The Power of Your Prayer Life

I write this with urgency in my heart. We are living in a time where we must be vigilant and alert. We cannot allow the distractions of life to come along and dull our hearing, causing us to be immune to a chaotic lifestyle.  I admonish you, whatever you have to do to get back to God again, do so.  If the distraction is social media, break away from it. If it’s television, turn it off. If it’s the phone, get off of it. Whatever it takes to get back into the real Presence of God to hear His voice, do it. He desires to talk to you.

We must take a stand against a casual prayer life, against nonchalant attitudes of just a church-goer. We must embrace that God is for us, and He has given us the tools to defeat the enemy of depression, doubt, defeat, worry, fear, and any other obstacle we may be facing. You see, it is the goal of the enemy to get us busy so we can be too tired to pray, so that we can become too drained to hear God.  The enemy desires to wear us out with things that are good, but not God.  

Romans 13:11 tells us to wake up out of our sleep.  This is a critical hour; we have no time to play around as if Jesus Christ is not coming. Meanwhile, while we are waiting on His return, there’s work for us to do. We must get back to prayer.

Prayer is the communication between you and God. It is not a monologue; it is a dialogue. Not only does God welcome you to talk to Him, but He also desires to talk to you. We should not leave the praying to the elders and pastors of the church; we all must pray.  The enemy is after your mouth; he’s after your confession.  Your prayer life is important to God, and He wants to talk to you. The enemy knows this Truth, so he works hard to distract us from praying.

Not only must we take a stand against a casual prayer life, but we also must confront laziness. We must intentionally carve out daily meaningful quality time with our Father. We all have family and life responsibilities, but God is there to give us instructions on how to handle those things by His wisdom.

Let’s get back to prayer. Let’s set our prayer times daily; let’s be an active part of our church intercessory prayer gatherings. It’s time for the people of God to speak what Heaven is saying so Heaven can release it in the earth realm.
