TOPIC: Back to Sender Prayers
FIRE SCRIPTURE
Psalm 35:1-9
MEMORY VERSE
1 Thessalonians 5:3 “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
OUTLINE
Satanic agents must be made to witness the demonstration of the raw power of God.
Sometime ago, a man who had just become insane was brought to one of our meetings. He was very violent. So, the prayer warriors prayed that the Lord should put him to sleep; and he slept off. His people carried him home, still sleeping. He slept for two days before he woke up.
The woman, with whom he had been sharing a shop in the market, came to the house and asked of him and was told that he was in. She did not believe it until she was led to his room, where she met him sitting up, hale and hearty. She said, “What did you do to him to make him normal?” They said, “Prayers in the name of Jesus.” She went home, and slept. When she woke up, she ran mad. There had been a reverse of activities. That is what we call ‘back to sender.’
Beloved, our prayers must be backed up with fire, so also should our Bible reading, and indeed all our other spiritual activities. Our prayers must be backed up with actions. Elijah was a powerful man of prayer. There is no Bible student who will dispute that. But after he had prayed, he backed up his prayers with actions. He challenged the prophets of Baal to a contest. Elijah was not the only prophet around that time.
There were others who were hiding in the caves and were fed with bread and water. They were silent, unknown and afraid. But Elijah, the troublemaker, came out, and even the king called him a troublemaker. He told the king that he and his father’s house were the troublers of Israel. Elijah gets 450 prophets of Baal, without any human authority questioning him for doing so. I pray that you will kill your prophet of Baal today, in Jesus’ name. Elijah was not a gentleman to the devil. He openly mocked the prophets of Baal. He knew that Baal had powers but just as he had locked up heaven and put its keys in his pocket, he locked up the powers of Baal. He knew that their powers would be rendered useless. So, he mocked and ridiculed them.
This is not the type of action a gentleman would do. You too cannot conduct yourself as a gentleman when confronted by the devil. You need to be radical and aggressive. You need to silence the enemy through the use of back to sender prayers today. Pray until the enemy is confounded and put to shame.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
Everyone has a divine allocation.
PROPHETIC WORD
You shall not die but live to declare the works of God.
HYMN- Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee.
Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blessed,
Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals, join the happy chorus, which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us, brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward in the triumph song of life.
