BURNING ALTARS: A LIFESTYLE OF DEEP PRAYER AND INTIMACY (6)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Monday, 10 March 2025

Focus: Sustaining the Fire


Many believers experience temporary revival but struggle to maintain a lifestyle of deep prayer. Prayer is not an event—it is a lifestyle. If we are to carry God’s fire, we must sustain it daily. Daniel prayed three times a day, no matter what (Daniel 6:10). Jesus often withdrew to pray alone and remained in constant communion with the Father (Luke 5:16). The early church was devoted to prayer, and power followed (Acts 2:42).

Why do some people lose their fire?

  1. Inconsistency—they only pray when they feel like it.
  2. Distractions—social media, busyness, and entertainment steal their focus.
  3. Lack of discipline—they don’t have a prayer routine.

How do you sustain the fire?

  1. Set a fixed prayer time daily and guard it!
  2. Fast regularly—fasting fuels the fire.
  3. Pray in the Spirit constantly—it builds endurance.
  4. Surround yourself with fire-filled believers!

Scripture Reading:

📖 Romans 12:11-12 – “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”


Refreshing for the Day:

The enemy fears a consistent believer because consistency leads to spiritual power! So, beloved, are you consistent in prayer? If not, create a strategy today to stay on fire! A burning altar requires daily fuel—what are you feeding your spirit? Stay Refreshed!
