The Essence Of Prayer

Text: 1 Timothy 2:1
" I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men."

We have learned that there are 2 things that typify the glory of God which are the weight and the wealth of God and we unraveled that the weight of God translates to the power of God and this the believer accesses in the place of prayers, for it is in the place of prayers we get to make determinations in the realm of the spirit. Praying has to become something you desire to do, it becomes a communion time between you and the Spirit of God especially when it begins to inspire certain gifting of the Spirit. These spiritual gifting are necessary for us to identify spiritual things.

The bible in Romans 8:26 identifies a problem we have as humans. It is either we do not know what to pray for or we don’t know how to pray for what we should pray for. So whenever we begin to engage in prayers, especially praying in the language of the Spirit, the Spirit of God begins to lead us in the direction of praying rightly in accordance with the will of God. This is of utmost importance because we know through scriptures in 1 John 5:14 that it is when we pray according to the will of God that He hears and if He has heard, surely He will answer.

Any God child that will fulfill the purpose of God for the church in these last days must persevere in the place of prayers. You don’t stop until you get answers. Daniel had to pray for 21 days before he received his answers even though God released them since the day he set out in his heart to pray but it took 21 days for them to manifest. It therefore means that until the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, we will keep on praying.
