Prayer and Intercession—Rebuking and fighting the enemy
(Jesus speaking: ) If people would follow My example while I was on Earth in a human form, and pray each day before the day’s work begins, so much more—and so much more good—would be done each day. I can’t emphasise the importance of talking to Me, your Lord and provider, about all that is going on in your life. This brings power to you and help to others. If I, the Son of God, didn’t allow Myself to be too busy to pray, or to say that I was fine working without it, how much more do you, who need even more of Heaven’s help to do your job there on Earth, need to pray daily for God’s help. Do it! You’ll miss so much if you don’t!

(Jesus speaking: ) You are not fighting through your life alone, there on this special planet revoluting through space. I’m astonished how much people think that, because it isn’t true. I am actively involved with so much more than mankind wishes to acknowledge, and also thinking that you are alone  means you think you can survive without My daily providence. I give you your portions daily, of all that is needed to sustain life. It’s just that My hand is invisible and not clearly seen in the Spiritual realm while you are on Earth. But My presence can be clearly see through the providence that I give, and the assistance that comes in a timely fashion to those who call to Me for help. Call out when you have a need—spiritually or physically. I’ll hear. And fight the enemy’s temptation to swallow the lies that you are basically on a course that has been going on forever, and will continue to do so, completely unaided. That diabolical lie is so ludicrous. Where on Earth did all the stuff come from? On everything in nature there is stamped: “Made by God”—including you. So tap into My speedy help support system with a faith filled prayer. You are on my list of “missions to support”. I hear you. Please know that I am and will always be there with you. –Your God, Maker, and Eternal Provider, for you have chosen Me, too.

(Jesus speaking: ) A horse trainer has to work hard, and can’t be lazy, or let the animal do whatever it wishes to, or it won’t be of much use. The trainer gets back good results according to the effort and time and skill that it gave out helping the horse to become the best it could be. So it is with the prayers you pray. You need to concentrate and train your mind to focus. You need to learn how to put effort into prayer. A prayer that is said while you are busy with other things or wishing you were doing other things, isn’t going to bring as much result as a prayer that is focused on, and you’ve given it all your effort, and used the words that God likes to hear. Just like training a horse, certain words need to be used, so it is with prayer. Saying words of praise, and saying words of humility, and then backing up your prayer request with the Word of God and quoting scriptures, because you know what you are praying for is according to the will of God, makes for a good and powerful prayer that yields results.

(Jesus speaking: ) Ever seen ants creeping into a house using some tiny little crack in the wall? Or have you seen some very small mosquitoes that can even come in through a screen on the window, and need a much smaller weave to keep them out? If you had seen only one of them—like one little ant, or one very tiny flying creature, you wouldn’t have troubled yourself about it, but when they all start to come in, then it can be bothersome. They get into your food, or keep you up at night from their bites. That’s like the enemy. He’s so small he can easily be squished by God who is unbeatable. But for now he is being allowed to roam around and see what cracks and gaps there are that he and his puny team are able to creep into and trouble people, just because they really don’t have anything better to do. But you can choose to not give any place. Fill in the gaps of sadness in your life with doing good for others, and keeping on the Armour of God. Ask God for His full covering and protection, so you can be safe and happy and doing your work for Jesus.

(Jesus speaking: ) Ever seen a fireworks display? What sets it off is small compared to what it looks like in the sky. It’s big and bright and many people can see it. That’s like your prayers, if they are prayed and you use the heat of the Holy Spirit to set them ablaze. Then they really are seen and heard. All Heaven might feel and see the effects of a prayer you pray today, depending on your heart’s fervency, and if the request is one we are all hoping you’ll pray for so that we, your Heavenly team, can get to work to help bring answers in that area. Pray with power—and by power I don’t mean just loud, but praying as the Spirit of God leads you and prays through you, and you use the promises of God, and the power of God in your prayers. Remember in My Word I said they were off track because they didn’t know scripture or the power of God? Be sure you know both, and then your prayers will make a great affect that many will see—even if they never know it was you that prayed and made the request to Heaven; the one who God responded to and got things in motion. Pray with the power of God, and the effects will be heard and seen all around the globe.
