![Persevering in Prayer - We Choose to Stand on God's Side and Pray Persistently! [Picture: Col. 4:2, Persevere in Prayer, Watching in It with Thanksgiving]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/col4-2-persevere-in-prayer-with-thanksgiving.jpg?fit=300%2C187&ssl=1)
Prayer is a very important matter in our Christian life and in God’s economy. Without prayer and without persevering in prayer the truths in the Bible are merely doctrines we know in our mind, not our spiritual constitution and reality. Watchman Nee encourages us to not only hear the truth but pray the Word and […]
Seeing the Urgency of Growth in Life Unto Maturity for God to Gain His Army
![Seeing the Urgency of Growth in Life Unto Maturity for God to Gain His Army [In the Picture: The more we pray at the incense altar, the more we will prealize that the need for maturity is desperate, adn the greater will be the urgency to pray for the growth in life unto maturity.]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/pray-incense-altar-we-need-maturity.jpg?fit=300%2C197&ssl=1)
I am still pondering over Exodus 30, where God gives precise instructions on how to make the incense golden altar, and then immediately after that there’s the numbering of the people of Israel. This shows that the intercessory prayer at the incense altar issues in the numbering of God’s people that they would form an army to […]
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 […]
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 […]
Praying Toward God’s Interests so that God would Listen to Our Prayer
![Praying Toward God's Interests so that God would Listen to Our Prayer [in the picture: 1 Kings 8:48-49, praying toward God's land, His house, and His city]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/1kings8-48-49-pray-toward-gods-house-gods-interest.jpg?fit=300%2C222&ssl=1)
Have you ever wondered, What kind of prayers does God listen to and answer? As Christians we pray for a lot of things, but how do we know that God will listen to our prayers? In the Bible we see a very important principle concerning prayer: God will listen to our prayers if our prayers […]
Prayer is the Real Denying of the Self, the Real: No Longer I But Christ!
![Prayer is the Real Denying of the Self, the Real: No Longer I But Christ! [in the picture: Gal. 2:20]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/i-no-longer-live-but-christ-lives-in-me-gal2-20.jpg?fit=300%2C300&ssl=1)
God needs men of prayer, men who habitually and continually pray by exercising their spirit to pray themselves into God and receive His life supply. Prayer is so full of meaning, it accomplishes so much, and it is so much overlooked and neglected! To pray really means that we as Christians realize that by ourselves, […]
A Man of Prayer Prays Himself Into God to Receive the Life Supply from Him
![If we sense that our prayer is not bringing us into the Triune God, we should change the way we pray. We need to make sure that we pray ourselves into God! Remove all distractions and focus only on Him. Just be honest with God, tell Him, ask Him, seek Him, and knock on His door. [Picture: Matt. 6:9-10]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/matt6-9-10-your-name-sanctified-kingdom-come.jpg?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1)
The Lord Jesus taught us how to pray in Luke 11:1-13, where we see that for us to be men of prayer we need to pray ourselves into God to receive the life supply from the Father. The more we pray the Lord’s prayer with an exercised spirit, and the more we pray according to […]
