Hello All:
Prayer, Prayer is part of being separate the world is no praying like it used to, the church is not praying like it used to, and to be honest I'm concerned about how we deal with this subject. Churches today talk about prayer, they teach on prayer, but we lack praying Christians, I know, everyone talks about prayer and how we all need to pray more, but really what is prayer in a world we live in? prayer is the time we have with God before we enter the world. This is the time of separation from the world. Jesus often took time to pray and to take a rest from the world and his ministry.
Luk 6:12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
This was Jesus time to be separate, he needed just like we need to, spend time with the Lord. He used this opportunity I'm sure to get refreshed, we need to be refreshed spiritually. the call to prayer is simple, the task is hard, it's hard to get up early and pray or stay up late and pray but when we do great things start happening,(Jam 5:16)
The world is a dangerous place and unless we are praying and seeking the Lord our efforts for the kingdom will fail, we need to keep our own walk with Christ in check before we move out into the field. We need that relationship with Christ, Prayer in a dark world is the ultimate type of separation. We are called to pray without Ceasing(1st Th 5:17)
This means always be praying always live a life of prayer, don't treat prayer like a 1/2 hour session then live your life! we must live always in prayer we must act upon our relationship with the Lord, we must be on the alert for prayer opportunity. Prayer is useless if we get into the business mindset of prayer we pray for 1/2 hour a day then live in the world! dude, that time spent was useless if we use prayer a s a means of fulfilling the christian walk in that sense. We must walk in prayer we must never cease from praying! This is true separation.
