KEY PRINCIPLE OF PRAYER #15: YOUR SECRET CLOSET OF PRAYER:


“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.” (Matt 6:6)


Jesus is telling us that setting aside time for the Father is absolutely essential! Note Jesus says “when” - implying that we will set aside alone time for a relationship with the Father. What we set side time for is what we value, and the Father should be our top priority! Where or how really doesn’t matter as long as it’s time for just you and Him. Ps 5:3 recommends the early morning:


“In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.”


Honestly, there’s really no better way to start the day before we get involved with the thousands of things that demand our attention during the day!

WALK APPLIED COVER.JPG

The time for a truly unique and different rock solid biblical approach is certainly here. The new and exciting approach of “The Walk Applied” brings to the Christian mileau a perspective that is rarely addressed: What does it mean to be a “Spiritual Being” operating in the Natural? What does it mean for me to be a “new creation in Christ”? What’s my real identity as a Christian? How does this “Jesus thing” operate from the “top down.” What’s this “sonship” thing all about? What does it mean to be adopted? What does it mean to be a citizen of the Kingdom? Without a solid understanding of how the Kingdom WORKS, how can we ever truly understand how to approach Jesus in the way that the Father intended? Christians are tired of “Church as usual”! Indeed, there is a growing chorus of voices (especially among the young) “there’s gotta to be a better way!” The sensible and different voice of “the Walk Applied” has been written to describe that better way. An excellent choice for Group Study or Sunday School
