A Place Your Glory Dwells

Jesus Heals the Blind Man

A Place Your Glory Dwells


For I give you good doctrine; Forsake ye not my law.
For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;
Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth.

Proverbs 4:1-5

Spending some time remembering the day Jesus called me to the deep things of the spirit. I remember running to my prayer room at every chance. I was so hungry for the deeper things of God. I was so hungry for the tangible presence. I was seeing miracles and the power of prayer working and interceding for good meetings and seeing God show himself in mighty ways. It was wonderful…

But it wasn’t enough.

Fervent Prayers That Availeth

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

James 5:16 KJV (portion)

Oh the excitement of writing about prayer…I asked the Lord what shall I say? I could write about this and that and another.. and as my mind was filling with the joy of all the treasures of prayer, I heard the small voice say “fervent”.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  To be fervent means to show great warmth or intensity of spirit.  When we begin to converse with God the warmth of the spirit and the fire of the Lord begin to stir the passions of  His desires through us.

What a wonderful gift the Lord gives to us that we could share in the passions of His heart. That our yielding to the call of prayer could change the heart of one or change the destiny of a nation or simply draw us personally into the deep chambers of the Lord to experience the intimacy of the most High.
