Prayer: A Light In The Darkness

 Colossians 4:2

Prayer is of God.

The Spirit that inspires you to pray is the Spirit of God.

Romans 8:26

The Spirit of God is light, the kingdom of God is light, the children of God are light, the church of God is a city of light.

We are from a kingdom and camp of light.

Colossians 1:13

People of the kingdom pray, people of the light pray.

Prayer is light for everything we do in the kingdom is done in light.

1 Peter 2:9

When we pray according to God's will we are piercing the darkness spiritually.

Prayer helps us push back the darkness.

Prayer brings us before God, in God's presence we draw grace from the One who sits on the throne of grace.

Your prayer time is your audience with God.

Don't joke with your personal prayer time, spend quality time with God through prayer.

God is Light, prayer brings us before the Light.

When we come before the Light, light rubs off on us.

In God who is Light we receive light to function in the darkness of this world.

Hebrews 4:16

Prayer strengthens us in Light.

Prayer brings us before His Grace and we receive the grace to function in this dysfunctional world.

A lot of the challenges, trials, hardships we face are as a result of the fallen state of this world and the darkness that permeates this world.

As light is the answer to darkness, prayer is the answer to trouble and affliction.

James 5:13

Challenges and difficulties are not strange, they'll come.

1 Peter 4:12,13

Difficulties dissipate in the place of prayer.

People overtaken with difficulties and overwhelmed by challenges are often people who don't spend quality time in the place of prayer with God.

The grace and the help of God is available.

We have no excuse or reason to give up.

Proverbs 24:10

Challenges are not meant to break us or defeat us.

Challenges are not meant to overcome or overwhelm us.

Challenges and difficulties should help us build our spiritual strength, develop our spiritual muscles, and act as stepping stones for us to move to higher heights and greater glories.

After the challenges Jesus Christ went through and overcame- beatings, scourge, shame, being pierced with a spear, the crucifixion, and death. Jesus overcame all of those with the resurrection and ascending to God's right hand side.

That's the greatest honor.

In something of a similar way we are meant to overcome our trials and challenges.

Hebrews 12:2

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
