“APOSTOLIC FAITH” Part III

“AF003”

Romans 8:26

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered."

1. Praying In The spirit

The Bible tells us that when you pray in the spirit, you pray not to men but God. And when you do pray to God, you pray the perfect will of God for your situation. So you have a family member or a brother or sister in the church that's in trouble. So you can pray in the spirit on their behalf.

Now you don't know, what to pray for, but pray in the spirit. You may say people are laughing at me, but you are getting the job done because the spirit is making intercession for you with groaning.

Not only that, here are a few other Apostolic Principles.

2. The Name of Jesus

Some people throw that name around. But when you know the power of that name, you don't throw it around. Because when you speak that name, demons tremble.

3. Communion

Communion is not just drinking some juice ad bread. NO! Communion is deliverance time; demons can not stand communion. Because it allows the Believer to receive Christ into their heart in remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus made that defeated all the enemy's works. And took all power back from the enemy.

4. Laying On of Hands

Or impartation is the way we transfer the anointing to another person. For example, a leader can lay hands on someone, and the gift that is in the leader can transfer to the other person:

Deut. 34:9

"And Joshua the son of Nuh, was full of the Spirit of Wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses."

II Tim. 1:6

"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by he putting on of my hands."

5. Praise

People are coming to God and don't even know the value of praise and worship. The Bible says praise will stop the works of the enemy.

II Chronicles 20:21 says:

"And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and were smitten."

Praise will shut the devil down and render him powerless. I'm talking about the enemy speaking into your mind, telling you that you will die, no one loves you because they never call or come to see you. You can't live save in these last days. You are going to get COVID and die. People don't really like you anyway.

But, People of God, we need to grow up spiritually. Praising God will send angels, and those angels will perform on your behalf because of your praise. Praise brings God right to your situation.

Psalms 22:3 says:

"But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel."

I'm talking about really praising God, getting lost in praise and worship to the point that you can't see what was bothering you in the first place. All you see is the glory of God in your life. All you see is God bring you out. I'm talking about True Praise.

6. FAVOR

"Favor ain't fair." People of God Favor is a powerful thing. In other words, you will not go higher than the Favor of God will allow you to go if you look in the Word of God.

Luke 2:52 says:

"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in Favor with God and man."

If Jesus had to have Favor, don't you think you may need to have Favor too! Favor will determine the limits of your destiny. Favor is something that God gave you to enable you, with the grace of God, to do what God called you to do. One encounter with God's Favor is worth a lifetime of labor. Brothers and sisters, I declare Favor in your life every day. Favor over your children, your job, your marriage, your church, your business, promotion, restoration, increased assets, vision, Prayer request granted, promises fulfilled, battles won, and I do not have to fight. This year I'm living in the Favor of God. The Kingdom of God has Favor. The world doesn't have Favor; understand this. The Word of God is the authority of the Kingdom, and the word of the Kingdom comes with God's Favor and Power. Favor consistently produces Apostolic Faith.

KEEP FAITH ALIVE, AND RECEIVE YOUR BLESSING!
