Prayer is a very important matter in our Christian life and in God’s economy. Without prayer and without persevering in prayer the truths in the Bible are merely doctrines we know in our mind, not our spiritual constitution and reality. Watchman Nee encourages us to not only hear the truth but pray the Word and […]
Seeing the Urgency of Growth in Life Unto Maturity for God to Gain His Army
![Seeing the Urgency of Growth in Life Unto Maturity for God to Gain His Army [In the Picture: The more we pray at the incense altar, the more we will prealize that the need for maturity is desperate, adn the greater will be the urgency to pray for the growth in life unto maturity.]](https://i0.wp.com/mail.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/pray-incense-altar-we-need-maturity.jpg?fit=300%2C197&ssl=1)
I am still pondering over Exodus 30, where God gives precise instructions on how to make the incense golden altar, and then immediately after that there’s the numbering of the people of Israel. This shows that the intercessory prayer at the incense altar issues in the numbering of God’s people that they would form an army to […]
Praying at the Incense Altar for the Formation of an Army to Fight for God’s Move

God has a purpose and a move on the earth, and for Him to accomplish His purpose He needs His people to pray one with Him. In the Old Testament God moved with the tabernacle in the midst of His people, and the purpose of our journey into God to enjoy all that He has […]
Cooperating with Christ in His Ministry of Intercession by Praying at the Incense Altar

We today as the many members of the Body of Christ have the privilege and the responsibility to be one with Our interceding Head, joining into His interceding ministry by praying at the incense altar for what is in God’s heart. When Christ was on the earth, the disciples were usually falling asleep as He […]
Not Hindering God Anymore but Being Fully Responsive to Him for Him to Work
![We need the Lord to shine on us both individually and corporately as the church that we may see, in His light, what He can do AND what we can hinder Him from doing. [In the picture: The Lord must bring us to a place of utter responsiveness to Himself so that He can have a free and unhindered way to do whatever He wants to do, Watchman Nee]](https://i0.wp.com/mail.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/a-place-of-utter-responsiveness-to-god-unhindered-way.jpg?fit=300%2C199&ssl=1)
I am impressed and humbled to see how much God is limited to man’s cooperation. God is omnipotent and He can do everything He wants, but His omnipotence is limited because His church on earth does not release His power and His will. God needs to have certain conditions suitable for His working, and then […]
A Man of Prayer Waits Constantly Before God and Intercedes for What’s on His Heart

In Gen. 18 we see how God came to visit His friend Abraham in a human form, and He spent some time with him to eat together and converse together. Abraham was one who was dealt with by the Lord and he learned the lesson of not being hasty to ask God for things or […]
Praying Toward God’s Interests so that God would Listen to Our Prayer

Have you ever wondered, What kind of prayers does God listen to and answer? As Christians we pray for a lot of things, but how do we know that God will listen to our prayers? In the Bible we see a very important principle concerning prayer: God will listen to our prayers if our prayers […]
