A story of a young man who had it all. A loving father, a family, a home, there were people there at his home, servants of the house, there was life, there was joy and yet we arrive to VS 15 and16, truly two of the saddest verses, one of the most unimaginable depictions of just how far sin and self will take you.

15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

Prayer is in essence the method by which christians practice and keep fellowship with God. I submit to you that if you did not pray, you don’t have a relationship with God. Saved people, regenerate people talk to God. 

Living in the pressure cooker of warfare that we live in these days, I don’t see how you can go one day and not be forced into prayer, forced into a place where you realize that you can’t do it, you don’t have the strength, you don’t have the wisdom, the stamina. I must pray. I must ask, I must tell Jesus. 

If you signed that document on Sunday and did it in all sincerity, if you truly are willing to fight for holiness, for power with God, for authority and confidence with God in this world, then you must understand the power of prayer, the importance of prayer and just how desperate you should be to pray!
