"GOD'S WORD IN PRAYER"
The No. 1 rule in praying for results is to base your prayer on God's Word. It can be relied on just as you would depend on the word of your best friend. If you trust him, you will believe what he says. Faith in God operates the same way. God's word is the integrity of God Himself (john 17:17).
As an example, let's use the prayer for salvation. The first step is to go to the word and find out what God says you must do to be saved. Romans 10:9_10 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Make this scripture the basis of your prayer. Confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead. God's Word says it, so you can accept it as fact. When you fulfil these two prerequisites, the Word says, "Thou shalt be saved." You must receive it by faith.
When you pray the prayer of salvation, you may not feel different. Realize that your feeling does not have any thing to do with it. God's Word is His part of your prayer life. He has already said in His Word, "Thou shalt be saved." You have allowed the Word of God to engineer your prayer. It makes no different how you feel. Exercise your faith. By the authority of God's Word you are saved! In Mark 11:24 Jesus said, "What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
God's Word is His will. When you pray in line with the Word, you have automatically prayed in line with God's will. First john 5:14_15 says, " And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." Your prayer for salvation, based on God's

"WHAT IS PRAYER"
Prayer is not an emotional release or an escape valve. It is much more than just asking God for favor. Most important, prayer is not a religious exercise. You should be getting results each time you pray. God responds to faith. So just repetition and beautiful words do not get the ear of God. Jesus said in Matthew 6:7 "But when ye pray, use not vain repetition, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard of their much speaking."
Let me give you an example from the experience shared by one of the prayer generals I've been following. Not long after I became a christian, I ask a minister to pray for me. I was expecting to hear a long, beautiful prayer___one that could cause people to fall on their knees in repentance before God! What I heard was just the opposite. He laid his hand on my chest, bow down his head, and said, Lord, bless him. Meet his every need." He then turned and walked away. I was left standing there thinking, How could he do that to me? I have big problems. It would have taken at least 20 minutes of hard prayer to cover everything ( Kenneth Copeland). The major difference separating the minister and papa Copeland was the degree of faith at work in their lives. The minister was operating in faith, praying exactly what he meant. While papa Copeland as a baby Christian was looking for physical manifestation of some kind.
The length of time or how hard you pray makes no difference. When you pray in faith, you have confidence in God's willingness to use His power to answer your prayer.
The man who has confidence in God is very difficult to defeat. He knows, regardless of what comes, he can pray and God will move in his behalf. The key then, to success in prayer, is expecting results. Many Christians think, I'll pray and maybe something will happen. They say, "I'm just hoping and praying."
If you are only hoping to get results, you will never receive from God. "Hoping to get" is not the same thing as "beli

"PRAYING FOR RESULTS"
The major cause of failure in christian enterprises is a lack of prayer.
Whether your goal is to witness to one man or to preach the gospel to nations, you will succeed or fail based entirely on your prayer live.
One percent of your time spent in prayer will produce 1 percent result. Eighty percent prayer will bring 80 percent results. This formula works every time. The obvious question is, "But how can I expect to receive 100 percent results? I can't spend all my time in prayer." Yes, you can!
Prayer is an attitude. It involves more than just making requests. It is communicating with God. You can live in an attitude of prayer every moment, being in constant communication and fellowship with your heavenly father.
In order to get results in prayer, you must be convinced that God wants to answer your prayers. In fact, He is as ready and willing to answer you as He was to answer Jesus during his earthly ministry. This may be difficult to believe, but it is true.
Many people always think of themselves as unworthy. Why would God bother to answer their prayers? Ignorance of His word kept them from receiving His best in their lives.
Once you realize the importance of the word of God, your attitude will change. You will realize God does not see His children as unworthy. Notice how Jesus prayed: "... that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast love me" (John 17:23). Just think! God loves you and me as much as He loves Jesus! We are worthy!
Knowing God is ready to answer your prayers will make you serious about your prayer life. Because you are a child of God, you have an open invitation from Him to come into the throne room at any time.
Never take this prayer privilege lightly. You do not have to enter His presence crawling on your hands and knees. You can boldly stand before God without a sense of guilt, shame or condemnation. Hebrews 4:16 says, "Let us therefore come boldly unto th

"PRAYER AND FELLOWSHIP"
It pleases God to answer your prayers. But He can only manifest Himself in the earth though the believer who is operating in faith. Faith makes prayer effective and it pleases God (Hebrews 11:6). However, there will be no strong faith without deep and intimate fellowship with the father. This is the very heart of a successful prayer live.
Fellowship is the mother of faith because you can only put your faith and confidence in God to the extent you know Him. Just as in any relationship, spending time in fellowship with your heavenly father is the only way to become personally acquainted with Him.
Your new birth into the family of God has given you the right to expect your prayers to be answered. You have come into a Father_child relationship. Relationship without fellowship, however, is like marriage without love. In a loveless marriage, two people are related but don't really know each other.
If you never spent quality time fellowshipping with your son, any one could tell him lies about you and he would believe them. The same thing applies to a husband and wife, an employer and employee, business partners, etc. Lack of fellowship causes lack of trust. If this can happen in human relationships, it can happen between you and your heavenly Father.
When I don't know my heavenly Father, Satan can lie to me about Him__trying to convince me He is my problem, or the one making me sick to teach me something. It would be easy to believe him, but my trust (faith) in my Father causes me to refuse Satan's lies (called doubt or unbelief). Isaiah 26:3 says, "Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
The more you fellowship with God, the more you will know He is not your problem. He is for you and wants to use His power on your behalf. Galatians 1:3_4 says, "Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might

"AND HAVING DONE ALL, TO STAND."
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness if this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, AND HAVING DONE ALL, TO STAND. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God; Praying always with all prayers and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. Eph. 6:10_18
Christianity is not limited to going to church, being a pastor, reverend, bishop, overseer, or holding any vital position. Christianity is a warfare. And every christian is a soldier, you are to stand and fight your enemies at the battle field, and our battle field is this world. But before a soldier must go to the battle, he must have been well trained and equip. And as a soldier on training, you are expected to endure hardness 2Tim. 2:3.
To withstand the enemies _ principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness. Eph. 6:12; Works of the flesh ( Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, Lasciviousness, Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance, Emulations, Wrath, Strife, Sedition, Heresies, Envying, Murder, Drunkenness, Revellings, and such like). Gal. 5:19_21. All these enemies have their own weapons which include: sickness, poverty, delay, near success syndrome, false accusation, disappointment, etc. Therefore, to fight as a good soldier

"PRAYER SECRETS"
Prayer is the foundation of every successful christian endeavour. Time spent with God is vital if you desire a fruitful Christian live. As the foundation of every Christian endeavour, it plays a vital role in living a successful Christian live. Study the lives of the great men and women of God from the past, and you will see the strong emphasis they placed on prayer. Without prayer, they would never have been able to achieve such tremendous results.
Throughout the New Testament we can see the value of prayer in the founding of the early churches. The apostle Paul prayed and interceded many hours for the new believers. In Ephesians 1:16 he wrote "(I) cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers." In Colossians 1:3 he said "We give thanks to God and the father of our lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you." In1 Thessalonian 5:17, he instructed the Church to "pray without ceasing." Luke 18:1 says "Men aught always to pray, and not to faint."
It is not enough to know that we should pray. We need to know why. Look at Ephesians 4:14_16:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase on the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Compare the body of Christ to a brick building. The bricks would topple if they were joined together. Mortar forms those bricks into a solid, impenetrable wall. It is held together, or made useful by the effectual working of every part. In the same way, the power of love, through prayer and intercession, is the mortar which knits the body

"MARCHING FORWARD"
And the Lord said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Tell the children of Israel to go (march) forward.
As you cross over to the month of march, you shall "march" out of Egypt. You shall "march" out of every oppression, persecution and slavery. It does not matter how long your troubles may have lasted, how long you may have cried unto the Lord does not count. One thing that is sure is that in this last day of February the Lord will hear your cry and will remember the covenant he had with your generation Exo. 2:24_25; 3:7_8
As you cross over to the month or March, you shall March down every wall of Jericho blocking you from entering into your inheritance in Jesus Christ name. Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall "march" around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets if ram's horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall "march" around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of Jericho will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him. Josh 6:1_5. This is you portion in the month of "MARCH"
