by Pastor Roy Esposito

Ephesians 1:17-18 (Passion)
Luke 11: 5-13
Hebrews 4:16 (Passion)

James 5:16b
Effective Prayer – is a prayer that possesses the strength to bind the “Strongman”
Strength – given by God to all that ask.
Fervent – to display passion and intensity; (Syn) = Blazing -> Glowing -> Torrid

A “Visio Divina” – a blazing hot fireball of Faith, filled with divine power directed at a problem!

Romans 12:3 – We each have been given a measure of faith.
Hebrews 11:1 – a substance that can be applied to a problem.
Romans 3:21-22 – made righteous b/c of the Christ within.
1 Corinthians 3:16 – Temples of God

Temple (Greek) – Naos – Holy of Holies

John 7:38 – “innermost being” – (Greek) – Kolia – Womb – from which flows fountains of living water.

Revelation 22:1 – Water flowing continuously from the Throne and the Lamb.

Effective Prayer – Opens the spigot for the Water of Life to flow out.
Trusting Faith – The viaduct through which it’s dispersed.

Psalm 115:16 – Co-laboring aspect for prayer to be effective.

Ezekiel 47:1-12 – Ankles – Knees – Waist – SWIM!!!

Each angelic measurement is symbolic of another MEASURE of Faith being layered in. -PR

Ezk 47:9

Valley – dry and waterless areas of life.
Sea = People
2 Rivers – Co-labor

Ephesians 3:20-21 – “according to the power that works IN us – the Church -“

“Exceedingly, Abundantly” – (Greek) – Huperperisis – add more to abundant!
Romans 5:20

Matthew 7:7 – “Ask, Seek, Knock”
Ephesians 3:20 (Wuest Translation) – “… in the measure of power which is operative in us.”

Measure – (Greek) Kata – not only the amount of power but also the dispersion and distribution of that power.

Faith – requires ACTION
Distribution – is an ACTION.
