God Needs You To Pray!!

2 misunderstanding about God that hinder people’s prayers:

1. His SovereigntyGod controls everything.
2. His Immutability God never changes. 

God’s going to to do what he wants to do anyway. Why pray?
Matthew 6:8 “For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” 

2 aspects of His nature that cause us to pray:

1. His SovereigntyGod is supreme
2. His Immutability He will always be GOOD 

Your right to call heaven to earth in every circumstance in your life has been restored.
You should pray! God is powerful.    You should pray!  God is always GOOD!!! 

John 15:7 “But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!” 

John 15:16 “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” 

John 13-17 Jesus meets with His disciples before He is crucified.
John 17 probably prayed in Gethsemane. Amazing conversation to be invited into. So significant. 

John 14:13-14 “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

John 16:23-24“And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My nameHe will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” 

Jesus is teaching His disciples about a shift in how the world is governed spiritually.  

They will walk in whole new realm of power and authority.

I am going to restore to you the open deed, the right to rule and reign on earth, through redemption in my blood!!! 

It isn’t going back to the way it was with Adam.  

They will be taken into a new realm of Kingdom privilege that never existed before.  

Hours before He is arrested, He teaches a new way to interact with heaven. 

ACTS they understood the authority and the use of the Name!!!

Acts 3:16Peter heals the lame man using the Name!!!“And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know.”
Acts 4:18 “So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.” 

Acts 5:40 “…they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.”

Acts 8:12 “But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the  name of Jesus Christ…”

Let me show this spiritual principle in the Old Testament and show you how it applies to your current authority and prayer “in the Name Of Jesus!”  INHERITANCE … REDEMPTION 

Jeremiah was locked up in the ground … holding cell … king mad at him forprophesying doom of Israel.  

BUT Now He prophesies restoration and beyond … And is commanded to back it up with a prophetic act. 

Jeremiah 31:31-34“‘The day is coming,’ says the Lord, ‘when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah … ‘I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people … ‘And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.’” 

Jeremiah Great word of RESTORATION AND BEYOND ….SECURE FOREVER!!!

Jeremiah 31:38-40“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. 40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”

Jerusalem … It is at those dimensions now!!! Today in our time 2019!!! 

Makes him perform this prophetic act of redeeming property that was temporarily sold to his uncle. Put your money where your mouth is. 

Jeremiah 32:6-9“…the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’ Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field … for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption yours;…”

Jeremiah 32:11-12“So I took the purchase deed, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open; and I gave the purchase deed to Baruch…”  

Jeremiah … Why did I do That???!!!
Jeremiah 32:25-27And You have said to me, O Lord God, “Buy the field for money, and take witnesses”!—yet the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’”  26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh.Is there anything too hard for Me?

God is telling Jeremiah that the Chaldeans may have the land now but I am going to redeem that land and restore it to my people through the right of redemption. 

This is a system established by God. It has spiritual implications
An uncle had purchased the land to get money to Jeremiah’s family … Jeremiah had the right to get it back both by redemption and by Inheritance.
The word of the Lord was, Redeem the land, it is yours by inheritance, but I want you to redeem the land.  

2 Rights:

1. Right of Redemption — I can buy the land back at any time. Before Jubilee
2. Right of Inheritance — The land will come back to me at Jubilee no matter what.

2 Deeds:

1. Sealed Deed — It has been given to my family forever … it belongs to us … God gave it
2. Open Deed —It can be sold to another if I am in need … or taken advantage of 

At the fall the open deed that Adam possessed he surrendered to the devil. Man had responsibility to rule on earth. 

Psalm 115:16 “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.”
Man has a responsibility to have dominion in the earth.

Luke 4:6-7 “And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I “And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

Revelation 5:9-10 “And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals;
For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”

Jesus had the right of inheritance, but He exercised the right of redemption.
I’m going to pay for it in my own blood! (REDEMPTION)
You have now been restored with the open deed. DOMINION
You get to write what belongs to you. You pray in His NAME. 

The sealed deed is secure forever. The open deed has been restored to you through the precious blood of Jesus. Now you can write on the open deed the purposes of God for your life. The devil cannot take it again. You alone allow, and disallow, whatever is in your open deed. 

You don’t get it all back when He comes. You get it all right now. Jesus exercised His right of redemption 2000 years ago so that you can reign NOW!!! 

Praying “In His Name” is writing His wonderful purposes for your life into manifestation right NOW!!!

Your right to call heaven to earth in every circumstance in your life has been restored.

You should pray!
God is powerful.
You should pray!

God is always GOOD!!!
