Our communication with God should always be continuous, never ceasing. Scripture tells us to keep our minds on things above and not things beneath, a very hard discipline for those who are self motivated and Self Esteemed. It’s time to look at eternal realities and not temporal problem, it’s time to give ourselves to eternal solutions and not temporal fixes.
Time in prayer that never ceases is first and foremost a discipline of attitude in which immediately before choosing to resolve the day to day onslaughts of the adversary in your own strength or the worlds false solutions or give in to worry you turn your mind and heart heavenward, enter the Throne Room of Grace and discuss the matters of life and intercession with God Your Father and Mine.
To turn your heart and mind heavenward as a Babe in Christ will be as a child communicating with their parent and for the most part your prayers will be selfish. Or if you’ve been a Church member for years but one whose growth in Christ has been stunted by lukewarm teachings and Church traditions as the Deeper Truths of Gods Word has escaped both of you will do well to heed this encouragement. Faith which moves God to answered prayer only comes from hearing the Word of God. Hearing denotes full understanding and full understanding means the important issues of what God has Promised in His Word is known by you and more so unwaveringly accepted as the True Solutions to life’s daily issues. This level of growth has infused you with the Divine Nature the Power of God within and the most intimate place of constant communication with the Father.
2Pe 1:3-4 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Prayers greatest benefit is showing respect, reverence and honor to our Father. It will cause increase in our Faith, enthusiasm to know more of the Word and help us reach the appointed time of the Father to be received as a son or daughter. At this level of growth you will be fully armored, discussing the weightier matters of Gods Kingdom with Him and prepared to fight the adversary and overcome Satan at every stage of the spiritual battle. Prayer enlivens and moves the heavenly angels to move on your behalf and in this level of maturity your motives are always the furtherance of Gods Kingdom, which is Gods Will for your life.
