17. Prayer in the spirit, which is speaking in tongues (1 Cor 14:14-15), is very
powerful as the basic spirit of a Christian can not sin and therefore the prayer will
be perfect. This also provides rest to those under the Law when they hear it (Isaiah
28:11-12).

18. Whilst being aware that a Christian is always already forgiven of everything as
long as he is remains one, it is good to confess specifically when prompted by the
Holy Ghost (1 John 1:9).

19. Approach the subject by reference to binding and loosing in the name of Jesus
(Mat 18:18-19).

20. Be aware of the fact that the default for a Christian is that everything prayed
and believed for will be received (Mat 21:22, John 14:13, 15:7, 16, 16:23-24).
This principle applies to faith in general, in that faith appropriates irrespective of
who believes (Mark 11:23) and is the mechanism through which God interacts
with all men for the purpose of Salvation (1 Cor 12:7, 11). This default is
obviously subject to the prime principle as this principle is the primary determinant
of anybody's faith for anything, not just Christians (1 Cor 12:7, 11).

21. Remember that faith to receive a small thing will appropriate the necessary
faith to receive a large thing, faith is faith (Mat 25:23, Luke 16:10).

22. Any prayer said in the name of Jesus Christ, no matter how bad, can not have a
bad answer as the prayer is given over to Christ (John 14:14, 2 Cor 2:10-11).

23. As we have Christ within us (John 14:16-17) we can do ‘greater’ things than
even He did (John 14:12). “The works that I do” refers to the present tense of the
finite time and limited scope of Jesus’ ministry on Earth before his death and
resurrection (Psalm 77:13, 1 John 4:4). John 14:12 refers to the empowerment of
the Holy Ghost at Pentecost, requiring the prior Ascension, and thereafter (Luke
24:49). More especially it refers to the greater process of salvation called Charity
(1 Cor 13:13).

24. A loving impulse for a result produces the faith to receive it and removes fear
(Gal 5:6, 1 John 4:18).

25. We have instant access to God (Eph 3:12).

26. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil 4:13).
