Be assured that your prayer does release God’s power!
I believe there are many reading this, who feel as though you have come up against a wall.
And perhaps you can identify with this today:
- Something has been hindering your progress, or that of an issue, person or group you care deeply about
Hear your Father say, “I am turning frustration into faith!”
I am empowering you to pray like never before.
How Your Prayer is Releasing God’s Power
Angels are Waiting to be Employed
This reminds me of a prophetic dream in which I saw two angels, lounging against a wall.
Their arms were folded and they were leaning against the wall in such a way that suggested they were bored, and had nothing to do!
In that moment, I was asleep, but the Holy Spirit was using a dream to open my eyes.
- The reason the angels were “unemployed” was that they were waiting for God to give them a command
- And my Father was waiting for me to pray, before He would issue that command
Sees a Switch Taking Place!
“This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name” (Matt 6:9, NIV)
“Our Father!”
“My Father!”
Jesus teaches us to begin our prayer by addressing our Father.
And then—before we go into our personal needs or requests—to pray, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matt 6:9, NIV)
It is an expression of our heartfelt desire, but more than that: it is a proclamation.
A declaration.
See it right now— a switch is taking place!
That issue you are praying about, is no longer earth-bound.
God’s Kingdom is located there.
Active there.
At work there.
Know that Prayer Precedes Power!
The manifestation of God’s Kingdom is power!
The Apostle Paul said this:
“For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.” (1 Cor 4:20, KJVS)
Your prayer is more than words—it is God’s power being released, as you partner with Him.
See by faith, God’s Kingdom at work in your situation as you pray.
And where God’s Kingdom is at work, His power is being released.
That Wall is Coming Down
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matt 19:26)
And I believe that is His word to us today.
See the switch.
You are declaring God’s Kingdom, His rulership, over that circumstance. Over your life. Over that person. That ministry. That location.
Have Faith that God’s Power is Not out of Reach!
See Jesus, loaves and fishes in hand, looking up, simply giving thanks to His Father (Luke 9:6).
- Power-releasing prayer is not out of your reach
- The prayer Jesus demonstrates is uncomplicated
Before He raises Lazarus from the dead, Jesus looks up, and prays:
“Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” (John 11:41-42, NIV)
Then, Jesus calls in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
Know that Something has Shifted
This is for you! This is your inheritance and the legacy you pass on: Be assured that as you pray in Jesus’ Name, something has shifted.
God’s power is being released. The Holy Spirit is moving.
Angels are at work.
And that wall is about to come down.
Let’s pray together now:
“Our Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of your name be the center on which our lives turn. Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven.” (Matt 6:9-10, TPT)

Thanks for your prophetic word you’ve really touched my heart ipray financial breakthrough for your son’s wedding pray for my also that I may have money to build a house for my family be blessed
Thank you Helen. I always had been reading your blog but today I have a little courage to write.
Today I met my girlfriend’s male friend who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and prayed for him. Actually before I saw him I had been praying for him. I was concerned what if I pray for healing he doesn’t get better. I decided to forget about it and prayed for him laying hands onto him.
After that moment, I realised praying for the sick is not signs and wonders but also it is act of God’s love. By prayer, people will encounter God’s presence and how much he loves and care for them.
As Jesus said with only a mustard seed of faith we can move a mountain. I want to continue pressing onto Jesus for healing.
Your message is good encouragement for me to pray even though I can’t see instant result.
Amen powerful, the word came just on time as I’m facing challenges and I believe the the is now the walls are falling. I declare and decree a progressive wedding, everything shall be in shape, a well blessed wedding.
Dear Helen, thank you for this word, it was so on time and the power of it has changed many things… I saw myself within the word and the situations Ive been in for a little while. It was the end of a season and the thought of laying things down that I loved so much was daunting, but when the Lord asks you to let go and trust in Him where else is there to go but into His will… I felt as if I had made a mistake, I wanted the change now, but now became 6 months of change to bring me to a place of releasing those things glady, and waiting for the new season to begin… ALL I could see for those months was what looked like dead wood, there was no growth in my life not that I could see, but on the inside things were beginning to change, and I began to welcome this season as a time to rest, after years of being so busy Id forgotten how to take time for myself, to simply sit and not speak but allow the Holy Spirit to work within me, to bring those new shoots as he watered me with the word, and with His love and truths… The Lords prayer is so precious, Id brought out many facets of it during the groups I had taken in the past, and then lost sight of it…. how wonderful to take a look at it again and see the fullness of it once more, every facet of it is precious, powerful and holds keys that unlock many doors… I have been praying this last week or so very differently, something has changed as I am beginning to recognise the inner workings of the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me into His ways and not my own… strike the ground with the rod of your mouth, is a scripture that I was given years ago, I was reminded of it again this week… its the power of God in us as we release the truth of His word in prayer, as we slam into the ground those words of truth that the enemy cannot uproot, that dig themselves into the soil of the truth as we pray according to scripture… I have so many more paintings to paint.. I feel alive again… so thank you so much Helen, the prophetic art is so vibrant and very different to anything Ive done before,…… with blessings to you Heather Wales UK
Amen, Glory To Jesus Christ.
Thank you very much Helen. God bless you abundantly.
Thanks so much Hellen, may God bless you abundantly. Am so much blessed with this encouragement. I feel strong, I believe my faith is going to make me grow like you and for God to turn things around for good for me .
