There must be something about prayer that we need to watch with persistence in it, since both the Lord Jesus and Paul charges us to do so. At the end of Colossians and Ephesians, Paul encourages us to persevere in prayer and pray at every time in spirit – watching unto this in all perseverance (Eph. 6:18)! […]

Our experience as Christians confirms that there is a fierce battle in this universe between God and Satan, and particularly when we want to pray there are so many things and people and situations that rise up to not let us pray. As lovers of Christ we want to pray, we desire to pray, and […]

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 […]

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 […]

We today as the many members of the Body of Christ have the privilege and the responsibility to be one with Our interceding Head, joining into His interceding ministry by praying at the incense altar for what is in God’s heart.

In Gen. 18 we see how God came to visit His friend Abraham in a human form, and He spent some time with him to eat together and converse together. Abraham was one who was dealt with by the Lord and he learned the lesson of not being hasty to ask God for things or […]
