(Third part)
Memory verse (Mtt7: 7): “ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you ".
There is a place where you get in prayer and feel as though all ways are shut up, heaven seems to be closed over your life, prayers seem like bouncing against a metallic wall. Have you come to a place in life and you feel unsatisfied by where you are, your level of preaching, your level of worship, you feel that where you are is not where God wants you to be. You sense that there is more that should come out of your life and ministry; you sense that there is a better dimension where God wants you to be, you sense that God has created you for something bigger and worthwhile?
You look at your life all you see is unfruitfulness, you feel limited in everywhere. I don’t know whether am talking to someone out there. You feel like someone in the prison, you feel a great and mighty wall all around you, with impenetrable and unbreakable doors and roof. Are going through a life where you seem to see no way out? I have news for you: It’s God who brings to that kind of feeling. God wants to take you somewhere but he has to make sure you are disgusted with your current situation and condition.
I remember way back in 1996, when the Lord called me into the ministry. My prayer life was just dead. My eyes were opened to see another place where God wanted to be. Then I made a decision, and I started to pray. I began to wake up to pray every morning by myself, but I tell you what, for days, months… I felt like someone in a prison house trying with all my strength to break out. There was no breakthrough but I refused to give up, I persisted year after year until Jesus began to open the heavens and began to pour his Spirit upon my life. Bless God am free now and enjoying flowing in the river of God.
Jesus has the keys of David (Rev3: 7-8), as you keep on keeping praying constantly, consistently, with hunger and thirst, with a vision to get to another level, He will open a door before you and no devil in hell will be able to shut it. He promised to go ahead of you and he will open the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder. Knock, knock, he is just about to open for you. Your breakthrough is nearer than you think.
Tomorrow’s subject: “ The dimension of intercession ”
