Prayer is the price you have to pay to break through. When you don’t see prayer as a priority, you will not be able to pray. When the world’s noise is getting louder, tune it down with prayer. There is no institution of man that is not founded on the principles of spirituality. Every man stands on a spiritual ground, we pray by learning how to pray. The secret to prayer is praying in secret. Prayer is a spiritual exercise and it is by the Holy Spirit. Every man that understands prayer has learnt the discipline of the secret place. Prayer is by the spirit, it is not a mortal business as such, when a man contacts the spirit of prayer he becomes a spirit. When you begin to touch prayer, it begins to tune down the desires of your flesh. When you cannot pray, you cannot know secret. Men of prayer are men of secrets, they keep the secret of God.
When you don’t have the spirit of prayer, you will pray amiss. You can’t put God In a box, to a man that doesn’t have the spirit of God, prayer is foolishness. You will commit sin when you cannot pray. Genuine prayer opens heaven and brings down the rain of the spirit. Prayer brings the brooding of the Holyghost. Prayer should be done continually out of your comfort zone, don’t get comfortable in the place of prayer. Multitude cannot handle prayer, you have to be separated to be able to pray effectively. Prayer brings about separation, although prayer could be collective but the greatest intercessors of all times are lonely men. That is men who have been separated.
Prayer should be done alone, because multitude will not allow you pray. Multitudes tend to bring about distraction in the place of prayer, and distraction is the greatest barrier to prayer. Prayer is solitary, prayer is alone. You have to learn to be alone to learn how to pray. If you cannot withdraw yourself from people to pray, then you won’t be able to pray. Prayer is what you soar with, you must be a spirit if you want to meet with the demand of prayer.
There is no laziness in the place of prayer, when you are lazy then you are at the mercy of the wickedness of this world, the devil and it’s cohort. Every believer ought to pray without ceasing, Jesus commanded us to pray always.
