Of Prayer

Even if you don't feel like anything is happening in the natural world, when you pray, you are filling the prayer bowls in the spirit realm.

When they are full, they will tilt and pour out answers to your prayers! The people at the water park who wearied of waiting for the buckets to fill missed an outpouring. The same is true in prayer. However, it's not about works trying to make something happen , it's about diligence. The word "earnest" describes something serious in intention, purpose, or effort.

It can also mean sincerely zealous, meaning it is active, devoted, and diligent, while at the same time being free of hypocrisy or deceit. This kind of prayer is genuine and real. It's not about how many words are prayed or the manner in which we pray, as long as our prayers are heartfelt, faith-filled, and authentic. The earth needs saints to be fervent in prayer. God would not have destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah if there had been even 10 righteous people calling out to Him for deliverance. The same is still true today if God's people will pray.

He is ready to tilt the prayer bowl on this generation! So be encouraged in your prayer life—the golden bowls are being filled and the fire of heaven is about to fall! God has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life.

It is prayer that is truly God-seeking and Kingdom-focused. Regarding a deepening of prayer, there is very good news. A deeper level of joy and intimacy with Christ are not out of reach for any believer.

While believers certainly do not have to do all five steps each day, God will surely bless sincere efforts to seek Him more fully. Prayerfully consider five practical covenants for a God-seeking, Kingdom- focused Covenant to embrace a God-seeking, Kingdom-focused prayer life rather than brief devotions that leaves out key essentials. Just adding a couple of elements will make a huge difference James 5: Covenant with God to more fully yield our hearts in deeper daily cleansing, repentance and surrender. Studies leave no doubt that most believers are stopping short of the type of daily yielding that brings full New Testament power.

Covenant with God to pray regularly and effectively for specific lost people, church plants, missions and strategic people groups. It is impossible to have a Kingdom-focused prayer life without effective intercession for the critical Kingdom issues. The primary purpose of prayer is not to change circumstances; the primary purpose of prayer is to change us! But either way, the chief objective remains the same: Their three-year-old son, Eli, was playing by himself in his room when Tricia became concerned because it was too quiet.

When she walked into his room, Eli was nowhere to be seen. It had been pushed beneath his second-story bedroom window, and the window screen was conspicuously missing. Eli was medevaced to the hospital, where he fought for his life in the ICU for three weeks. He miraculously survived, but not without significant brain damage. He has virtually no peripheral vision on his right side, and the left side of his body has very little motor skills or muscle development.

Eli speaks with a severe stutter and walks with a pronounced limp.

John and Tricia have thanked God countless times for saving their son, but their prayers for complete healing have gone unanswered. In the aftermath of the accident, John dueled with doubt. Why did my little boy fall from that window? In John 9, Jesus encountered a man who was born blind, and the people falsely assumed it was the result of sin.
