Before The Throne:

     When you pray, are you deliberately considering the One who is listening?


    Over the years, I have been privileged to pray with some tremendous saints.  The older ones kneel and I have been greatly humbled in hearing these prayers.  I have knelt with God's servants in the dirt, on cobblestones, on carpet, in mud,  in the sand and surrounded by thousands of camels,  in danger and in safety.


     One thing is sure - He hears.  He is the ultimate Listener, and it seems to me that Christians often forget that the One who holds the stars in place is listening intently.


    So often we pray as though He has to be convinced.  Yes, I often quote His own words to Him in prayer, but I have taken Him at His  Word, and so must you.


     He who is The Word is listening to your words.  Hallelujah that we have the Indwelling Holy Spirit to aid us in our prayer life.


     Soldier of The Cross, like all else, prayer is a frontier.  No one else has your relationship with the Lord - it is unique between the two of you.   And, there is no limit.


     Learn to stand or sit or kneel, and pray.  Aloud.  Learn to see Him as holding the scepter and listening.  Loving.  Understanding.  Wanting the best for you.  The God of all Power.


     Declare it all to Him.  Even your need to know He is listening. 


     Aloud.
