"Pray without ceasing". I've heard Pastors both teach and Preach on this topic and every time they preached, I always thought they said "Pray without season". This was more reasonable to me - I can pray at all seasons (summer or winter) or whatever season...I knew I was praying without season.
One day, when I was studying the scriptures, I fell on 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and in there, the Scriptures says "Pray without ceasing". How on earth can anyone Pray without ceasing? I took another Translation and that made it worst....It said, "Never stop praying". For a minute, I thought this was impossible. "How on earth can that mum who takes care of her babies every now and then pray without stopping? How Can that Man who's always at work pray without ceasing?, How could that college kid who have various lectures to attend in a day, "never stop praying"? How on earth can that pizza delivery boy, Pray without ceasing?" This was Practically Impossible - I thought. But it seemed Impossible because I really didn't know what Prayer was - I needed revelational Knowledge about Prayer and that, I was soon going to get.
"Caleb! Caleb!!" Juliet called, "let's go for Prayers". I was so busy in the class room that very day and I told her "you can go on, I gotta have this thing finished now". She then gazed at me with a dissapointing look and said "So u mean you can't just give this 30minutes for God in a whole week?". After saying this, she went away without me.
Right after she left, I began to think..."Does Juliet give just 30minutes to God in a week?, why is she so dissapointed in me if she gives just 30 minutes to God in a week? - I pray everyday". This triggered my thought about "Praying without ceasing" and while meditating on this, I received that so much sought revelation on Prayer.
Prayer is a Spiritual activity. It's fellowship with God who is Spirit (John 4:24). So, to really understand Prayer, we have to look at it from the spiritual perspective. Prayer isn't Just that time you consciously kneel to communicate with God (Pray), it's more than that! It's Spiritual and that's why it's possible to Pray without ceasing. It's Spiritual!
Watch this closely...Since Prayer is fellowship with God, and Fellowship includes communication, then, every time we pray, we are actually connecting to the Spiritual. From my knowledge of Communication, I understand that "communication isn't complete until a feedback is given from the receiver which is in line to the message sent"..In other words, communication is not Complete if there's no feedback that shows that the message sent was understood..
Now, if we apply this to Prayer, which includes communication with God, We can say that our communication (Prayer) isn't complete until we receive a feedback from God in other words, God who is Spirit talks back to you! Glory!! God speaks to men!
Now, u must understand that, as believers, we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise when we became born again (Eph 1:13). Jesus Promised the Holy Spirit will come (John 16:13) and the Holy Spirit who is "The spirit of God" leads believers every day. One way He (the Holy Spirit) leads is by speaking to us (Communication). This is so existing! All over the scriptures, we've seen texts that: The Holy Spirit leads by speaking. (Isaiah 30:21, John 10, 16:13, 1 corinthains 2 etcetera). Glory to God!
What this revelation shows us is that "Prayer is the act of being led by the Spirit of God (God)"..Glory!! This is massive!
When the Bible said "Pray without ceasing", the Word was saying that "you be led by the Spirit of God". This is the only possibe way to pray without stopping. The Holy Spirit, Who is God, speaks to you via your spirit man. He wants to direct you every time of day if you'd only be sinsitive to His voice...He talks to you every time and when you talk back to him, guess what you doing??? You are Praying! When you live as the Spirit directs, "You are Praying without ceasing"...This is what Prayer is about. Being led by the Spirit of God!
It's my desire that you tune your receiver to so you could receive from God's. He's transmitting everytime - He'ss speaking always! It's only those that are in the frequency of the Spirit that will be able to hear what He says. They are the only ones that can obey the command, "Pray without ceasing"..Guess what? When you are led, You never make mistakes! You are always victorious! God bless you.
