Pray always

“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up” Luke 18:1 (NIV)

In all that you do, pray always. This is an instruction from our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. If there is one thing you must not give up doing, it is praying. Jesus lived His earthly life in prayer and instructed us to do the same. The only thing you will not obtain in this world is the thing for which you are not willing to pray. The only way the power of darkness can prevail against you is if you give up in prayer.  Prayer brings the impartation of the power and the Spirit of God. Prayer brings revelation of secret and hidden things. Prayer brings the power of God into the realm of men.

“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime” Daniel 6:10.

“Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” James 5:17-18

Anything or anyone that try to stop you from praying is trying to stop your destiny. Daniel was brilliant, hardworking but he outlived three kings and kingdoms, and lived as God among men because he prayed always. No matter how comfortable or prosperous you think you are, never downplay the power of prayer.  If you are still far from God’s purposes and plans for your life, prayer will take you there. Just like Elijah did, you can close and open doors using the power of prayer.

May you live in prayer as Jesus did in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: I refuse to give up in prayer in Jesus name.
