Pray Always
Praying always with all prayer and supplication
in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints
(Ephesians 6:18).
The Scripture above says, “Praying always…”;
that means you ought to be in constant
communication or fellowship with the Father. What
most people know about prayer is making requests;
that’s the lesser purpose for prayer. Prayer is primarily
fellowship with the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ,
through the power of the Holy Spirit; and it’s something
we’re called to do always, not occasionally.
Jesus said men ought always to pray and not to
faint (Luke 18:1). The Amplified Translation of our
opening scripture makes it clearer; it says, “Pray at
all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the
Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To
that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose
and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the
saints (God’s consecrated people).” That immediately
lets you know that prayer isn’t just about asking
God for things; prayer is a continual “intelligence”
communication.
When you pray, you’re connected to “spiritual
intelligence,” such that you’re aware of the happenings
around you; you’re not in the dark as to what steps
to take, or where to go. “Intelligence information”
is constantly being given to you, such that you’re
informed, enlightened, and guided by divine wisdom
at all times; you’re never confused.
In the place of prayer, you receive impartations,
ministrations, visions, and guidance from the Holy
Spirit! There’s also the conditioning of your spirit to
hear and respond to God correctly; a synchronization
of your passions and emotions with His perfect will.
These are part of what makes prayer exciting for us.
I send out prayer posts for our fifteen minutes global
prayer sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays;
through our social media platforms. Participate seriously
in this endeavour, and watch your life grow.
God has given you the dominion and the authority
to alter the course of events in the earth. It’s your
responsibility, not His, to see to it that circumstances
in your life, your family and in the lives of those around
you are framed to conform to God’s perfect will; you
can achieve this through prayer.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege of prayer.
I pray for new converts all around the world,that they
be strengthened with might by your Spirit in their inner man.
I declare that God’s Word of righteousness, healing,
prosperity, deliverance and blessings is producing results
in them, forming in them the character and mind of Christ,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
