Persistent Prayer

Urgent persistent prayer involves your whole soul being. It is a mighty movement of your whole soul toward God.

"You will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me  with all your heart,I will be found by you " - Jer.29:12-14.

Bounds said, "Heaven is too busy to listen to half-hearted prayers". God cannot tolerate lukewarmness. Prayer finds flame. It is the fiery intercessors who conquer. Desire is the flame within; intercession is the flame leaping out to God.

John 3:3

. Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Quotes

. Praying is no easy matter.  It demands a relationship in which you allow someone other than yourself to enter into the very center of your being, and to see there what you would rather leave in darkness, to touch there what you would rather leave untouched. - Henri Nouwen

. The Lord will either calm your storm or allow it to rage while He calms you.

Hebrews 12:25

See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?

With the gift of Jesus comes an awesome responsibility: we must listen, follow, and honor him! If God demanded that his people obey his lesser messengers who were prophets or kings, what do you think the responsibility is for us to listen when he has emptied heaven of his Son's glory so that it might shine on us?
