UNDERSTANDING THIS PRESENT TIMES THROUGH KINGDOM-FOCUED PRAYER. ISAIAH 55:8

AS CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH, WE ARE INVITED EVERY DAY TO HAVE A STANDING BEFORE THE LORD; A STANDING OF PRAYER, A STANDING OF WORSHIP, AND A PURE DEVOTION TO A LIFE THAT HAS FULLY YIELDED AND COMMITTED TO THE WAY AND WILL OF GOD. 

WHEN WE WAKE UP INTO THE LIGHT OF A NEW DAY, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GIVES US CLEAR DIRECTION, INSTRUCTION, AND GUIDANCE IN HIS DIVINE INTENTIONS. 

 TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY IN WHICH OUR HEART MUST BE POSITIONED TOWARDS THE INTENTION OF THE FATHER, AN INTENTION THAT FIRST SEEKS TO DRAW AWAY FROM THE ATTENTION OF THE EVER-INCREASING DISTRACTIONS OF THE WORLD AND THE BATTLE OF THE MIND. 

OUR FOCUS MUST BE ON WHAT THE LORD HAS IN MIND FOR US. OUR PRAYER ATTENTION AND INTERCESSION MUST INCREASE THE ETERNAL REVELATION OF THE FINISHED WORK OF CALVARY IN OUR HEARTS. WE MUST NOT BE OVERCOME BY THE EVER-INCREASING CHALLENGES AND MANIPULATION OF THE WORLD'S SYSTEM.

DEVOTION CALLS US TO STAND BEFORE THE FATHER AS HIS PRIEST, WHO CONTINUALLY SEEKS TO KNOW AND FULFILL THE FATHER'S WILL AND COUNSEL, EVEN AS THE FORCES OF DARKNESS CONTINUE THEIR ACTS OF EVIL ACROSS THE EARTH. WE MUST CONTINUALLY SEEK TO MAINTAIN A HEART OF TRUTH, LOVE, AND PURITY AS WE AWAIT THE GLORIOUS MANIFESTATION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE ULTIMATE RETURN OF CHRIST TO EARTH.

THE SOVEREIGN LORD HAS GIVEN ME A WELL-INSTRUCTED TONGUE, TO KNOW THE WORD THAT SUSTAINS THE WEARY. HE WAKENS ME MORNING BY MORNING, WAKENS MY EAR TO LISTEN LIKE ONE BEING INSTRUCTED.5 THE SOVEREIGN LORD HAS OPENED MY EARS; I HAVE NOT BEEN REBELLIOUS, I HAVE NOT TURNED AWAY. 

ISAIAH 50:4-5
