Prayer is a time of communion with the Father where petitions are made and answers are received. However, I've come to the realization that although PIAL is devoted to prayer and intercession, not everyone who is connected to our ministry is. And just to clarify, we don't pray because it's easy and convenient nor are we trying to appear holier than thou. We pray because the Lord Jesus Christ has called us to come together on one accord to help ready His bride in these last and evil days (plus, praying helps us stay ready too!).
"And the foolish said to the wise, āGive usĀ someĀ of your oil, for our lamps are going out.ā But the wise answered, saying, 'Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.' And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut." - Matthew 25:8-10
As it becomes increasingly more difficult to determine what's true from what's false, we must be intentional about praying and getting our counsel from the Holy Spirit to remain in the will of God and avoid being deceived. Unfortunately, some Christians mistakenly believe that being an intercessor is a spiritual gift that's only given to certain people when in reality, it's a lifestyle and like the Holy Spirit revealed to me recently...
You can't build a prayer life overnight.
Prayer and intercession and abiding in God's word will ensure that we have more than enough oil to keep our lamps full in a time where wicked people want us to trust in what they say instead of trusting in the living God. Don't be foolish!Ā God is not mocked (Galatians 6:7).Ā Jesus Christ is coming soon and whether you're ready or not, He will return for His bride.
