As a committed prayer (pray-er), I really appreciate today's Faith Food by Kenneth E. Hagin!
"That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans us from all sin" (1 John 1:3-4, 7).
If you have fellowship with God, and you're walking in the light as He is in the light, then prayer becomes one of the greatest assets you have inherited in Christ. Prayer is joining forces with God the Father. It is being in fellowship with Him. It is carrying out His will upon the earth.
Prayer should never be a problem or a burden to you. It should be a joy! Prayer, "real prayer," won't take anything out of you; it will always put something into you! Because you are in fellowship with God when you pray.
Confession: I have fellowshipped with my Father in prayer. And my joy is full! I fellowship with God. I commune with God, I talk with Him, and I listen to Him, that I may carry out His will upon the earth.
AMEN! Choose to become a consistent and committed prayer, too! When we do, we are co-laborers with Jesus, because HE ever lives to make intercession - for us (Hebrews 7:25)! 1 John 5:14-15 tells us exactly how to get our prayers answered, and Ephesians 6:8 tells us that WE will receive prayer when WE pray for others! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Desert Song":
Shalom in Him!
