OPEN HEAVEN 17 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE
Certain things can contaminate our prayers so that they weaken our prayers and their potential outcomes. One such thing is when we utter words that go against what we are praying for.
For example, if you pray for your country and later join others in saying that nothing good can come from that country, you have already contaminated your prayer.
Do not pray to God to give some life and then turn to death. Such a prayer will not bring results.
Joel 3:10 says, “Say to the weak, ‘I am strong.’” In other words, if you have prayed for strength but still see traces of weakness in yourself, at this point say, “I am strong.”
When your words are consistent with your prayers, they remain effective enough to produce the results you desire.
When you pray for something, it is important that your words and thoughts are consistent with your prayer. This way, you will not stand in the way of receiving an answer to your prayer.
Another factor that pollutes prayer is lack of concentration while praying. This happens when people pray but do not pray with their whole heart.
Rather, their minds are occupied with other things. The devil knows that if your mind is distracted while praying, your prayer will not have as much power as it should.
So when you decide to pray, He will remind you of things you still need to do and places you should have visited.
His plan is to keep your mind busy with other things so that you become distracted and lose concentration while praying.
If you find your mind wandering while praying, write down the things you should have done, put the note aside, and continue praying.
Train your mind to keep all distractions away and do not allow them to disrupt your connection with God during prayer.
With time and through continuous training of your mind, you will be able to focus on God when you pray.
