Prayer Makes Things Happen

[0:00] Hallelujah. We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church.! No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny but the Word of God.! May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this Word.

[0:15] Church must be a place where God can be met. Not only a place for information, but a place for divine encounters and divine manifestations.

[0:30] I believe it. Church must be a place of prophetic manifestations. Church must be a place where you come and you feel God is in this place.

[0:48] God is real. God is real. I said God is real. God is spirit. Every divine intervention is preceded by prayer.

[1:04] One of the benefits of speaking in tongues is when you speak in tongues, it's like you have released something that will detonate. The Bible says, Unto one is given by the same Spirit.

[1:15] Word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discernment of spirit interpretation. 1 Corinthians chapter 12 from verse 7. And discernment of spirit interpretation of tongues. The first kind of tongues. Gift of healing.

[1:26] And it says that working of miracle to another working. There is a way you can work your testimonies. You can work your testimonies.

[1:37] There are things that people do to generate results from heaven. Any move of heaven is always tied to an action on earth.

[1:51] Did you hear that? So even when Jesus was about to be born, God needed a virgin on earth. He needed a virgin on earth and he needed somebody who was praying.

[2:02] And then the virgin must be engaged. So for heaven to do something on earth, it must be tied to something that somebody is doing on earth.

[2:17] So heaven moves on earth based on certain individuals on earth, what they are doing. Now, we saw in Acts chapter 10 from verse 2 and 3.

[2:31] How an angel came to Cornelius and he said, Cornelius, your prayers have been, verse 4, let's go verse 4. He said, your prayers and your arms have come up for a memorial.

[2:45] It's something on earth is having an influence in heaven. It's very interesting. He said, you are doing something on earth and it has staying before heaven.

[2:58] And then he says that, look at the next verse. Now, send to Joppa. Now, look, verse 30. Look at verse 30, quickly.

[3:09] Four days ago, I was praying and then an angel was standing before me. Verse 31. And the angel said, Cornelius, your prayers have been heard and your arms are in the sight of God.

[3:20] Verse 32. He said, send therefore to Joppa for people to call for Peter. He said, because your prayers have been heard, that's why I've showed up so you can send somebody.

[3:35] Amen. God appears to Ananias and then he said, Saul of Tarsus is praying. In a vision. In a vision. He's praying. In verse 12. Acts chapter 9.

[3:46] Verse 12. He's praying. And in a vision, he has seen. In a vision, he has seen a man called Ananias coming to the, so that he might receive his sight. But verse 11. Verse 11 says that.

[3:57] The Lord said, go. He's praying. The last day, he's praying. Prayer will open you up to visions. Prayer will open you up to divine interventions. If you want divine intervention, what should you do?

[4:09] Pray. If you want to encounter God in unusual ways, what should you do? Pray. If you want to see God at work in your life, what should you do? Pray. So prayer will open you up to the heavens.

[4:22] Elijah prayed. And it did not rain for three and a half years. And he prayed again. What? So he prayed. James 5.

[4:34] He was a man of like passions. And he prayed. And it did not rain for a space of three and a half years. And the Bible says that it did not rain on earth for three years and six months.

[4:48] Verse 18. He said, and he prayed. Say he prayed again. He prayed again. So what caused the drought was his prayer. And what caused the rainfall was his prayer.

[5:00] There's no human technology that can cause rainfall. But there's a spiritual prayer. Prayer is a spiritual technology more potent than AI, more potent than Google, or more potent than any smart gadget or gizmo.

[5:18] Prayer is a spiritual technology. And when you engage prayer, something happens from heaven and the impact is felt on earth. And then when you pray again, what happens?

[5:30] Something happens again. And what happens when you pray again? Something happens. Okay, so after something happens again, if you choose to pray again, what happens? Something happens again.

[5:40] Are you sure? Okay, what is after that? You choose to pray again. What will happen? Something happens. And then if you pray after something happens and happens again, what happens? So it implies that when you pray, something happens.

[5:52] When you pray, something happens. When you pray, something happens. So if you want something to happen, what do you do? Pray. It's as simple as that. Looks like when I pray, something's happening.

[6:03] Oh, wow. Okay. Now I got it. So I see a problem and I want something to happen. Somebody shout hallelujah.

[6:15] When you pray, something happens from heaven. He says in 1 Corinthians chapter 14 verse 2, he said, If any man, when a man prays, he who speaks in tongues, he that speaks in an unknown tongues does not speak unto men.

[6:36] But how many of us want to speak to God? Look at what that text is. You want to speak to God? He said when you pray in unknown tongues.

[6:49] Direct line. He who prays in unknown tongues does not speak unto men. He's not speaking to men. Speaks to God. For no man understanding. However, even though no one knows what is going on, including yourself.

[7:04] Sometimes you are sweating and you don't understand yourself. But you know something is happening. That's the difference between those who encounter God and those who only have Bible teachings.

[7:17] You can have Bible teachings that have actually not met the God behind the teachings. But when you meet God, it's like sometimes you can't explain it, but you can't deny it.

[7:30] In moments of divine encounters and divine visitation, you know something has changed. Oh yes. There's no text that can explain it.

[7:41] But you just know there's been a shift in the spirit. As I stand here, I know there are shiftings in the spirit. Even as people were shouting amen, I can tell.

[7:54] There are shiftings in the spirit. There are shiftings in the spirit. There are shiftings in the spirit.

[8:05] Jesus met the woman at the well. The Samaritan woman at the well. And they discussed water. And the Bible said that he sat near Jacob's well. And the Samaritan woman came to fetch water.

[8:18] And he said, give me. And the woman said, why are you asking me? He said, if you know who was asking me, then you ask me. And then back and forth, the verse 14. He said, then the woman said, then give me. The woman asked him, are you bigger than our father Jacob?

[8:31] Because they were standing by Jacob's well. Who gave her? Are you bigger than our father Jacob? Who gave us this well? They're standing by, you know. Because that's Jacob's well. So, in 1 Corinthians 14, verse 13.

[8:43] And verse 13 says that. Verse 14 is what I'm looking for. He said, if I pray in tongues, what happens? When I pray in tongues, my spirit prays. Tonight, you're going to engage your spirit.

[8:56] You are going to pray. If you don't speak in tongues, if you are born again, there's an atmosphere that is charged already. Pick your own and begin to bless. So, some of you are believing God to use you.

[9:08] You are believing God for an anointing. You want God to use you for revival. You want God to use you to change lives. You want God to use you to build a church. You want God to use you to pastor. You want God to anointing.

[9:19] You want God to visit you in your health, in your marriage. Whatever your heart is crying out for, find some way. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry. We pray you have been strengthened and enlightened.
