Prayer is a very important matter in our Christian life and in God’s economy. Without prayer and without persevering in prayer the truths in the Bible are merely doctrines we know in our mind, not our spiritual constitution and reality. Watchman Nee encourages us to not only hear the truth but pray the Word and […]
Seeing the Urgency of Growth in Life Unto Maturity for God to Gain His Army

![Seeing the Urgency of Growth in Life Unto Maturity for God to Gain His Army [In the Picture: The more we pray at the incense altar, the more we will prealize that the need for maturity is desperate, adn the greater will be the urgency to pray for the growth in life unto maturity.]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/pray-incense-altar-we-need-maturity.jpg?fit=300%2C197&ssl=1)
I am still pondering over Exodus 30, where God gives precise instructions on how to make the incense golden altar, and then immediately after that there’s the numbering of the people of Israel. This shows that the intercessory prayer at the incense altar issues in the numbering of God’s people that they would form an army to […]

God has a purpose and a move on the earth, and for Him to accomplish His purpose He needs His people to pray one with Him. In the Old Testament God moved with the tabernacle in the midst of His people, and the purpose of our journey into God to enjoy all that He has […]
Praying One with Christ at the Incense Altar for God’s Administration to be Executed
January 29, 2013 by 11 Comments
![Christ's prayer life is the center of God's execution of His government on the earth. Here at the incense altar we are in our "heavenly White House" (USA reference), or the "heavenly No. 10 Downing Street" (UK reference) - the intercession of Christ is God's White House, God's No. 10 Downing Street, where God has His center of operation in the universe. [In the picture: If we have a clear view of the incense altar, we will pray for God's move, for the executing of God's purpose, for the Lord's recovery, for the carrying out of the divine administration and for the divine dispensing; this kind of prayer fulfills God's purpose and delights His heart. ]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/clear-view-incense-altar-gods-move-gods-purpose.jpg?fit=300%2C197&ssl=1)
Have you ever wondered, How comes I am a Christian and So-and-So is not? He may be a better person than me, but for some reason I believe in God while he doesn’t yet or even refuses to. It is not our seeking for God and our hunger for reality that primarily brought us to […]
Not Hindering God Anymore but Being Fully Responsive to Him for Him to Work
January 28, 2013 by 10 Comments
![We need the Lord to shine on us both individually and corporately as the church that we may see, in His light, what He can do AND what we can hinder Him from doing. [In the picture: The Lord must bring us to a place of utter responsiveness to Himself so that He can have a free and unhindered way to do whatever He wants to do, Watchman Nee]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/a-place-of-utter-responsiveness-to-god-unhindered-way.jpg?fit=300%2C199&ssl=1)
I am impressed and humbled to see how much God is limited to man’s cooperation. God is omnipotent and He can do everything He wants, but His omnipotence is limited because His church on earth does not release His power and His will. God needs to have certain conditions suitable for His working, and then […]
The Prayer Ministry of the Church: Asking God to Accomplish what He Wants to Do
January 18, 2013 by 12 Comments
We have seen that the significance of prayer is to contact God in our spirit and to inhale Him, and the principle of prayer is that God’s people need to pray for God’s will to be done before God can rise up to do anything. I am still amazed to see that God, who is […]
The Earth Controls Heaven: Praying to Open the Way for God to Move Today

Many believers and unbelievers alike are wondering why is God not more real to people today, why is the world so corrupted, why is every new generation being more degraded than going higher than the previous one, and why are there so many wars, crimes, and evil things happening. There is no general answer to […]
