Prayer is not a religious activity, but spiritual intercourse with God in heart travail for the birthing of his Kingdom and his will on earth as it is in heaven. Such prayers can not go unanswered! For instance, Hannah needed a Child and God needed a prophet. Hannah knowing the desire of heaven, she requested for a male child she would dedicate to serve God all the days of his life. She had the right sense of judgement to connect her need for a child to heaven's need for a prophet. Since God needed a prophet, He was obliged to respond to Hannah's request for a child.
Prayer is identifying with heaven's need on earth and positioning ourselves for the birthing of heaven's will. The answer to our prayers will always come along with our own needs interwoven in the broader plan of God. That's why we are to seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added into us.
Sadly, prayer for self-aggrandizement is what many do today; it leaves individuals totally out of touch with reality. May God convert us in our hearts to seek his Kingdom and will on earth as it is in heaven. All our needs are connected to heaven's needs on earth.
If heaven's need per time in a city or ministry is the finance for the expansion of the Kingdom, when we realize that and attach our need for a financial breakthrough to the vision of God from a genuine heart, no matter how long it takes one day, we will have more than enough finance because heaven knows we will use it for His Kingdom. It is time to be connected to the heart of God in travail for His Kingdom and His will on earth.
One of the greatest pains of heaven at the moment is that many who are chanting his praises in Church are completely out of touch with what burdens his heart. In fact, many are seeking their interest using God as a means and not the interest of God. This situation has created a lot of disorder and delay in most of what heaven is interested in doing.
God is looking for people today whose meat is the coming of His Kingdom, and His will be done on earth. No force of hell can stop such breed of believers. Oh God! God; raise the Hannah's of this generation to participate in the birthing of your will on earth as it is in heaven.
