There must be something about prayer that we need to watch with persistence in it, since both the Lord Jesus and Paul charges us to do so. At the end of Colossians and Ephesians, Paul encourages us to persevere in prayer and pray at every time in spirit – watching unto this in all perseverance (Eph. 6:18)! […]
Enjoying the Benefits of Daily Persevering in Prayer with the Lord
![Through prayer we set our mind on the things which are above, where Christ is (Col. 3:2). The best way to wet our mind on the things in the heavens is through prayer. [In the picture: Whether or not our prayer is answered is secondary. The primary thing is that grace flows like a river from the throne and into our being.]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/primary-thing-grace-flows-like-a-river.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1)
Persevering in prayer has many benefits, enriching both our spiritual life and our relationship with the Lord and with the Body of Christ. If we mean business with the Lord and make a vow before Him concerning our prayer life, and then we daily practice to have set times of prayer in which prayer is […]
Making a Deal with the Lord About our Prayer Life and Setting Definite Times of Prayer
Our experience as Christians confirms that there is a fierce battle in this universe between God and Satan, and particularly when we want to pray there are so many things and people and situations that rise up to not let us pray. As lovers of Christ we want to pray, we desire to pray, and […]
Praying at the Incense Altar for the Formation of an Army to Fight for God’s Move

God has a purpose and a move on the earth, and for Him to accomplish His purpose He needs His people to pray one with Him. In the Old Testament God moved with the tabernacle in the midst of His people, and the purpose of our journey into God to enjoy all that He has […]
Cooperating with Christ in His Ministry of Intercession by Praying at the Incense Altar

We today as the many members of the Body of Christ have the privilege and the responsibility to be one with Our interceding Head, joining into His interceding ministry by praying at the incense altar for what is in God’s heart. When Christ was on the earth, the disciples were usually falling asleep as He […]
Not Hindering God Anymore but Being Fully Responsive to Him for Him to Work
![We need the Lord to shine on us both individually and corporately as the church that we may see, in His light, what He can do AND what we can hinder Him from doing. [In the picture: The Lord must bring us to a place of utter responsiveness to Himself so that He can have a free and unhindered way to do whatever He wants to do, Watchman Nee]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/a-place-of-utter-responsiveness-to-god-unhindered-way.jpg?fit=300%2C199&ssl=1)
I am impressed and humbled to see how much God is limited to man’s cooperation. God is omnipotent and He can do everything He wants, but His omnipotence is limited because His church on earth does not release His power and His will. God needs to have certain conditions suitable for His working, and then […]
A Man of Prayer Waits Constantly Before God and Intercedes for What’s on His Heart
![When Sarah (who was 90 years old) heard that God promised Abraham that she would have a son, she laughed. Humanly it is impossible for someone that old to still conceive.

In Gen. 18 we see how God came to visit His friend Abraham in a human form, and He spent some time with him to eat together and converse together. Abraham was one who was dealt with by the Lord and he learned the lesson of not being hasty to ask God for things or […]
