The step first. Love of the Lord never seeses his message,
-
never comes to an end. They are new every morning.
-
Great is your faithfulness shall not be loved God richly.
-
Bless you for being a part of today's morning devotion.
-
Privilege to facilitating this morning glory devotion, Our Pastern Missus
-
Brishney from Harvus Chuckled International, the Navy Commercy. Let's kindly
-
share a word of prayer. Thank you, Heavening Father for today,
-
thank you for the kits of life. Thank you for
-
the opportunity to hear your word again. Let this word
-
dwelled in our hearts and help us meditate on it
-
day and night. And help us too, as it says
-
in Jesus me Amen, let us kind of take a
-
confession from Ju Siu chapter one. There's eat Johur chapter one.
-
Do's e the spook all the Lord shall not depart
-
out on my mind, but I shall meditate in it
-
day and night, that I may observe to do according
-
to all that is written. Minute for them, I will
-
make my way persponse, and then I'll have good success
-
in me I think. For this morning blue devotion, Yes,
-
have you prayed today? Have you prayed today, and our
-
scripture reading will be taken from Mark chapter one there's
-
thirty five, and first Salumius chatter five there's seventeen. Mark
-
chapter one there's thirty five, and first s Alumnius chatter
-
five is seventeen. Mark one thirty five. Before they break
-
the next morning, he just got up and went out
-
in an isolated place to pray first as Alumnius five
-
and seventeen never stopped praying. This is the reading of
-
the word thanks be to grow.
-
Have You Prayed? Part two? In Part one of Have
-
You Prayed Today? We established that we live in a
-
world that worships speed, and in the midst of all
-
this hurry, there is the temptation to trade our prayer
-
lives to buy more time to meet up with our expectations. Gradually,
-
the fire that used to ben in our prayer lives
-
become nothing more than a heap of ashes. Now more
-
than ever, God calls us back to the place of prayer,
-
not just demanding with pray, but also offering to help
-
us pray. How do we begin the journey back? When
-
we find ourselves caught in the trap of prayerlessness, the
-
natural human response is to look for legitimate excuses. We
-
tell ourselves I am just too tired, work is overwhelming
-
right now, or I will have more time next week.
-
But if we want to see a real change, our
-
first response must be to stop making excuses and gently
-
look inward. We must evaluate our heart and are born
-
again experience. Ask yourself the honest questions, Am I still
-
working in a living relationship with God? It's Jesus still
-
the true lover of my soul? Or has something else
-
or someone else taking his rightful place on the throne
-
of my heart? Prayer it's not a religious duty or
-
a checklist to satisfy a demanding deity. It is about
-
cultivating a deep personal intimacy with God. When there is
-
a spiritual disconnect in a relationship with God, there urgency
-
to pray simply vanishes. If you don't feel at home
-
with God, you will not want to spend time talking
-
to Him. As children of God, we must daily examine
-
our hearts to ensure we have not wanted away from home.
-
When we are rightly aligned with Him, prayer ceases to
-
be a burden. It becomes a genuine delight. The second
-
vital step we must take is to become diligent students
-
of the Word of God. Every ranking man of prayer
-
is an ardent student of the Word. Prayer and the
-
Word are inseparable. They go hand in hand. To build
-
a consistent, effective prayer life, you must build a robust
-
word steady life. You cannot have one without the other.
-
Think of the Word of God as the wold that
-
fees the fire of your prayers. Without wood, the fire
-
goes out. We must make quality an interrupted time for
-
the scriptures, not merely to gain her knowledge, but with
-
the goal of knowing God and living out His truth
-
every day. The Word reveals the perfect will of God
-
to you, and when you know his will, you can
-
pray with absolute assurance that He hears and answers you.
-
More than that, the Word is your weapon. Officials, Chapter six,
-
verse seventeen tells us to take the sword of the Spirit,
-
which is the Word of God. When you stand to pray.
-
It is the scripture in your heart that helps you
-
push back the darkness and advance in your spiritual battles.
-
The Lord help us as we take these steps to
-
revive our prayer. Autist in Jesus name, Amen, It's time
-
to take our memory. Verse for today and our memory
-
verse will be taken from Jeremiah chapter twenty ninth, verse
-
twelve and thirteen. Jereman twenty nine, Verse twelve and thirteen. Danny,
-
you will call on me and come and pray to me,
-
and I will listen to you. You will seek me
-
and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Amen,
-
let us kindly share a word of prayer. Father, in
-
the name of Jesus, we thank you for your word
-
that has come to us this morning. We pray Lord
-
for the grace to examine our work of faith where
-
we have fallen off, where we have wandered off. Help
-
us to come back home. Grant us the grace also
-
to be students of your word, so that will revive
-
our broken prayer. Oldest, we give you praise in Jesus'
-
mighty name. Amen. God, Richly bless you, beloved for being
-
a part of this morning's devotion. As we take these
-
steps of faith, the Lord help us to become mighty
-
men and women of prayer. Shalom and have a blessed
-
and a fruitful day. Amen.
