“But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him...” ~ Matthew 14:30-31a   REFERENCE: Matthew 14:25-33   It takes super resilient faith to endure the times we live in, ignoring the contrary winds of economic difficulties, an increase in violence, the dearth of empathy amongst men, and a general disregard for propriety. Many people are daily sinking into despair and depression, and there is an increase in global suicide rates. It takes divine intervention to rescue a...

"So then it is not of him who will, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy." ~ Romans 9:16   REFERENCE: Romans 9:14-16   Suppose a man's progress in life directly results from his efforts. In that case, many who engage in very exerting and strenuous work should be the most successful. While it is good to work hard and strive for excellence in all we do, it takes the blessings of God for a man to be successful in life. Paul says success doesn't just come by willing it or running swiftly; it is a product...

“…“Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” ~ Exodus 14:13-14   REFERENCE: Exodus 14:1-16   A new month has begun. It does not matter what your experience has been up until now; God will show up for you and set things right. The word I hear in my spirit as we journey into this month is DIVINE INTERVENTION. Divine intervention means divinity...

“So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”” ~ Judges 6:15   REFERENCE: Judges 6:11-16   God does not have a problem with doing great things through us; the big problem is, ‘Do we believe that He can do great things through us?’ God’s eyes run to and fro the earth, always looking for men through whom He can display His power and do mighty things, but are there men who are praying, watching, and seeking God to do great...

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” ~ II Timothy 2:13   REFERENCE: II Timothy 2:11-13   As we conclude the courtroom prayers series today, our only confidence to approach God, believing He will answer us, is His faithfulness. This attribute of God assures us that we will get judgment according to His unfailing love and unchanging devotion to us. Our text says that He cannot deny Himself. If we come to Him based on the legal provisions of His word, He is bound to answer us and give us justice based on such evidence. He cannot...

“For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”” ~ Romans 9:15   REFERENCE: Romans 9:14-18   Everything we receive from God comes on the platform of mercy. Where mercy, compassion, and love dwell, God dwells there too. Mercy is key in praying; not knowing this can make prayer ineffective. As in human courts, you can appeal to God’s mercy in courtroom prayers.   Understanding the legal provisions below will give you an advantage in courtroom prayers: h.     Present Superior & Relevant Evidence: Evidence is...

“Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And…they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.” ~ John 8:3-4   REFERENCE: John 8:1-11   Accusers brought the Woman in our text to the divine court. They referred to Moses’ law, which was written on stone, signifying that it cannot be altered and will not bend for anybody. They came with evidence and witnesses who claimed that the Woman was ‘caught’ in the ‘very act.’ But Jesus wrote in the sand to signify that any offense can be forgiven. He...

"Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." ~ Hebrews 7:25   REFERENCE: Hebrews 7:23-28   As seen in the last episode, there are legal provisions that parallel what is obtainable in human courts that we can employ in courtroom prayers. In human courts, the better acquainted you are with the law or legal provisions, the stronger your case and the likelier you are to win. Let us continue to discover the available legal provisions to win our case in the court of...

“Present your case,” says the Lord. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob..” ~ Isaiah 41:21   REFERENCE: Isaiah 41:21   We previously established that God is a God of justice, which should guide us when we pray to Him. Satan understands this about God, so he goes to Him to accuse the saints with evidence to make his case. Like Joshua, the High Priest, satan will find a character flaw and hold it against you. He looks for any stain of sin, unbelief, impure motives, etc., and flaunts it before God. You must often source counter-evidence and...
