Pressure the Earth: Make A Demand!
5 Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him,
6 ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’
7 And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’
8 But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.
9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead?
12 Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not!
13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”

Prayer is an audacity action. It is the way to pressure the system to vomit what you need for life and ministry.
Asking, Knocking must be an outflow of “shameless audacity”.
Putting pressure on the earth compels people to comply if only to preserve their name and reputation before you. And Jesus said that’s exactly what our insistent and constant prayer will achieve for us.!
Keep on putting the pressure on the earth system until it cracks open to release to you ALL you require for life and ministry!
What is the exact effect your prayer will have even on heaven for divine release? (Luke 11:11-13). Ask away. Ask for the “Fish”, the “Egg”, and of course for a fresh Holy Spirit infilling!
Jesus set the priority right when He taught us to ask for Kingdom before we ask for “daily bread”. If we would take care of enforcing God’s kingdom; His Purpose and His Eternal Will upon earth we will have no personal need that our “Father in heaven” will not supply.
Keep on putting the pressure on the earth system until it cracks open to release to you ALL you require for life and ministry!
Who is ready to stand on the watch?
LET US PRAY:
Dear Lord, help me to be a man/woman of prayer. Help me to ask with shameless audacity. Let my appetite for your presence drown all my appetite for your presents.
I declare that I am a Man/Woman of Purpose. I choose God above my daily bread, money, and comfort. I am diligent in prayer. I commit to seeking God daily and early all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
