Dear Friend,
For a long time, I struggled with prayer, and it wasn’t because I didn’t believe in its power because I did. I think I struggled because I knew I wasn’t saying the right words. What’s fascinating is that I didn’t always feel this way; this was a new emergence and wasn’t something I was prepared for.
There comes a time in our walk with God when He will no longer allow us to throw words in the air, hoping they will land somewhere meaningful. We know this because we feel the shift. Our cries for help appear to go unnoticed and/or unanswered. And, unfortunately, no matter how much we cry and believe, we know something is missing if we are honest.
For the longest time, I must admit that I haven’t been seeing the breakthroughs I knew I should be seeing. And that was the hardest part—knowing that God had promised me things, yet feeling like those promises were being contested in the spirit realm.
I could sense it. Delays. Blockages. Resistance. This was demonic and unfair. Because no matter how hard I tried, natural circumstances weren’t keeping me stuck. There was something invisible stopping what belonged to me from manifesting. My spirit knew it.
And if I’m honest, I started questioning myself. Was I praying incorrectly? Was there something I was missing? Am I praying to the right God? What have I done for Him to turn His back on me?
In the past, I’ve heard people say, “Just talk to God like you're talking to a friend,” and while there is time and space for that, at this point in my life, I don’t need my friend to come through. I need the King and Judge to rule on my behalf. With this in mind, I started thinking about different prayers—primarily legal—where the correct language, proper petition, and strategic alignment with Kingdom laws matter.
With mature matters, we must use mature speech.
Long story short, I’ve been learning how to pray in a way that carries true Kingdom authority. Yes, I’ve taught you all about your authority and jurisdiction, but it’s not enough if you don’t know the correct words to say.
Anywho, one morning, on my way to the gym, I was listening to the Bible in desperation. That day, I wasn’t just listening to be encouraged—I was listening for strategy. Since strategy is my thing, and I’ve been teaching and learning about the Kingdom, I felt the need to return to Jesus’ parables, and that’s when it all clicked.
Every parable doubles as a Kingdom blueprint.
While I had heard and taught these stories on YouTube, I began seeing them differently. In essence, we know that Jesus wasn’t just teaching moral lessons but revealing how the Kingdom operates, right? I now understand that He also gave us divine strategies on how to pray for success, breakthroughs, and advancement.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
We have that part.
Then I thought: What if I built my prayers around these Kingdom blueprints?
Instead of praying blindly, what if I aligned my prayers with what Jesus already established? What if I used the laws of the Kingdom to ensure that my prayers weren’t just hopeful words but legally binding petitions in the courts of heaven?
When I got home, I started working through the New Testament, explicitly focusing on the places where Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God. From there, I began crafting Kingdom-aligned prayers, which were absent of emotional cries but filled with legal decrees based on the principles Jesus taught.
The difference was immediate.
Suddenly, I no longer felt like I was stumbling through prayer because I knew how to approach God’s throne confidently. For the first time in a long time, my prayers carried more weight (not volume) because they were rooted in Kingdom law and not just personal desire.
I had finally unlocked something—something that had been missing in my prayer life for years.
That’s why I started sharing Kingdom Prayers (under the Praying the Kingdom playlist) on my YouTube channel and sending the transcripts to my mailing list. I know I’m not the only one who has struggles with prayer. I know there are others who feel frustrated, stuck, or even defeated, and it’s not because God isn’t faithful but because spiritual battles are being fought over your promises.
And in battle, you don’t fight with emotions—you fight with legal authority.
I say this to say, part of my strategic plan for the next few weeks/months is to help others learn how to pray with Kingdom precision. So, if you’ve ever felt like your prayers weren’t working, pray along with me on YouTube and via email, and let’s build up our spiritual muscles together.
Let’s purpose not to trade sob stories anymore; instead, let's focus on trading results.
