Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us to heed your call when we sense you are calling us to pull away and pray and seek Your face. Drawn us Lord, wake us up Lord, in the middle of the night. Call us away from our busy lives to intercede for others. Lord, forgive us when we knew we were to pray and even said we would do it later but never got around to it. Help us to rise up early and to get alone with you in the evening.
Lord we thank you for doing it in Jesus name. Amen!

************************************************
DANIEL WAS A PRAYER WARRIOR:
Daniel received all his wisdom, direction, messages and
prophecies while on his knees. When Daniel learned of his death warrant, he called a meeting with his three friends. Daniel and the three young Hebrew men they had to hear directly from the Lord. So they went to their knees and cried out to Him for mercy and revelation.
"Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom
and might are his: and he changeth the times and the seasons
he removeth kings, and setteth up kings ; he giveth wisdom'
unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: he revealeth the deep and secret things: and
he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth
in him." Daniel 2:20-22
The Babylon's leaders knew Daniel prayed toward Jerusalem
three times a day. And they attributed his favor to his
prayers. So they implemented a plan to stop his praying.
How is the enemy stopping you from praying?
God searched for a single broken hearted, praying man or woman to intercede--- but he couldn't find even one.
"I sought for a man among them, that should make up a hedge
and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none" Ezekiel 22:30
America is in trouble, and so is the church, are you willing to lay down your busy life to stand in the gap for
these things. Are you thinking that the Lord is coming back soon and that will take care of it, let me share something with you; you are deceived, because we as the church is not ready. We cannot even get along, He is coming for a spotless
bride. We have so many devisions in the church. America has allowed so many things to take place they need to return back to what it was based on, One Nation Under God. We as the church is getting fat on the Word of God but what are we doing with it? We are so set in our doctrines how can God work thru that? The church needs to be awaken from their sleep .Awake church and arise. The church is not being taught about true Intimacy with our Lord, they are more into works, thinking that will get them closer to God.
We the church right now is just like the Laodicea church
in Revelation 3:15-" I know all the things you do, that
you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, I will spit
you out of my mouth!
Is that enough for you to commit yourself to prayer and intercession? The church needs those who are willing to lay their life down to pray. America is on the virge of being judged by the Lord, people I sense in my spirit these things. Watch and Pray, be ready in season and out of season. Prepare for the Lord to come and have mercy on us. Ask the Lord to make you so hungry for Him. Daniel would not stop praying just because the authorities told him too. He was placed in the Lion's den for it. The Lord rescued Him from it. If you are willing to lay down your life to
intercede the Lord will anoint you and he will show you what to pray. Seek Him while He may be found my friend.
As the revelation came, Daniel was provoked to pray:
"I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: and I
prayed unto the Lord my God". Daniel 9:3,4
Where are the praying people in God's house today?
Where are the faithful shepherds who seek the Lord day
and night? These are the ones who'll be given skill and
understanding, because they're greatly loved.

WHAT IS PRAYER:
It is simple it is a conversation with God. Be sincere
in your prayers to God . He already knows what you are in need of. God already knows what you are going thru and He desires for us to have a conversation with Him matter of fact He longs for us too. As long as your request is in the will of God than you can believe He will answer you. Your
prayer life does not have to be like others ,so do not compare your prayer life to others. See the Lord wants to meet you right where you are . Prayer is like having a conversation with a friend or a spouse, you can talk to God the same way. Matter of fact He knows you better than
anyone else does, so be yourself and have your conversation with your Lord which is prayer. It would be good to set up a time that fits you and start praying at that time every day. Also the Bible instructs us to pray without ceasing,
but if you do know how to pray began to have a conversation
with Him until you are comfortable with doing it all the time. The Lord wants us to be real with Him so talk to him and share your thoughts with Him . God wants prayer to be a normal part of our lives;just like we breath.

ARISE AND CRY OUT- LAMENTATIONS 2:18-19
The hearts of the people cry out to the Lord. O wall of the Daughter of Zion, let your tears flow like a river
day and night; give yourself no relief, your eyes no rest.
Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street.
