My beloved ones,
You have forsaken My instruction to always pray and not give up.
You have not believed My words.
Haven’t I told you that if you ask you will receive? Have I not instructed you to be persistent? And yet you have grown tired of asking.
You have stopped asking.
You have stopped believing.
You have stopped hoping.
You gave up.
And in doing so, you have shut down heaven’s doors, keeping them from blessing the earth.
But now, come back to Me and enter your calling to be My persistent intercessor. Be one who persistently believes in Me. Enter your call to be the people in whom the earth is blessed.
Resurrect those prayer requests you had buried as dead and ask again.
Believe again. Bring again those prayers to Me. Oh, how thirsty I am for your prayers. Do not keep Me waiting.
Come, ask and keep on asking Me.
For I will reply.
Activation: Following on from yesterday’s activation, reflect on the forgotten prayer requests brought to mind and spend some time interceding. Also spend some time interceding for the church body, that those who have lost hope would also be encouraged today.
Parables on Prayer
Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart,
Luke 18:1 (AMP)
7 And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf?
8 I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?”
Luke 18:7-8 (AMP)
9 “So I say to you, ask and keep on asking, and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking, and you will find; knock and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who [a]keeps on asking [persistently], receives; and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [persistently], the door will be opened.
Luke 11:9-10 (AMP)
