PRAYER IS MISSION CRITICAL

PRAYER IS MISSION CRITICAL

John Wesley taught this very wise principle: “We can do nothing without God…and God will do nothing without prayer.” 

William Barkley wrote, “When we pray, we must remember the love of God that wants the best for us, the wisdom of God that knows what is best for us, and the power of God that can accomplish it.”

C. S. Lewis frames the need for prayer in this way: “The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals.  And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back, listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view.”

John Bunyan concluded on a very practical note that “he who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.”

And my good friend, Dr. Ron Eagleton, informs me that he never leaves home without first asking God where he should be going, what he should be doing, and for an infusion of spiritual wisdom to speak the Word of life into whomever God places in his path.

All of these Kingdom principles illustrate the absolute importance of maintaining open lines of communication with our Creator. 

My friend, you must never neglect prayer because ‘seven days without prayer makes one weak.’

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
