WITHOUT CEASING
“Pray without ceasing”- 1Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing, this is a short but powerful instruction, that keeps us in consciousness of our fellowship with God.
Praying without ceasing means praying at all times. Every time, any time, anywhere and everywhere. It’s not what to do at a specific period or place, though a specific period and place can be set out for it for no interference of any other thing or activities. But the act of praying is meant to be an all time thing.
For the purpose of clarity, praying is fellowshipping with God, communicating or chatting with God. Speaking to him and him speaking to you too. And this communication is a manifold one, there is discussion, asking, thanking, confessions all in alignment with His words. This should be done at all times. You might not be asking for something, but can be discussing with Him from His word. You might not even do that but confessing His words or thanking Him for all He has done physically and most importantly for all that which is written in His words about you in Christ. Doing all these will help stay conscious and utilize the fellowship we have with God by the word and the spirit. And when you do this with an open heart and sensitivity, God get back to you, it’s not a one way discussion but in two ways.
Also, we can’t talk about prayers without talking about the Holy Spirit, who has been given to the believer to help in the place of prayer, alongside help in other area because He is the believers helper. Depend on Him, surrender to Him and open your mouth to speak in the spirit (tongues) as He gives you utterance. With that, you are speaking to God and issues are been addressed about you in accordance to His word with Him also speaking back to you.
You can’t pray too much, because it’s an all time thing, engage in the act of prayer to Him in the authority and righteousness you have in Christ.
DECLARATION: I pray without ceasing and enjoy the communications with my father in it.
