Many Christians ask themselves, how can they ensure that their prayer is not drowsy, but a prayer of fire?
It’s important to know that Christians are regularly attacked. So we can often see the effects on our prayer life.
How could you possibly know?
– This is when the atmosphere of prayer seems heavy,
– When prayer is dragging or dormant, without any spirit
– When we are totally distracted,
– When we can’t open our mouths to pray, it’s important that the air, the atmosphere of the house, is cleansed by the words of our mouths.
Prayer is a battle. Our enemy knows we’re going to pray and that we’ve scheduled a time to pray, so he’ll seek to combat that moment of prayer, injecting things to make it difficult, burdensome.
So what should a Christian do in these cases?
The secret lies in:
1 Corinthians 6.20
For you were bought at a price; Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
We are redeemed and belong to God, who is our rock for eternity.
It’s important to know that when it’s difficult for a Christian to pray, it means his soul has been infected by spiritual pollution.
God is perfect, He is Light, He is Holy.
And He wants us to be holy too.
1 Peter 1.16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
So when we notice this heaviness when we pray, we shouldn’t ignore it.
We must rely on the Rock immediately. In other words, remember that you have been redeemed and belong to God.
Then there are two very useful, effective and powerful things to do:
1/ Lean on the Rock and ask the Lord to cleanse your soul of all contamination and pollution by means of the blood of Jesus.
For example:
« May all enchantment or pollution be removed from me by the blood of Jesus! »
That very second, the spell will disappear.
A human being can be polluted by what he sees, hears or even smells.
The doors to the soul are the eyes, ears and sometimes the nose.
Every time we hear bad words, or see bad images, bad videos…we are polluted. Some dreams are also systems of pollution by the enemy.
And all these things become doors of entry for our enemies.
Then we must ask for a deep cleansing by the blood of Jesus so that our thoughts, our hearts, our atmosphere… are constantly purified.
So the first thing to do is to disinfect yourself and your whole house. And as you do so, you must also ask the Lord for forgiveness for everything you’ve done against His Word.
2/ Still leaning on the Rock, you ask the Holy Spirit to baptize you with his fire.
For it is written:
Ps 104.4
Who makes His angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire.
We constantly need the fire of the Holy Spirit.
For example, you can pray like this:
« Holy Spirit, baptize me with your fire, make me a flame of fire. Lord, may all that is not in your name in me, in this house...be destroyed! May every spirit of heaviness that prevents me from praying be consumed by fire... »
So, with this same fire, you continue to cleanse your atmosphere and your day.
This evil spirit will be forced to leave or it will die.
In short, two important tools to be used with power, and always leaning on the Rock (1 Corinthians 6.20):
- Use the Blood of Jesus to cleanse your soul, your life, your family, your home…
- Ask the Holy Spirit to baptize you with his fire, to make you a flame of fire. And use this fire of power promptly, while continuing to pray.
You are redeemed, use your power with authority!
