Yes, thats my desire and for a long long time. I desire that the church of Jesus everywhere , in every nation to be a praying church. Look around us and in the churches today. How many go to a prayer meeting or even pray at home everyday? The prayer meetings are usually the worst attended meeting of the church. Sadly many are involved in other Christian ministry, in church activities but how many of us really pray on a daily basis and pray persistently as they will have spent on their church activities?Look at those from all the other major faiths. They will give up everything to pray. The Muslims pray 5 times everyday and will stop what they are doing to pray , even praying on the streets. The Buddhists pray often, and they are known to wake up at 4 am daily to pray. What about us…

When I thought about this subject all I could think of was Conundrum. It popped into my head. We speak and live in cognitive dissonance. What is puzzling is that we preach and claim the crucified life, but scripturally we dont seem to matchup. The scriptures mention a few things worth looking at.Matt 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. NIVThis begs the question does our righteous surpass that of the Pharisees?Luke 9:2325 Then he said to them all: If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for a man to…
