Talking to God
is a common occurrence to many people.
Whether a close, casual, or totally distant relationship exists with the
Lord Almighty, at one time or another we have tried talking to Him.
How does this work?
In Mark Batterson's book called "Draw
the Circle" he writes that a group of revival seekers in the late 1800s
sought out Rodney "Gypsy" Smith, a London-born evangelist who
traveled thousands of miles, saw two sitting US Presidents, and preached to
millions of people.
They wanted to know
how they could make a difference with their lives the way he had with his. This
was his advice to them: Go home.
Lock yourself
in your room.
Kneel down in the middle
of the floor, and with a piece of chalk draw a circle around yourself.
There, on your knees, pray fervently and
brokenly that God would start a revival within that chalk circle.
How does prayer
work? 1) First of all it's realizing that the biggest change for prayer
happens in you, and 2) Faith is essential.
Hebrews 11:6 (NIV) And without
faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must
believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
You have just
been challenged. Take up the challenge
and see what God will do to you, and to the world through you.
