When we pray, we must be still and know that God is the I Am that I Am. Prayer is a spiritual exercise where man makes utterances, and God gives answers.
(Isaiah 42:18-20)
For many people, the answer is knocking and they are still praying and doubting.
The foundation of an effective prayer life is the realization that prayer is a two-way communication. Matthew 7:7-8, Psalm 145:18
God is not far from us when we pray.
It’s not enough for us to travail in prayer but we must diligently hearken for the voice of the Lord to respond in prayer. Deuteronomy 28:1, 1 Kings 19:11-12.
To perceive God’s voice, you must pay attention diligently. Psalm 46:10 – Be still, and know that I am God.
We live in a noisy world – both external and internal noise. Philippians 4:6-7.
There is an internal stillness that allows us to pick what God is saying at any point in time.
We must learn how to silence the noise of our world in other to pick the voice of His word.
2 Corinthians 10:5. We must learn to cast down the things that are contending with our access.
We must learn to be still, in order to access the voice of God.
In Acts 27:21-25, Paul was able to hear God, even in the storm after a long abstinence from noise around him.
Silence the noise around you, and God’s voice will be loud in your heart.
Anytime you want to pray, and you hear the noise in your heart, cast down your imagination, and expect a conversation from God. Always carry a note with you.
Enjoy the power of the conversation in your prayers.
