The Great Shift in our Words
In this study, I hope to help you shift your prayer posture, as the great shift in your words will set the foundation of how you talk to the LORD. These two things need to occur, A) How do you see your personal relationship with Christ Jesus, and B) How do you talk to Christ Jesus. Let's start with:
A) When you see that you are in favor of the person you are requesting from, you realize that you are at peace with your ask, not already in the rejected zone, but in the YES zone. You know that because they see you in a very positive light then, you are more comfortable, not in fear, not afraid to be rejected.
One of the things I have found in the Bible are these two words - If and Because. What is the definition of 'If' - conjunction - introducing a conditional clause; on the condition or supposition that; in the event that. By its meaning, there is a condition that has to be met.
What is the definition of 'Because' - conjunction - for the reason that; since.
This is a conversation between two men and an extremely large group. Let's set the scene. 12 people have been sent to see if the (promise) land is what the LORD had said it was, and now they have come back to give a report of what they saw. They agreed that the promise was fantastic, it was everything that the LORD had said, however, there was an issue, big stuff was in the way, and the people there were much bigger. These people there had bigger weapons, they were bigger in size, it was like you were a pee-wee football team, and the guys in the NFL, were on the field. So you were afraid and intimidated. 10 of the 12 said, we can not enter into this promise, we look like grasshoppers in their eyes, we are too small and they are too big. 2 of the 12 said these words, ( I am going to share two translations ) in the King James ver, they use the words "If" (numbers 14:8) If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land flowing with milk and honey. In the Hebrew translation, they use word "because" notice how this reads, "Because" (numbers 14:8) because the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land flowing with milk and honey. Two different foundational places. So we need to start praying with " Because" -
Because I am a child of Father GOD , he will for me
Because I am saved by the blood of Jesus, I am rightly saved to the Kingdom of Father GOD
Because I am branch and Jesus is the vine, the favor of Father GOD is upon me
Because I am in Christ Jesus, I am seated at the right hand of the Father
Praying from the right place is so important not with "IF" , but Because. Amen
Prayer:
Abba Father in Christ Jesus name do I thank you for your word, thank you for placing me in Christ Jesus, saved and highly favored. I know that because I am seated in Christ Jesus, I can ask you whatever, and you will for me. I receive your free gift, Christ Jesus, always in my life and thank you for loving me, despite my flesh. i praise you and honor you and thank you in Christ Jesus name. Amen
