Today's teaching reminded us that the Church "the man in Christ" has been made the house of prayer. Through the finished work of Christ, the Spirit has been poured out lavishly, granting every believer bold access into God's presence (Hebrews 10:19).
Prayer is not a liberty we struggle to create; it is a reality already made available through Christ. Our responsibility is to lay hold of this provision and walk in it by faith.
From Zechariah 12:10, we learned that the Spirit of grace and supplication is the Holy Spirit expressing Himself in and through believers, producing earnest, Spirit-aided prayer.
Just as the fountain opened in Zechariah 13:1 was for cleansing, God's grace prepares us to stand before Him and pray with confidence rather than human effort.
Finally, we were challenged to "catch" this spirit of prayer by continually exposing ourselves to God's Word and by staying in the company of people who carry this grace.
God's desire is not that we merely pray, but that we pray with ease under the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we remain yielded to Him, the burden of prayer is sustained by the Spirit, and our lives increasingly become true houses of prayer.
