Personal prayer time 2nd 5 minutes





Today we are going back to personal prayer life most of what I share  is straight from Larry Lea’s book
“Could you Not Tarry One Hour?”
you can purchase it here
Today we are talking about the second ten minutes of our journey towards learning to pray an hour. I am sure you probably found it hard to keep your first 5 minutes to just 5 minutes.  The names of God are mind boggling. The name of God and who God is, is the very helmet of Salvation in the armor of God.  Blessed is the man whose mind is stayed on You. So today our 5 minutes are on the second line of the Lords prayer.
 no this is not a true picture of heaven just a picture

THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
We need to focus our day, our time and everything on the Kingdom of God. This is the most important message for anyone going into warfare.  It is the only purpose of Spiritual Warfare so here are the areas to pray God’s Kingdom come in.
(a)        YOURSELF  You most get your mind and life to a place where all that you do Glorifies God and it is all about the King and His Kingdom.  This week try researching a little about what God Kingdom is.  Here are a few scriptures.

Romans 12:1 KJV  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Rom. 14:17 - The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
- The Kingdom of God is His presence. As Jesus rules in your heart, the Kingdom of God is manifested. Pray, "Let your righteousness, Your peace, and Your joy be in me today."

1 Cor. 4:20 - For the kingdom of God does not consist in words, but in power.
- Pray over priorities God has set over your life. Pray for concerns of the day. Speak out priorities. Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you with abilities, efficiency, and might.

(b) YOUR FAMILY
- Pray over their needs. Pray that God's righteousness, peace, and joy will be in them. Pray for their salvation.
Neh. 4:14 - Do not be afraid of them [the enemy], remember the Lord who is great and awesome and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Rom 10:1 - Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.
(c) YOUR CHURCH

1. PASTOR
- Pray for God to anoint him, speak to him, and direct him. Pray that God gives him a shepherd's heart, will impart wisdom to him as he spends time in the Word and in prayer, and will make him a pure channel through which the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit can flow. Do not pray any prayer that Control or ask God’s control what you want your pastor be or do.  Never raise you tongue in attack against your Pastor that is God’s job.
2. LEADERS
- Call and list leaders' names in prayer (home fellowship group leaders, assistants, deacons, ect.) Pray for a specific need if the Holy Spirit shows you something for someone.
- Pray that the Lord will make the various groups and organizations healthy and productive.
3. FAITHFULNESS
- Pray people will be faithful to their family (members of household), to the vision God has given your church, to Jesus, with their tithes, and to serve Jesus as Lord.
4. HARVEST
- Pray the Holy Spirit, like a divine magnet, will repel those who are not to become a part of your church and attract those who are, and that the Holy Spirit will draw people out of the north, south, east, and west.
Is. 43:5-6 - Do not fear, for I [God] am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, And gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth.
Eph. 2:2 - You formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
Eph. 2:2 (LB)- You went along with the crowd and were just like all the others, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air, who is at work right now in the hearts of those who are against the Lord.
- Powers and Principalities hold the reigns over certain areas. Speak to an area as a person. "North, you have people God wills to become a part of this church. I command you in the name of Jesus to release every person who is supposed to be in this church."
- "South, the will of God be done in you. Do not hold them back! I command you to release every person the Holy Spirit is drawing to become a part of this body."
- God has ordained people in these areas to be saved, planted, established, strengthened, and settled in your church.
- Pray in Jesus' name that God will dispatch angels to minister to the heirs of salvation, and that the Holy Spirit, the Lord of the harvest, will draw the people and plant them in the church.
Heb. 1:14 - Are they [angels] not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation. Heb. 1:14 (LB) - The angels are only spirit-messengers sent out to help and care for those who are to receive his salvation.
Matt. 9:37-38 - Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
38 Therefore beseech [ask] the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.
(d) NATION
- Pray leaders to have wisdom of God. Check out my post from______________

Prov. 8:15-16 (GN) - I [wisdom] help kings to govern and rulers to make good laws.
16 Every ruler on earth governs with wisdom's help, statesmen and noblemen alike.

- Pray spiritual leaders will walk in wisdom, be people of prayer, and be kept by the power of God.
- Pray specifically. Call leaders by name. Pray for revival, peace of Jerusalem, success of Israel, and for other nations' needs.
