Back To The Closet



Looking to the Lord in prayer is not a duty or a chore. It is our lifeline. Going back to closet again and again shows that we are a needy people who desperately need the Lord every moment of our lives. Show me a man or a woman who is prayerful and you see a strong Christian who stands firm in the Lord.

In my time at Calvary Charismatic Centre (currently known as Victory Family Centre) from 1983 to 2000, we had plenty of opportunities to gather in small group as well as corporate prayer. It helped to lay the foundation of prayer in my life. Those times of prayer yielded fruits that I am tasting up till today. God is a prayer answering God. He hears our heart cry and reaches out to us in His love.  He is our helper in times of need.  There is nothing our God cannot do.

Prayer helps us to stay in tune with the Lord. Prayer helps us to keep in step with the Spirit In our times of prayer, we are built up and strengthened and we allow God to speak into our lives. The power of the Holy Spirit comes upon us when to draw near to God. The forces of darkness are pushed back when the light of Christ shines in all its brightness.
