Prayer Is a Conversation

Image
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. —Matthew 21:22 Prayer is a two-way conversation; it is our talking to God, and His talking to us. As a Christian, you have a heavenly Father who hears and answers prayer. Jesus said, “All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Every man or woman whose life has counted for the church and the Kingdom of God has been a person of prayer. You cannot afford to be too busy to pray. A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. Jesus Christ spent many hours in prayer. Sometimes He spent the night on a mountaintop in solitary communion with God the Father. If He felt that He had to pray, how much more do we need to pray!

Is prayer a gift from God or a duty to God, and does God only hear the prayers of believers?

Prayer is a gift from God’s hand and He’s given us the privilege of prayer because He loves us and wants our fellowship. Jesus said, “The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” (John 4:23). What a profound truth—to know that Almighty God desires our fellowship! The Christian life is a journey, and we need God’s strength and guidance along the way. He supplies direction through reading His Word and communicating with Him through prayer. God doesn’t leave us to our own resources! Prayer is part of the “everything we need” that God has given Christians. A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. A prayerless Christian is also a contradiction, because we should yearn for fellowship with the One who redeemed us. A young man once wrote, “I don’t see any reason to pray, God already knows what I want.” But if all we do is ask God for things, our prayers quickly become selfish and we begin to think of God as

GIVE YOURSELF TO PRAYER.

We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. – Acts 6:4-7 I never thought about how the early church prayed, until now. Once they were filled with the Holy Ghost in Acts 2, it is safe to say that the type of prayer that the early church gave themselves continuously to, was praying in the Spirit. Thus, we see why their ministry took off the way that it did. Praying in the Spirit had a great emphasis on what happened in the early church and it still does in today’s church. Both, the belie

One minute of prayer

This prayer will take about a minute! Pray sincerely and afterwards, those you send it to will pray for you! Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, bless me as I read this prayer. Specially bless the person who sent it to me. Open the spiritual doors in our life on this day. Save and release! Give us a double portion of your mind to take back all that the devil has stolen: I declare life in every situation dead and I thank you, father, because nothing is over until you have said it is over! Consequently, I prophetically declare in our lives and situations that ...  Our families are blessed;  Our health is blessed;  Our marriages are blessed;  Our finances are blessed;  Our business is blessed;  Our jobs are blessed;  Our children are blessed;  Our little children are blessed;  Our parents are blessed;  Our family members are blessed;  Our ministries are blessed;  Our decisions are blessed;  Our debts are paid and canceled;  The desires of our hearts are on the way accor
