Prayer will be as easy as breathing for the believer. It will be as natural to pray as it is to live. The knowledge of God is the key to that kind of life. Once His knowledge fills us, His Word will empower us, allowing us to pray effectively. However, prayer is impossible unless we are filled with His knowledge and the knowledge of His Word. Overcoming prayerlessness takes place only when this happens, as Pastor Benny shares on this life-changing broadcast.
pastor Benny Hinn is celebrating 40
years of ministry taking the gospel to
the nations of the world looks are
precious Jesus today who say he
delivered prospered and blessed this is
your day for our viewers the disciples
said to our wonderful Jesus they said
teach us Lord how to play I think today
we are still asking the same thing Lord
teach us how to play I want to teach you
today what does the Bible say about
prayer because I believe God Almighty
wants to wants to destroy the power of
prayer lessness in your life in my life
because see the enemy will cause
distractions trouble and bondage so we
just won’t pray and when we are not
praying that’s when we lose strength
that’s what when when trouble really
increases and things get a whole lot
worse the Bible tells us why
prayerlessness exists and the answer
also on what to do about it is in the
Bible how do we experience victory every
day you know it’s possible it’s possible
to experience victory every day of your
life and I’ve seen this happen in my
life when I wait upon the Lord and you
know what it says in Isaiah 40 they that
wait upon the Lord will renew their
strength now this does not happen in one
minute or overnight it’s a process of
waiting upon the Lord and I’ve
experienced in my life well it takes me
2 weeks to get back to full power it’s
just like a battery you know if you lose
battery power you can charge it up it
may take you an out or two for the
battery let’s say your phone or whatever
but our spiritual battery needs to be
recharged every so often and we recharge
it through prayer so just like you
charge your battery daily for your phone
or other things well why not charge you
spiritual battery every day because
daily contact is the key give us this
day our daily bread if we neglect one
day think about the disaster and the
trouble we can experience so but why is
there problems with prayer because of
the fall of man prayerlessness began in
Genesis chapter 3 when Adam hid from God
there’s hiding in God is prayer hiding
from God is prayerlessness so here he
was hiding from the Lord in Genesis 3
but why was he hiding from God because
of sin sin is the problem here
prayerlessness is the result of sin and
frankly it’s a disease it’s a problem
bigger than really what you think I mean
when you when you think about a disease
it’s something major
it’s a spiritual disease and the only
way to to correct it is at the cross we
have to bring our disease to the cross
of Jesus it’s the only way now let me
show you what the Bible says because I
think we need to deal with this what
does the word of God say about trayless
nasai why do people not pray alright and
the result of it so I want to show this
to you first from Scripture so go with
me to Joe please if you have your Bible
take your Bible with me and we’ll even
put it for you on the screen to make it
simpler in job 15 it says the reason
people do not pray is because they lose
the fear of God they’ve lost it that’s I
think what probably most people don’t
realize the minute sin enters into
someone’s heart the fear of God is gone
Adam hid from the Lord but why was he
hiding from God because the fear of God
was gone because he God had said don’t
touch the tree don’t touch the fruit
of the knowledge of good and evil what
the fear was gone and now that hiding
from God not in God the Word of God says
to us in job 15 verse 4 yea thou cast us
off fear and restrain us prayer before
God in other words the minute the fear
of God is gone
prayer is dead now when prayer dies the
the results are disastrous job 21
beginning at verse 14 it says this
therefore they say now these are the
people who just do not want to pray
therefore they say unto God depart from
us we desire not the knowledge of thy
ways what is the Almighty that we should
serve Him and what prophets should we
have if we pray to Him now this is what
the wicked are saying this is what men
and women say who don’t care about
prayer will tell you something
we as Christians have have discovered
there’s power and prayer unlimited power
everything that God is everything that
God has he has put at the disposal of
prayer think about this
auditory said one day he said prayer can
do anything God can do he said therefore
if prayer can do anything God can do
then prayer is omnipotent see my my
desire for you as my partner my prayer
for you as my partner and friend is that
your prayer life becomes strong and
mighty because you will you will
experience the part of God in such a way
where you will have daily victories they
that wait upon the Lord will renew their
strength they will mount up as with
wings as Eagles they are run and not be
weary they walk and not faint
what happens is in prayer is the minute
you pray and your strength is restored
your battery is recharged suddenly your
spiritual discernment is back because it
says we’ll mount up like the Eagles well
the thing about the eagle is he stands
on the road that that bird stands on the
rock and will not release its wings will
not you know surrender to the wind until
the wind currents are right so now
discernment is back the minute you pray
your discernment you’re able to discern
what is of God and what is not of God
the second thing is you you’re able to
surrender to the spirit to the Holy
Spirit it’s impossible to surrender to
the Holy Spirit without prayer and the
minute you surrender like the Eagle
surrenders to the wind you’ll mount up
to higher places of God so you’re able
now to go to those high places of praise
and worship where the anointing is is is
powerful because it says in Deuteronomy
32 13 about Jacob it says God made him –
honey and oil out of the rock but where
was he he was in the high places of the
earth it says he made him ride on the
high places of the earth well how did
you get there prayer they that wait upon
the Lord will renew their strength and
mount up that’s right now you’re up in
those high places like the Eagle and
they’re there is power that’s what it
says in Deuteronomy 32 13 now something
else it says they shall run amazingly
they run before they walk they shall run
and not be weary they shall walk and not
faint
that’s are they forty running means
you’ll catch up with God because
prayerlessness causes you to slow down
you’re not able to walk you’re not able
to fellowship with the Lord so when you
are in prayer now you’re able to catch
up with the Lord you’re running to catch
up with the world God is and
a safe under the cloud remember that in
the Old Testament when the children of
Israel were following the cloud those
way in the back were killed by a manic
so if if you’re not catching up with God
the enemy will destroy exactly because
those who were way back there could not
catch up with God were killed we don’t
want to be killed we don’t want to be
destroyed by the enemy so what must we
do catch up with God because that’s
where the protection is that’s what
safety is under MacLeod
it happens in prayer now every time you
pray you exhale the flesh and inhale the
holy spirit in a powerful I’m going to
say it again every time you pray you
exhale the flesh and you inhale a holy
spirit so prayer develops or brings
about releases the presence of the holy
spirit and the presence of the holy
spirit produces more prayer so it’s like
this when you pray but part of God is
released and as the part of God is
released more prayer is born it’s like a
it’s like a an eternal circle of power
we pray the part of God comes now the
part of God comes and we continue to
rank so but those who are not praying
are in trouble and the Bible says in in
job 21
let’s just keep reading verse 16 it says
no other good is not in their hand the
counsel of the wicked is far from me you
know I love just talking to you
one-on-one heart-to-heart I ministered a
few days back on the Holy Spirit many of
you loved it and called us about it I
want to see God do something mighty with
you as my partner as your prayer life
comes back into power but you see it
takes a decision on our part
Paul the Apostle said in Corinthians in
fact let’s just go to it we will come
back to job very quickly go to 1st
Corinthians 9 because this is what you
and I have to do all the time and this
is probably the toughest part of all but
we we we really have no choice we have
to do it verse 27 of chapter 9
1st Corinthians 9:27 but I keep under my
body and bring it into subjection lash
that by any means when i have preached
to others i myself should be a castaway
you know it’s possible to preach the
gospel and and see the sick healed and
people set free and and wonderful things
happen and yet loose at the end if you
become prayerless absolutely and the
lord made that very clear he said many
will come in that day saying lord lord
and i will say to them i never knew you
now you have to think about this how is
it possible that these people were able
to cast out demons and and see people
healed and wonderful things that happen
through their ministry any other Lord
would say I never knew you well the key
is found in 2nd Samuel chapter 1 where
David talks about Saul and says when
Saul lost the anointing it says as
though he had not been anointed with oil
in other words the minute a person loses
the favor of God it’s as though he was
never here God looks and says I never
knew you because the moment the
anointing departs the moment the Holy
Spirit is gone from someone’s life and
it’s possible of course for the tappet
because it it happened to solve and
others in Scripture Judas was another
one the minute the anointing is gone God
looks at that person as though he was
never here as though they were never
used of God and that’s what it says in
2nd Samuel chapter 1 it says the
mountains of Gilboa that there be no do
neither let there be rain upon you nor
fields of
for there the shield of a mighty is
Valley cast away and the shield of Sol
as though he had not been anointed with
oil now that to me is scare that’s
frightening that once someone loses the
anointing it’s as though they never had
it it’s as though God never even knew
them but what what causes all that what
brings about this disaster in people’s
life prayerlessness when people stop
praying
that’s when destruction comes remember
in second chronicles 26 it says very
clearly as long as he sought the Lord
God made him to prosper there we read
about a king named Isaiah in Isaiah was
a young man when he started and and and
the Word of God makes it very clear that
as long as he prayed as long as he
sought God God made him to prosper this
is in verse 5 second chronicles 26 5 and
he sought God in the days of Zechariah
who had understanding in the visions of
God and as long as he sought the Lord
God made him to prosper so here’s the
key as long as he sought the Lord God
made him to prosper that’s it right
there
but it’s our decision you and I have to
draw near to God before he will draw
near to us we make the first step and
that first step is the tough one that’s
why Paul in 1st Corinthians 9:27 says I
gotta bring my body under subjection the
word subjection in the Greek gives the
idea that the flesh is fighting to be
put on the subjection you have to use
force it’s like it’s like two wrestlers
when they are wrestled somebody’s always
fighting you know
daaad wrestled with Jacob there was
struggle struggle and that’s what I’m
talking about you you you you have to to
struggle with the flesh and that happens
daily but it gets easier as you keep
praying every day it’s much easier to
bring the body under subjection you know
on day four or five now like I said
earlier it will take you about two weeks
to go to full strength if you have not
been praying will take you two weeks of
daily prayer to go into full strength
but by the third fourth fourth day it’s
a lot easier because the flesh has
weakened by now they that wait upon the
Lord will renew their strength so your
strength
begins to come back your strength begins
to return and the and the worst thing
you can do for yourself is neglect
prayer the price of neglect is very high
because when we neglect time with the
Lord
everything suffers we suffer spiritually
we suffer emotionally we suffer
physically our family suffers our home
our future suffers everything goes wrong
suddenly everything falls apart and the
enemy becomes strong and here is the
here is the frightening part is when we
lose strength because of prayerlessness
the enemy will gain strength against us
and then we are we’re back in prison
we’re back in bondage prayer is the key
truly there is power in prayer I’m
really asking the Lord even while I’m
talking that the Lord is speaking and
talking to you about prayer it’s time to
go back to those quiet times with the
Lord daily on your knees you know play
worship music in the background as you
as you’re entering in and I’m going to
help you to show you what the Bible says
so please don’t miss one program now
prayerlessness I need to show you the
the danger of what could happen if you
don’t play so it says in verse 16 I’m
back now to job 21 verse 16 because it
talks about people who don’t want to
pray in verse 15 verse 16 says their
good is not in them in their hand the
counsel of the wicked is gone so the
first thing that people lose is counsel
they are not able to make proper
decisions because now prayer is out of
their life
number 2 verse 17 how often is the
candle of the wicked put out how often
comes their destruction upon them this
is this is quite frightening because
here it says how often is the candle of
the wicked put out in other words
there’s no light in their life think
about people walking in darkness when
there is no prayer there is no light and
then it says how often comes their
destruction on them so where there is no
prayer there is no protection as it says
destruction comes on them that means no
protection verse 18 they are as stubble
before the wind as chaff that the storm
carries away no preservation they are
not preserved they’re not kept by God so
no prayer means no counsel no prayer no
light no prayer means no protection and
no prayer means no preservation they are
not reserved they’re not kept you know
how it says in the scripture that God
will keep you as the apple of the eye
well he is not he will not be able to
keep you unless you pray prayer gives
the Lord the you know the opportunity it
releases him to protect you so imagine
that we limit God when we don’t pray
literally we limit his power when we
don’t pray it it goes on to say in verse
19 God laid up his iniquity for his
children he rewards him and he’ll know
it
there’s no forgiveness I mean think
about this a God lays up his iniquity on
him and his children so not only is he
suffering but its own kids are suffering
no forgiveness because of no prayer no
prayer means there’ll be judgment on
that family I mean nobody wants this I’m
trying to show you the importance of
prayer even if it’s only half an hour a
day now I suggest one out every day
that’s my advice to you because Jesus
said could you not wait with me an hour
and hour a day we’ll do the job now if
you can spend more time please do it
because you will just be flowing a whole
lot easier the next day and and for the
week because now as you’re waiting upon
the Lord your increasing strength okay
so you’re receiving more strength if you
wait for an hour and a half or two hours
rather than half half an hour but you
know it’s up to you and I know you have
working responsibilities but please take
time in the morning and do it in the
morning because evening it’s just not
the it’s not the right time because your
body is worn out God wants the best of
your day and the best of your day is in
the morning and that’s why David said in
the morning Lord you’ll hear my voice
now let’s keep going here with the
result of prayerlessness in verse 20 it
says his eyes shall see his destruction
ah so think about no blessings on mercy
on that man’s life because he’s not pray
his eyes will see destruction no mercy
no blessings and then verse 21 for what
pleasure has he that the number it says
in his house when the number of his of
his months is cut off imaged his own his
own descendants are now also suffering
no blessings on his children so no mercy
Oh blessings on him no blessings or
mercy on his family because he has not
played or she has not played now on the
program tomorrow I want to talk about
the three realms of Prayer
and how to escape Satan’s trap in prayer

will restore your strength and I’m going
