Prayer House

"I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting." (1 Timothy 2:8 NKJV) The setup of an environment for a solemn assembly invites any spirit-minded man to the prayer altar. Whether on a secluded prayer mountain or within the silent corner of the bed, a praying man will readily lift up holy hands to heaven in a conducive environment, without restraints. Unfortunately, prayers are not designed to be reserved for certain places or zones. Human bodies are expected to be the mobile houses, where prayers are continuously offered. Many ' evils ' are perpetrated without, when the real house within is littered with doubt, malice and anger. A prayer warrior represents the temple or prayer house of impossibility, where holy hands connect heaven and earth.

Self-Encouraging Supplication

"I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting." (1 Timothy 2:8 NKJV) The pursuit of relevance and respect, especially before the female folks, often drive men away from the potency of prayer. Although the world would tilt toward riches, heaven still count on righteousness as the only support for a prevailing prayer. In times of great provocation and seeming helplessness, holy hands can still hold heaven from breaking loose, if discouragement is not entertained. Irrespective of where we are, or were made to stand, it is how we stand that matters to God - unto whom our supplication comes.
