“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint”
Luke 18:1 (KJV)
Prayer is a communication between God and man. Prayer is earthly license for heavenly interference in man’s affairs. Without God, man cannot do anything in the earth, and without man, God will not do anything in the earth. God wants to communicate with you, and He speaks mainly through prayer, His Word and by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “In that day you will not [need to] ask Me about anything. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name [as My representative], He will give you. Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete” John 16:23-24 (AMP). You have the right to the Father just like our Lord Jesus. Ask the Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus. Everything will respond to you the same way they would respond to Jesus. The divine order is to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus.
Prayer is a necessity, not an option. God’s desire is for you to have your requests granted, so your joy may be full. Through prayer, you are able to effect godly changes in the earth realm. You enforce the will of God in the earth realm through prayer and the Word of God. When our Lord Jesus was functioning in the earth, prayer was a priority. He would wake up very early everyday to pray (Mark 1:35) and had amazing results. When His disciples noticed His results from prayer, they made a demand on Him to teach them how to pray and He did.
PRAYER/CONFESSION
Dear Father, I take grace to remain in consistent communication with you in spirit and in truth in the name of the Lord Jesus.
