Kingdom-Word Ministries - Audio Messages

All prayers are prayers of faith, if they are genuine and effective prayers. There are however many things that appear like prayer but genuine faith is lacking therein. This series is about praying prayers that are effective and which accomplishes much, according to James. You will learn about those unbelieving prayers that must be avoided, about heartfelt prayer and persistence in prayer.

The Lord is good. Pastor Bankie teaches that the prayer of faith is triggered by the entrance of the Word, not by copying others, impressing people, or challenging God. Faith is obedience to God’s word—so when you hear prophetic words, stories, or songs, you are called to act, confess, and pray in line with God’s will.

The prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. Pastor Bankie teaches that genuine prayer is more than prayer-like activity or show; it is speaking to God in accordance with His revealed will. Faith prayer shapes how we pray, and the longer we remain in the place of prayer, the more we are corrected.

Every promise of God must be activated. The teaching reminded us that God’s promises don’t come automatically; we must meet the requirements and allow His “yoke” of constraint to shape our character. As refuge in the Lord Jesus Christ, we confess we are blessed, and we prepare faithfully for where God is taking us—especially through obedience to His Word.

Whatever it is that God wants to achieve, there is a character requirement for the manifestation of it. Pastor Bankie calls believers to “magnify God” in every aspect of life, making room for God’s glory. He urges us to reject bitterness and grumbling, and to stop justifying what needs correction, because God holds us responsible for refusing His remedy.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name, give glory. Pastor Bankie teaches that we should pray and seek God’s direction before acting, so our motives are for God’s glory, not personal gain. Like David, victory and resources must be dedicated to the Lord, and obedience must not be treated lightly.

It is very possible to be wrong in your sincerity. Pastor Bankie teaches that troubles can be met by praying to the Lord, asking, “Teach me what I do not see,” and humbly recognizing God may be correcting hidden iniquity. As God reveals and brings discipline, He is also faithful to give relief.

Old age is not a disease. Pastor Bankie urges believers to attend to God’s words, inclining their ears and keeping Scripture in the heart so it becomes life and health. He teaches that healing flows from Christ—through the resurrection power—and is experienced by meditating and obeying what the Word says.

We must learn to call the name of the Lord all the time. The message stresses that the name of the Lord reflects His love, power, redemption, and dominion, so troubles must not become magnified. As faith is provoked, believers are urged to speak more about Him than about pain, rejecting affliction and trusting His will for total health.

Old age is not a disease. Pastor Bankie urges Christians to stop using age as an excuse and to plant constant spiritual seeds from God’s Word—especially faith in God constantly—through daily obedience, confession, and a life of thanksgiving. The goal is health and vitality that steadily grows, not weakness that merely “happens.”
