Just wanted to exhort everyone on the importance of prayer since we are a stubborn and obstinate people and need constant reminders to stay on track!
In hell God does not hear the cries of man despite their screams of torment for all eternity. In the land of the living. He hears the prayer of all ppl as soon as they on Him and answers.
When I was discussing this with my friend Judy K Jo she was saying how Heaven is WAITING for the people on the earth to PRAY so that it can send something DOWN!
In heaven we don't need to pray anymore cuz we'll be in the presence of God so the only time we can pray is when were STILL ALIVE.
What kills me is that we're so foolish that we dont take this grace of prayer seriously and pray so little. We looked at it as an obligation when its the EXACT opposite! Its actually a priviledge WE GET TO APPROACH THE GLORIOUS THRONE. We don't earn brownie points with God for praying!
The Christian life is impossible to live without prayer. Sadly many Christians do not live the life they are called to live simply because they were to prideful to ask for help to do it. Many times we focus on the things we need to do for God when we fail to recognize that things only get done through prayer.
We try to do this event and that thing for God with little or no prayer when all that really needs to happen is for God to BEAM down His power on ONE event and then an explosion would happen.
Jesus lived 30 years on earth before He started His ministry, was His life wasted?
NO
Because He moved in and with the Father
It says in His Word For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:28
Imagine we if we all lived and moved IN HIM every second of our lives! Every word we speak and every action we make.....
WOW things would get done
Prayer accomplishes this it clears up the connection between the vessel and the Potter the more you pray the more you live your life IN HIM and the more you naturally do what He wills and the more you are used.
