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.
