We need to ask ourselves this question; Was it merely minutes or hours of prayer per week that gave Jesus the ability to cast out a demon on the spot when His disciples could not and He said “these only come out with much prayer”? (Mk 9.14-29) And was it just quantity or quality as well?
If we expect to be anything like Jesus and see miraculous movements of the gospel that radically change peoples lives by the hundreds and thousands (or even one lost soul), we need to be people of passionate and persistent prayer! Our prayer lives declare our attitude on where we think the power to live our lives and feed His sheep comes from. Much prayer equals dependence on the power of God. Little prayer equals, “No thanks Jesus, I got this!” It’s as simple as that. (Lk 18.1-8, Mt 7.7-11)
