As usual we were at the Prayer meeting at Territorial Headquarters this morning. We were blessed as we shared fellowship with like minded believers to pray.
“When all the trimmings are peeled away, prayer must be seen basically as a relationship. It is our individual personal relationship with God the Father. The way for this to happen was provided by Jesus Christ on the Cross. He shed His blood for the remission of sin, the sin that separates us from God. Through Jesus, our sin is forgiven and our fellowship with God restored. Then, and only then, does prayer take its true form. We now love God because He first loved us and paid the price to bring us to Himself.
Prayer is the chief way we express our love to God and the chief way we receive God’s love for us. It is the most exquisite expression of our personal relationship.
If we can understand that through prayer our divine love affair with the Father is cultivated, we can more accurately assess the value of time in prayer. All we know about human love relationships tells us that clock time together is essential if the relationship is to grow.
Every day? If we feel we cannot schedule a daily time with God, we need to admit that our relationship with God is not one of our personal priorities. If this is true, spiritual disaster could be right around the corner.” Peter Wagner
Our spiritual relationship with God is cultivated and nurtured the very same way human relationship grow towards intimacy.
When we master prayer in the private place, we then go on to unite in prayer with others. Be challenged by Jesus’ example and don’t cheat yourself out of God’s strength and direction in your life and ministry.
