If you are losing the passion for praying and you observe the time you spend in prayers going down.\u00a0 Let me remind you it\u2019s a direct attack from the enemy.\u00a0 \u00a0Because if he can lower the fire, slowly he can begin to douse it.\u00a0 He can destroy it.\u00a0 You will kind of feel satisfied that you\u2019re in the religious exercise of praying but there is no change.\u00a0 There is no change in you, there is no change in circumstances, and there is no change in your profession.\u00a0 There is no evidence of the hand of God.\u00a0 Well, there is something wrong.\u00a0 For example, when somebody loses appetite for food what does that mean there is something wrong with your body?\u00a0 When we as born-again Christians lose our appetite for the things of God.\u00a0 Lose our appetite to pray, lose our appetite for the word.\u00a0 There is something wrong spiritually.\u00a0 You can be writing on the wave called I\u2019m born again but spiritually you\u2019ll be depleting and discouraged.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will even be frustrated and sometimes you will even think it\u2019s a waste of time going to church.\u00a0 This is how the enemy attacks you.\u00a0 So, it\u2019s very important that we must begin to develop a strong effective prayer life.\u00a0 Prayer is not to change God, not to cause him to change his mind, not to change others.\u00a0 Prayer is the first to change me.\u00a0 So, when I pray much in the Holy Ghost, the first person that God deals with is not others, not my circumstances, but he deals with me.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget that.\u00a0 Because he is trying to improve and work on you to make you a better version of yourself.\u00a0 So, do not neglect, to pray for at least an hour every day in the Holy Ghost.\u00a0 That\u2019s a minimum.\u00a0 You will not understand but it\u2019s okay.\u00a0 Because when you pray in the Holy Ghost for an hour something is happening that you will not be able to recognize.\u00a0 But If you consistently do this and you\u2019re constantly in this, the evidence will be observed by others.\u00a0 How much have you grown from the day you were born again? How is your prayer life compared to when you were born again? What is the depth of the knowledge or the word of God you have from the time you were born again?\u00a0 You may say that you have grown but the real evidence is when others say that you\u2019ve grown.\u00a0 There should be a testimony of something that\u2019s happening in your life.\u00a0 Prayer has to be very personal and passionate. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you are praying and your heart and your emotion are not involved, you are not effectively praying.\u00a0 You are religiously praying. And many of us are not seeing results because our prayers have become very religious.\u00a0 Even praying in tongues is become very mechanical.\u00a0 It\u2019s important that you begin to pray and yield to the Holy Spirit where your emotions and your heart are involved in it.\u00a0 Many times, we don\u2019t feel like praying but then if you sit down and you began to thank the Lord, slowly under your breath, Thank, you Jesus, Thank, you Lord, when you begin to do that after a while something, will begin to happen and then slowly but surely you began to see and sense that thing becomes stronger.\u00a0 We must begin to develop that intimacy with God.\u00a0 Shares his secrets with only those people he has an intimate relationship.\u00a0\u00a0 You might have many friends but do you reveal everything about your life to all your friends? No.\u00a0 But there are certain friends to whom you will reveal certain things that nobody else knows.\u00a0 Why? It depends on the level of trust, and the level of intimacy you have developed with that person.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Why will God share what is in his heart if you do not intimate with him?\u00a0 \u00a0We all want him to share. But would he share? Can he trust you?\u00a0 So, we must begin to develop a deep intimate relationship with him. \u00a0It\u2019s not going to God only for our needs, not going to God only for the pressures we face in life, or the challenges we have, or just because we want a promotion or just because we want a business to grow.\u00a0 No, all of that will be taken care of when I seek him.\u00a0 So, I need to allocate time and give preference to God and spend time in his presence and his word in prayer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has to be a transformation.\u00a0 James chapter 5 verse 16<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u201cIt says, \u201cThe effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availed much<\/strong>.\u00a0 The effectual fervent, \u201cHeartfelt<\/strong>\u201d is another translation.\u00a0 Heartfelt prayers<\/strong>, are not just religious prayers where you make confessions a thousand times without your heart being involved.\u00a0 God is not moved or impressed by the amount of time you spend religiously in his presence. It has to be heartfelt.\u00a0 It\u2019s got to be burnt from a heart that longs for God.\u00a0 That desire for God.\u00a0 It has to be an intimate relationship.\u00a0 So, let us come together my brothers and sisters let us say.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God draw me closer to you<\/strong>.  Because the bible is said, \u201cUnless the lord quickens me, I cannot even pray.\u201d<\/strong>   So, I need the Holy Spirit God to stir in.   That\u2019s why I come and say, \u201cLord I am feeling cold.  I don\u2019t feel like praying but I know it\u2019s important and I love you, father. So please help me Holy Ghost that I can pray with passion.  Lord touch me on the inside Lord Do something that I can draw closer to you<\/strong>.  Lord unless you draw me, I can\u2019t come so, help me Holy Ghost because my flesh is dominating.  I want my flesh to be crucified and my spirit man to be strengthened so I can draw closer and have a more intimate relationship with you, Father,<\/strong> that should be the cry God draw me closer<\/strong>.  Song of Solomon 1 chapter verse 4 \u201cDraw me and we will run after thee\u201d.  When I am drawn to the lord, the lord draws me into his chamber. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cross-2713353_1920\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone is invited to the chamber.  Only when you have intimacy with God some things are said, some things shared.  Nobody else is permitted to see or hear.  When God draws us and the spirit moves us into that chamber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord draw me near, take me into your chamber oh lord,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help me lord to have an intimate fellowship and relationship with you where I can hear what you\u2019re saying, experience what you are giving me lord God.  Lord thank you, Jesus.  Thank you, Father.    Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
