Ephesians 6:18(KJV)
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
From the Scripture above, it has been established that prayer must be a ceaseless and continual process and not an occasional practice. Apostle Paul admonishes us to pray in the Spirit at all times. We pray in the Spirit with confidence, knowing that our persistent and alert communication with the Omnipotent Creator of the universe will result in tangible outcomes for us. Jude 1:20 says, “But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.” The Spirit lives inside us and empowers our prayers, interceding directly to the heart of God and enabling our prayers to have powerful results! Prayer is a manifestation of contemplation on the ramifications of one’s belief system. This practice enhances its profundity, value, and relevance. Prayer should be directed towards specific objectives and conducted with purposeful intention. Colossians 4:2 also says, “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” The importance of prayer to believers cannot be over-emphasized. Prayer is a two-way communication between the believer and our Father in Heaven, the Almighty God. That is, prayer is not a religious activity, but it is that fellowship with the Lord where we talk to and with Him. The blessings of prayer investment are undeniable.
Demonstrating our daily dependence on God through prayer is essential. It is critical to note that praying in the Spirit plays a vital role in our quest to access more of God’s Glory. It is a ladder we can climb to enter into God’s Presence. The more we pray in the Spirit, the more of His Presence we will encounter, leading us into more of His Glory. Prayer is the sure answer and the ultimate solution to all problems and challenges of life. It is a mighty weapon for Christians to dislodge any satanic power. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says: “Pray without ceasing.” Believers in Christ must always pray. Luke 18:1 says, “….men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” Prayer imparts the power to walk and not faint. Children of God have no excuse for operating a prayer-less life because prayer lifts the Hand of God, but prayerlessness encourages the devil to continue with his destruction. So, pray without ceasing both in the Spirit and understanding. James 4:2 says, “…..yet ye have not, because ye ask not.” Through prayer, believers can receive all their needs. When we pray according to God’s Will, we have committed His integrity to answer us. Esther and her people prayed, and the demonic plan of Haman backfired on him, and he died a very shameful death. From the Scriptures, we discover that the Apostles were constantly in prayer and responded to the threats of the people with prayers. It was at the hour of prayer that Peter and John encountered a crippled man who was lame from his mother’s womb. When we pray, supernatural power is released to counter every affliction.
Beloved, pray naturally and constantly as you breathe, for prayer is the soul’s breath. The ear of God is always open. Prayer is very significant; your progress in your spiritual life depends on your prayer life, amongst other things. Pray endlessly in the Spirit, and your life will be advanced to enjoy ever-increasing glory. Today, make demands on God-ordained benefits for your life and attack the needs and wants of life at the place of prayer. As you continue in prayer, the Good Shepherd will direct your path and keep you in His Mercy, Strength, and Love. From today, as you pray endlessly in the Spirit, God will answer you speedily in Jesus’ Name. Remember, prayer gives you a permanent stand with God and makes you anointed beyond measure.
O LORD, I ask for the grace to prevail with You at the place of prayer in Jesus’ Name.
