“Filling Comes By Asking”
Ephesians 5:18; 6:17,18
We should be in constant prayer, for the will of God to be done in our lives, as true believers (Matthew 6:10). God will favor the heart cry of His children. Come to Him in confession and repentance, and simply ask what you want. Do you want to be a sincere prayer warrior? Then ask God in the name of Jesus, believe He is going to do it, even though you are unworthy to receive it, but ask Him to fill you with His Spirit to be a servant of prayer. Do you want to be an intercessor? Ask Him! Do you want to know that your prayers are being answered? Then listen to, “the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees” (II Samuel 5:24). That’s the Holy Spirit moving like the wind (John 3:8).
When we’ve made ourselves available for the Holy Spirit to fill us for each task, ministry, and blessing ahead; then we will be doubly prayerful, doubly sincere and earnest in all our spiritual activity. We will approach the throne of Grace more often, and stay awhile longer, for ourselves and for others, after all it is our Heavenly Father that we are talking to.
There are times that we have a special touch from Heaven in our praying, and peculiar power that is different than all other times. You have promises concerning your devotion and prayers; desire them, look for them, wait for Him in answer, and that means to “work while it is day”. Get rid of any hindering habits, be willing to empty yourself, and be closer in communion and devotion.
Remember, our freedom consists of being what we ought, not as we want all of the time.
“The Way To Pray”
How should I pray? What is the plan?
There must be a mystery to it!
No, my friend, there is not a trick;
Just offer yourself and do it!
