As I was Confessing James 5:16, the Holy Spirit directed me to do a series he called the: Book of Prayers of the New Covenant Church, the Body of Christ.

The Instruction to start at the beginning in the Book of Acts with the Prayer for Boldness. (Acts 4:23-31):

That outline he showed me was as follows:
1. Raise Your Voice to God. (Verse 24)
2. Speak His Word. (Verse 25)
3. Talk to God about What's Going on in Your Life. (Verse 27) This Reveals and Shows Your Dependence on Him.
4. Ask God to do what he pre-determined to do. (Verse 28)
5. Ask God to Demonstrate His Power and to Speak through You. (Verse 29)
6. Ask God to Extend His Hand and Demonstrate His Power. (Verse 30)
7. Do all in the Name of Jesus. (Verse 30)

The Result: you being filled with the Holy Spirit Speak the Word of God with Boldness and God Manifested His Answer.

Praying in the Name of Jesus is praying in His Authority, Empowered by God to Do His Works and See Him Work in and through Your Life.

Background
Peter and John had been arrested because of the blind man being the demonstration that Jesus was alive. The chief priest and the Sadducees had them arrested "being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. Acts ‭4:2-4‬

And on the next day, the rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set Peter and John in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?” Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,

“Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts ‭4:5-12‬

The Name of Jesus Forbidden

They determined to severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.” So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done. For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed. Acts ‭4:13-22‬

Prayer for Boldness

23 – and being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

1. Raise Your Voice to God. (Verse 24)
24 – So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,

2. Speak His Word. (Verse 25)
25 – who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:
‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things?
This Reveals and Shows Your Dependence on Him.
26 – the kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the LORD and against His Christ.’

3. Talk to God about What's Going on in Your Life. (Verse 27)
27 – "For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

4. Ask God to do what he pre-determined to do. (Verse 28)
28 – to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.

5. Ask God to Demonstrate His Power and to Speak through You. (Verse 29)
29 – Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,


6. Ask God to Extend His Hand and Demonstrate His Power. (Verse 30)
30 – by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

7. Do all in the Name of Jesus. (Verse 30)

31 – and when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Acts ‭4:23-31‬

The Result: you being filled with the Holy Spirit Speak the Word of God with Boldness and God Manifested His Answer.
