There are different kinds of prayer and there are different rules for each kind. There is the prayer of dedication, the prayer of thanksgiving and praise, the prayer of intercession, the prayer of petition.
Don't get the rules for the prayer of dedication and worship mixed up with the prayer of petition. When you do, you get the thing shorted out and it won't work.
Rightly divide the Word of Truth; search out these rules and apply them correctly. Then your prayers will move heaven and earth in your behalf.
In fact, we read in the Word of God in Philippians 2:9,10, John 16:23, and Mark 16:17,18 that Jesus has been highly exalted and has been given a name above every name and He has given that name to us to control the force of evil.
The authority of this earth has been given to man. We have authority in prayer by the words of our mouths to bind evil forces—the powers of darkness—and render them harmless and ineffective against us. We do not need more power; we just need to apply the spiritual laws that God has given us.
Jesus said, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:24).
