‘How’ and ‘When’ We Pray
Ephesians 8:16 (NLT) Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

The reason many prayers don’t get answered is because they are prayed in the flesh. When we pray at no other time than when we have exhausted every other means of getting what we want, our prayer offering does not have a favorable scent to God. I will go as far to say that the odor causes Him to turn His ear away from us. The Apostle Paul teaches us that we are to ‘pray in the Spirit – pray in Jesus – and pray all the time for every reason’! This is ‘how’ we tune into the realm of Kingdom truth and power! We are to pray in the spiritual posture of God’s divine and complete care over all matters – having no concern of how large, small, near or far away they are. For this is ‘when’ divine power has access. God is working throughout the earth right along with our prayer life. Do you value your prayer life? Are you a lukewarm prayer warrior or a prayer warrior who’s on fire for the Lord?                  Keep your prayers active and your spirit open and ready for the power of God to come through.
