Topic: THE POWER OF PRIMITIVE FAITH

Text: Daniel 3:15-16

Many years ago, a message was preached and it was called the Primitive Christianity. It was a faith teaching that was committed to our fathers. However, down the lines, we were diluting it, until the level we are right now. The primitive Christian faith tells us that God cannot be modernized.

The men of old, they lived in the realm that modern day christianity does not understand.
(Matthew 17:19-20)
There's an urgent cry for Christians to change their attitude towards prayers. Many of us believers have not followed Jesus to the upper room. Jesus spent long nights in the upper room in prayer, we christians are yet to do that.
Jesus received temptation to the point of exhaustion. However, we Christians when faced with such challenges, good our hands and fall into temptation.
Jesus sweat blood on the mountain of gethesamane, while we just sleep during vigils.
The people in primitive faith, believe everything they have is for God.
There's no where in the Bible that says you should pay tithe, offering or first fruit offering. However, your believe sets you apart. If you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly.

Jesus insisted that:

1. Faith must be risky.
2. Prayers must be persistent.
3. Did not put up with unholy trespassers

There's a kind of faith that refuse to back down. It's around the scripture. This kind of faith is rewarded, celebrated and expected in the scripture. There's no where in the Bible to accept what the devil gives us.

Prayer
Anointing to terrify my enemies, fall upon me in the name of Jesus.

The God of Elijah has zero tolerance to the devil against harassing any MFM member.
The enemies will win a few battles but cannot win the war. We are allowed to attack, restrain and refuse evil to fall upon us. Heroes are honoured for taking a stand. They don't back down.
We serve a warrior God. We cannot pray and stop just like that. We need holy stubborness, violent desperation, bold faith, non compromising faith.
Faith that does not get his hands dirty does not respriduce any fruit.
That stubborn faith is persistent, desperate, that sees nothing is beyond your ability, cannot be derailed by our world - Primitive Faith.

Primitive Faith implies:

1. It moves mountains.
2. It deaf to doubt
3. Knows nothing but success in view.

Why many cannot experience the primitive faith?
They have entertained the faith killers.

Examples of faith killers

1. Thoughts of failure
2. Meditation of the magnitude of the problem
3. Focusing on difficulties instead of solutions.
4. Bowing down to discouragement.
5. Forgetting God's benefits.
6. Listening to syndrome
7. Trying to see before you believing.
8. Trying other solutions after prayer
9. References to former failures
10. References to failure of others
11. Give up
12. Thoughts of suicide
13. Giving in to anxiety and worry
14. Listening to the message of unbelief
15. Negative confessions
16. Listening to the sign of failures
17. Moving by sight
18. Living in an unknow sin.

Way out

1. You must concentrate
2. Pray like you have never prayed before.

Prayer Points

1. Where is the Lord God of Elijah, make me your battle axe, in the name of Jesus.
2. I move from glory to glory, from favour to favour, from strength to strength by the power in blood of Jesus.
3. Powers speaking demotion into my life, die, in the name of Jesus.
4. Powers using my glory to shine, you're a liar, die, in the name of Jesus.
5. Powers to terrify my enemies, I am available, fall upon me now, in the name of Jesus.
