This one is vital to your growth as a believer in Jesus Christ. The more you know and understand him, the more confident you become in his love for you. And the more you know and understand who you are to him, the stronger your love for him. So also, will be your prayer and prayer life.
Knowledge is power because it feeds confidence to your spirit with assurance that you know what you are doing. Uncertainty in prayer is a weakness that negative spirits will exploit as a basis to obstruct your prayer. God’s help is more forth coming, and stronger when you are confidently making authoritative legal tenders to him in prayer. Because he’s not a weak God, he expects his children to approach the battles of life with the full faith and credit of their heritage. That means that you speak and act with the assurance of who you are and where you stand as a child of God. Recall that when the devil came to God about a man named, Job, he requested permission to disrupt Job’s peace and joy to the fullest. God was so sure of his servant, Job, that he had no hesitation granting the request. He was sure that Job will never waver in his trust in God. In the end, God restored to Job much more than the enemy had taken from him. Knowing who God is and who you are to him is a foundation cornerstone that will support and bring you out of any trouble, victorious. The book “Effective Prayers, prayers that move God’s heart”, has a lot more to say about this.
