Praying Through God's Word

By Benny Hinn

As God's people, we are commanded to "walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God" (Colossians 1:10). We are commanded to be filled with the knowledge of God, for it is knowledge of Him, His person, and His heart that must fill our being. And once His knowledge is in us, the glorious result will be a life of prayer.

Prayer will be as easy as breathing. It will be as natural to pray as it is to live. The knowledge of God is the key to that kind of life. Once His knowledge fills us, His Word will empower us, allowing us to pray effectively. And as we come to His throne room, we come filled with His faith and confidence: "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us. And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him" (1 John 5:14-15).

The Names & Character Of God

By Benny Hinn

As we read the Bible, we see many names that refer to God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God, the great “I AM” (Exodus 3:14), is referred to by many different names throughout the Bible, each with a specific meaning and application.

For example, they range from “Almighty God” (Genesis 17:1) to “the most High” (Psalm 91:9) to “The Lord of hosts” and “the Holy One of Israel” (Isaiah 54:5) to YAH or YAHWEH (Psalm 68:4).

The name of the Lord Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua, which means “YAHWEH saves.” And this is exactly what YAHWEH, the Lord God, did for us through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Throughout the pages of Scripture, we also see many other titles and names used for the Lord Jesus – from “the Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6) to “the bread of life” (John 6:48) to “the light of the world” (John 8:12) to “the good shepherd” (John 10:11).

The Fullness of Faith

By Benny Hinn

As the Holy Spirit begins to work in the depths of your soul, He strengthens you spiritually with spiritual strength and maturity that gives you an even greater level of faith and enables you to trust God for the impossible and believe Him for the invisible.

No matter what the obstacle, no matter what challenge you may face, you will say with the Psalmist: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).

That strength comes from deep within as the Holy Spirit brings fearless, and sometimes even violent faith to your life.
