Teach Us How To Pray Lesson One: Are You Ready? If Not, GET READY! (Proverbs 1, Jude 1)

Reference Scriptures: Hebrews 1 & 2, Ephesians 4 (talks about this ONEness and unity that we as believers should have, and what we as one body should be aiming for.) 2 Peter 2, Galatians 2:4, etc. I’ll also be mentioning various scriptures throughout this lesson within the video, so please adhere to these scriptures mentioned and write them down, and go back and read/study everything in its entirety.

I will also publish this in the training blog on the website at: www.teachushowtopray.com and you all can go back and study this lesson. Each lesson will be posted on the training blog, so go there and study each lesson, which will aid you in building up your most holy faith in GOD.

My duty as your teacher is to train, to supply you with nourishment, to promote the growth and development of the Word of GOD within you, to advance, to cultivate, to educate, to equip, to encourage, and to foster you in the Word of GOD and in the fullness of who HE is through training you in HIS WORD, Prayer,  Intercession, and Spiritual Warfare.(2 Timothy 2:24-26)

Your outcome as a student is to is to repent, confess your faults, intentions, and deeds unto the LORD with sincerity, pure motives, pure hearts,  and clean hands; truly turning back to GOD fully with HIM as YOUR 1st love, removing all idolatry, whatever and whoever you have placed as number one in your life and hearts and giving GOD the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the I AM that I AM back HIS rightful position in your life and heart and that’s placing HIM back as your HEAD, being the HEAD over your life, your will, and everything concerning you. And you willfully falling under subjection to HIS WORD and HIS WILL for your life; because HE is KING, MASTER, and LORD over you.  As a result of you surrendering you all will become secure, rooted and grounded in this our “Most Holy Faith” in our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST; knowing that beyond a shadow of a doubt that your Salvation is completely secure and locked in HIM, and when you willingly do these things you will become a mighty warrior for the LORD in these End Times.

Now stop and take a moment and gather your Sword of the Spirit (Bible-The WORD of GOD), your tablet/notebook/journal, and your prayer blanket and lets get settled and started, “All hearts and minds clear”...

Today I pose to you this question, which is also the title of this lesson. Are you ready? If Not, GET READY!

Lets turn to Proverbs 1

Here Wisdom is telling you the importance of how valuable she is to have and to adhere to daily in your life. Wisdom is a teacher and the one who imparts knowledge, and understanding. While journeying through life, this is what you need in your arsenal.

Turn to Jude 1, its right before Revelation.

Contend-to declare, profess, affirm, the establishment of the church, Acts 1 & Acts 2

Utterance-articulation, expression, formulation, phrasing, statement, verbalism, voice, wording

In this Book of Jude, it is telling you exactly with all certainty and simplicity what is currently happening in our lives in this world those who are of this world as well as those who stay away from the world and dwell in JESUS CHRIST.

This world is vicious and so are the people that are called to it, workers of satan. Open up your spiritual eyes, you can see it plainly but only those who are of and in Christ Jesus can see everything playing itself out.

Saints of GOD, I admonish you to stay rooted and grounded in the faith, work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12) Be blameless before the LORD. And its only HIM the only WISE GOD who choose those that are in HIM and presents them faultless before HIMSELF. I thank YOU JESUS for choosing me.

For all of those who willingly wants to surrender their own wills and wants to accept JESUS as their personal LORD and SAVIOR.  Know that this is personal, and everyone that wants Christ must have their own personal experience and encounter with HIM, you must invite HIM in, because HE is a gentleman, HE will not knock down the door, but HE will stand there gently knocking, so its up to you to receive HIM unto yourself.  For HE is standing at the door of your heart and knocking, open up and ask HIM to come in. Receive HIM.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and with sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20.

REPENT, turn from your wicked ways, turn back to GOD who is a jealous GOD and refuses to have anyone or anything before HIM. HE is number ONE and shall remain throughout eternality. Confess All your sins, ask GOD to forgive you of all of your sinful deeds, iniquities, vices, out right wickedness, filthiness, and offenses you’ve made towards HIM. You also forgive others their offenses towards you. Remove all idolatry, things or people that you have placed over GOD and your time with HIM. Choose HIM first everyday. Give HIM whats due HIM. Ask GOD to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. And let JESUS CHRIST the MESSIAH make you new. Repent and be baptized in the Name of JESUS. Ask GOD to fill you with HIS Holy Spirit and cause you to speak in other tongues, as the spirit gives you utterance, Acts 2:4. Do not turn away from the faith once you come into the knowledge of CHRIST, keep your hand on the plow, and don’t turn back.

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, it fit for the kingdom of GOD. Luke 9:62

To the Believers and Saints of GOD, Grace, and Peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of GOD and of JESUS our LORD . Saints of GOD,  I’m continually praying for us all. I encourage you all to faint not, and that your faith fail you not. Keep your armor fresh and be refreshed through the WORD of GOD. Keep pressing, keep pushing, and stand firm until the end. Do Not bend, do not buckle, and do not bow to no one or nothing. Endure unto the end. For great is your reward. Endure hardness as a good soldier. Stay rooted and grounded in the faith. Remain vigilant, watchful, and prayerful.

You therefore must endure hardness as a good soldier of JESUS CHRIST. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 2 Timothy 2:3-4

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:10-18

With Obedience,

Zawonnica Smith
