God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day not for lack of grace but as a productivity principle. Do you want to leave a mark in your time, which can't be erased, then work more than you play? Work is not punishment!
You can't effectively pray if you are ignorant of the will of God. Prayer is not all about talking to God as taught, but alignment with God for the birthing of His will on earth as it is in heaven.
1 John 5:14
We don't have a shortage of people who pray (as a ritual) but those who understand the will of God. ’Prayer is a ritual if God is going North and we are going East. ’ For prayer to be prayer, there must be a common union.
(Communion).
If you want your way through prayers, it ceases to be prayers. Prayer is a surrender to the will of God. That's why effective prayer is only possible when we say like Jesus,” Not as I will, but your will be done.”
When the church in a nation is operating out of God's will, prayers can be made for the nation, and nothing will change, but things may worsen. The first call to prayers is repentance for proper alignment with God.
When God conquers us, then we can truly pray. God conquered Jacob before he received the power to prevail with God and humans. Prayer at that level is God and us on the same page on a matter. Oh, for men and women of prayer!
Words can express prayer, but prayer must transcend words. It must become the reality of the state of our inner man. That is when the inner man prays continuously whether an individual is walking, talking, working or sleeping.
God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day not for lack of grace but as a productivity principle. Do you want to leave a mark in your time, which can't be erased, then work more than you play? Work is not punishment!
