Moving From Prayers Of Petitions To Prayers Of Power!

To Prayers Of Worship Abiding In His Presence To Prayers Of Power, Declaration, And Prophesy. Prayer Earth To Heaven, Prayer Heaven To Heaven, Prayer From Heaven To Earth

Most often we remain in prayers of petition a prayer from Earth to Heaven (about self need) - 

But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John., (Luk 1:13)
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, (Eph 6:18)

A prayer that touches God's heart as King David prayed and was called "a man after God's own heart"... a prayer from Heaven to Heaven (about delighting in His presence, worshiping Him, glorifying Him, honoring Him)  

"After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, 'I HAVE FOUND DAVID the son of Jesse, A MAN AFTER MY HEART, who will do all My will.' (Act 13:22)

So David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly; and David said, "Blessed are You, O LORD God of Israel our father, forever and ever. "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. "Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. "Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name. 
(1Ch 29:10-13) Psalm 145 and so many more...

A prayer that shakes heaven and earth is a prayer from Heaven to Earth (prayers of power, declaration, and prophesy directed by God/The Holy Spirit as one is possessed by Him not our prayers but His through us... not witchcraft (for self gain) but miracles and prophecies) - 

Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers into his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva; and looking up to heaven with a deep sigh, He *said to him, "Ephphatha!" that is, "Be opened!" And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly. (Mar 7:33-35)
And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them. (Luk 4:39) He *said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. (Mat 8:26)
And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. (Luk 9:1-2) And it happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed afflicted with recurrent fever and dysentery; and Paul went in to see him and after he had prayed, he laid his hands on him and healed him. (Act 28:8)

It is time for a people of prayer to rise up beyond petition, through earth to heaven, heaven to heaven, and become a people of prayer from heaven to earth. This comes through much prayer and fasting... beyond petition to practicing His presence as King David "a man after His own heart"... Food For Thought. Be very blessed. Pastor Dan
