Do you want your dreams to come to pass? Do you want to understand God in reality? Do you want to know Him and serve Him with wholehearted devotion? Do you want to walk with God, know His Holy Spirit and have fellowship with Him every day? Do you really want to grow in the knowledge of God? If your answer to all these questions is “Yes!” then you ought to be a praying person.
Sometimes you may not know which way to go. There may be several options presented to you and you don’t know which one is God’s way. That’s when you ought to pray. As you start praying in the Holy Ghost, your heart will become strengthened towards the direction that you should go.
When Paul prayed that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith, he was not talking about the man Christ Jesus, but His anointing. Thus he prayed that the anointing of the Anointed One would dwell in our hearts by faith. This is the prayer you should pray when the pressure comes; that you should be strengthened with might in your inner man and that the anointing of Christ may dwell in your heart. Then you’ll find that your heart will always be strengthened and directed towards the will of God even when the pressure mounts against you. You’ll see yourself grow closer to God and become more and more sensitive to His voice.
