I have been in a very deep place of prayer lately and I decided to preach a series on prayer at my church. What I did not see coming was how God was shifting my personal prayer life.
While in prayer I distinctly heard the Holy Spirit say "pray 3 hours a day". Now I've heard stories of people that were able to pray for 4, 6, or even 8 hours a day but I didn't see myself even being remotely close to praying that long.
Never the less I began. I would pray in the Holy Spirit. This is our heavenly prayer language that I will share more about in a later blog. I would pray in the Holy Spirit 5 minutes at a time, then 10 minutes at a time. The next thing you know I found times where I would pray a full 90 minutes.
As I began to pray revelation would come in my spirit. I would begin to have deeper understanding and instructions on what God desired of me. I would journal all of the revelation I received until I had to make a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.
I can say I have more peace, focus, revelation, and power from this time of prayer than I've ever had. I want you to take your prayer life to new levels. I want you to get on fire about hearing directly from the Holy Spirit the instructions for your life.
While in prayer it has been confirmed in my spirit the desire for us to continue God's work through missions.
One of the pillars of my church Faith Forward Church is "Impacting Nations" where we give 10% of our annual giving to support the ministry of Jesus Christ throughout the World.
You can always support these causes at my site www.revjrich.com or our church www.faithmove.org.
As we pray let's pray for the Glory of God to fill all corners of the Earth and to change lives through the power of our prayers.
As you increase your time in prayer my hope is that the Holy Spirit speaks to you and gives you revelation, wisdom, and knowledge.
