HOW TO HAVE VICTORY AND POWER IN PRAYER

Jeremiah 33:3 says call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you know not. We have to pray to God, we have to seek him.  The victory and power comes when we seek his face. Jeremiah 29:11-13 God says, I know the thoughts that I think towards you, thoughts of peace, not of evil, to give you an expected end.  God is thinking about you, he wants your life to be
full of peace, not calamity and turmoil.  He says when you pray, I will listen to you, then he says, when you seek me, you shall find me, when you search for me with all your heart.  We are supposed to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. We should pray every day, not just when we feel like it.  The bible says, pray without ceasing, that means as much as possible. We need to pray because we have an enemy named satan.  He is walking around seeking whom he may devour.
The devil is looking for weak Christians, who don't pray or read their bible.  Christians who's lights are very dim.  When you don't pray, your light is dim, you have no power.  No prayer, no power!
Have you ever turned on a flashlight and the light was dim? That means the battery is weak, there's no power, no charge.  When we pray, we build ourselves up, we charge up the power dwelling on the inside of us, our light is shining bright for the glory of God.  When the devil sees that bright light, he runs, because he can't come against the power and presence of God.

There are 4 keys to having victory and power in prayer:
1. REPENT OF YOUR SINS
 Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity or sin in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  If you have any unforgiveness
in your heart toward someone; forgive them.  Jesus said, if you don't forgive, neither will your father in heaven forgive you.
2. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
You have to have a desire for something; be specific
Mark 11:24 What things so ever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them.
3. ASK IN FAITH
Believe that what you are asking God to do in your life is already done by faith in Jesus name. Faith moves the hand of God. Without faith, it's impossible to please God.
Don't waver back and forth, don't be in doubt and unbelief. Don't be double minded.  If you waver in your faith, you won't receive anything from the Lord. James 1:5-8
4. FIND SCRIPTURES
Find the scriptures in the bible that promise you the answers to your prayers.  If you need to be healed, look for scriptures on healing and confess them over your body. Whatever you need to have a successful life, it's in the word of God.  The bible is full of precious promises that will give you the answers to your prayers.
