Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. When words come from the Living Lord inside of us they are energized words that change lives. There is a famine of the hearing of the word of God. During this time of famine, the Chief Shepherd is sending forth fresh bread. Today if ye will hear his voice.
People pray for various reasons.
However, prayer is not simply an individual bombarding God with the words from their heart and mouth. Prayer is also a two-way conversation between an individual and God. We talk to God and he listens, but God also talks to us and we should listen. I prayed many years simply talking to God and never listening to hear his reply to me. In the year of 1987, friends shared with my wife and I their experience that they were having with God in prayer.
