Surpassing Grace for Prevailing Prayer

 The prayer that will move God must be based on faith, intensity and righteousness. 

James 5: 13-16

Introduction
Prevailing prayer is not by power or by  human devise. It is the grace of God helping us to reach out to the throne of God and find favour for fruitfulness. However, what moves God in our prayers is asking in line with His Word and standard. In the above text, the Qualities of Prevailing Prayer include:
Faith
Intensity
Righteousness

Faith:- The invisible God can only be reached through faith especially while praying. To pray in faith is approaching the throne of grace with confidence and assurance that whatever you ask from God is settled. The Bible says, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16. Know what God says about what you desire from Him and settle in your heart that you already have it. God's promises are made known in the Bible. He sometimes reveals in any medium He chose to use in communicating His will. Elijah knew the mind of God concerning the corruption and wickedness in the government of the day. He went to the wicked King and declare the closure of heaven for three and a half years. With the same conviction, he unlock the shut heaven.
Intensity:- "The word "fervent" means to have intense feeling and enthusiasm for something." You don't just go into prayer as a routine or ritual. You have to be passionate about what you are requesting from God. This passion is beyond fleshly appetite but bone out of the burden and concern for your need. In the Gospel according to Matthew, when Jesus saw the depression expressed on the faces of His audience he was moved to address it. Matt 9:36-38: "36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest." Matthew 9: 36-38
Righteousness:- Believing in God's promises and offering fervent prayer is good. However, if you lack God's righteousness, your prayer won't availeth much. Our Lord commanded us to "Seek God's kingdom and all His righteousness. All these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33. Apostle James emphasis in his book is practical Christianity. In order to prove your spirituality, you must demonstrate high moral standard. If you have bad character but gallant in prayer, you can only impress men and not God. No spiritual gifts can take the place of righteousness before God. If you harbour wickedness, anger,  pride, immorality, rebelion, oppression of the poor in your heart, you are just a sounding gong in God's presence.
Conclusion
The prayer that will move God must be based on faith, intensity and righteousness. This is righteousness through Christ and Christ alone. Get connected to Jesus Christ by confessing your short comings and be ready to forsake them. As you do so you will find favour in the sight of God in Jesus name.
