Put The Wood In Order
 
And he put the wood in order...
1 Kings 18:33
 
"The wood" is another word for the Word of God. In Luke 23:31, Jesus said:
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

Here again, He was talking of Himself. He is the green tree, and it is established in John chapter 1, that He is also the Word of God.

So, the Word of God is the wood, and you can't start or sustain a fire without the Word.

The Bible says in Proverbs 26:20:
 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out...
 
So, it's not just enough to prepare the altar of your heart and gather the stones (as we learned yesterday), you must also lay the wood (the Scriptures you have located) in order.

You have to lay them out intelligibly to get God committed.

After locating the appropriate Scriptures, you say to Him, "Lord, because You said so and so in Your Word, I know You are committed to do this."
 
That is what I call Word calculus — calculating Scriptures in order to enforce a heavenly release.

My prayers are often very short and straight to the point, because I not only gather the stones, I make sure the "wood" is arranged in order.
 
So, laying the wood in order is one of the things that brings down the fire from heaven, to guarantee you a release on the earth.

I see the frustration of unanswered prayers come to an end in your life, in Jesus' mighty name.

Pour The Water
 
The Bible also says that Elijah told the people:
 
...Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
1 Kings 18:33-35
 
Water here also represents the Word of God.
 
...Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. Ephesians 5:25-26
 
The more faith Word you load into your prayer, the more you get out of it.

Most times when I approach God in prayers, I commit Him with as many Scriptures as possible.

There is this testimony I love so much. It is of a woman called Dodee Osteen, the wife of a great man of God, John Osteen.

She was sick with terminal cancer and given just few more days to live.

Many reputable men of God came from far and near to pray for her, but her condition didn't improve.

But one day, with the last strength in her, she picked up her Bible and located forty Scriptures that forbids her, as a child of God, from dying of cancer.

That was how she got off that sick bed, free from cancer and from death!
 
That can be likened to the multitude of waters in Ezekiel 31:3-4:

Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.

The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
 
As I earlier said, faith in God is your major access in prayer.

But it's a seed that must be nurtured with as much water of the Word as possible, if it must produce effectively.

So, when you get into the multitude of water level in the Word, you not only boost your faith, you also generate a flood against the enemy, which he can't resist.

Nothing can stand in the way of a flood. Everything gives way to it. There are fire fighters, but have you ever heard of flood fighters?

There are none, because you can't fight a flood; you simply get out of its way, otherwise it will carry you along.

When you enter the flood stage of the Word, you are on a frequency that cannot be resisted.
 
You don't have to remain stranded in life or give in to circumstances. All you need do is to committedly and whole-heartedly begin an adventure into the Word, to stop the harassment.

Go for tapes and books that will aid your study of the Word, until you generate a flood that will clear every opposition out of your way.

Hallelujah

A Sinner's Prayer for Salvation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, "...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10.

"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now.

I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian—a child of Almighty God! I am saved!

You also said in Your Word, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13).

I'm also asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4).

(Begin to praise God for filling you with the Holy Spirit. Speak those words and syllables you receive—not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit. You have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.)

Now you are a Spirit-filled believer. Continue with the blessing God has given you and pray in tongues each day. You'll never be the same!
