Introduction to the Believer's Walk of Faith [0:00]
The believers walk of faith is supported by Bill Winston Ministries partners and viewers. Righteousness is essential for a successful life, and praying righteously means praying with confidence that God will hear you. The real fight begins after you pray and are waiting for the manifestation of your answer. The devil often attacks your thoughts, so it's important to guard your words and not negate your prayers. Angels are on assignment, waiting to act on the words you speak that align with God's promises.
The Legal Right of Prayer and the Role of Angels [1:36]
Prayer is defined as a legal right to ask God to supernaturally intervene on your behalf. Angels are ministering spirits sent to help believers. God is not running the world; He is running the church, and the church should be influencing the world. Angels are assigned to believers to ensure that God's promises come to pass. It's crucial to watch what you say because angels are waiting for God's word or the words you speak.
The Power of Words and the Covenant with God [3:50]
Psalm 103:19 states that the Lord has prepared His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all. Angels excel in strength and do God's commandments, heeding the voice of His word. Angels are beside believers, ministering to them. Hebrews 1:14 says that angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. When someone gets born again, an angel is assigned to them to ensure God's promises are fulfilled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, as stated in Deuteronomy 30:19.
The Spiritual Battle After Prayer [8:30]
When you pray and wait for the answer, the fight begins because the enemy tries to prevent the manifestation of your prayer. Daniel persevered for 21 days, and his words moved the angels. If you don't speak the right words, especially in difficult situations, angels cannot help you. In Daniel 10, the prince of Persia (a demonic force) withstood the angel for 21 days until Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help. The reason the angel had to get through was because God's word was on the line.
God's Inability to Lie and the Assurance of Answered Prayer [11:20]
Titus 1:2 states that God cannot lie, reinforcing the reliability of His promises. If God didn't answer your prayer, it would be as if He lied, which is impossible. Gabriel called for Michael's help to get through to Daniel because the prayer was heard. 1 John 5:14-15 assures that if we ask anything according to God's will, He hears us, and we have the petitions we desired. Jesus operated similarly, praying before raising Lazarus from the dead.
The Importance of Faith and Resisting Doubt [14:50]
After you pray, the enemy tries to introduce doubt. It's important not to rely on feelings because faith is not a feeling but confidence. Everything in the house of God is run by prayer because you need God's help for everything. The enemy sees the mark of Jesus on you and tries to stop you. Spiritual forces resist the blessings meant for you. If you're not ready to fight, you're not ready to pray.
Praying According to God's Will and Receiving His Promises [18:34]
If you pray according to God's will, He will hear you, and you will receive what you asked for. Mark 11:24 encourages believers to believe they have received what they prayed for. If you pray about problems, you will have more problems. Joshua 1:3 promises that every place the sole of your foot treads, God has given to you. God will not fail or forsake you, just as He was with Moses.
Angels as Covenant Enforcing Agents [20:41]
Exodus 23:20-23 describes how God sent an angel before Moses to keep him in the way and bring him to the prepared place. Angels are covenant-enforcing agents. God will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. The angel will go before you and bring you into the land, and God will cut off your enemies.
Overcoming Impossibilities Through Prayer and Faith [22:16]
Deuteronomy 9:1 states that you are about to cross the Jordan to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself. The first battle was Jericho. God instructed Joshua to march around the city and shout, which seemed naturally stupid, but it was a supernatural strategy. Naturally, we cannot do it ourselves, so we need to pray for God to intervene.
Conclusion: The Power of Righteous Prayer and Faith-Filled Words [24:52]
Righteousness is essential for a successful life, and praying righteously means praying with confidence that God will hear you. The fight begins after you pray, and the devil attacks your thoughts. Watch your words because angels are waiting to act on God's words. When God suggests the impossible, believe it. Stand in your righteousness and exercise faith.
