It’s time to ignite the fire of prayer worldwide!
God is beginning to move in revival around the world. Here in Kansas City there is an awakening among the young people. This awakening is not just for Kansas City. God wants to begin to move in power all throughout the earth. Prayer and a devoted heart is key to revival. We must learn to live a devote life. Colossians 4:2 says, “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.”
Christians often have the problem of living on the surface, the visible level. It’s a temptation we must all face. The outward is most immediate for our attention. It demands our time and energy. We can feel trapped by the tyranny of the urgent. The battleground of the ages is activity - It’s Satan’s great strategy - If he can keep us constantly active, he has gotten us - We are no longer captain of our souls, and easily sink. An impulsive desire of mankind is to avoid concentration on God. It’s so easy to work for Him any day than to let Him work in us.
David said in Psalm 27:14, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord”. In waiting David demonstrated dependence. He listened and he waited while he watched over the flock. He knew how to draw on God’s resources (Psalm 63:8). He knew how to receive from God in solitude. Fountains of living water come from the interior. God wants to build dependence and quality from the inside out. David learned how to battled for his nation in God’s strength, not his own.
Are you tempted not to make prayer and devotion to Christ your first ambition in life? Does the devil tempt you to focus on the externals of life rather than what is most important. Are you tempted this year to run around in endless activity or are you learning to listen to the still, small voice of God. Keeping Jesus as Lord of our life is the best way you and I can live in 2010. Let’s keep Jesus in the center and cultivate a devoted heart.
