Constant in Prayer and Fasting

Let your prayers turn into worship. So many run to the Most High when things are not going well. Have you ever considered that he is allowing things to not go so well so that he will hear from you? The word encourages us to pray without ceasing. That would imply that our prayers have nothing to so with the circumstances that are occurring in our lives but rather are about communication with our creator.  Giving time, attention, and focus to the one who grants our breath.

Idolatry occurs when you put anything before The Most High. Even your crisis...

In the midst of the storm when the men who had walked with Christ thought they were going to die he didn't awaken and calm them down, He didn't try to hear their concerns, he didn't even ask what their thoughts on the how or whys of them being in this storm. He asked where is your Faith?  Luke 8:25  



Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.


When you pray you must have laid a foundation that will give you confidence that you are approaching the throne correctly and that your Father will hear you. Living in a manner that is pleasing unto The Most High.  Does your conscience convict you or excuse you?
1 John 1:9, John 8:29,1 Timothy 1:5 , Romans 2:15

Hebrews 10:22 - Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Constant in Prayer. Not allowing the cares or situations that you find yourself in to stop you from prayer. Allowing your prayer to become worship. Knowing He will carefully watch for you.1 Peter 5:7

Luke 18:3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward, he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

Jeremiah 33:3 - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Isaiah 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.


2 Corinthians 1:6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

Nehemiah 4:9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

Psalms 88:2 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

Psalms 109:4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

Matthew 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

2 Corinthians 9:14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

 From KJV online commentary-
Philippians 1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, "Prayer may be oral or mental, occasional or constant," "ejaculatory or formal. It is a "beseeching the Lord" (Ex." "32:11); "pouring out the soul before the Lord" (1 Sam. 1:15);" "praying and crying to heaven (2 Chr. 32:20); "seeking unto God" "and making supplication" (Job 8:5); "drawing near to God" (Ps." "73:28); "bowing the knees" (Eph. 3:14)." "Prayer presupposes a belief in the personality of God, his "ability and willingness to hold intercourse with us, his" personal control of all things and of all his creatures and all their actions. "Acceptable prayer must be sincere (Heb. 10:22), offered with "reverence and godly fear, with a humble sense of our own" insignificance as creatures and of our own unworthiness as "sinners, with earnest importunity, and with unhesitating" submission to the divine will. Prayer must also be offered in "the faith that God is, and is the hearer and answerer of prayer," "and that he will fulfil his word, "Ask, and ye shall receive" "(Matt. 7:7, 8; 21:22; Mark 11:24; John 14:13, 14), and in the" "name of Christ (16:23, 24; 15:16; Eph. 2:18; 5:20; Col. 3:17; 1" Pet. 2:5). "Prayer is of different kinds, secret (Matt. 6:6)"Prayer is like the dove that Noah sent forth, which blessed him "not only when it returned with an olive-leaf in its mouth, but" "when it never returned at all.", Robinson's Job."
