“You know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” [James 1:3]
Persistence is the pressing of our desires on God with urgency and perseverance. It is praying with courage until our cries are heard.
The man who has an intimate relationship with God appreciates his privilege of approaching God in prayer.
Prayer that influences God is said to be the outpouring of the fervent, effectual righteous man. It is prayer on fire.
It does not have a feeble, flickering flame or a momentary spark, but shines with a vigorous, steady glow.
“Dear God, I want my prayers to be effectual. Ignite spirit with the vigorous, steady glow of Your presence so that my prayers may bring You glory. Amen.” [The Power of Prayer]
