![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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Praying One with Christ at the Incense Altar for God’s Administration to be Executed
![Christ's prayer life is the center of God's execution of His government on the earth. Here at the incense altar we are in our "heavenly White House" (USA reference), or the "heavenly No. 10 Downing Street" (UK reference) - the intercession of Christ is God's White House, God's No. 10 Downing Street, where God has His center of operation in the universe. [In the picture: If we have a clear view of the incense altar, we will pray for God's move, for the executing of God's purpose, for the Lord's recovery, for the carrying out of the divine administration and for the divine dispensing; this kind of prayer fulfills God's purpose and delights His heart. ]](https://i0.wp.com/www.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/clear-view-incense-altar-gods-move-gods-purpose.jpg?fit=300%2C197&ssl=1)
Have you ever wondered, How comes I am a Christian and So-and-So is not? He may be a better person than me, but for some reason I believe in God while he doesn’t yet or even refuses to. It is not our seeking for God and our hunger for reality that primarily brought us to […]
