The Spirit Of Prayer – 1

Apostle Grace Lubega

Luke 18:1(KJV); And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.

Years ago, before we learnt the truth about communion and blessed fellowship with God, we always fainted in prayer.

We counted minutes in prayer and wondered absentmindedly why the clock ticked slowest when we were praying. That was fainting in prayer.

In those moments, we interceded for our parents and our siblings, our relatives on the maternal side and on the paternal side, our neighbours, and our neighbours’ relatives.

A whole twenty minutes later, we would then wonder idly who else needed their issues mentioned before God. That was fainting in prayer.

In those times, we occupied ourselves with the thought that everyone else was watching us pray and so we had to put on a good show, acting the presence of God and yet we were our only audience; not even God was.

That was fainting in prayer.

You can never learn to pray until you know God.

You may mumble things to Him in a monologue but you will not be truly praying.

Until you understand the eternal realm of God, time will always be a factor when it comes to the things of God.

In true prayer and communion, earthly time literally freezes as the eternal things fill one’s experience.

May you learn to pray in this understanding.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for this instruction in prayer. I embrace this understanding and choose to pray daily in this knowledge. I know that in the many things prayer is, it is also about the place from where I pray. I am an eternal spirit and so I choose never to pray from the earth but from the heavenly places; I learn from He who lives to make intercession for the saints; I tap into heavenly conversations. To the glory of your name. Amen.
