Prayer Before Receiving the Word

**Fenny West** Tue 24 Feb 2009, 2:13 pm

When you want to hear the news, you need to tune in to the right frequency, apart from having the right equipment that you need to receive the frequency. We too need to be well-prepared before we come before the Lord, if we are to hear from Him. He said 'My sheep hear my voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow.' We must learn to quieten the voice of our mind that may be wandering 'to and fro the earth,' the voice of the enemy that may want to intercept God's voice by causing distractions or the voices of people around us or what they may have said to us that may be replayed as we come before God.

This prayer is to help you to receive from God as you come to Him. Use it, modify it to suit your needs. God bless you.

Father, in the name of Jesus I come before you today, longing to hear Your sweet Voice. Speak Lord, your servant is listening!

Open my spiritual eyes to see and perceive; open and anoint my ears to hear and understand. Teach me, Lord, to water Your Word with my prayers and tears and wait in faith, in expectation, after doing my apart.

Holy Spirit, I call on You to come and birth revelation knowledge in my heart, as I meditate on Your Word. You have come to guide me into all truth, to take the gems of Jesus and reveal it to me. You are my Teacher, Comforter, Standby, Advocate, Anointing, Intercessor and Counselor. Come and pray through me, the mind of the Father. Pray the perfect will of the Father through me, O Lord.

Prune me to bear much fruit for You and for the extension of the Kingdom of God. You are the Lord of the Harvest. You know what I need to fulfill my vision and to bring great joy to you. So help me Lord. Amen
