A great door opened by God for work, but while I’m doing the work, all Hell breaks loose. Oh! The idea that when God opens a door and He’s with you, you don’t have to fight. Oh, what a joke. That is a joke. In fact, if you don’t feel the devil fighting against you, that’s a bad sign.

Anything, and I mean anything, becomes a blessing if it drives us to prayer.

Prayer

Because we are God’s children…we can bring our needs to him with certainty in prayer…. Prayer is not some kind of heavenly lottery. Nor does the Bible counsel us to pray with an “I hope this will work”…attitude. Instead…prayer brings us before the throne of grace as children seeking the help of their heavenly Father. That’s the heart of breakthrough, successful prayer-the bold confidence that we are talking to the Father who delights to supply our needs.

Does the Bible ever say anywhere from Genesis to Revelation, ‘My house shall be called a house of preaching’? Does it ever say, ‘My house shall be called a house of music’? Of course not. The Bible does say, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’. Preaching, music, the reading of the Word – these things are fine; I believe in and practice all of them. But they must never override prayer as the defining mark of God’s dwelling. the honest truth is that I have seen God do more in people’s lives during ten minutes of real prayer than in ten of my sermons.

Every time we open the Bible, let’s stop and pray, whether for fifteen seconds or fifteen minutes, asking the Spirit to teach us. When I read the Bible, I want God to talk to my soul.
