The most precious portion in the book of Daniel is in chapter 9:24-27, where we see God’s response to Daniel’s interceding and supplicating for the people of Israel. God revealed to Daniel the entire future history of the people of Israel, all encapsulated in the vision of the seventy weeks. Throughout history, there have been many who […]
Christ Needs to Increase in Us to Fill All in All Until He Fills the Whole Earth
God’s desire is to bring in His kingdom on the earth, but the earth is under Satan’s usurpation and what we see today is “a great human image”, the human government (which rebels against God, exalts man, and worships idols). But Christ as a stone cut without hands will return together with His overcomers and […]

The Lord Jesus tells us in Matt. 26:41, Watch and pray – the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Paul continues the Lord’s speaking on this matter and strengthens it by saying, Praying at every time in spirit, and, Persevering in prayer (Col. 4:2; Eph. 6:18). For us to watch in prayer implies […]
Enjoying the Benefits of Daily Persevering in Prayer with the Lord
![Through prayer we set our mind on the things which are above, where Christ is (Col. 3:2). The best way to wet our mind on the things in the heavens is through prayer. [In the picture: Whether or not our prayer is answered is secondary. The primary thing is that grace flows like a river from the throne and into our being.]](https://i0.wp.com/mail.agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/primary-thing-grace-flows-like-a-river.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1)
Persevering in prayer has many benefits, enriching both our spiritual life and our relationship with the Lord and with the Body of Christ.

In relation to the revival and restoration aspired for by all believers and unbelievers alike, there are many aspects and prayers all throughout the Minor Prophets.

Every living thing in the universe desires to be revived and restored, and the entire creation groans and travails in pain together until now, eagerly awaiting to be freed from the slavery of corruption (see Rom. 8:20-22). Since Adam fell and brought the entire old creation into the fall, there has been in all of […]

The aspiration for revival and restoration can be seen everywhere in the Bible, and especially in the Minor Prophets. On the one hand, Habakkuk prayed for revival (Hab. 3:2); on the other hand, Hosea speaks of, Let us return to Jehovah… on the third day He will raise us up and we will live in […]
