Prayer Should Be All About You and The Father

And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” – Luk 18:1

From the prayer of Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus, it’s clear His prayer life  didn’t revolve around miracles. He didn’t spend all-nights praying for healings, raising the dead and such; His prayer times were devoted to communing with the Father.

In our longest record of any of His prayers (John17), we see such expression of intimacy and communion between the Father and the Son. There was no binding of Satan there, and no praying for miracles.

Beloved, there’s nothing wrong with praying for a particular need or binding demonic spirits; but something is critically wrong if those are the defining characteristics of our prayer life.

Check the content of your prayers, if God answers that prayer (or says you don’t need to pray about that anymore) will you find yourself looking for what else to say? (Maybe, you’ll now pick up another ‘problem’ to pray about).

Beloved, God is not honoured when we spend a whole night binding demons and witches. Satan didn’t give his life for you, yet we spend more hours on him than with God. We can fast for days and spend hours to battle already defeated demons, yet will struggle for words if we’re asked to stay with God and “just talk”.

You’re bought with a price, you’re God’s baby, when you talk to Him, let the conversation revolve around HIM and what He did for you on the Cross, and not about problems and demons.

AMEN.
More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
