There Is No Gods Blessings If You Don't Pray. Series

Prayer is the backbone of a Christian's daily life with the Almighty God. Prayer interfaces us to God, supplication is a functioning method to adore and connect with others, and supplication makes room in the implorer's heart for God's rectifying voice. The Bible says to "Pray Continually and constantly " (1 Thessalonians 5:17), so something besides other than a continual attitude of prayer, supplication, and fellowship with God is sin. Anything that interferes with our connection and closeness with God or prompts independence isn't right.

We could take look at Adam and Eve's actions in Genesis 3 as a sort of prayerlessness. They eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and are too embarrassed to even think about talking with the Lord as He comes to meet them in the Garden. They are separated from God in their wrongdoing, their communication with Him has interfered. Adam and Eve's "prayerlessness" was sin, and it was a transgression. Also, sin is inherited through them to the world.

Would you be able to envision somebody professing to be your dearest companion and never conversing with you? Whatever fellowship was there would positively be stressed. Essentially, a relationship with God is devastated and exhausted without prayer and personal relationships. Prayerlessness is contradictory to a decent connection with God. God people will want to speak with their Lord and savior ““In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly" (Psalm 5:3). The scriptural orders to supplicate are joined by magnificent guarantees: "The Lord is close to all who approach him, to all who approach him in truth" (Psalm 145:18).

Christ is our best illustration of determining how to pray. He always prayed in everything. He, himself was a man of prayer and supplication (Luke 3:21; 5:16; 9:18, 28; 11:1), and He encouraged His followers to implore (Luke 11:2-4). If the Son of Man saw a personal need to pray, how much more should we see the same need in ourselves?

Prayerlessness overlooks the endowment of mediation that God has given us. We are called to pray to God for our brothers and sisters in Christ (James 5:16). Paul frequently requested the supplications of God's People on his behalf (Ephesians 1:16; Colossians 1:9). The prophet Samuel saw prayers on behalf of the people of Israel as a necessary part of his ministry: "As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you" (1 Samuel 12:23). According to Samuel, prayerlessness is a sin.

Prayerlessness is rebellion toward God. Prayerlessness is defiance toward God's command to love others. And we are not only to pray for people who are easy to pray for. "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people" (1 Timothy 2:1). Jesus tells us that we must also pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). This is the message of Christ, to love and support everyone with prayer, even those who are hard to love. We are supposed to pray at all times.

Petition accounts for the amending voice of God. Prayerlessness debilitates our capacity to hear Christ when He whispers words of correction or conviction to our spirits. Hebrews 12:2 reminds us that Christ is the "pioneer and perfecter of faith." Without His Spirit living in our hearts, we would be on a rough road following our own judgments. As we pray for God's will to be done "on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10), the contrariness of our own will is uncovered.

Matthew 26:41 offers another caution: "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. Prayerlessness clouds our hearts to the allurements encompassing us and prompts further sin. We simply become wise to the methods of our souls through the Spirit's enlightenment and direction. Also, it's just in the Spirit's force that our prayers and petitions are successful (Romans 8:26-27).

Prayer is our lifesaver and connection with God. Christ showed something contrary to prayerlessness in His stroll on the planet and demonstrated a Prayer filled life. God's Word, commands us to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. Finally, we are to humble ourselves and pray, and seek God's face and turn from sins and temptations. God wants us to genuinely pray from our hearts as God hates wicked prayers. Prayer is trusting God, by placing our worries, burdens, fears, and concerns upon Him so that he can deliver us from all evil and afflictions.
