How To Pray With The Bible - Religion Many Christians erroneously think praying with the Bible is holding the book and shouting i bind and i cast like they see in movies, no, there is more to it. Demons are not scared of the Bible as a book and their human agents even read it and can quote the verses very well. What scares the devil is your knowledge of the authority of Jesus Christ and how you can use it as revealed in the Bible.
Our God is the King of all kings, when you come before him in prayers, don't come before him nagging, come in a similar way you would approach an earthly king for a request.
How to pray with the Scriptures
Praying with the Bible involves praying with faith on the revelation of the scriptures.
You can follow these steps:
1. Have faith that all scriptures are inspired by God. (2 Tim 3:16).
2. Believe without doubt that heaven and earth will pass but the Word of God will never pass away (Matt 24:35).
3. Praise and thank him. (Phil 4:6-7)
4 Pray for his Kingdom to come and for his will to be done. (Matt 6:10)
5. Then present your petitions with his own Words and promises in the scripture. E.g in the court of law you will say in section 2 of subsection 1 of the constitution, the law says etc. So should you say, Father, you said in Matt 18:18, whatever i bound on earth is bound in heaven, hence i ask of thee...
6. Isaiah 41:21 says, present your case,” says the LORD. “Bring forth your strong reasons,” says the King of Jacob.
When you go before God in prayers, don't go whining and grumbling rather present your case before God and show him strong reasons in the scriptures, why it should be answered.
Examples of Cases and Strong reasons.
A. If you are newly married and you're having difficulties in financies pray this way,
Father, please grant me favour in my finances( case) remember your Word in Prov 18:22, He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.(strong reason)
B. If you are having miscarriages, rebellious children, spousal issues pray this way,
Father, please turn around my situation to be a blessing to me (case) for your Words say in Prov 10: 22: The blessing of the LORD, makes me rich and prosperous, and he adds no sorrow with it. (Strong reason). This marriage/child/pregnancy you have given me will make me prosper and i will never sorrow over it (case) because your Words are Yes and Amen -2 Cor 1:10 (strong reason)
C. If you are a tither and you notice the activity of a devorer in your financies, you can pray, thus:
Father, please rebuke the devourer sitting on my finances (case) for you the Lord of hosts have promised me centuries ago in Mal 3:11, that you will rebuke the devourer for my sake, So that he will not destroy the fruit of my ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for me in the field.(Strong reason). And I believe you because you are my God and you do not change-Mal 3:16 ( strong reason).
D. If you're seeking the gift/infilling/touch of the Holy Spirit you can say, Father, i seek earnestly for your free gift of the Holy Spirit(case) for you have told me in Luke 11:23,
If we then, though we are evil, know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will my Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"(Strong reason).
E. In times of pandemic like Covid-19, you can say, Father, please protect I and my family from this disease (case) for your Words say in Psalm 91: 5-6, I will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.(Strong reason).
F. For general requests.
Father please grant me this request (case) for your words say in John 15:7,
That if I abide in You, and Your words abide in me, I should ask whatever i wish, and it will be done for me.(Strong reason).
Good examples of people who used this method include Hezekiah who was saved from death when he presented his strong reason(2 Kings 20), Hannah used the let Your Kingdom come and let Your Will done scriptures even centuries before Jesus made in public as her strong reason( 1 Sam 1), The widow of Zarephath who lost her only son, got him back alive through the blessings of the Lord makes me prosper and adds no sorrow as her strong reason(1 Kings 17:17-24). Dorcas was raised back to life on the account of her generosity and alms giving as a strong reason( Acts 9:36-43).
P.s Praying with the scriptures works best for those who have given their life to Christ and by his Grace have died to the power of sin. If you're yet to be born again, please do so with utmost effect and enjoy the blessings in praying with the scriptures.

Do Homosexuals Have A Place In God's Kingdom?
Some believe that if homosexuals believe in Jesus, even if they still continue in the abominable lifestyle, they would go to heaven, but here is what Jesus had to say about that:
Revelation 21:8 (KJV)
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Revelation 21:27 (KJV)
"And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
So according to Jesus, all those that work abomination, shall not be able to enter into the Kingdom of God but have their place in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.
And homosexuality is an abomination in the sight of God:
Leviticus 18:22 (KJV)
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
So when Jesus spoke of the abominable or those that work abomination, it included the homosexuals, hence their place in not in heaven but in the lake of fire and brimstone if they don't repent.
Therefore it doesn't matter what the catholic Pope or anyone else says, because this was Jesus, the Master with the key to the Kingdom, speaking, and He said none of those who work such abomination shall be able to enter in God's Kingdom.
Therefore if you're a homosexual who believe that you can still make it into heaven even as a homosexual, you have been deceived. It's a lie from the pit of hell. No single homosexual would be allowed in there.
And it's not just homosexuals that wouldn't be allowed in there, but all workers of other abominations and iniquities. They must all repent from their evil works otherwise their part shall be in the lake of fire and brimstone.
That's why you must repent from such an abominable lifestyle if you want to have a place in God's kingdom, because otherwise, there's no way you'd be able to do so.
And importantly, don't believe the lie being spread by the devil and his children that you were born that way and you can't leave the lifestyle, because many have been able to repent such an abominable lifestyle in the past to prove that it's possible to change.
All you just need to do, is to make the decision to change that lifestyle, and sincerely ask God to help you to achieve change. And I believe He would, just as He had helped many come out of it, because nothing pleases God more than seeing a sinner make the decision to repent and turn from His wicked way. Hence there's rejoicing in heaven over a sinner who repents!
Luke 15:10
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
So when you do that which you are able to do, which is to make that decision to change, God is ever willing to help you do the rest.
God bless.
