PRAYER BLOCKERS II
(Hebrews 12:14 KJV)
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”.
There is a negative tendency in humans to discard, denigrate and despise fellow humans; while we pour out all our hearts towards God in worship and prayer. I have news for such people; God did not hear your prayer, and He has not received your worship. The reason is, God respects people, He regards people, and He does not accept any form of maltreatment of people by you. All these will cause Him to deny you access in prayer.
To see God is to have answers to prayers, it is to see His interventions in your affairs, and enjoy His ever-abiding presence in your life. But all these cannot happen until you follow peace with all men. The next dimension of prayer blockade occurs when we are unfaithful to God by living in sin. Sin will keep you from praying, and praying will keep you from sinning.
Take me advise of Paul the apostles:
“Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone. If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody. Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do. “I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.” (Romans 12:17-19 MSG). Receive grace today for holy living towards God and peaceful coexistence with men.
Action Points/Prayer
-Read all over and make notes.
-Teach these points to someone else.
-Ask God for grace to live peaceably.
Nugget
Sin will keep you from praying, and praying will keep you from sinning.
