"Be joyful constantly pray continually give thanks in all situations, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 16-18, NIV

Throughout the lengthy year of attempting to figure out how I could joint venture with Saving Grace Enterprises I've just identified it would ultimately happen -all in God's time of course. The previous couple of weeks have been particularly trying for both Dee (the owner of Saving Grace Enterprises) and myself. We've felt and had an onslaught of attack coming from the enemy's ranks to attempt and thwart our mission. Throughout it all, God has shown and directed both of us to pray with out ceasing.

When we get busy in our day-to-day lives, it's effortless to feel "I will pray later when I am a lot more relaxed" or "much less busy" or "not so tired". That "later" usually doesn't happen. If you are feeling the need to have to pray appropriate NOW and never, it is actually a direct rejection of the Holy Spirit leading you into prayer. He's right here to counsel and teach us and if we don't heed His direction, we're not taking full benefit of the privilege we have in prayer since of our Savior's finished perform at the Cross and subsequent resurrection.

Prayer isn't only a privilege, it's the power we have in the Holy Spirit. Prayer is direct communication with Omnipotent God. Almighty God! Wow, now believe about that. He's listening and He desires to hear from us. God, our God, our huge God Who is so wide, so deep and unfathomable in our finite getting! I often think that would be like me desiring a conversation with an ant, lol. It really is a good factor God doesn't think like that huh?

God desires to be in contact with us at all instances. Paul said to pray ceaselessly. Does not that imply pray all the time? Consistently? What God has been teaching me (Dee also simply because we speak collectively a LOT), is that He desires continual contact, continuous fellowship with us. In my devotional commentary Devotions for a Deeper Life by Oswald Chambers nowadays there was this message to me from God (yep He does talk to us in all sorts of various methods): And some fell on stony ground, exactly where it had not much earth and right away it sprang up, since it had no depth of earth (Mark four:5)

".......This kind of self-sympathy, arising from the cares of this life, is carnal. It will kill the Spirit of God inside you. Jesus said, 'If you look at your difficulties alternatively of Me, the Word will be choked in your heart.' Satan will attempt his best to have you appear at the issues of your life. He knows that if he can get your eyes off of Jesus and onto these, he will be able to choke your spiritual life. Have you ever noticed how numerous occasions Scripture warns us not to be anxious, not to be concerned? He tells us to cast our cares upon Him, to trust Him, to wait on Him, and to fret not. Could God aid us to hold the thorns from developing up in our hearts and choking the Word of God in us!"

1 way to usually preserve our eyes on Him is to be in constant prayer. If we're constantly praying to God about each single thing in our lives, our eyes won't waiver, nor will our hearts. A single issue I am certain of, this joyous remarkable adventure Dee and I are on, whilst at occasions unsettling, it really is a blast when you just give the reins totally more than to God, hold in continuous communication with Him and just take pleasure in the ride! Pray with no ceasing brethren and watch how God responds! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1PfqIS1kQA how to change the world]
