"PRAYER TAKE US TO GOD"

"Yet now, if You will forgive their sin--but if not,
I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have
written.  
                                               EXODUS 32 : 32


Prayer is not designed to change God; it is
designed to change us. Prayer is not calling God
in to bless our activity. Rather, prayer takes us
into God's presence, shows us His will, and
prepare us to obey Him.
     Moses climbed mount Sinai and spent forty
days communing with God. God showed him
the wickedness of the people (Exod.32:7).
Moses had not known their desperate condition;
nor had he realized the imminence of God's
judgment upon them until God revealed  it to
him. As God made Moses aware of all that was
at stake, Moses felt same compassion for the
people that God felt. Moses became willing to
sacrifice his own life for his obstinate people.
In a compelling and selfless prayer of
intercession, Moses offered to have his own
name blotted out of the book of life if God
would spare the people. In Moses time  with
Him, God had formed a mighty intercessor
for His people.
     God will use your prayer times to soften
your heart and change your focus. As you pray
for others, the Holy Spirit will work in your
heart so that you have the same compassion for
them that God does (Rom. 8;26-27). If you do
not love people as you should, pray for them.
If you are not active in God's service as you
know He wants you to be, begin praying. You
cannot be intimately exposed to God's heart
and remain complacent. The time spent with
God will change you and make you move like
Christ.
