‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE NATIONS’ (Mark 11:17)

“Christian” can be just a label. If our spirit has actually been made alive through the power of God’s Spirit then we will be changed internally. Our desire will be to relate to the Lover of our Soul. Such a person will WANT to daily seek God. Even so, there may be a battle with our fleshly desire to be lazy, undisciplined and entertained.

A Christian’s body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and God’s House. His House is to be a house of prayer. Prayer is talk. Prayer is relationship. A husband who has little desire to speak to his wife has a serious problem with his marriage relationship. If one goes through a day or even several days with barely a thought of or toward Jesus, there is clearly a lack of relationship.

Such a relationship problem could result from yielding to fleshly desires. Or, it might indicate that a person has not actually repented of his sin. One can know a great deal about God without really knowing God. Genuine knowing of God comes through repentance of sin and receiving forgiveness and grace. Knowing God involves daily relationship with Him through Christ’s redemption.

We are not saved because of daily relating to God. Rather, we actually desire to relate daily because we have been born into the love of God and thirst to hear His voice and to walk with Christ. “By His stripes, we are healed.” What an incredible God we serve! Lord, please walk with us and talk with us. Make your word to burn in our hearts and change our lives.

* Evaluate your relationship with God.
* Do you DESIRE to hear Him daily?


Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?" (Luke 24:32)
