MY FRIENDS IT IS TIME WE BEGIN TO “PRAY WITHOUT CEASING”
My pray today is that each Adopted child of the king will “PRAY WITHOUT CEASING” as we search the Scriptures “for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39 (NKJV)
As God’s chosen Generation in the last days of this life’s history it is our responsibility to “PRAY WITHOUT CEASING” 1 Thess. 5:17 (NKJV) as we seek God’s Spirit daily. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 2:11 (ESV) ” For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God?”
That my friends is where I need you to focus today “For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person.” Which tells me we must “PRAY WITHOUT CEASING” to receive God’s Spirit as we give it all to the Master.
In addition we begin to recognize how unworthy we are because of the sins we allow to lay dormant within us. “In his book Why Prayers are Unanswered, John Lavender retells a story about Norman Vincent Peale.
When Peale was a boy, he found a big, black cigar, slipped into an alley, and lit up. It didn’t taste good, but it made him feel very grown up. . . until he saw his father coming. Quickly he put the cigar behind his back and tried to be casual.
Desperate to divert his father’s attention, Norman pointed to a billboard advertising the circus. “Can I go, Dad? Please, let’s go when it comes to town.” His father’s reply taught Norman a lesson he never forgot. “Son, he answered quietly but firmly, “never make a petition while at the same time trying to hide a smoldering disobedience.”
My friends we know to well the difference between right and wrong. Do we think somehow God does not know as his 
angels records each sin to be placed before each of us one day. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” 2 Cor. 5:10 (NIV)
As Children of God we cannot lose sight of the fact that FAITH, PRAYER, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS, GOD’S WORD AND SALVATION can not be Separated. We must pray that our focus will be centered on Jesus Christ and Him Crucified and not on the things of this world as “the love of many (continue) to wax cold and the world loses sight of Christ saving grace.
As Christians we must never fall into Satan’s trap, while trying to convince ourselves, “Christ second coming has been 
delayed.” So we begin to PRAY AND STUDY less, while sinning more. Evan if it is only our favorite “SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE SINS.” Those sins Satan has allow to become so blurred in our thought process that we begin not necessarily not knowing they are sins, but just ignoring the fact that they are still an abomination to God.
Case in point our constant watching of TV or the CONSTANT STEALING OF GOD”S TIME at the expense of our service and commitment to Christ and the STUDY OF HIS WORD Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Remember my Friends every Scripture in God’s word testifies about our Savior and what must be done to be saved, and receive Eternal life. Our daily Prayers must be.
“Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today in our hour of need, to ask for Your forgiveness and to seek Your Grace, mercy, and guidance. We know in your Word it says, in Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;…” and as your Child we know we have lost sight of our “spiritual compass,” and have Focused our values, toward the values of the god of this world. But today we ask for your forgiveness, and pray that once again our focus will be placed on our Savior and His will for us. And through your WORD AND SPIRIT Our eyes will forever remain on Thee as we “PRAY WITHOUT CEASING” and ENDURE THIS RACE to the FINISH LINE AMEN
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
