An Altar Of Prayer by Kong Hee

An Altar Of Prayer
Encounters with God are amazing experiences, whether they are dramatic or subtle. But you must follow through your encounters if you desire to have the outcome God intended: to help you step out in faith for the cause of Christ and the gospel!
That’s why it’s so important to follow through an encounter with Christ by building an altar of prayer in your life.
Right after Paul’s Damascus Road encounter with Jesus, he began praying. He couldn’t see for three days, but he prayed and fasted!
“So the Lord said to him, ‘Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.’” ~ Acts 9:11
After consecrating yourself to God, the next, most natural thing to do is to build your own altar of prayer. There are three reasons why prayer is so important after you’ve encountered God:

1. Prayer forms a connection that brings you into the heart of God. It makes you more sensitive to Him.
   
2. Prayer produces communion that brings you into the presence of God. It strengthens your relationship with Him.
   
3. Prayer reflects complete surrender that brings you into the perfect will of God.
   

God always shows up when you pray! And God answers your prayers, giving you more grace, faith and strength to do His will and to live as He’s called you to live! So friend, take the time to pray today and develop an altar of daily prayer that marks your encounters with God and launches you into your calling and destiny!
Prayer for the day:

Thank God for the privilege of direct communication with Him, and ask Him to help you discover new depths of connection, communion and surrender as you meet with Him in prayer.
