Devotional 121 - Season 7 - Praying the Promises of God. 1
Just a note: Psalm 127 is a Psalm of Solomon
Praying the word of is very instructional; we cannot know the mind of God if we do not know His word, but when we know God through His word, it sharpens our prayers.
In 2 Samuel 7, God answers David's prayer, as it were, to build for God a temple to bring honor to His name with a resounding no.
Then God reminds David what He has already done for David, how blessed David is, and promises to David his descendants will be blessed.
What is David's response? David prays:
He worships God, confesses his (David's) smallness, and thanks God.
David then intercedes, praying for what God has just promised him!
"Now therefore, O LORD God, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant and his house, confirm it forever, and do as Thou hast spoken, 26 that Thy name may be magnified forever, by saying, 'The LORD of hosts is God over Israel'; and may the house of Thy servant David be established before Thee." 2 Samuel 7:25
Our So What is found in two passages:
"For Thou, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, hast made a revelation to Thy servant, saying, 'I will build you a house'; therefore Thy servant has found courage to pray this prayer to Thee." 2 Samuel 7:27
And
"And I say to you, ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you." 10 "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it shall be opened."
Luke 11:9-10
Know the word of God, listen to the Holy Spirit, and pray what He has promised.
Brethren, let us pray for one another to overcome the weakness of the flesh through prayer.
