I Am A House Of Prayer

Everyone is called to pray. The Holy Spirit is drawing the church into a revelation of the necessity of prayer. Serving the Lord begins with prayer. Jesus' only time becoming outwardly aggressive was in correction of the people around Him was when He saw the money changers selling in the temple. He said, "is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer," but you have made it a den of thieves." He also made it clear that the temple would no longer be a place built by human hands, but would once again become the bodies of those who put their trust in God through the revelation of Jesus Christ. So now we are the house of God, we are the house of prayer. It is time for us to understand that prayer is not for a select few, but everyone is called to pray, and that no move of God comes into the earth now without the body of Christ interceding and thriving in communication with God through prayer. Some wonder, "why pray if God has already decided everything?" The reality is that God has decided to entrust MUCH to His people, His church, and He has delegated authority to the body of Christ which is empowered by prayer and co laboring with Him to SEE his perfect will done. If it weren't so, it never would have been written, "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Why pray if God has a plan? Because His plan to forgive, to heal, and to restore is released through His people when they pray.
