PRAYER FOR TODAY - August 4, 2013 (Understanding and Praying With The Power and Authority That God Has Given Us)

Before we can pray effectively, we have to understand the authority that we have been given.    If you look back at Genesis 1:26-28 ... you will see three facts about man established.    The first one being that God gave man dominion.   The second one is that God created man in His image.  The third one being that God blessed man.    Once you begin to understand who you are and the power that God placed within you and ordained you to use, you can then start to pray with authority and effectiveness.   

Father help us to see.   Help us to see that you created us in your image.   That you formed us after your likeness.   That you gave us power and authority to be your representatives in the earth.   Father help us to begin to walk out our lives the way you created  us to be.  Where we can pray and where we can speak and so shall it be.    Father it is our desire to walk fully and completely in your word and the power that you have given us.   Help us now Father in Jesus name we do pray.  Amen.
