Prayer:
I have been thinking about prayer lately. I have done may of the things mentioned so this not a spear throwing rant but a deep thinking processing time. I wonder sometimes if we take a wordly view of prayer. We cry out to God and use the name of Jesus sometimes walking away fruitless. We remind God of His word thinking maybe that is the key. We have done the whole prophetic worship going all night crying out for God to move. Many times leaving unchanged in ourselves.
We know that in the Old Testament and New Testament there are many promises of God regarding prayer. We take it as a if we do this HE will do that. This is a legalistic/Immature view of God. We take the parts of the bible that fit the moment or our view and individually we are unchanged.
We start our prayer talking like we are trying to get His attention and we ramble on until we feel we have done our part.
What would happen if we walked into our prayer closet and just sat waiting on Him?
What would happen if after He told us His agenda we only prayed that?
What would happen if the concept of prayer was us being changed and not about getting God to change something?
What would happen if prayer was about us humbling ourselves and letting faith grow in us so we can believe?
What if our prayer for revival was more about us believing who God says we are and less about a sovereign move of God expecting it to change us?
May God help us to pray so that we would know HIM!!!!
