A STRANGER TO PRAYER IS A STRANGER TO GOD!
As they are enthusiastic about TV drama every day, there are many people around us who are passing every move of the heroes. In other words, they are a great fan. They may know the personal taste of their favorite entertainers as if they are looking at it, but will the performer know his name as well as his face? If there is a thing to encounter on the street, I will be happy to run cheering and shouting cheerfully, but the entertainer must be passing by while seeing a small chicken. There are a few things around us. But you will think that it has nothing to do with you. Is it so? You may think God is very close, but in fact, it may be a crushing situation. So let's dig it up today.
Because God is spirit, the way of communion with your soul is prayer and the Word. However, it is different from reading the book, listening to the sermon, studying the Bible, building up the Bible knowledge, and coming to the bottom of the Bible's enlightenment. If the knowledge of the Bible comes down to the heart by enlightenment, the Holy Spirit can grant grace. Prayer is an indispensable pathway to fellowship with God. Fellowship should communicate and exchange feelings with the other party. But even in our church there are not many prayers, but even prayers are not a prayer to fellowship with God, but rather as a means of screaming loudly and getting their desired list from God. These people seem to be praying, but not exactly speaking. God does not listen to the prayers of these people. However, people in the visible world can see if they are listening to their stories, but because God is spirit, they are invisible to the eyes of the flesh. So there are many reasons for our church to work hard in prayer that God does not listen to. They are mistaken that God is listening if they pray.
I have been filled with the burnt offering of the ram and the fat of the fatted animal, and I am not pleased with the blood of the bullock or the lamb or the goat. Do not bring back vain sacrifices, for I am abominable. It is also the moonlight and the sabbaths, and the gathering in the synagogues, and I can not bear to do evil in addition to the temple. I hate the appointed season, because it is a heavy burden to me, and I have been blinded. When I stretch out my hands, I will hide my eyes from you, and although you will pray a lot, I will not listen; for your blood is full of your hands. " 1: 11-15)
There are two daughters in the leech, and they are all coming (Proverbs 30:15)
The LORD is far from the wicked, and he hears the prayer of the righteous. (Proverbs 15:29)
Unlike our thoughts, God does not say that we listen to our prayers. He who listens to prayer is not a sacrificial prayer, but a follower of God's will. God is pleased with these people and is responding to prayer as a righteous person. But there is no such thing in our church. They are only listing early morning prayers, Friday night prayers, intent prayers, fasting prayers. So, did your prayer, which has made such a prayer faithful, answer? If you live without concern with God, and if you have trouble, you cry before God.
A person who is most pleased with God is a person who usually deeply and intimately communicates with God. Their prayer is not a prayer to list their greed, but a person who calls out the name of God and eagerly searches for it, and fulfills most of his life with thanksgiving, praise, repentance, and glory. However, those who do not pray like this are unfamiliar with the prayer of seeking and calling God. So, a few times, I go back to prayer to repeat the old prayer list. If you are unfamiliar with the prayer of singing, praising, thanking, and glorifying God, you are nothing but an intimate relationship with God.
What is the reason you think you are intimate with God? Is it the biblical interpretation of arbitrary interpretation? If you insist that you have an intimate relationship with God, you should show it as evidence, change, power, and fruit with the Holy Spirit. But if you do not have the power of faith and live hard and furious, you are nothing to do with God. That is why praying to God is something awkward and unfamiliar. So people forget to pray regularly every day. And it is replaced by formal religious ceremony and sacrificial faith act. A Christian who does not pray is no better than a fan of fans who love an entertainer. You know the entertainer well, but the entertainer does not even know you are living in the world. Christians who do not pray deeply and intimately with the Holy Spirit do not know Him at all.
Everyone who says to me, 'Lord, I will not enter the kingdom of heaven, but all who do according to the will of my Father who is in heaven.' In that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, we are prophets in your name and follow your demons in your name. And I have not done much power in thy name. Then I will say unto them, Yea, I know ye not: for ye walk in unlawful ways ye shall leave me. "(Matthew 7: 21-23)
And the bridegroom came to them, and the bridegroom came, and they went together into the marriage banquet, and the door was shut. Then the remaining virgins came and said, Lord, Lord, open them unto us, saying: Verily I say unto you, I do not know you. (Matthew 25: 10-12)
The disciples who said Jesus did not know were the disciples who followed Him Lord, and once revealed miracles and miracles as they prophesied with their amazing powers. Also, the five virgins without oil were the people who waited all night for the bridegroom. But is not it marvelous that the groom does not know them? If you are Lord and Lord, you are walking hard on the church yard, waiting for Jesus as the Bridegroom, but without the Holy Spirit (oil), you are only a person whom Jesus does not know. If prayer is now unfamiliar to God, that will happen to you without exceptions.
