TOPIC: KEY TO PERSISTENT PRAYER

SCRIPTURE: Pray without ceasing. – 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Worship creates the atmosphere of Divine Presence

From our anchor scripture, we can see that God’s will for us is to pray on a ceaseless basis. God wants us to live a ceaseless prayer life. Hence, the instruction for us to pray without ceasing in the anchor scripture. That is to say, God wants us to pray as we breathe.

Now, what is the key that enhances a persistent prayer life?

It is worship and praying in the Spirit!

Worship creates the atmosphere of Divine presence. Anything that creates the atmosphere of Divine presence is a fuel for prayer. Whatever makes you feel the Presence of God is a fuel for prayer.

At creation, God never said a Word until the Spirit moved.Genesis 1:1-5.

There was a move of the Spirit and it was into that move He spoke. When there is a deep atmosphere of the Spirit and you pray in tongues, you can pray for up to 10 hours at a stretch and not be aware.  After a long time, you can add worship and continue in tongues. At such a time, the words you speak from your mouth are ignited by the Spirit and they will catch fire because you are speaking into the atmosphere of the Spirit. The Spirit ignites the Word and It becomes light.

Remember this: Worship creates the atmosphere of divine presence.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Practice midnight worship consistently

2. Pray in tongues for at least one hour daily.
