Prayer must be your breath...!

Matthew 17:19-21 NKJV

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.  However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

† Shalom †......! Day #45. Do you know that power comes only through prayer and fasting? Let us pray. Father,  as we continue to seek You, we pray that You will rain down Your Holy Spirit upon us. Build us up on Your firm foundation.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends,  the disciples of Jesus, came to Him asking why the were not to cast out the demon and Jesus answered, " this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Again Jesus is emphasizing on prayer. Prayer is the most important part of a believer's life. Without prayer he is total zero and powerless.  When you pray, there's power. When you take time to soak in His presence in aggressive and intense wall breaking prayer, praying in the Spirit, then you shall see the power of God coming upon you. When you take time to prepare yourself for ministry, I believe that you don't just say an instant noodles prayer and start your ministry. You would actually take time, hours of praying time and seek God for His direction and to hear His voice.

Why the disciples of Jesus were not able to cast out the demon is because they didn't pray. If you don't pray, how do you suppose to have power? They might think that "since Jesus is with us, why we need to seek the Father?" Or maybe they think "hey the Boss is in the house, if we cannot do it, then the Boss can do it," or may be because they think that Jesus was "just another Rabbi." I don't know, I'm just assuming it. However, being a believer we must not think that "hey since I'm a Christian now, therefore why should I pray, because God knows what I need even before I pray...bla bla bla..." You are wrong. Why do you need to pray? Because prayer is your two ways communication with God. You pray He listens, then He speaks you listen. Through prayer you receive power, the power of the Holy Spirit. 80% of billions of Christian's on earth are powerless because they don't pray! But thank God for those who pray! Friends, prayer must be your breath. Without prayer, you will die spiritually. God bless you...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
