Prayerlessness

Don’t be forced into an opinion in a situation where you have no responsibility!

Once again, do not criticize a servant to his Master.  We are to pray for those who oppose us rather than form an opinion in our own mind that would exalt us above that person.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 3:

20 Whenever our hearts make us feel guilty and remind us of our failures, we know that God is much greater and more merciful than our conscience, and He knows everything there is to know about us.

If you form an opinion about someone, in essence you have done so with very little knowledge about that person and his circumstances and intent.  Only FATHER knows, so don’t take a position in such a situation.  Judge not lest you be judged.

James wrote in his epistle by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 4:

2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

Prayerlessness creates lack; prayerlessness fuels lack; prayerlessness is what lack wants to consume.  When we face a need and there is prayerlessness, it actually fuels lack instead of causing the need to be solved and disappear.  You have not because you ask not.  So, prayerlessness actually sustains need and lack.

Most of the time, GOD is waiting for me to do something.  HE gave you and me that authority over the earth, but we must express authority with our faith-filled words and prayers.

The weightiness of what you are facing should determine the weightiness of how you pray! 

And in James 4:

10 Be willing to be made low before the Lord and HE will exalt you!

When you pray, you are humbling yourself before THE LORD.  You have the problem and HE has the solution.

And in James chapter 5:

16 Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a Godly believer!

We must not be casual in our prayers to FATHER.  Casual prayers get casual answers.  If you want Heaven to move, let your heart be moved!  We are to pray with sincerity and intense conviction.  We are praying to THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY so don’t pray a casual prayer expecting the King of The Universe to respond. 

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 18:

1 One day Jesus taught the apostles to keep praying and never stop or lose hope. He shared with them this illustration:

2 “In a certain town there was a judge, a thick-skinned and godless man who had no fear of others’ opinions.

3 And in the same town there was a poor widow who kept pleading with the judge, ‘Grant me justice and protect me from my oppressor!’

4-5 “He ignored her pleas for quite some time, but she kept asking. Eventually he said to himself, ‘This widow keeps annoying me, demanding her rights, and I’m tired of listening to her. Even though I’m not a religious man, and I don’t care about the opinions of others, I’ll get her off my back by answering her claims for justice and I’ll rule in her favor. Then she’ll leave me alone.’ ”

6 Jesus continued, “Did you hear what the godless judge said—that he would answer her persistent request?

7 Don’t you know that God, the True Judge, will grant justice to all His chosen ones who cry out to Him night and day? He will pour out His Spirit upon them. He will not delay to answer you and give you what you ask for.

8 God will give swift justice to those who don’t give up. So be ever praying, ever expecting, in the same way as the widow. Even so, when the Son of Man comes back, will He find this kind of undying faith on earth?”

There is a tipping point in prayer in which the answer is released.  The widow was persistent in her prayer, so should we.  Her persistence got her the breakthrough.

Prayerlessness allows the absence of breakthrough to become the norm.  We must be diligent, persistent, and fervent when we pray if we truly want a breakthrough.
