Prayer builds a fellowship with The LORD

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 21Feb2025

Renowned Christian missionary Dr Wesley L Duewel described Prayer is much more than formal repetition of eloquent words strung together to impress the hearers, or quoting words from a book, or it's not based upon the well-planned strategies developed by our natural minds. 

Prayer itself is an art that only The Holy Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all Prayer - C H Spurgeon

The Great victories Jesus experienced out on the frontlines as HE ministries to the needs of the people, teaching, opening blind eyes, unstopping deaf ears, healing all manner of diseases, raising the dead. These were not automatic. They were won before HE Went out on the frontlines in Prayer.

Prayer is the Key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's infinite Grace and Power - R A Torrey.

Friendship - What's up, God!! Hey there, God kind of conversation- While we must adore and revere Him with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, God Himself wants us to be open- Check out the passage Exodus 33:12-22, where Moses is chatting with the Almighty- No matter how many times I read it, I can't help but admire his bold yet friendly approach with the Lord.  

Moses said to the LORD, "I know that you have told me to lead these people to the land you promised them. But you have not told me who my assistant will be. You have said that you are my friend and that you are pleased with me. If this is true, let me know what your plans are, then I can obey and continue to please you. And don't forget that you have chosen this nation to be your own." The LORD said, "I will go with you and give you peace." 

Partnership - 

The effectual fervent prayer a righteous man avails much (James 5:16). If two of you agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father in heaven (Mt 18:19). This partnership between believers and God shows prayers can to significant outcomes The essence of prayer a collaborative relationship between disciples and the LORD, reflecting the impact and significance united, fervent prayer

Then Moses replied, "If you aren't going with us, please don't make us leave this place. But if you do go with us, everyone will know that you are pleased with your people and with me. That way, we will be different from the rest of the people on earth." So the LORD told him, "I will do what you have, because I am your friend and I am pleased with you."

Relationship -

The Lord near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth (Ps 145:18). This verse highlights the closeness of to those who pray, emphasizing the relational aspect of prayer as a means of drawing near to Him. It underscores importance of genuine and heartfelt communication with God, reinforcing the idea that sincere prayer fosters a deeper connection with the Lord. It's a reminder of the personal and intimate nature of, believers to seek God with honesty and authenticity.

Then Moses said, "I pray that you will let me see you in all of Your Glory." The LORD answered, "All right I am the LORD, and I show Mercy and Kindness to anyone I choose. I will let see my Glory and hear my Holy Name, but I won't let you see my face, because anyone who sees my face will die. There is a rock not far from me. Stand beside it, and before I pass by in all of my shining Glory, I will put you in a large crack in the rock. I will cover your eyes with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back. You will not see my Face."

Below are heartfelt prayers that Moses expressed in Exodus 33:12-22:

Let me know Your plans to obey You and continue to please.
Do not forget that we are Yours.
Do not lead us from here if You are not going in of us.
If You go with us, everyone will that You are pleased with Your people and me.
We will different from the of the world. We belong to You.
Let me see you in all of Your Glory.

These prayers are powerful, personal, and purpose. They are emotional, emergency, and exceptional. They are needs, necessities, and supernatural. Let us ask God like Moses did by building a relationship, partnership, friendship and fellowship with Him in our daily lives. God be with us as always. Amen and Hallelujah.

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 
Shalom. 🙏🙏
Have a Good weekend too. 
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
