How to prayThe basic idea people have of prayer is calling on God or other deities to help out with events in the earth. Even though this view carries the idea of access to higher beings, it brings in the state of helplessness on the part of the one asking for help. Is this really what prayer is all about?We don't have access in order to be helped; rather, to help ourselves. We have been allowed access into high places in order to directly influence events in the earth. Our access allows us venture into these initially inaccessible high places. Unfortunately, believers only like to focus on supplication; crying to God for help and mostly getting disappointed when things do not play out as expected. Christ brought us a more excellent deal. The veil in the temple was torn for access into heavenly places. We are not expected to stay in the earthly dimension hoping for higher beings to step down to us. We are called to be the highest of all higher beings, sons of God, operating in every height and depth there ever is. IN CHRIST ON EARTH (series)Believers know what they have in Christ but cannot seem to figure out how to walk in most of the things they know. You are not just expected to know what you have in Christ; you are to use what you have to make a glorious living on this earth. What stands between the knowledge and the experience is the "how." God will not do what you should do, thus prayer is not going to make everything work in your life. People keep praying to God concerning each and every situation they find themselves in and get offended when they do not see anything done. You cannot use prayer as a cover for ignorance. Do not lie helpless repeatedly asking God to intervene in situations when the truth is that you are ignorant; you only pray when "the how" is to pray. You did not become a believer just to hide behind prayer in ignorance. Jesus did not walk on earth helplessly praying to God for aid concerning every situation he met. To live like Jesus, you must know how to live the way he lived. This series is designed to practically guide you through living your position in Christ.
