May these prayer points be a springboard to a lifelong journey of intercession and a faith filled life, experiencing the loving kindness and the miracle-working power of God.

What are Prayer Points?

A prayer point is taking a Bible principle, promise, statement, hymn, poem or affirmation, and then believe it, ask God for it and speak it into existence in your life.

For example, 1 Samuel 17:47 states:

All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands

If you use this verse to be your prayer point, you can pray or declare something like this:

The Lord is at my side

He is my mighty Hero

My battles are not mine

My struggles are not mine

My problems are not mine

I declare that through Him, the battle is already won

In Jesus Name

Amen!

Using affirmative prayer points is crucial, because you speak life into your spirit, body and soul. This is extremely powerful. It will change your life.

The Power of I AM

Did you know that these two words - I AM - have the power to either destroy or empower your life? Words are powerful weapons. You can use them for good or evil.

When you say "I AM", you are telling the Universe to give you anything that follows those two words. You are actually creating a movement. You are speaking something into existence.

Say "I AM Broke", and that is how you'll stay.
Say "I AM So Old", and wrinkles comes looking for you.

The "I AM's" that comes out of your mouth will bring either success or failure. Do you want more success and well-being in your life? Start speaking positive words into existence and you'll reeducate and condition yourself to attract wealth, honor, holiness, health, happiness and prosperity.

Here is a list of powerful I AM affirmations that could be used as prayer points. And here is a video of Joel Osteen talking more about the power of the words "I AM".
