During His Ministry on earth Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing often described people as sheep. For a significant number wandered along as lost and a significant number followed along as with blinders; both are perilous situations when evil is at work in leadership. King Jeroboam caused Israel to sin (1 Kings 12:26-31) and King Manasseh caused Judah to sin (2 Kings 21:1-22). Though such occurred thousands of years ago, such continues in this present age. Yet, there is a diligent remnant aware of the critical aspect of prayer; all kinds of prayers (Ephesians 6:18): for self, family, community/neighborhood, country/nation, and the world. The Living Word – YESHUA/JESUS emphasized prayer because YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD), Who never goes back on His Word (Isaiah 55:11) gave mankind dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:26-28). The LORD God will intervene by invitation. That is, as we welcome God into the various aspects of our lives. (The devil comes sans invitation because the first Adam turned the “keys” over by his free-will act contrary to the God’s advice [Genesis 2:16-17 & 3:4-6], yet He Who is the Alpha and Omega now holds the keys [Revelation 1:18] for those who are “in Him”. Hallelujah!  

To pray is to ask the LORD God; it’s not begging. For there’s no need to beg for the outpouring gifted by the blood of Jesus (Revelation 5:12). That is why the remnant – the set apart ones – citizens of the Kingdom of God – sons & daughters of ELOHIM by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus have personal access through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit; He is on earth to Teach us the culture of the Kingdom of God. For though sons & daughters of the LORD God by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus are already kingdom citizens (now, on this side of Heaven), we need to learn the culture of God’s Kingdom. YESHUA/JESUS was sent to show us how we were created to operate with dominion, and then He took our sins upon Himself to free us unto its reality; His perfect obedience to the will of the LORD God on behalf of all mankind paved the way for the present-day Ministry of the Holy Spirit. Of all that which the Holy Spirit helps us with, perhaps the most critical may be Teaching us how to pray effectively (Romans 8:26-27). Also, awareness as to from whom (irrespective of their title or position) prayer is sought for oneself as well as exactly what they are speaking whilst praying is tantamount to manifest The Blessing of Abraham (all material blessings) and the fullness thereof (all spiritual blessings and authority) by the finished work of Christ Jesus. For the Word of God relays the fact that confidence in knowing the LORD God has heard our prayer is by praying the will of God as delineated in His Word with the God-kind of faith operated or powered by the God-kind of love (1Jn 5:14-15; Mark 11:22-25). All to the honor and glory and praise of the Sovereign Lord God Almighty, with thanksgiving in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
