FAITH CAPSULE: There are places to watch and pray.
Psalm 14, 47
The expectation for manifestation is the identity of one with an understanding of God.
The evidence of living life to the glory of God is your spiritual empowerment, which is the place of watching and praying.
What is the place of watching and praying to rule your world?
The place of watching and praying is to:
Pray with understanding.
Pray continually.
Pray with understanding:
Praying with understanding is seeking God to find Him.
The word of God admonishes, “For God is the king of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.” (Psalm 47:7)
Just as praising God demands understanding, so is praying or thanking.
Jesus, at the time of His parables, wanted to know if there is understanding, “…Are you also still without understanding?” (Matthew 15:16)
The importance of having an understanding is the reason that “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.” (Psalm 14:2)
Are you praying with understanding, knowing that your prayer time is a waiting time on God, who waits to act for those who wait on Him?
Pray with understanding, not wasting time.
Pray continually:
With contiunity pray before God.
Psalm 72:15 records, “…Prayer also will be made for Him continually, and daily He shall be praised.” The word of God speaks to all. He is God to praise continually.
Praying to God is a sacrifice that demands giving self to God without excuse for not praying continually. Acts 6:4 states, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Are you engaging in prayer continually with your mind to find God?
Are you watching and praying with expectation for manifestation?
Having expectations for manifestation is evidence of having faith.
In your watching and praying, let expectation and manifestation be for you to provoke the move of God in your favor.
Expect for manifestation:
Jesus, in His word, did not command all to pray but repeatedly commanded all to watch and pray.
The Bible records:
Matthew 26:41, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mark 13:33, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”
Luke 21:36, Watch, therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”
1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.”
Watching and praying is the evidence of expecting manifestation.
Watch and pray, as commanded in the word of God, for all man.
Prayer for today: Ask for the understanding of seeking God in all ways of life.
