Prayer

Alvan and Mom

兒子在我 53歲生日當天（9/25），在他的部落格中寫了這篇有關禱告的重要性。我雖然知道兒子今年忘了媽媽的生日，但我看到這篇網誌，覺得它的意義非凡，勝過任何人間可以買得到的禮物。盼望成為一個真正在內室裡禱告的人。

Prayer is life, Prayer is the breath you breathe, prayer is the water you drink, prayer empowers you, prayers become everything that you are and become so natural to that you don't even realize you're praying. Prayer is more necessary than sleep, prayer is more necessary than food, prayer are your joy, and prayer is your fascination, prayer is what releases the Kingdom.

Prayer is what keeps you humble, prayer is the pathway to holiness, prayer is the pathway to sanctification, prayer is the byway to purity, prayer is the shortcut to union with Jesus, prayer is all that you want, prayer is all that you do, prayer is the price that you pay, prayer is the grace that you need, prayer is the lifestyle, prayer is your footsteps, prayer is your journey, prayer is your strength, prayer is your energy, prayer is your feet, prayer is your hands, prayer is your communication, prayer is your weapons, prayer is your defense, prayer is your covering, prayer is your secret of success, prayer is your secret weapons.

Prayer is your entertainment, prayer is your zeal, prayer is your passion, prayer is your dream, prayer is your social life, prayer is your behind the scenes, prayer is your secret place, prayer is your desire, prayer is your encounter with God, prayer is what it takes to get there, prayer is very very very important. So pray, life is short prayer hard. Give every breath and every minute to prayer. Let it become what you have- then nothing will be impossible. If it was so the mountains would be thy moved, water parted, sky shake, earth quake, enemies conquered, foe defeated, devils captured, curse broken, principalities pulled down, giants slain, high places brought low, low places exalted.

Kingdom came, will was done, life was changed, salvation received, doors been opened, needs been met, questions been answered, desires awaken, God's face been sought, His heart was known, Government executed, people saved, diseased healed, lame walked, blind saw, death raised, demonized set free, oppressed liberated, brokenness restored, Nations won, society transformed, Kingdoms fell, judgments spared, Mercy shown, land conquered, strength was gained, hearts encouraged, mission accomplished, and Kingdom established. Then truly all things will work for the goods of those who would pray and spend the life time in deep places of prayer and high places of intercession.

Let prayer today, become your everything. After you prayed, pray some more, and after that pray some more, until the passion consumes you, until the fire devours you, until the burden saturates you, until the tears become the river you swim, the unction united, the spirit lifts up, the flesh has been crucified, until the very thing God possesses you and transformed your soul into the image of His son.

So who really rules the world? The people who prays - the intercessors 

媽媽在Alvan部落格中留言說：「兒子，真是好！一個年輕人能夠如此深刻認識禱告的重要，真是難能可貴。我和爸爸也開始建立單獨固定禱告的時間了。願神持續祝福你，使用你，開拓你。」我和爸爸生活形態都是忙的人，但是我們真的好喜歡一天單獨與主說話的時刻。我與主親近的時間是在清晨運動的時候。爸爸是安排在他黃昏時跑步後，他有一段長時間靜走親近主。求主堅固我們，讓這時間能再加長，加深，加廣。
