Prayer That Changes You

“Prayer Doesn’t Change God It Changes You.”

This tiny phrase astounded me since the first time I heard it over 15 years ago.  It’s funny but through the years I have grown to know less and less about God. The more I thought I knew the less I knew. The less I knew the more I seemed to understand! I can only tell you what I have learned in my own life and experiences.

By spending countless hours in prayer, I have found that prayer formats my mind, spirit and heart to be in complete alignment with Him. God’s intentions are already engrafted in our hearts and through prayer we are awakening and perfecting what has been in our spirit since our very existence. This is where we become more like him.  You can completely be transformed mentally and spiritually through prayer.  Prayer is the single most greatest gift from God to be used as a connection point to Him.
When we pray it should not be about “calling God to action”.  When we pray it should be about opening our eyes to see him already in action.  Prayer leads us to aligning the earth realm with the heavenly realm.  Spending time in prayer enhances what I call our supernatural sensory levels. These levels will increase when we spend time with the Father. You will be able to see and hear more clearly what God is doing in your life by devoting time in prayer. Many people have their different philosposies on how much you suppose to spend in your personal prayer time.  I choose to think of it as how close you want to be with Him.  What kind of results you want in your life? Are you comfortable with fluctuations or spouts of trouble, disappointments, fear or seasons of doubt? Can you afford to be going in the wrong direction or do you have a lot of time to waste? If you answered no to these questions, the best answer is to develop a “consistant” prayer time with God where you can conversate and hear what he is downloading in your spirit on a daily basis. The more you bask in his prescence the more you will become like him...

Wow! That is so right. I recently readh The Shack, and you hit the nail right on the head. It's about relationship. The more we pray, the better we get to know Him. The better we get to know Him, the easier it is to see.

Much favor,

I want to say that yes, prayer does work.
I had been having some marital problems and it literally came from no where. Meaning that I had no idea that there was a problem.
It started new years eve and although things are not completely where I would like for them to be, we are much better and we will be much better.
I encourage anyone reading this to do the following, first make sure you have good christian support, make sure you read your word and recite Gods word over and over again. Read Rom 12:14 until the end. Find and read things aboout love in the bible and what it means. You will and maybe you will not, but I was suprised at what the Lord wants us to withstand for LOVE. It is not impossible, we can do all thing through Christ who strengthen us.
I not only learned a lot about my husband, but I learned even more about myself.
While your waiting on God to do his thing, we need to do ours, which is to build ourselves back up, and to re-prioritze things. I was guilty of looking at my husband more so than God. So I believe God wanted me to remember who he is and where he is to be,FIRST.
I will admit that some things I read, put me on the defense and then the Holy Spirit pricked my heart, I was convicted. I read two books, Help I'm Married by Joyce Meyers and I took the 30 challenge. Dare to love.
Hold ON and believe that when you tell your mountain to move; and you believe that what you say will come true with wavering; it will. That is in Mark.

This is an awesome topic.
I can truly say that when you spend time in Gods presence
changes does begin to happen on the inside of you immediately.
Especially when you spend time reading and listenly to what the
Holy spirit is saying to you in his presence. Great topic

Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
