotline that will connect us to God so we can talk to him in private about anything at all.

I use prayer as a way to personally communicate with God. I talk to Him about my dreams, problems, worries, goals, etc. I also ask for forgiveness from my sins, shortcomings, etc. I also ask Him for guidance and blessing, especially if I'm about to start an important journey, or project.

But what else can prayer do?

Well according to Bro. Bo, in one of his old newsletters that is accessible to Truly Rich Club members, prayer is his magic sauce to becoming truly rich. Prayer has been an important and powerful ingredient in his journey to wealth. He shared 4 steps to praying for prosperity.

Desire in Faith - is praying to God what you want. As is stated in Matthew 7:7 "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you." So we pray to God for whatever it is that we want. Even if you feel He doesn't hear you, just continue praying to Him what you want. This prayer is for us, because as we pray repeatedly what we want, we become more open to God's blessing and direction. It makes us more focused.

Feel in Faith - is imagining that what you asked for is already given to you. As stated in Mark 11:23 "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him." Don't doubt that what you asked will be given to you. Believe that God will provide for you and guide you to achieve what you want and just continue working.

Thank in Faith - is praying to God to thank Him for giving you what you want. Thank God for giving you what you want, even if it isn't with you yet. Believe that He will give it to you and thank Him. Be thankful for all the abundance that He will bestow on you.

Act in Faith - is acting as if what you asked for is already given to you. If you asked for an increase in your salary, then give 10% of the amount that you asked for as tithe to God (more on this in the next post). Giving is a way of declaring that abundance and prosperity will be coming your way.
