In Constant Fellowship

Stay Online - I am Willing 

Mark 1:40-42 

A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”  Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed

Jesus says with this message, His grace is sufficient for all of us, He says, "come to me, let your knees get to know me, pray without seizing(beg for you do not deserve what you are praying for) but it is by grace that you might get it.

Stay Online, Stay Connected, Be in constant Relationship with me - I am Willing to give you what you need, I am Willing to meet your needs."

All it takes is for us to come to Him by faith and in humbleness, pray in the morning, pray in the day, pray in the afternoon, pray at night.  To maintain a good, unbroken relationship with our Father and the prince of glory.

The right attitude of the heart draws us closer to God.

The right attitude of the heart also draws His attention towards us,

For it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 that "it is the Will of God for all those who belong to Jesus to be":

Always joyful, prayerful, thankful in all circumstances.

When we do these things,

i..The Will of God with our lives, is done

ii..Heavens rejoice and God becomes pleased with us.  

iii..He opens His ears to receive and answer our prayers immediately.

Matthew 6:5-6

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Praying is far from what we grew up thinking it is, most of us grew up in a religious tradition whereby "only" in times of trouble, kneeling down and waking up at 3 am to disturb neighbors with loud prolonged prayers was the order of the day. 

Those were hypocritical prayer, just for others to view us as prayerful people outwardly but inside God had no room.

This can only mean if by any reasons you can't be at your place then you don't pray. 

We pray even in public areas, taxis and trains, at work, schools, doing shopping etc.  All that is done in silence, it is possible to be in prayer while talking to others at work or wherever you may be.  Remember your heart is your church, your prayer room not the church building, the church building is a place of fellowship when you have sorted all your matter with your Father, then go to church to fellowship with other brethren and then you receive your deliverance there from Jesus using His servants. God doesn't live in the building but He lives in you.  A constant prayer attitude is a maitainance of a good working relationship with the Father.  Adopting a ceaseless prayer pattern, you are like someone who is always "online" to maintain your relationship with your contacts.  

Immediately you stop, the relationship breaks, the Father is not close to you.

Long prayers do not make our prayers more effective, it is the connection we maintain that makes a difference and faithfulness.  A short prayer meditated on through out the day draws the attention of God, " Lord Jesus, locate me in Your mercy and heal me today, in Your holy name."

Child of God we pray in all seasons

Ephesians 6:18

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people

Nothing should prevent you from praying, neither happiness nor affliction.  

If Jesus says, "I am Willing to meet your needs,"  Are you willing to "Stay Online" with Him?

Prayer:

1. Lord Jesus, here I am with my head bowed down before You.

2. Lord Jesus, sitting at the right hand of the Father, I am willing to obey You, I come in total submission to Your throne of glory, in Your holy name.

3. Lord Jesus, Lord of mercy, I surrender my all to You, in Your holy name

4. Lord Jesus, have mercy on me and set me free, for You are Willing, in Your holy name.

5. Lord Jesus, You have broken me, scattered me, pierced me  for You are willing regather me and remould me again, in Your holy name.

6. Lord of Heavens, You have broken me down to a level where you will be able to trust me with Your riches and glory, by Your mercy for You are willing, prosper me in Jesus' name.

7. Lord of Abraham, remove all unrighteousness and bitterness from my heart, in the name of Jesus Christ.

8. Lord of new beginnings, grant me a renewal of heart, conscience and strength in the name of Jesus Christ.

9. God of righteousness, teach me to forgive 490 times, so I may as well be forgiven, in Jesus Christ's name.

10. Lord my redeemer, restore my glory 7 folds by your tender mercies and make me whole again for You are Willing, in Jesus' name

11. Lord my God, send Your angels concerning me today, for You are willing in Jesus Christ's name.
