The Passion For Prayer
















S.E.E.D. For Today_Prayer

 Scripture "Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices. He said to them, "The scriptures declare, "My Temple will be a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves." Luke 19:45-46 NLT

 After Jesus enters The temple area, He overturns the tables of the money changers, saying; "It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers. He calls the Temple His house, he regarded it as His. The idea of the Temple being a house of prayer seemed not to have entered anybody's mind. The Temple had lost its meaning. Jesus showed the importance of prayer.  There should be individual and corporate prayer, intercessory prayer ("Peter was in prison but the church was earnestly praying to God for him." Acts 12:5), standing in the gap in prayer as Moses had many times for Israel. The design of the Temple and the sacred items in it showed the Temple was erected around prayer. The blood sacrifice of the altar, the basin for clean consciences to pray, the table to fellowship with the Lord, the lampstand to illuminate and the altar of incense, it smell passed through the curtain. The problem was not the sacrificial material made available it was how it was done.

Example Having a conversation with God or intercourse of the soul with God. Prayer is preaching to ourselves in God's hearing, for our instruction and improvement.

Exercise Prayer is an audience with God, we have lost the meaning of the House of Prayer. Read Luke 19:45-48 What is your prayer life like. Do you come out to prayer service? We need a passion for prayer. Can you give your life in prayer?

Devotion Lord produce the desire in us to Pray! Prayer is a privilege and a duty, that we offer the fruit of our lips unto You. I pray that we draw near the Throne of Grace with the right understanding of God's majesty with a holy confidence in God's goodness. Peter says "we must strive in prayer that we obtain the right views of God and (grasp) deeper knowledge that we worship Him right."1Peter 3:15 Lord we cry out and confess our failures, our tendencies to serve sin and our own interest, burying self. I pray that we use everything divinely appointed to promote the Kingdom of God in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God
