God said in His Holy Word that "My house is a house
of prayer". A healthy prayer life is an essential element in a
true Christian's life and is absolutely critical to someone working
in any area of ministry.
We have found that praying does not necessarily
come "normally" to Christians and has at times been somewhat "watered
down" in modern Christianity. The simple "Lord I lay myself down
to sleep" prayer may be fine for children and, although much better
than nothing at all, should never be considered a healthy prayer
life for a Christian adult.
Jesus himself prayed with loud crying and tears.
Paul suggested that we pray as he does, with uplifted hands without
wrath or doubting. In fact the Bible suggests that we should "pray
without ceasing". In ministry, the work is done by God through
the workings of the Holy Spirit, not by man. A Christian's link
to this spiritual realm, the realm in which God resides, is through
prayer. Without the type of relationship with the Holy Spirit
that comes through much fasting and prayer a minister may not
be able to effectively minister and will most likely not be subject
to what God is wanting to do in a particular situation.
Praying is an essential, integral part of Freedom
Life Ministries. Everyone involved in this ministry spends a lot
of time in prayer, both individually and corporately. We not only
consider it to be an absolute necessity for ministry but also
a priviledge that man has not always had and therefore an aspect
of a Christian's life that should not be taken lightly.
