The Only Answer Is Prayer نموونە

 Step into Your Position in Christ

God’s divine orchestration requires our human participation. Divine orchestration is the magnificent way God works everything together for His perfect purposes, combining everything from crushing events to tiny whispers. And how do we participate in His divine orchestration? Only through prayer.

Prayer is a completely supernatural transaction that takes place in the spirit, and yet it affects things in the natural. Prayer is the portal by which the realities of the invisible world (the Kingdom of God) enter into the visible world (the earth).

When you become a believer, you die to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. The position of Christ is far above that of any ruler or authority or anything else, not only in this world but also in the world to come (see Ephesians 1). He is supreme over all. And you are seated with Him, hidden in Him in the heavenly realm. Although you remain on earth, in your spirit you are seated in heavenly places.

We know that the devil is under Christ’s feet, which means he is also under our feet. No wonder he fights so hard to keep us prayerless, because he knows our position. 

When you understand your position, your prayers will change. Many Christians think they are praying from down here on earth up to heaven high above. But that is not what is happening. Yes, you live on earth, but you are also seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, where things are being discussed concerning the region you live in, and God intends for you to be involved in those discussions. The ministry of intercession is not reserved for a special group of people. It is for everybody who has been seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus—you.

This means that if you do not show up in prayer, you are making the blood of Jesus less powerful in your life. And when you do show up, you are not in God’s presence simply so that you can discuss your wish list. You are there to participate in bigger things as you pray and intercede faithfully.
