Sermon 007: The Power and Purpose of True Prayer

Prayer is the sacred medium of communication with God, the Creator. The LORD GOD desires that you pray and talk to Him. Through prayer, you strengthen your relationship with Him by sharing your thoughts, concerns, and feelings. The Creator is near to all who call upon Him in truth and sincerity.

God, the Almighty, longs to be close to you and to hear your prayers. However, He will only listen if you approach Him in a manner that honors Him. When you pray, you must do so with humility, respect, and a repentant heart. Be cautious, for actions or attitudes contrary to His will can distance you from Him and cause Him to disregard your prayers. Remember, faith is essential in prayer: “Without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”

Here is an important commandment: pray ONLY to the LORD GOD, the Creator, through Jesus Christ. You must approach God as His child, using the name that saves and protects you—the name of Jesus Christ, which you received when you became born again. Why? Because God is Spirit, and He dwells among us!

When you neglect to communicate with God, you cannot please Him. Prayer is your lifeline to the Creator, JEHOVAH. Unlike humans, God does not pray. Even Jesus of Nazareth, during His time on earth, prayed and taught His disciples how and to whom they should pray. Jesus no longer prays for you; His time for prayer ended on earth. Instead, He instructs you to pray directly to His Father.

Religious traditions have built their practices on praying to Jesus, which Jesus Himself did not endorse. He explicitly said, “In that day, you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now, you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.”

  1. May 1 – Second Day of the Wind of Change End of Month Gathering
    The Wind of Expectation & Kingdom Alignment
    Today, as we stand in the second day of the Wind of Change End of Month Gathering and step into this new month of May, the Spirit of the Lord releases The Wind of Expectation. Wherever you are, be alert and ready, because this is a prophetic moment. God is moving, and your expectation will determine your encounter. This is not an ordinary day—it is a continuation of a divine visitation.
    Yesterday, on the first day of the gathering, the servant of God, Apostle Reuben Habaasa, the vision bearer of the Wind of Change mandate, released a powerful revelation on the Kingdom of God: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” This was not just a teaching—it was a divine alignment. The Lord is calling His people back to priority, to focus, and to righteousness, because everything you have been pursuing will begin to pursue you when the Kingdom becomes your foundation.
    As he prophetically declared into this month of May, this is the month to attract God’s miracles. What people have waited for, prayed for, and believed for—this is the appointed time to receive. The Lord is releasing long-awaited answers, visible breakthroughs, and undeniable testimonies. This is not a month of delay; it is a month of manifestation.
    Today’s wind is activating expectation based on Kingdom alignment. When you seek God first, you position yourself for supernatural addition. As you enter this day with faith, expect miracles to locate you. Expect divine intervention in situations that seemed impossible. Expect sudden answers and divine surprises that will confirm that God has remembered you.
    Do not come casually into this moment. Engage your spirit. Lift your faith. Align your heart. Whether you are present physically or connected from wherever you are, the same power is reaching you. This is your time. This is your moment. The Wind of Change is blowing, and it is carrying your answers.
    Step into May with bold expectation and Kingdom focus. As you seek Him first, everything else will be added. What you have waited for is no longer far—it is here.
    From Apostle Reuben Habaasa, the prophet messenger of the Most High God in this generation and vision bearer of the Wind of Change mandate.
