Never Stop

Never Stop -  Sixty Seven

     One thing that the child of God must never do is stop praying.  Paul tells in 1 Thess 5, to pray without ceasing.  This is both an attitude and an action.  When you are praying you are communicating with your heavenly Father.  You are one with the creator of the universe.  The promise is also that if you pray in Jesus’ name that whatever you ask in prayer you will have it.  Praying people are heavenly people.  It has been said that you cannot truly be a Christian without prayer.  The giants of the Christian faith have always been people of prayer. 

     Jesus was the greatest example of prayer.  When you study the life of Christ, He went from one place of prayer to another place of prayer and in between He did miracles.  Jesus prayed because He wanted to bring the affairs of heaven into everyday life.  His whole goal in life was to do the will of the Father.  Is that your goal?  You will never know the will of the Father without being a person of prayer.  Prayer is the conveyor belt that brings God`s blessing into your life.  You will never completely do the will of God without being a consistent and persistent prayer warrior.  Notice the word, “warrior.”  You are warring in the heavenlies with prayer. 

     What should we be praying for?  The salvation of our families and friends.  This should be our top priority.  This is what salvation and redemption is all about.  Jesus Christ came for the salvation of the lost.  It was Jesus’ priority and it should be ours.  So many times our prayer times are about us and little about others.  Flip this around and you will see more blessings in your life than you ever dreamed possible.  Get with the plan of God and see His blessings flow.  It is your right and responsibility to pray.  Pray with ceasing.  Pray in accordance with God’s will and word.  The Bible contains 212 written prayers.  Each one can be a blue print for your next prayer time.  The issue is not how you pray though but that you pray.  Ask God and He will show and then get about the masters business, doing the masters will and like Jesus you will go from one place of prayer to another and in between you will do and see miracles.
