‘Our prayers lay the track down which God’s power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails,’ wrote Watchman Nee.
One of the obstacles to the power of God in our life can be trusting in things other than God. In some ways, faith and wealth are like oil and water. They are hard to mix and do not often go together.
Prayer is not just a monologue. It is a dialogue. God speaks to you as you pray.
Look at everything going on around you with the eyes of the Spirit. As D.L. Moody said, ‘The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe.’
‘Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity,’ wrote Simone Weil. This applies to all relationships including your relationship with God.
Listen to what the Lord says about it all. In your two-way communication with God, what he says to you is more important than what you say to him.
It is not enough just to see and hear. We must obey. Be willing to say what God tells you to say.
