Living in Increase (Part 7) - Increase in PrayerSample

Never Stop

First Thessalonians 5:17 is short and sweet!

“Ceasing” means to stop. Therefore, this verse says, “Pray without stopping.” To pray without stopping means to pray constantly. When you put it that way, it sounds demanding, right? However, it’s not. It’s the key to the Kingdom.

When we practice constantly being in the Presence of God, it becomes like breathing. He is listening for your voice to seek Him, to share with Him. It’s only through prayer that we will learn what He is like. Christians will describe His Voice as “Still and Small,” and it certainly can be and often is. However, the more time you spend talking to God, the more you will recognize His Promptings, Correction, Direction, and Protection. If you want all God has for you, you must pray constantly.
