...The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.
Elijah was a man of like passion as we are. And he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for the time of three years and six months.
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to sprout. James 5:16-18
Previously we defined Energeo Prayers as hard work prayers, violent prayers, determined, effective, and effectual prayers. Here are some reasons why you must pray Energeo Prayers instead of just casual prayers.
1. Pray Energeo Prayers to change circumstances. Elijah was about to change a season, and He prayed Energeo prayers and stopped the rain for 3 years and six months. To change a situation that has been around for a long time YOU NEED ENERGEO PRAYERS. Therefore, we can definitively conclude that Energeo prayers are answered (avails much). James 5:16
2. To reverse a negative situation or a curse. After changing the situation, Elijah decided that the situation should be changed again, and therefore He went through another Energeo prayer to reverse the situation. There is no negative situation in your life that can not be reversed. But you will need to pray Energeo prayers. Simple and sleepy prayers will get you nowhere. You need Energeo prayers to reverse the situation or the curse. Some of you do not see a change because you only pray casual prayers. Get up for some Energeo prayers and see every negative situation around you turned into a positive and good one.
3. To manifest full power. According to
Luke 10:19 [Christ] has given us authority, power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt us.
However, we will not be able to fully manifest that power if we do not give ourselves to Energeo prayers and fasting.
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Matthew 17:21
4. The Lord Jesus himself prayed energeo prayers several times and expects you to do the same.
Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Even the Lord Jesus prayed with STRONG CRYING AND TEARS. If Jesus who is God, Son of God, and the Lord, prayed Energeo prayers with strong crying and tears, why won't you want to pray Energeo prayers?
Luke 22:44 And [Jesus] being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Nobody is more powerful than his (ENERGEO) prayer life. When should you pray Energeo prayers? Pray Energeo prayers All the time, (
1 Thessalonians 5:16), but mostly when you are alone and long before the battle. On the battlefield you must issue commands, short commands but before the battle, you must have spent time praying Energio prayers to manifest power in Battle. Let me reiterate what my pastor has often said by modifying it a little bit: Nobody is more powerful than his Energeo prayer life. The Lord Jesus expects us to pray Energeo prayers which are hard work prayers, no joke.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Luke 6:12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
Energeo prayers require some form of energy, endurance, and they will most likely make you sweat. Stop joking with important issues of your life and start praying like the Lord Jesus or even more with the help of the Holy Spirit, pray Energeo prayers.
But, how to pray Energeo prayers? Before we get into that, pray the following prayers. Say :
- Father, revive my spirit as you revived the spirit of people in the Bible, so I may pray Energeo prayers.
- Anything that makes my prayer life lukewarm, I arrest you by Divine authority in the name of Jesus.
- I ask of a fresh fire in prayer life.
- Speak in tongues for 1 to 3 hours according to the time you have at hand.
