A word of Wisdom: Lord, Teach us to Pray

A word of Wisdom:

Lord, Teach us to Pray


Luke 11:1 KJV

Lord, teach us to pray


How do we pray in power and mighty wonders be done in answer to our prayers? 


Matthew 18:3-4 KJV

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

[4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


We need to first offer ourselves as learners and ask our Lord to teach us to pray.

We need to come to Him as little children, as sheeps, meek and lowly in heart.

It is only through Himself that we can be taught directly through hearing His voice, how to pray in power and mighty wonders be done in answer to our prayers.


How else can we learn to pray from our Lord except we hear His voice leading us and teaching us every moment of our life? 


John 5:19 KJV

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.


John 12:49-50 KJV

For I have not spoken of myself; 

but the Father which sent me, 

he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 

[50] And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.


We need to live our life in like manner as our Lord Jesus, hearing His voice every moment of our life, 


Whatsoever we pray therefore, even as the Lord said unto us, so we pray.

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
