FIRE ON THE ALTAR: A LIFE OF A PERSISTENT PRAYER (3)

Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional

Date: Friday, 14 February 2025

Focus: The Power of Persistent Prayer


Message:

Your calling must be fueled by prayer. A life without prayer is a life without power. Prayer is the fire that keeps our spirit alive, our faith strong, and our connection with God unbroken. This devotional series will guide you into a lifestyle of unceasing prayer and deep communion with God.


Key Verse:

đź“– 1 Thessalonians 5:17 – “Pray without ceasing.”


Jesus taught us to keep praying and never give up (Luke 18:1). Many prayers go unanswered not because God said no, but because we gave up too soon. Elijah prayed seven times before the rain came (1 Kings 18:43). Daniel prayed for 21 days before his answer arrived (Daniel 10:12-13). What if they had stopped too early? God rewards persistent prayer. Keep pressing in, even when the answer seems delayed.


Scripture Reading:

đź“– Luke 18:1 – “Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.”


Refreshing for the Day:

So, beloved, refuse to be discouraged in prayer—keep pressing in! Stay Refreshed!


Note This:

Persistent prayers bring supernatural breakthroughs.


Responsibility:

Identify a prayer request you almost gave up on—start praying for it again!


Prayer:

O Lord, give me the strength to keep praying until my answer comes. In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Prophetic Declaration:

I declare that my prayers are powerful and effective! I will not give up! In Jesus’ name, Amen!


Bible Texts:

1 Thess. 5:17, Psalm 27:4, Luke 18:1
