Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the message of prayer encouragement at such a time as this. The title of my message is: " WHAT IS PRAYER?".
Prayer is a reverent petition made to God. It is an act of communion with God such as in devotion, confession, praise, or thanksgiving. Prayer is talking with God. Jesus always encouraged His disciples to pray without ceasing and not to faint.( Luke 18:1) Prayer is a weapon of spiritual warfare.
The Bible in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 says, " The world is unprincipled. It's dog- eat- dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way - never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God - tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity." ( MSG)
So in other words the weapons of our warfare for prayer are not carnal, but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds and any arguments fighting against the will of God.
This means that nothing can stand or remain before the power of prayer. Prayer demolishes and destroys all evil altars and demonic forces of darkness, militating against yout life. Prayer restores lost hope and confidence.
Prayer penetrates invisible places to unlock and release breakthroughs in our lives. Prayer is the key that unlocks known and unknown doors, both in the physical and spiritual spheres.The scripture also says, " When a believing person prays, great things happen. (James 5:16 NCV)
Who are these believing persons? It is you and me who are being referred to in this scripture. You can pray for your family, children, marriage, relationship, business, health, neighbors, communities, country and all leadership, in Government and Churches. ( 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Mark 16:15-18).
Once again prayer is our direct line with heaven. Prayer is a communication process that allows us to talk to God!
He wants us to communicate with Him, like a person- to - person phone call. Cell phones and other devices have become a necessity to some people in today's society.
We have Bluetooth devices, blackberries, and talking computers! These are means of communication that allow two or more people to interact, discuss, and respond to one another.
To many people, prayer seems complicated, but it is simply talking to God.
Praying is like talking to your best friend! It's easy to talk to someone when you know they love you unconditionally! This is the same with God.
The Bible also says, " Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder. ( Romans 12:12). Let us emulate Jesus's habit of prayer, who always prayed all the time.( Luke 1:35-37)
When I stop praying, the " coincidences" stop happening!( William Temple).
Use this lockdown period to launch deeper into prayer for a "Big Catch". ( Luke 5:4).
Whatever you desire or need, use your knees productively, you will not regret or be disappointed. Pray without ceasing! ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17).
Nothing is bigger than praye! PRAY! DON'T PLAY!
May God richly bless you all!
