The difficulty with prayer pt.2

Time is of great essence, but you might want to have a look again on our
first episode pt:1 to refresh yourself. will you?. The skeptic is always challenging us about the values and the effectiveness of our prayers. Its been said, Queen Mary  remarked that she" fear the prayers of John Knox, than the whole army of Scotland ", powerful, is it not? On the way we are having great challenges and difficultly as well, both corporately and personal

Now if he is having difficultly believing in God, then prayer might be off the radar .Since the first order of business is faith, which to me takes more faith not to believe than not to. Just as how a person is faithful in the faithfulness of his unbelief which brings nothing relating to God, his whole living
 being is a natural habiatad , which his existence is base  from his perspective.

The natural man understood not the things of the spirit.A spiritual man must understand that his domain is different.God is a Spirit, so his first order of business is to connect by faith in the spirit with spirit. Here is the thing, God make it possible for to come before him in prayer, and all aspect the Holy Spirit will aid us.The scripture sated, " 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." ( Romans 8:26 ).


Great care must be taken to allow the Holy Spirit into our prayer lives. He is the convincing truth of God, the ennoblement in our prayers.He took our cries in whatever state or form in God's presence.. Richard Sibbes remarked is this ' God can pick sense out of our confused prayer" Be reassured that whatsoever the difficultly in our prayer live, we must like the disciples who asked, " Lord teach us to pray."  Luke 11:1.James said " The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous men availeth much" James 5:16.

I will break here for now, stay refresh and focus on the Lord in your prayers even when facing extreme adds. See you in pt: 3, remember our motto: " Think crtically and pray sttategically." I am praying for and with you, God bless.
