Trisha Roselle & Kathy Bichsel: Cultivating a Spirit of Prayer – Part 3
Trisha & Kathy teach on the power and importance of cultivating a robust prayer life. Quotes: “You are here tonight because you are hungry. Psalm 14:2 in the Amplified says, “The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there are any who understand (act wisely), Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance]." I just love that! He's looking down, looking upon us to see if there's anyone of us who are tapping in. Who is asking him that? Who is hungry for His wisdom and for His guidance? I don't know about you but I'm longing for that. I want more. I need the strategy from heaven.”

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

I believe that most of us know this but it's what the Lord had me prepare. Our foundation is prayer and that is the only thing that will cause us to break through, the only thing that's going to change our nation. That's the only thing that's going to change our family situation, our region. I've been studying the gospels and every time Jesus prayed before there was major breakthrough that occurred. He went and was alone in the wilderness. He prayed all night before he called the twelve apostles. Now, if to be an imitator of him, how much more should we be praying? 

Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Sometimes, we can become so self-focused and self-consumed that we're missing it. He knows our problems. I'm not saying we're not to petition him. We'll talk about that in a minute. But the goal is to get our minds off ourselves when we're in His presence and worship Him. Early on, the Lord said to me, “I know what your problems are. You do my bidding and I'll take care of your work. 

That is where we can get so fouled up because we're so caught up in me. me, me, me, me. We focus on what is going wrong with me rather than worshiping the King of kings who is the designer of each and every one of us here and who knows the end from the beginning. He knows how to break through and cause deliverance and healing and restoration to take place in our lives.

There is a hunger that God is drawing us into - there's a hunger. One of the things that the Lord has
me doing again is saying, “Lord, break my heart with the things that break your heart. Lord, give me
your burden for souls. Give me your burden to pray for people that they may be healed. Give me your burden.” I'll tell you He answers that prayer because the burden of the Lord is that you get his heart for what he wants to do within our own personal lives, but also within our region and the nation. I mean, as you know, our nation needs prayer, right? 

The leadership needs prayer and so I'm not going to curse them and think about how awful they are. What I'm going to do is pray about it, pray for them, pray for God to break in their lives or get them out one or the other. So, in Luke 11:1 it says, “Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

They saw that Jesus was the man of prayer. They saw the miracles. You would think that they would be catching it, that they were picking up from Him. They were no different than us. Don't you want to go deeper in the Lord? Don't you want to know how to really tap into that place with Him? And it's really not that hard.

God is saying to us today that He is going to teach us. He's going to give you that desire, that discipline to pray but will you commit daily? Will you make that choice to commit daily? Now, I'm sure most of you here are praying every day but if you're not well then the Lord wants to encourage you to pray every day. Mark 14:7 says, “Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?”

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to press in to worship. I put my worship music on and I'm worshiping. Every day is different because when you're in a relationship with an individual, do you speak to them the same way every single day? No. So it's a relationship-based situation. I usually start out with worship but sometimes I just go right into the Word. Other times, I'm just worshiping for the whole time then I get into prayer. At times when I'm really struggling with the situation I've run into my prayer room.
