![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

![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 […]
A Man of Prayer Waits Constantly Before God and Intercedes for What’s on His 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 […]

Have you ever wondered, What kind of prayers does God listen to and answer? As Christians we pray for a lot of things, but how do we know that God will listen to our prayers? In the Bible we see a very important principle concerning prayer: God will listen to our prayers if our prayers […]
Prayer is the Real Denying of the Self, the Real: No Longer I But Christ!

God needs men of prayer, men who habitually and continually pray by exercising their spirit to pray themselves into God and receive His life supply. Prayer is so full of meaning, it accomplishes so much, and it is so much overlooked and neglected! To pray really means that we as Christians realize that by ourselves, […]
A Man of Prayer Prays Himself Into God to Receive the Life Supply from Him
January 22, 2013 by 18 Comments
![If we sense that our prayer is not bringing us into the Triune God, we should change the way we pray. We need to make sure that we pray ourselves into God! Remove all distractions and focus only on Him. Just be honest with God, tell Him, ask Him, seek Him, and knock on His door. [Picture: Matt. 6:9-10]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/matt6-9-10-your-name-sanctified-kingdom-come.jpg?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1)
The Lord Jesus taught us how to pray in Luke 11:1-13, where we see that for us to be men of prayer we need to pray ourselves into God to receive the life supply from the Father. The more we pray the Lord’s prayer with an exercised spirit, and the more we pray according to […]
Seeing the Pattern of the Lord Jesus as a Man of Prayer in the Gospels

For God to accomplish His will, He needs a people on the earth that would pray His will for Him to do it. God doesn’t need only “prayers once in a while, when we remember or when we are reminded by others” – God needs men of prayer. With Daniel as a man of prayer […]
