The Practice of Kingdom Life - Part 2 - By Pat Stanton
What kingdom principals and rules bring positive rewards? We have steps to effective prayer given in Matthew 6:6...
1. Go into your room
2. Shut the door
3. Pray to the Father in secret
We can shut the door on activity and interaction with others in order to spend private quiet time with the Lord. He desires our full attention in times of prayer, so we can share our heart with Him.
Can you get alone with God? He got alone with you in the very beginning of your existence.
Psalm 139:13-15 states: "For you formed me and made me in my mother's womb. You saw me as I was being formed in secret (in utter seclusion) as I was woven together in the dark (in my mother's womb).
He is the Master designer and Creator of life. Are you up to date in your contact with God? Do you have the highest level of direct contact with Him? We have been promised complete and daily direction for our lives as we remain in high level communion with Father God.
Proverbs 3:6 "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." The word acknowledge is Hebrew, yada'.
It can mean:
1. To know by observation
2. Investigation
3. Firsthand experience
From time to time, we need to look at all of our ways to see if we measure up to His kingdom standards. He waits to spend time with us.
