I am just going to say it! Let’s just go there! We have got to PRAY for ourselves, enough of relying on people to talk to OUR Father on our behalf.
It’s okay when people pray for us, but our personal prayers are the most effective and powerful. God wants to hear us speak to Him, He wants to be the One we pour our hearts to. We are His Beloved, dearly loved, greatly loved, very dear to His heart and He longs to hear our voice. * You are loved. Talk to HIM Now!
“Never Stop Praying” – 1 Thess 5:17 NLT
Prayer is not a legalistic ritual, it’s a lifestyle. Prayer is talking to God, getting in agreement with heaven. Prayer is cooperating with God to bring about His plan. Prayer moves the Hand that moves the world. Prayer is the confidence that we have in God, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. (1 John 5:14)
“Prayer moves the hand which moves the world.” J.A. Wallace
Our faith in our prayers have the trendmous power to move mountains. If we can’t have faith in our own prayers, how can we even believe that someone else’s prayers will be answered!
Are You A Friend of God?
Abraham was called a friend of GOD (James 2:23), because of his intimate relationship with God. Abraham was obedient and faithful to God. True friends who love one another have intimate conversation, they chitchat and visit with each other.
Direct Access to God 24/7
Prayer gives us direct access to Alpha and Omega, God Himself! We don’t have to go through anyone, I mean anyone, not even pastors!
“No man is greater than his prayer life.” – Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer with God is Private and Confidential.
God is a secret keeper, whatever we tell Him in confidence will never be heard by a third party, isn’t that wonderful?Prayer is intimacy with God. Whatever you tell God in secret will never be heard elsewhere! Your prayers with God are private and confidential. Friends, go ahead and pour your heart out.
The Best Part of Prayer
Now, this is the best and coolest part of prayer. Since it’s a conversation, it takes two people to be involved, it is not a monologue at all. When God talks back to us, it literally changes everything forever, that is the best moment ever! That moment God speaks back to us is when we get hooked forever.
So what are you waiting for? Fasten your seat belt and get ready for your life to be transformed.
Loved this post, truly God wants us to come to Him personally. It is encouraging when we know others are praying for us, but nothing really beats the fact that we also have direct access to this same Almighty God. Thanks for this post, very timely.
