The call to prayer is the Father's invitation to enter into His presence. It is the
Father's invitation into the throne room. Prayer is the voice of faith to the Father.
Prayer is the Living Word on the lips of faith. Prayer gives a voice to our needs.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in
a time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)
Prayer allows us to come boldly into the Throne Room of the Father to receive
illumination and advanced knowledge to pray, as we ought to. Prayer is our
ability to stand in the gap and intercede for nations, cities, communities,
churches, leaders, families, and ordinary people so that the will of God can be
enforced over and above the plans of the enemy.
In the beginning, there was no need for prayer.
Man had unrestricted communion
and fellowship with God. Man spoke and whatever he said was established. He
named the animals and the woman with final authority. Whatever man needed,
God knew beforehand and supplied even before man asked. He provided a
garden, four rivers, substance for food and companionship. Man had dominion.
Making our requests known to God allows us to experience the manifestation of
God in our lives as well as discover what He is capable of doing. Prayer is a tool
and a weapon, which is available to anyone in Christ; in prayer we discover the
authority of the Name of Jesus and how to use it. We embrace the ability of the
One dwelling in us and we receive a revelation of our rights and privileges in
Christ.
This is the reason why Christ said:
“….men ought always to pray and not to faint.” (Luke 18:1b)
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
Mat 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
Mat 26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Mat 26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
Mat 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Mat 26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Mat 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Mat 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Mat 26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
Mat 26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
