DEVELOPING A STRONG, SOLID
AND CONSISTENT PRAYER LIFE: Part 1
**********************************************************************************************************************************
Blessings of His Light, Love, Mercies, Grace, and Favor upon You!
Hello Family, we last studied on the Fundamentals of Prayer by the example of Jesus in Matthew, Chapter 6, Verses 5-18.
We will be working on how to have a Strong, Solid,
and Consistent Prayer Life.
In First Thessalonians, 5:17, Apostle Paul tells us to "Pray without Ceasing." We must be Praying All the Time. As Believers and Followers of Christ Jesus,
we have to have a Prayer Life.
What is a Prayer Life?
A Prayer Life is a Discipled and Direct Method of Connecting with Father, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit on Purpose/Intention for a Specific Outcome or Effect.
James 5:13-16, states, "Is any among you you afflicted? let him Pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them Pray over him, Anointing him with Oil in the Name of the Lord. And the PRAYER OF FAITH shall Save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and Pray One for Another that Ye May Be Healed. The Effectual Fervent Prayer of a Righteous Man Availeth Much."
With a Strong, Solid, and Consistent Prayer Life, we are able to pray and get results according to the Word of God through Christ Jesus. We are able to Move God by Praying His Word of Promises for All Areas of our lives and for others too.
Prayer is a Spiritual Muscle, and we as Believers must learn how to use this Power Gift, Develop It, and Maintain It on a Daily Basis. When we do not use our physical muscles, they become flabby or weak. The same when we do not use our Spiritual Muscle of Praying. We become flabby and weak in the Spirit, and a prime candidate for satan to really come after us. Jesus told us that there will be trials, tests, and tribulations in this world, but for us to be of GOOD CHEER (Gospel of John 16:33).
How could Jesus have this type of confidence? He was constantly in communication with Father through Prayer. He knew Father's Plan for All of Humanity. He was willing to die for Father's Plan and give us Salvation and Deliverance. There were moments where it was real tough for Jesus, but He would go away and Pray. Jesus had a Strong, Solid, and Consistent Prayer Life, so when things were tough, He knew how to connect with ABBA, and stay on point with a Strong, Solid, and Consistent Prayer Life.
Part One in a Strong, Solid, and Consistent Prayer Life is to have a SET TIME AND PLACE TO PRAY. Of Course, one is able to pray anytime and anywhere; what we are speaking of here is a Sacred Prayer Time.
A Sacred Prayer Time needs a Set Time and Set Place for Transcending, Supernatural Communication with Father, God to take place. We learn of this type of prayer through Moses, Jesus and others in the Bible. Moses met with God and talked with God on Mt. Sinai; we learn of Moses' experience through Exodus, Chapters 3-19. We learn of Jesus' Praying Experiences all through the through the Gospels.
They had a Set Time and a Set Place where they went and communicated with ABBA to transcend time and space, and to hear from God with Specific Instructions on how to carry things out for God's Purpose and Glory.
We are to follow the Pattern of Jesus. We study the Fundamentals of Prayer, and now we follow the Actions of Jesus. Jesus had a Set Time and Set Place of Prayer, we too need to have a Set Time and Set Place of Prayer. Daniel stated that he was going to pray, Morning, Noon, and Night (Daniel 9:1-23). You can have Your Set Time in the Morning or Evening (Psalm 55:17 and Psalm 88:13).
How to Set Up Your Sacred Prayer Time and Place:
1. Ask the Holy Spirit for Guidance.
2. Are you a morning person, evening person, or night person? When is the
Best Quiet Time for You and Your Schedule where you will not be interrupted for
at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Make Your Sacred Place nice, cozy, and inviting space for the Holy Spirit.
4. If you like music, have some good Christian/Gospel Music playing softly in the background, set the atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to come on in and usher in the Presence of God.
5. Have Your Bible Present.
6. Relax Yourself and Your Breathing, Clear Yourself Out,
Be Still and Know that He is God, Psalm 46:10
7. Begin to Pray.
