Jesus said this in Matthew 6 : 5-6
5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Something to notice is that he wants us not to just pray to Him in repeated ways over and over. God is a personal God and isn’t far off but by His blood has made us close to Him.(Ephesians 2:13) So he equates this type of prayer with hypocrisy. God isn’t looking for just some empty action on our part He is looking for FAITH and our hearts turned to him. 1 Chron says If we who are called by His name would humble ourselves and pray and turn from out wicked ways He would hear from heaven and heal our land.
In another place there in James he writes this, the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Truly its time we stop just repeating prayers and saying empty words daily but setting time aside and adding faith to what we are communicating to the Lord.
Sometimes we even need to FAST. Yes I said it and we should take the message from Jesus our Master that sometimes things in life need Fasters. Those people who FAST and PRAY.
I believe you are one of them and I stand with you today and agree that from this moment on we will fast and pray and add faith to the things we pray. This will change things and the power of God will move in our lives and we will see the strongholds of the enemy BREAK. Every chain broken every need met in the Name of Jesus.
