Prayer – God’s Partners

Yesterday we prayed. I could stop there because what I felt defies all description. Beyond the vigor of the personal prayer life, one cannot underestimate the importance of a group that prays together and knows how to pray. There is an exponential multiplication of the power released. I say it, and I will always repeat it, a major difficulty facing the church today is the insufficiency of prayer and the lack of men and women of prayer. It thus gives free rein to the devil to accomplish his plans and offers him little resistance; while God is looking for wombs to give birth to His promises on earth.

My meeting having ended late, I arrived at the prayer twenty minutes late. Entering discreetly into the room, for once, I sat down and prayed quietly, to listen to what was happening. It was good. In barely twenty minutes, they were already for the most part totally absorbed in their prayer. GOD The Holy Spirit, excellent Master of the orchestra, led everything. He gave a word in tongues with interpretation, which gave direction to the prayer. One of the joys of prayer is when God says 'this is what I want to do, now ask me and call it into existence'. It is glorious. Corresponding biblical passage in support, with prophetic exhortation, we declared and prophesied the heart of God.

Presence of God, freedom, fluidity. I was happy, more than happy, to see and listen to each other pray. The change, the transformation, the path traveled, the progress made in a short time, enough to celebrate the Holy Spirit. He is definitely Master, He knows how to do everything. He will take those who are well disposed, and He will shape them. He will take the one who did not dare to open his mouth and make him an intercessor, He will take the one who is still in the beginnings of faith and He will transform him and make him a giant. Why? Because He finds him well disposed, because he is there, because he obeys Him.

This is one of the reasons why no one can be despised. Everyone has the opportunity to place themselves in the Master's hands. Some will accept it, others will not; the choice is theirs. But those who do will see that the reward is worth it. This is also one of the reasons why there is no excuse for mediocrity, because God is no respecter of persons. This noble task of prayer requires neither a higher degree nor extraordinary qualifications; simply the heart of a servant, submission, humility, and good faith. Otherwise, how can Christians of one year pray for three hours without tiring, while long-time Christians struggle to pray for thirty minutes?

To pray according to God's heart is to choose to see beyond purely personal needs, but to see and make one's own God's desires for his generation, and to engage in prayer to see those desires fulfilled. These become partners with God and in doing so see their own lives and needs met. But I have a motto and it is this, 'If God did nothing more for me, what He has already done is more than enough.' So my commitment is in no way conditioned by any response to a personal need; for with what He has already done for me, His credit is inexhaustible. He can ask anything of me, and I would do anything for Him. I am forever in His debt, and that is very good.

My friends, let us pray!
