Spurgeon said, "God was at the prayer meeting....God doesn't bless empty seats." Ouch!! Are you suggesting that God may just want me at the prayer meeting? Didn't He say, "My house shall be called a house of prayer?" Check Matthew 21:12-13
"Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life!..To say a man lives a life of faith, and yet lives a prayerless life, is every bit as inconsistent and incredible as to say that a man lives without breathing." J.Edwards
Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name! ~Mt.6:9 Revive me, O LORD, FOR YOUR NAME'S SAKE! For Your righteousness' sake, bring me out of trouble! ~Ps.143:11 He restores my soul... He leads me... in paths of righteousness FOR HIS NAME's SAKE! ~Ps.23:3
JESUS SAID, "IF YOU THEN, BEING EVIL, KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS TO YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE WILL YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THOSE WHO ASK HIM!" (LUKE 10:13) WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PRAYED FOR AN OUT POURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? JESUS SAID, "ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE!" (LUKE 10:9-10) IT IS TIME TO "ASK FOR RAIN IN THE TIME OF THE LATTER RAIN! THE LORD WILL MAKE FLASHING CLOUDS! HE WILL GIVE THEM SHOWERS OF RAIN!" (ZECHARIAH 10:1) LORD! WE NEED A DOWNPOUR!
"Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!" ~Jer.9:1 Everything is not OK! Souls are perishing every day!
