WHY PRAY?

All about Love

“God rules in the affairs of men” and He rules as Sovereign in the earth. He alone appoints men to positions of leadership. The worship of false gods, the evil of men, may hinder, thwart or destroy the good God releases into the lives of men, but it cannot ultimately stop it from moving towards His goal and the fulfillment of His Word for “such a time as this.”

“The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ…and He shall reign for ever and ever.”

Satan is raging and his goal is to deceive, destroy and deter God from ruling and reigning on earth; something that was determined for all eternity at Calvary. Satan is a defeated foe, all evidence to the contrary. On earth, He is building a people of godly character - preparing us to rule for eternity - as we deal with good and evil.

The harvest and judgment are close at hand.

Prayer allows us the opportunity to serve in God’s presence and reassure ourselves as to His ability to subdue the people under His dominion. “Thy will be done.” God will do what He wills regardless of our prayers - or lack thereof.

So why pray? Prayer is for our benefit. It builds spiritual muscles of understanding of God’s ability to be His Sovereign Self in everything…unto the eternity He has prepared for those who love Him.

Prayer: It allows a private conversation/consultation with Him. His response is to reveal to us what He is doing in the earth.

Prayer: A gift and a tool; where we learn we are part of His eternal plans… His workmanship…created for good works.

Prayer: The primary work; essential, intimate, the fulfilling of His desire to bring Him pleasure and recreate us in the image of Christ. That is why He created us.

When we pray, we seek Him…and that is what He loves.

WATCH AND PRAY!
