Tuesday 19 September
READ: Isa. 55: 1-6
MORE LESSON: Joel. 2:28-29
The conclusion of our study of Jesus' pattern of prayer therefore is to pray in order to find help to pray like Jesus prayed. We need His grace, unction, tenacity, and result. You must not stop asking for the power to pray until you can pray like Him, and pray till you see Him face to face. This thirst must not end until there is no more need to pray. Indeed, the more we pray, the more we must cry for help to pray. After all, Jesus still prays even now that He is at the right hand of the Father. In spite of His exploits on the earth, the wonderful reward for His works and the exalted throne He now occupies, He is still praying. So pray and continue to pray. God who gave Him grace will give you if you ask.
Prayer will change your night to day, move mountains, deal with the devil, connect you directly with the Father and keep you permanently at His right hand of power. Prayer reveals the secrets of God and men; it takes away your burden, pain and keeps you from sin. It has remained the secret of the success of many, including Jesus. Oh, that Jesus will teach and help us to pray. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, they were not asking for a one time capability.
They wanted something that they had seen in Jesus; they wanted the Spirit of prayer, not just one act, that made Jesus pray and pray. With Jesus now at the right hand of the Father, still making intercession, the Spirit of prayer will fall on any one who dares to ask.
Beloved, we have a standing promise in today's study. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price: Isa. 55:1. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me: Prov. 8:17.
He is a faithful God that promised, and He will meet every thirsty soul with abundance. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses: Isa. 44:3-4.
Today, stand up and claim these promises and let the zeal of the Lord fall upon you. Welcome ye the spirit of prayer!
