    Luke 12:35-36 stands as one of the most crucial passages for serious believers in this present hour. This scripture provides us with three essential insights: it clarifies our marching orders, instructs us on how to live faithfully amid present darkness, and helps us prioritize what truly matters as we align ourselves with God's prophetic intentions for our day.As I've meditated on this passage in light of my own spiritual journey and where I stand in God's purposes, one truth emerges with striking clarity: the Lord commands His disciples to keep their lamps burning if they are to remain relevant to His redemptive counsel and ready for His return.The Psalmist declared, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). While there are many practical applications we can draw from this imagery, I want to focus specifically on how this relates to the Lord's return. We must remain ready in service, continuing steadfastly in whatever the Spirit of the Lord has called us to do.The Enemy's Strategy: Snuffing Out Your LightThe danger we face is real and immediate: we can be derailed, distracted, or find ourselves in situations where our lamps are snuffed out by the deception of the evil one. The enemy's lies are designed specifically to extinguish the light that God has placed within us.Therefore, beloved saints and biblical students, I urge you: Do not allow the enemy's lies to turn off your lamp. Keep your hearts alert to the reality of the Lord's return. Stay ready in service. Continue faithfully in your calling. Let nothing, no deception, no distraction, no discouragement extinguish the light of God's Word burning within you. The times demand our vigilance. Our lamps must keep burning.

    The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God's kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.At its core, intercession is an act of love; it's an intentional, Spirit-led intervention on behalf of others. It's the moment when a human heart aligns with God's heart, pleading for His mercy, justice, and purposes to manifest in the earth. Whether it's for a family member, a city, or an entire nation, intercession carries the weight of heaven's redemptive plan. The Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed the course of history through their relentless, heartfelt prayers: Daniel, Nehemiah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others who stood before God on behalf of broken people and wayward nations.Consider Daniel's story in Babylon (Daniel 10). From the moment he began to pray, God dispatched an answer, but a spiritual adversary, the prince of Persia, hindered the response for 21 days. Daniel's persistence in prayer, coupled with angelic intervention, ultimately broke through the resistance. This account reveals a critical truth: intercession is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a confrontation with unseen forces that seek to oppose God's will. It requires tenacity, spiritual insight, and a deep understanding of the agencies at play in the spiritual realm.Intercession is heaven's ordained mechanism for transformation. If a nation is to experience revival, renewal, or restoration, it begins with a people who understand the ministry of intercession. These intercessors are the forerunners of change, the ones who labor in prayer to align earthly realities with heaven's purposes. But to be effective, intercession demands more than fervent prayers; it requires a clear understanding of the spiritual dynamics involved and a heart fully surrendered to God's redemptive plan.

    In Romans 12:1-3, Paul presents a profound spiritual and theological concept when he urges believers to offer their bodies as "living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God." This calling carries a deep insight and implication for understanding the relationship between body, mind, and spirit connection in Christian discipleship. Paul's instruction reveals a crucial understanding of the intricate relationship between mind and body. Our physical beings serve as vessels or system through which our thoughts and spiritual conditions manifest themselves. When our minds authentically align with God's will, our bodies naturally become instruments of heaven's kingdom intention and righteousness on earth. The enemy's desire is to establish and express his presence through the human body by imprisoning the human thought system. without a doubt, a mind in discord and rebellion with divine counsel and purpose often manifests in physical actions that contradict God's intent and design.Paul's audience, the Romans, lived in a culture steeped in pagan sacrificial practices. These often-involved destructive physical rituals—self-mutilation, immolation, and sexual rites—aimed at appeasing or invoking spiritual entities. By contrast, Paul introduces a revolutionary concept: the offering of a living sacrifice. This new paradigm doesn't destroy the body but consecrates it for God's will and purposes. The human body's spiritual significance traces back to creation itself. Scripture reveals an ongoing spiritual contention for human embodiment, dramatically illustrated in Genesis 6's account of fallen angels seeking human vessels. This historical pattern underscores a fundamental truth: God designed the human body to be His temple, not a dwelling place for malevolent demonic spirits. This design finds its fulfillment in the New Testament teaching that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.

    MANAGING THE CURRENT GLOBAL LEADERSHIP CRISIS IN THE LIGHT OF BIBLICAL TRUTH.

    The concept of church and nation share something fundamental: they both require long-term development and vision. Neither the nation nor the church is an immediate or even midterm project. These are enduring visionary mandate, designed to outlast individuals. When we truly grasp this reality, it changes everything about how we build. The way we lay foundations, create frameworks, and establish structures for both the ecclesia and the nation must be designed with permanence in mind. These structures must be built to outlast even the best intentions of their current leadership.Right now, both the church and the nation stand at a critical junction. We desperately need clear prophetic insight to navigate this moment we've been thrust into. I think anyone would agree that we're living in critical times. Whether we want to accept it or reject it, whether we even realize it or not, the church and the nation are in a state of deep crisis. Where we find ourselves today is like someone in the ICU, in critical condition, requiring serious intensive care to revive that which is about to die.Certain ideologies about leadership have been promoted as the solution for what the church and the nation need. But these very ideologies have done tremendous damage and continue to cause harm through division, segregation, and marginalization. I want to expand on this further because this is critical to understand. God's intention has always been to unite. Wherever we find division, wherever we find the works of separation and fragmentation, wherever we find all kinds of things that are not a reflection of divine counsel, we can know with certainty that we are not seeing the heart of God at work. The Bible tells us clearly that the enemy has come to steal, to kill, and to destroy. And one of the primary ways the enemy accomplishes this destructive work is through the spirit of divisiveness. Division is not the nature of God. It is not the nature of the church. Neither should it be the innate nature of nation building. To truly have a nation, you must find unity. You must discover and cultivate the things that unite people together. But when the rhetoric coming from leadership centers around division and segregation, when the language is constantly about separating people into opposing camps, when the focus is on what makes us different rather than what brings us together, that is a massive warning sign. Any leader who is in a position of leadership and authority but whose message and methods create division is not representing the heart and intention of heaven.

    A fundamental aspect of overcoming the religious mindset involves viewing all aspects of life through the lens of Christ as the divine measure and pattern of thinking and acting. This encompasses our understanding of creation, history, culture, tradition, identity, relationships, ministry, business, family, leadership, governance, and every other aspect of human existence. When we fail to filter our perceptions and judgments through this Christ-centered lens, we become vulnerable to the distortions of the religious [mindset] spirit.This spirit is particularly adept at using personal experiences, especially religious ones, as channels through which it defines and interprets life. More critically, these experiences become the framework through which individuals view God, their spirituality, and by extension their interpretation of their assignments. This creates what the scripture warns about in Colossians 2:8, "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ."The religious spirit employs sophisticated methods of control and manipulation. It often establishes its authority through seemingly innocent means – using good works, prayers, fasting, hospitality, and benevolence as vehicles to gain confidence and legitimacy. This mirrors the warning in Matthew 7:15 about false prophets who "come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."Once established, this spirit positions itself as the authoritative voice of God over various spheres – be it geographical, institutional, or spiritual. It creates systems of control that can be both overt and subtle, using what might be termed as both "hard" and "soft" power. This can include financial influence, social pressure, and spiritual manipulation, often leading to what Paul described in Galatians 5:1 as a "yoke of slavery."

    The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God's kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.At its core, intercession is an act of love; it's an intentional, Spirit-led intervention on behalf of others. It's the moment when a human heart aligns with God's heart, pleading for His mercy, justice, and purposes to manifest in the earth. Whether it's for a family member, a city, or an entire nation, intercession carries the weight of heaven's redemptive plan. The Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed the course of history through their relentless, heartfelt prayers: Daniel, Nehemiah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others who stood before God on behalf of broken people and wayward nations.Consider Daniel's story in Babylon (Daniel 10). From the moment he began to pray, God dispatched an answer, but a spiritual adversary, the prince of Persia, hindered the response for 21 days. Daniel's persistence in prayer, coupled with angelic intervention, ultimately broke through the resistance. This account reveals a critical truth: intercession is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a confrontation with unseen forces that seek to oppose God's will. It requires tenacity, spiritual insight, and a deep understanding of the agencies at play in the spiritual realm.Intercession is heaven's ordained mechanism for transformation. If a nation is to experience revival, renewal, or restoration, it begins with a people who understand the ministry of intercession.

    THE DANGER OF INDECISIVENESS IN A GROWING WORLD OF UNCERTAINTY. PART 4.

    Indecisiveness is often considered a defining characteristic of immaturity. On the other hand, individuals with maturity and strong character demonstrate the ability to make precise, well-considered decisions guided by knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Many adults today, especially those in some form of leadership positions, often face significant challenges when required to make decisive choices they can support because they've thought through them. This difficulty frequently stems from an underdeveloped capacity for decision-making, as the mental faculties that aid this process were not sufficiently cultivated. Moving into the future clouded by disruptions and uncertainties will require men and women who have the knowledge and character fortitude to make swift, precise decision that are well calculated in bringing the right advancement initiatives to bear. As you might have noticed that decision-making is not an innate gift bestowed upon us; it is a learned, trained act, a critical value meant to be cultivated and refined through our developmental years as children and refined into adulthood. Like a muscle, the ability to make sound, resolute choices must be built and ingrained through childhood training and experiences, guidance, and intentional practice. By the time we reach maturity, we are expected to have understood the rudiments of crafting high-quality decisions that align with our visionary purposes, values, and objectives. Yet, many adults today find themselves paralyzed by indecision or prone to impulsive choices they cannot sustain. This struggle often stems from a failure to develop the “mind muscle” required for effective decision-making—a skill that was either neglected in their formative years or undermined by fear, insecurity, or lack of discipline.The consequences of this gap are profound. As the Bible warns in James 1:8, “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways,” unable to receive from the Lord or, by extension, from life itself. A double-minded approach, marked by wavering or hasty choices creates instability in relationships, careers, and personal growth. Advancing into uncharted waters and the uncertainties of tomorrow's future would require a quality of leadership behavioral character with the ability and fortitude to make well-calculated decisions that drive families and communities towards their prophetic assignments and initiatives. Without this foundation, individuals and communities would remain crippled and trapped in cycles of indecision or premature choices that could further hinder the potentials the well-being of those around them.

    THE DANGER OF INDECISIVENESS IN A GROWING WORLD OF UNCERTAINTY. PART 1

    Indecisiveness is often considered a defining characteristic of immaturity. On the other hand, individuals with maturity and strong character demonstrate the ability to make precise, well-considered decisions guided by knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Many adults today, especially those in some form of leadership positions, often face significant challenges when required to make decisive choices they can support because they've thought through them. This difficulty frequently stems from an underdeveloped capacity for decision-making, as the mental faculties that aid this process were not sufficiently cultivated. Moving into the future clouded by disruptions and uncertainties will require men and women who have the knowledge and character fortitude to make swift, precise decision that are well calculated in bringing the right advancement initiatives to bear. As you might have noticed that decision-making is not an innate gift bestowed upon us; it is a learned, trained act, a critical value meant to be cultivated and refined through our developmental years as children and refined into adulthood. Like a muscle, the ability to make sound, resolute choices must be built and ingrained through childhood training and experiences, guidance, and intentional practice. By the time we reach maturity, we are expected to have understood the rudiments of crafting high-quality decisions that align with our visionary purposes, values, and objectives. Yet, many adults today find themselves paralyzed by indecision or prone to impulsive choices they cannot sustain. This struggle often stems from a failure to develop the “mind muscle” required for effective decision-making—a skill that was either neglected in their formative years or undermined by fear, insecurity, or lack of discipline.The consequences of this gap are profound. As the Bible warns in James 1:8, “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways,” unable to receive from the Lord or, by extension, from life itself. A double-minded approach, marked by wavering or hasty choices creates instability in relationships, careers, and personal growth. Advancing into uncharted waters and the uncertainties of tomorrow's future would require a quality of leadership behavioral character with the ability and fortitude to make well-calculated decisions that drive families and communities towards their prophetic assignments and initiatives. Without this foundation, individuals and communities would remain crippled and trapped in cycles of indecision or premature choices that could further hinder the potentials the well-being of those around them.

Yet Revelation 22:17 provides us with profound insight into the true nature of this divine event: “And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!' And let him who hears say, ‘Come!' And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.”This verse reveals that Christ's return is fundamentally about the union of relationship between the bride (the church) and the Spirit. When the church reaches a place of genuine maturity and readiness through our union with the Holy Spirit—who prepares the church for the coming of Christ—only then can we properly understand the timing and nature of the Lord's return.Acts 3:21 further clarifies this truth: “whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” The phrase “restoration of all things” does not refer to material restoration, but to the complete alignment of our spirit, soul, and body in perfect union with God's divine intentions for humanity. This restoration speaks to mankind returning to his original ordained position so that when Christ returns, He can find a truly mature church to call His bride.

    #PRAYER AND #INTERCESSORY SESSION 155. LIVING STRONGER THROUGHT THE POWER OF SPIRIT

    The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God's kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.At its core, intercession is an act of love; it's an intentional, Spirit-led intervention on behalf of others. It's the moment when a human heart aligns with God's heart, pleading for His mercy, justice, and purposes to manifest in the earth. Whether it's for a family member, a city, or an entire nation, intercession carries the weight of heaven's redemptive plan. The Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed the course of history through their relentless, heartfelt prayers: Daniel, Nehemiah, Abraham, Moses, and countless others who stood before God on behalf of broken people and wayward nations.Consider Daniel's story in Babylon (Daniel 10). From the moment he began to pray, God dispatched an answer, but a spiritual adversary, the prince of Persia, hindered the response for 21 days. Daniel's persistence in prayer, coupled with angelic intervention, ultimately broke through the resistance. This account reveals a critical truth: intercession is not just a spiritual exercise; it's a confrontation with unseen forces that seek to oppose God's will. It requires tenacity, spiritual insight, and a deep understanding of the agencies at play in the spiritual realm.Intercession is heaven's ordained mechanism for transformation. If a nation is to experience revival, renewal, or restoration, it begins with a people who understand the ministry of intercession. These intercessors are the forerunners of change, the ones who labor in prayer to align earthly realities with heaven's purposes. But to be effective, intercession demands more than fervent prayers; it requires a clear understanding of the spiritual dynamics involved and a heart fully surrendered to God's redemptive plan.

    The future is not one that can be engaged through self-help, motivational preaching orientation as seen today. A deeper sense of spiritual quest, identity and readiness must become the gear we wear to advance the prophetic redemptive counsel of heaven for creation. To put our hope, strength and focus on the arm of the flesh will be translated to absolute failure. I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 According to First Corinthians, we encounter one of the most critical subjects that must be addressed in the sacred place of fasting: the concept of authentic spiritual development through the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit.The Corinthian Christians present us with a sobering case study. These believers had become so proficient in operating spiritual gifts that they achieved a dangerous level of spiritual blindness. Paul writes, "I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God, which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you. So that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 1:4-7). Yet despite this supernatural giftedness, they remained spiritual infants, as Paul later declares: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:1).This paradox reveals a fundamental truth: the operation of spiritual gifts does not automatically qualify one for spiritual maturity. The Corinthians had mistaken gifting for growth, manifestation for maturity. They believed their supernatural abilities indicated readiness for Christ's return, representing the highest form of spiritual delusion. When believers assume that functioning in spiritual gifts qualifies them for spiritual maturity, they fall into the same trap that ensnared the Corinthian church.

Yet despite this supernatural giftedness, they remained spiritual infants, as Paul later declares: "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:1).This paradox reveals a fundamental truth: the operation of spiritual gifts does not automatically qualify one for spiritual maturity. The Corinthians had mistaken gifting for growth, manifestation for maturity.

    As we further press towards the second phase of our September 2025 fasting period, it is essential that the Word of God to reflect key spiritual values and principles relevant to the significance and dynamics of this fasting. Fasting encompasses several important objectives that should be clearly understood by any follower of Christ who practices it. During this season of fasting, we have outlined specific goals and objectives: pursuing mindset mental transformation, seeking spiritual growth and maturity that broadens our perspective, and preparing the Body of Christ prophetically for spiritual challenges in the days ahead.The future is not one that can be engaged through self-help, motivational preaching orientation as seen today. A deeper sense of spiritual quest, identity and readiness must become the gear we wear to advance the prophetic redemptive counsel of heaven for creation. To put our hope, strength and focus on the arm of the flesh will be translated to absolute failure. I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 According to First Corinthians, we encounter one of the most critical subjects that must be addressed in the sacred place of fasting: the concept of authentic spiritual development through the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit.The Corinthian Christians present us with a sobering case study. These believers had become so proficient in operating spiritual gifts that they achieved a dangerous level of spiritual blindness. Paul writes, "I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God, which was given to you by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you.

    It would be an understatement to say that this current season of disruptions at all levels requires a different breed of believers - those with keen prophetic insight, understanding, and maturity to address the complex challenges before us. From geopolitical disruptions to economic challenges, and the current spiritual battle engaging the church globally, fasting is required to gain clarity and understanding of God's ways. Just as we see in the days of Daniel in Babylon, who fasted for 21 days for spiritual breakthrough over the realm (Daniel 10:2-3). Daniel is a model for us as the third day ecclesia that seeks to accelerate God ‘s visionary agenda within the nations, particularly in this period of systematic complex darkness, pervading the hearts and sociopolitical landscapes of nations. Fasting enhances the renewal and development of neural pathways that allow us to see new possibilities and innovations. The Father desires us to live healthy, fruitful, and fulfilling lives. Fasting gives us a sense of sound health, peace, and quietness deep within our inner man. Every aspect of our lives needs adequate care, and fasting plays a major role in this renewal and wholeness of our entire spirit, soul, and body.Spiritual discipline lays the foundation for spiritual breakthrough and advancement. The time of fasting is a time of spiritual renewal - a time of spiritual redemption, recalibration, spiritual development and reform, rediscovery of divine intent, realignment and redirection, and restoration. This is when our prophetic knowledge and insight are greatly enhanced and empowered to further pursue the initiatives of the kingdom of God in greater light.NEED FOR DETOXIFICATION AND RE-CALIBRATION:Our intention and deep desire is to be moved to a higher position of prophetic sight, wisdom, operation, and functionality to courageously build heaven's mandate for our generation. To dethrone the works of the flesh is not a game we can play casually as we have in the past. There must be a well-defined, structured system put in place, and in this fast, fasting is a major part in dethroning the flesh and enthroning the reign of Christ over the soul.We believe fasting is important in helping us develop spiritual knowledge that enhances our sense of current revelatory knowledge and wisdom in our journey into the prophetic realities of the ascended Kingdom life and its establishment for the present season. Fasting keeps the mind in good shape and our thoughts on the right path while our body is brought to that point of divine realignment. The toxic waste in our body system needs to be drained out so our body system can experience renewal. The science of neuron discipline states that it takes at least 21 days of repetitive practice of a particular discipline or task to alter the rigid neuron mapping of the brain that allows for certain behavioral patterns and thinking. This finding is certainly consistent with biblical studies. If we truly desire to see change, we need to engage our pattern of thinking with new perspectives and experiences that allow us to produce the fruit we desire.This means that if you desire to see specific transformation in any particular area of your life, you'll have to invest at least three weeks retraining those areas that have developed wrong habits, which are strongholds. What I've discovered is that many already have hard wiring in specific parts of their thinking (mindset) that has created predictable patterns of thinking and behavioral responses. Hence, it makes it difficult for them to see themselves changing.

Daniel is a model for us as the third day ecclesia that seeks to accelerate God ‘s visionary agenda within the nations, particularly in this period of systematic complex darkness, pervading the hearts and sociopolitical landscapes of nations. Fasting enhances the renewal and development of neural pathways that allow us to see new possibilities and innovations. The Father desires us to live healthy, fruitful, and fulfilling lives. Fasting gives us a sense of sound health, peace, and quietness deep within our inner man. Every aspect of our lives needs adequate care, and fasting plays a major role in this renewal and wholeness of our entire spirit, soul, and body.Spiritual discipline lays the foundation for spiritual breakthrough and advancement. The time of fasting is a time of spiritual renewal - a time of spiritual redemption, recalibration, spiritual development and reform, rediscovery of divine intent, realignment and redirection, and restoration. This is when our prophetic knowledge and insight are greatly enhanced and empowered to further pursue the initiatives of the kingdom of God in greater light.NEED FOR DETOXIFICATION AND RE-CALIBRATION:Our intention and deep desire is to be moved to a higher position of prophetic sight, wisdom, operation, and functionality to courageously build heaven's mandate for our generation. To dethrone the works of the flesh is not a game we can play casually as we have in the past. There must be a well-defined, structured system put in place, and in this fast, fasting is a major part in dethroning the flesh and enthroning the reign of Christ over the soul.We believe fasting is important in helping us develop spiritual knowledge that enhances our sense of current revelatory knowledge and wisdom in our journey into the prophetic realities of the ascended Kingdom life and its establishment for the present season. Fasting keeps the mind in good shape and our thoughts on the right path while our body is brought to that point of divine realignment. The toxic waste in our body system needs to be drained out so our body system can experience renewal. The science of neuron discipline states that it takes at least 21 days of repetitive practice of a particular discipline or task to alter the rigid neuron mapping of the brain that allows for certain behavioral patterns and thinking. This finding is certainly consistent with biblical studies. If we truly desire to see change, we need to engage our pattern of thinking with new perspectives and experiences that allow us to produce the fruit we desire.This means that if you desire to see specific transformation in any particular area of your life, you'll have to invest at least three weeks retraining those areas that have developed wrong habits, which are strongholds. What I've discovered is that many already have hard wiring in specific parts of their thinking (mindset) that has created predictable patterns of thinking and behavioral responses. Hence, it makes it difficult for them to see themselves changing.

    CULTIVATING A LIFE OF PRAYER: FROM STRUGGLE TO STRENGTHPrayer and personal devotion are intended to be wellsprings of spiritual nourishment, moments when we draw near to God for refreshment, guidance, and renewal. Yet for many believers, this sacred practice has become a source of struggle rather than strength, leaving them burdened with guilt and frustration rather than filled with peace and purpose.The reality is that most Christians find consistent, meaningful prayer challenging. Whether it's maintaining focus during prayer, knowing what to say, or simply finding the time and energy for extended communion with God, these difficulties are far more common than many realize. The enemy often uses these struggles to discourage believers, whispering lies about their spiritual maturity or God's willingness to hear them.Learning Through Community and MentorshipPrayer, like any meaningful skill, can be learned and developed. One of the most powerful ways to grow in this area is through the influence of spiritually mature believers who have cultivated deep prayer lives. This isn't about following a rigid doctrine or formula, but rather about observing and learning from those who have walked further down the path of spiritual intimacy.When we intentionally spend time with seasoned prayer warriors, whether in person, through their teachings, or by listening to messages focused on prayer and intercession—something remarkable happens. Their passion becomes contagious, their depth challenges our shallowness, and their consistency exposes our inconsistency. Almost without realizing it, we find ourselves praying longer, with greater fervency, and with increased faith.This principle of spiritual osmosis works because prayer is not merely a technique to be mastered, but a relationship to be cultivated. Just as spending time with wise friends makes us wiser, and being around encouraging people lifts our spirits, surrounding ourselves with those who take prayer seriously naturally elevates our own prayer life.Consider how exposure to focused teaching on prayer and intercession can transform your perspective. As you listen to insights about God's heart for communion, testimonies of answered prayer, and practical wisdom about developing consistency, your own hunger for prayer begins to increase. What once felt like a duty becomes a delight; what seemed impossible becomes achievable.Moving Beyond the 20-30 Minute BarrierMany believers find themselves trapped in brief, surface-level prayer sessions of 20-30 minutes, longing to go deeper but unsure how to break through. This barrier often exists not because of time constraints, but because of spiritual immaturity in the area of prayer. When we learn from those who regularly spend extended time in God's presence, we begin to understand that longer prayer sessions aren't about endurance, they're about encounters with the Spirit of the Lord.Scripture reminds us that "men ought always to pray and not lose heart" (Luke 18:1). This isn't a burden but a blessing—an invitation to constant communion with the Creator of the universe. Prayer isn't meant to be a chore we check off our spiritual to-do list, but a lifeline that sustains us throughout each day.
