Despite the fact that there may be millions of people praying to God each day, he delights in hearing your voice, for he has no
duplicate of you. This is the reason you should always put yourself into prayers. Get personal with the Lord, knowing that you are talking to someone who is actually listening to you; a rational being, who feels. Don’t pray as though God is a computer.
Some folks are too stiff and religious in their prayers! “O Lord”, they begin, “Thou art so great and I am so small and insignificant in thy sight”; as though God only spoke “King James” English. Then when they lift their hands to sing a song of worship there is hardly any expression of emotions. Don’t be that way! Be passionate with the Lord.
God called David a man after his own heart (Acts 13:22), because among other things, David was so passionate with the Lord. When he prayed, he poured his soul into his prayers and this reflected in the several inspired Psalms he penned for us in the scriptures. David was a man who knew how to pray with emotions, this is why he enjoyed such a fellowship with God.
You have got to learn how to unwind yourself in the presence of the Lord. If you are yet to experience the kind of praying where, out of love, awe and reverence, you break down in profuse tears before the Lord, then you are missing too much. If you have’nt prayed till you were full of the spirit, laughing, dancing, prophesying and singing in the spirit, you have got to make up your mind to experience it.
Pray with your heart and your emotions and involve the totality of your being. There is an awesome blessing that comes from having such intimacy with the Lord.
SCRIPTURES: Psalm 42:1, James 5:16 and Psalm 63:1-4). Glory to God!

HEBREWS 10:12, 14, KJV
But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God... For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.
God sees you with no flaw, spot or imperfection, so honor His Word and the finished work of His Son by saying, “Amen!” Don’t doubt your perfection in Christ.

To see yourself as being far from perfect is not modesty, but a failure to understand the perfect sacrifice that Jesus has made for you.

The Bible tells us, “For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”. Did you get that? You have not only been sanctified, that is, made holy, but by the same offering of His body, you have been perfected. You are both holy and perfect in God’s eyes!

Your sins have been purged perfectly. Today, Jesus is seated at His Father’s right hand not because He is the Son of God (although that is true), but because His work of purging your sins is completely finished and perfect!

So instead of being conscious of your sins, which is to have an evil conscience (Hebrews 10:22), you can have a perfect conscience, a conscience that is free from the guilt and condemnation of sins.

When you find yourself conscious of your sins, just say, “Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your wonderful work at the cross. It is a perfect work that has removed all my sins completely.

“Holy Spirit, thank You for convicting me of righteousness, not my own, but God’s righteousness given to me as a gift. Keep on convicting me in the days to come, reminding me especially when I fail that I am still the righteousness of God in Christ.”

My friend, God sees you perfect without any spot of sin. He sees you covered in the beautiful white robes of His own righteousness. He treats you as a righteous man because that is what He has made you. So expect good things to happen to you because blessings are on the head of the righteous! (Proverbs 10:6)

YOU ARE PERFECT IN GOD’S EYES by Pastor Joseph prince
