What happens when men pray?
WHEN MEN PRAY
────────────────────────
The Labor, the Foundation, the Reasons,
and the Intimacy That Prayer Produces
────────────────────────
"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the
kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
— Matthew 11:12
You pray — and then you
wait for a response from God. This is the most basic and most overlooked fact
about prayer: it is a two-way communication. The God you are addressing is not
passive. He is not a depository for your requests, obligated to dispense answers
according to your timetable. He is the King of kings — and He cannot be
hurried. He requires discipline. He requires waiting. And He requires faith
that does not calculate His silence as absence.
Isaiah understood this:
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall
walk, and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31). Strength is not given to those who
pray. It is given to those who pray and wait. The waiting is not passive — it
is the active, expectant posture of faith that says: He has heard me, and I
will remain here until He responds.
This document is a
comprehensive examination of prayer — not as a concept but as a life. What it
is, why it is labor, what truths empower it, why believers pray, and what the
deepest prayer ultimately produces. By the end of this document, the question will
not be whether you believe prayer is important. The question will be: are you
praying? And if so — are you praying prayers?
Chapter One
The Labor of Prayer
Prayer Is Not a Casual Activity — It Is
a Demanding Ministry
The Apostle Paul chose the
word "laboring" to describe Epaphras in prayer. This was not
accidental or sentimental. The word Paul used in Colossians 4:12 is the same
Greek word agonizomenos — from which we derive our word "agony" — used
to describe the effort of a woman in childbirth. Agonizing. Travailing. Pushing
through pain to bring forth life.
"Epaphras, who is one of you, a
bondservant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in
prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."
— Colossians 4:12
That is the intensity
required in prayer. Romans 15:30 adds the language of striving — the same word
used for wrestling, for spiritual combat — as Paul asks the church to strive
together with him in prayers to God. These are not the words of a man describing
a pleasant devotional. They are the words of a man describing a demanding,
costly, necessary spiritual discipline.
And yet — this is the
labor that produces results no other spiritual activity can produce. Acts 6:4
records the apostles' commitment: "We will give ourselves continually to
prayer, and to the ministry of the word." The word continually means to be
steadfastly attentive, to persevere constantly. This was not an occasional
prayer meeting. It was a posture, a permanent orientation, a life devoted to
the labor of intercession and communion.
The Recruitment to
Labor
Matthew 11:12 declares
that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.
Prayer, then, is a recruitment to labor in the kingdom. The question is: at
what hour were you recruited? Because God recruits at different times.
In the Parable of the
Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), the landowner went out at different
hours — early morning, third hour, sixth, ninth, and even the eleventh hour —
recruiting workers. Each was called at a different time. But each was called to
the same labor. Daniel prayed three times a day (Daniel 6:10). Peter prayed at
the sixth hour (Acts 10:9). Paul and Silas prayed at midnight (Acts 16:25).
Elijah prayed at the time of the evening sacrifice (1 Kings 18:36).
If God wakes you at
midnight, midnight is your hour of prayer. God recruits at different times —
but the call to labor is the same for all who are recruited.
The question that every
believer must answer honestly is this: have you answered the call to labor in
prayer — whether at midnight, in the early morning, at the eleventh hour, or
wherever God has assigned your watch?
The War Against Prayer
The flesh does not want to
pray. This is not a weakness unique to carnal believers — it is the nature of
the battle. Galatians 5:17 describes it: the flesh wars against the spirit, and
the spirit against the flesh. They are contrary to one another. When the spirit
knows it must pray, the flesh wants rest. When the spirit is pressing into God,
the flesh is calculating how many more minutes are left. Romans 7:23 puts it
even more starkly — there is a law in the members, warring against the law of
the mind.
This is why prayer
requires discipline. Paul's own strategy was clear in 1 Corinthians 9:27:
"I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection." The body must
be brought under. The flesh must be told it is not in charge. And the believer
who consistently exercises that authority over the flesh begins to discover
something profound: the flesh gradually yields. The labor that once felt like
combat begins to feel like delight.
"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall
die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall
live."
— Romans 8:13
Romans 8:13 reveals the
mechanism: through the Spirit, we mortify the deeds of the body. Not by
willpower alone. The Spirit empowers the labor of prayer and, in the labor,
puts to death what was resisting it. Over time, the joy of God's presence
outweighs every competing comfort the flesh had to offer. The struggle does not
disappear — but it is overcome. And what was once a war becomes worship.
The Holy Spirit as the Helper in Prayer:
Romans 8:26 gives the laboring believer their
greatest ally: 'Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know
not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.' When you do not
know what to pray, the Spirit takes over. When your words fail, He intercedes.
You are never alone in the labor. The Spirit is in you, praying through you,
carrying what your understanding cannot carry. Jude 1:20 commands: build
yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. Praying in the
Spirit bypasses the limits of natural understanding and aligns the prayer with
the perfect will of God.
Chapter Two
What Believers Know Before They Pray
The Biblical Foundation That Gives
Prayer Its Authority
Before we examine why
believers pray, we must examine what truths they carry into the place of prayer
— because the authority with which you pray is directly proportional to the
clarity with which you understand who you are and what has been accomplished
for you. Ignorance at this point is spiritual poverty. Knowledge at this point
is spiritual power.
These are not theological
curiosities to be studied and set aside. They are the living realities that
transform a prayer from a desperate petition into a kingly decree. Let us
examine them.
a. Jesus
Paid Every Price Necessary
Before you open your
mouth in prayer, know this: Jesus has already done everything required for your
complete exoneration from every force that seeks to undermine your existence.
Every barrier between you and God has been removed. Every legal claim the enemy
held against you has been cancelled. You do not come to prayer trying to earn
God's attention — you come to prayer as one who has already been fully
qualified by the blood of Another.
2 Peter 1:3 declares
that His divine power has given us all things that pertain to life and
godliness — already given, through the knowledge of Him. You are not waiting
for God to provide what He has already given. You are taking hold, by prayer,
of what has already been provided.
And Philippians 2:12
makes it plain: work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. The
quality of your life is not in the hands of others, not in the mercy of your
circumstances, not subject to the cruelty of the enemy. It is in your hands —
because the God who purchased you has given you the responsibility and the
authority to work it out. You are the first prophet of your own life.
"According as his
divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue." — 2 Peter 1:3
b. Our
Old Nature Was Crucified with Christ
The believer who prays
does not pray as the person they were before salvation. The old man — the
sinful self, the nature that was in bondage to sin and death — was crucified
with Christ. It is not being managed or suppressed. It was put to death. And
the life you now live is not the extension of the old nature under new
management. It is an entirely different life, lived by the faith of the Son of
God.
This truth is the
foundation of authority in prayer. You are not praying as a sinner hoping God
will overlook your past. You are praying as a new creation, clothed in the
righteousness of Christ, carrying His identity into the presence of the Father.
The enemy knows this. The question is whether you do.
"I am crucified
with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave himself for me."
— Galatians 2:20
"For ye are dead,
and your life is hid with Christ in God."
— Colossians 3:3
c. He
Made Us His Own — Kings and Priests
Jesus did not save you
to leave you as you were. He claimed you. Redeemed you by His blood out of
every kindred, tongue, people, and nation. And He constituted you as something
specific in His kingdom: a king and a priest. Revelation 5:10 is not aspirational
language — it is a present declaration about who you already are.
No devil has the right
to bully you. Every claim the enemy held over your life was stripped from him
at the cross. Colossians 2:14-15 describes it: the handwriting of ordinances
that was against us — nailed to the cross. The principalities and powers — publicly
humiliated, triumphed over. You are royalty. A closed mouth is a closed
destiny. Open your mouth and decree what God has declared over your life.
"But ye are a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light." — 1
Peter 2:9
"And hast made us
unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." — Revelation 5:10
d. Jesus
Restored Our Relationship with the Father
In Eden, man walked with
God in the cool of the day. When sin entered, that fellowship was shattered —
not because God stopped loving, but because His holiness cannot coexist with
iniquity. Isaiah 59:2 records the separation: 'Your iniquities have separated
between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you.'
But the cross reversed
that. Christ reconciled us to the Father — not partially, not provisionally,
but completely. The middle wall of partition has been demolished. You come to
the Father not as a stranger, not as someone petitioning a reluctant authority,
but as a beloved child whose access has been permanently restored and sealed by
the blood of Jesus. This is the consciousness with which every prayer should
begin.
"But now in Christ
Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For
he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall
of partition between us." — Ephesians
2:13-14
The test Satan brings:
Satan comes not to attack you physically but to
test whether you truly know these truths. He brings accusations, delays,
confusion, and contradiction — not because he can override what Christ has
done, but to see how you will respond. If you respond from ignorance of who you
are, you open the door for the manifestation of his agenda. If you respond from
the knowledge of your covenant position, the attack has no ground to stand on.
Luke 22:31 records Jesus warning Peter: 'Satan hath desired to have you, that
he may sift you as wheat.' The sifting is real. The ground of your defense is
the Word.
This is why 2 Peter 3:18
commands growth: "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ." And Ephesians 4:13 sets the standard: till we all
come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Ask yourself
honestly: am I living the way God expects me to live? Have I attained God's
standard for my life? These are not rhetorical questions. They are the
questions that every serious believer should be weighing against their current
reality — not for condemnation, but for direction.
Chapter Three
Five Reasons Men Pray
What Prayer Actually Accomplishes That
Nothing Else Can
Now that the foundation is
established — the labor, the knowledge, the identity — we can examine why
believers pray. Not "because it is expected" or "because it is a
religious duty." But because prayer accomplishes specific, irreplaceable
things in the life of a believer and in the spirit realm. Here are five of the
most critical.
1. TO RESPOND TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHO WE ARE
Enforcing Our Covenant
Rights in Christ
Prayer is not primarily
about acquiring what we lack. It is primarily about enforcing what we have been
given. The believer who does not pray is not merely missing out on blessing —
they are failing to exercise the authority that Christ purchased for them. And
unused authority does not accumulate. It atrophies.
Matthew 11:12 establishes
the principle: the kingdom is taken by force. The context is not literal
violence — it is the forceful, deliberate, persistent engagement of kingdom
authority. Nothing in this kingdom is given to passive spectators. It is possessed
by those who press in.
"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it
shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways."
— Job 22:28
The king's word carries
authority. Where the word of a king is, there is power (Ecclesiastes 8:4). And
Proverbs 18:21 makes the stakes explicit: death and life are in the power of
the tongue. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. The believer who understands
their covenant position but refuses to speak it into the atmosphere of their
life — over their family, their ministry, their assignment — has possessed the
authority without wielding it.
Through prayer, we take
hold of everything that was made available through the cross. Romans 8:32 asks
the defining question: "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him
up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
The answer is: He will. But Philippians 4:6 makes the method clear — bring
every request to God. Everything made available to you comes through the
channel of prayer.
And growth is expected.
The path of the righteous is a path of increasing light — brighter and brighter
unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). Believers should be going from glory to
glory, from strength to strength, from revelation to revelation. The believer
who is the same person they were five years ago has not been praying — or has
not been praying rightly.
2. TO CHANGE SEASONS
Prayer Recalibrates What the
Enemy Has Delayed
One of the enemy's primary
strategies is the manipulation of seasons. He seeks to devour your season
before it arrives, delay your destiny, trap you in a period you were designed
to pass through, and steal the years that belong to your promise. John 10:10
names his agenda: steal, kill, destroy. But prayer has the authority to
recalibrate what the enemy has disordered.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 declares
that to everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.
God has a specific season written over your life for every dimension of your
calling. The enemy cannot permanently prevent what God has ordained — but he
can create delays. And prayer is the primary mechanism through which those
delays are broken and seasons are restored.
"And I will restore to you the years that
the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm,
my great army which I sent among you."
— Joel 2:25
Joel 2:25 promises
something that should arrest every believer who feels they are running behind:
God can restore the years. Not just the breakthrough — the time itself. The
seasons that were eaten, stolen, consumed by the enemy can be returned. God can
compress years of delayed destiny into months of accelerated fulfillment. He
can give you a divine acceleration that propels you into what was always
supposed to be yours.
Isaiah 60:22 carries this
promise: "A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong
nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time." When God hastens,
circumstances that should take years resolve in days. Opportunities multiply. Connections
are made. Doors open. Not by luck or natural convergence — by the prayer that
shifted the spiritual weather over a season.
Examples of Prayer
Shifting Seasons
Jesus' forty days of
prayer and fasting in the wilderness shifted His season from preparation to
manifestation. He entered the wilderness led by the Spirit. He came out in the
power of the Spirit, and fame of Him spread through the entire region (Luke 4:14).
The wilderness was not punishment — it was the prayer season that preceded the
public season. The depth of the preparation produced the power of the
manifestation.
Paul and Silas in Acts 16
were in a prison season — wrongly imprisoned, beaten, in stocks at midnight.
They did not accept the season as their permanent address. They prayed and
praised at midnight. And suddenly — the foundations shook. The doors flew open.
Every chain fell loose. Their prayer did not just get them out of prison. It
got every prisoner in the building out of their chains. Prayer in a dark season
does not only change your situation. It can change the situation of everyone
connected to you.
The diagnostic question:
What season is the enemy trying to lock you
into right now? What door has been shut for longer than it should have been?
What promise has been in the waiting room for years without manifesting? That
is the prayer assignment. Press in. Shift the season. Your prayer has authority
over the calendar of your life.
3. TO BE TRANSFIGURED
Prayer Transforms Us Into
the Likeness of Christ
Prayer is the mirror. 2
Corinthians 3:18 describes the mechanism of spiritual transformation: we all,
with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed
into the same image from glory to glory. The mirror is the place of prayer. As
you behold, you become. As you linger in the presence of Christ, something of
His nature, His character, His glory is transferred into you.
This is the deepest
purpose of prayer — not what it changes in your circumstances, but what it
changes in you. The believer who prays consistently over years looks different
from the believer who does not. Not in physical appearance alone — in
character, in presence, in authority, in depth. There is a gravitas that
settles on the person who has spent significant time in the presence of God.
Others sense it before they can name it.
"But we all, with open face beholding as
in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to
glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
— 2 Corinthians 3:18
Moses came down from forty
days with God on Mount Sinai and his face was shining — and he did not know it.
The glow was not self-produced. It was the residual effect of proximity to the
glory of God. Transfiguration is what happens to a person who spends enough
time in the presence of the Transfigured One.
Luke 9:28-29 records the
most literal expression of this truth: as Jesus prayed on the mountain,
"the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and
glistering." Prayer changed His visible appearance. The inner glory broke
through the outer form. That is the promise for every praying believer — the
Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27), presses outward through
your character, your conduct, and ultimately through your very countenance. We
won't need to tell people we carry Christ. They will see Him in us.
On worship and glory:
True worship is the transfer of glory back to
God. But what are you transferring if you carry no glory? God has planted glory
in every believer. We were made in His image (Genesis 1:27) and crowned with
glory and honor (Psalm 8:5). That glory was diminished at the Fall but was
fully restored in Christ. Through prayer, we travail until that latent glory is
unleashed — until what God deposited in us becomes visible in us. This is why
prayer and worship are inseparable. You pray until the glory rises. Then you
give that glory back to God in worship.
4. TO REMOVE MOUNTAINS
Prayer Gives Us Authority
Over Every Obstacle on Our Path
Mountains in the spiritual
life are not metaphors for inconvenience. They are spiritual forces — systems,
patterns, structural oppositions — that are specifically designed to hinder
your progress, prolong your journey, and delay your arrival at what God has
promised. And God has not told you to endure them. He has told you to speak to
them.
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever
shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
— Mark 11:23
Notice what Jesus did not
say. He did not say: pray about the mountain, and perhaps God will move it. He
said: say unto the mountain. The authority is yours. The command is yours to
give. The mountain is required to obey — not because of your personal power,
but because the Name in which you speak carries the authority of the One who
created the mountain. Zechariah 4:7 declares it over Zerubbabel: "Who art
thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain."
But the authority must be
exercised — and it must be exercised through prayer. Mark 11:24 follows
immediately: "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when
ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." The mountain-moving
operates in the atmosphere of prayer, faith, and the spoken decree. It does not
operate in the atmosphere of silence and complaint.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
provides the armament: the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty
through God for the pulling down of strongholds — casting down every
imagination, every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. These
strongholds are mountains. And they are pulled down not by physical force but
by spiritual warfare conducted in prayer.
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
— Isaiah 40:31
Flying above mountains is
also a posture of prayer — when the mountain cannot be removed immediately, the
praying believer rises above it. Not in denial of its presence, but in the
elevation of perspective that the presence of God produces. From the eagle's
altitude, the mountain that looked insurmountable at ground level is simply
terrain below. Prayer either removes the mountain or elevates you above it.
Either way, the mountain no longer determines your destination.
5. TO HAVE INTIMACY WITH GOD
The Deepest Reason Men Pray
Many people say that God
has no favorites. I say there are those He calls intimates — those who hunger
for Him, who do not merely want His gifts but want His face, who are not
satisfied with knowing about God but press relentlessly toward knowing God Himself.
The truth is that God desires this intimacy. He created it. He paid for it. And
He is actively looking for the people who will press into it.
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when
ye shall search for me with all your heart."
— Jeremiah 29:13
David is the supreme
example of a believer who understood that prayer is not primarily about
acquisition — it is about presence. Psalm 27:4 declares: "One thing have I
desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of
the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to
enquire in his temple." One thing. Not provision, not protection, not
victory — the presence of God. Psalm 42:1: "As the hart panteth after the
water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." This is the language
of thirst, of physical need, of the kind of longing that cannot be redirected
or substituted.
And God responds to this
kind of seeking with a depth of disclosure He reserves for no one else. Psalm
103:7 makes the distinction: God made known His acts to the children of Israel,
but He made known His ways to Moses. Acts are what God does. Ways are how God
thinks, how He operates, the patterns of His heart. Moses received the deeper
revelation because Moses pressed into the deeper relationship. God told him:
"I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight"
(Exodus 33:12).
The Three Dimensions
of Intimacy
Intimacy with God is
expressed through several relational models in Scripture — each revealing a
different dimension of the closeness He desires with His people.
i. The Husband-Wife Relationship — Covenant Intimacy
Revelation 21:9 describes
the church as the Lamb's wife. Ephesians 5:25-27 shows Christ as the husband
who gave Himself for the church — not out of duty, but out of the deepest
self-giving love in the universe. Isaiah 54:5 declares: "Thy Maker is thine
husband." Hosea 2:19-20 deepens it into covenant language: "I will
betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in
righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies... and
thou shalt know the Lord."
This is the
covenant-intimacy of prayer. The bride knows the bridegroom's voice. She is
attuned to His movements. She anticipates His desires. She does not merely
receive from Him — she abides with Him. This is the level of prayer that
produces the deepest communion and the most reliable hearing of God's voice.
ii. The Father-Child Relationship — Familial Intimacy
Romans 8:15 says we have
received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry "Abba, Father" — the
intimate word of a small child for their father. Daddy. Not a distant deity.
Not a cosmic authority to be approached with calculated reverence alone. A
Father who is personally, tenderly, completely invested in His child.
Matthew 7:11 reveals the
logic of this relationship in prayer: if earthly fathers who are flawed know
how to give good gifts to their children, how much more shall the heavenly
Father give good things to those who ask Him? The Father-child dimension of intimacy
gives prayer its warmth. You are not petitioning a bureaucracy. You are
speaking to a Father who already knows what you need before you ask and who
delights to give it.
iii. The God and His People Relationship — Friendship Intimacy
John 15:15 records the
most extraordinary reclassification in Scripture. Jesus says to His disciples:
"Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his
lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of
my Father I have made known unto you." Friends. Not servants. Not
admirers. Friends — to whom He discloses what He has heard from the Father.
Proverbs 3:32 says the
secret of the Lord is with the righteous. Amos 3:7 establishes the principle:
God will do nothing without first revealing His secret to His servants the
prophets. The believers who press into this dimension of intimacy are the ones
who know what their generation does not know — who see what others cannot see
and speak what others are not equipped to speak. Abraham was called the friend
of God (James 2:23). God could not hide from him what He was about to do
(Genesis 18:17). This is the invitation of friendship prayer.
The diagnostic of intimacy:
Do you know God — or do you merely know about
Him? Do you recognize His voice, or do you require a burning bush before you
believe He is speaking? There is a dimension of prayer that moves beyond
request into conversation, beyond petition into revelation. 'Be still, and know
that I am God' (Psalm 46:10). The knowing comes in the stillness. Have you been
still enough, long enough, to know Him at that depth?
The Call
Are You Praying Prayers?
The Final Question That Demands an
Answer
Everything in this
document has been building toward a single point: the call. Not the theory of
prayer. Not the theology of prayer. The practice. The daily, costly, powerful,
transforming practice of a life lived in sustained communion with God.
You now know that prayer
is labor — and that the labor produces what nothing else can. You know the
foundation: who you are in Christ, what has been accomplished for you, the
authority you carry. You know the reasons: to enforce your identity, to shift your
seasons, to be transfigured, to move mountains, to have intimacy with the
living God. The only remaining question is the one that has always been the
real question:
Are you praying
prayers? Are you laboring in the place of prayer? Have you answered the call to
your prayer shift — whether at midnight, in the early morning, or at the
eleventh hour?
The world you are called
to impact, the family you are called to cover, the assignment you have been
given, the generation you are supposed to serve — all of it waits on the answer
to that question. David served his generation by the will of God (Acts 13:36).
He did not merely live in his generation — he served it, on purpose, in
alignment with divine will. And the prayer life of David is inseparable from
the effectiveness of David's service.
What will be said of you
when your generation has passed? That you lived comfortably in it? Or that you
served it — that you held the line in intercession, that you shifted seasons
through prayer, that you moved mountains that were blocking the path of others,
that you were transfigured into the likeness of Christ and people saw Him in
you?
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of
need."
— Hebrews 4:16
Labor in prayer —
because the kingdom is taken by those who press in.
Know your foundation —
and pray from the authority of who you are in Christ.
Shift your seasons —
because prayer recalibrates what the enemy has delayed.
Press into
transfiguration — because the world needs to see Christ in you.
Move the mountains —
because Jesus gave you the authority to speak to them.
Pursue intimacy —
because this is why you were made.
