“Pray without ceasing” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Praying is coming into contact with the Living Christ. You cannot pray effectively without understanding the attitudes and mind of God about His priorities.
Jesus wants to guide your prayer life if you give Him the freedom. He will take you where He wants to go not where you want to go.
Prayer is listening and responding to God. Be still and let God orchestrate your prayer life.
Prayer begins with God.
God has several objectives in prayer.
He wants you to come to Jesus asking for His blood to cover you, forgive all your sins and restore you to Himself.
He wants to teach you the values of Christ and purify your motives.
He wants to convict and correct you.
He wants you to reach out to Jesus for your every need and walk by faith believing in His promises. He wants you to have a lifestyle built on faith.
He wants to heal your emotions and physical infirmities. Ask by faith and receive.
He wants you to make intercession for His purposes. This is allowing the Holy Spirit to bring the names of people or topics that are on His mind. God doesn’t need any help from you. Let Him set the agenda.
He wants you to pray with the power of the Holy Spirit to bring down strongholds.
He wants to speak prophesy to you about the future and make personal promises to you. He is omniscient and operates without a timeline.
He wants you to pray and bind the power of Satan from having any influence in your life.
Prayer is the most important work you will ever do for God. We want to accrue bonus points working for God but He wants you to do His work through prayer laboring for His purposes.
Prayer brings wisdom, order and joy into your day.
Prayer equips you to be a powerful witness for Jesus.
Prayer is a conversation with God which has no boundaries.
Jesus takes the garbage in your life and makes it good!
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 We all have made mistakes in life and at times have been consumed with compulsive behaviors and impure motives. The good news is Jesus has wiped the slate…
Hearing the voice of Jesus!
“But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:16 God created His people to hear His voice. If you are a believer Jesus has given you the mind of Christ. How can a believer do the will of Jesus without His guidance? The Bible instructs believers to inquire of the Lord in all our…
