After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
(Revelation 4:1)
One reason our prayers are so ineffective is because we often perform them as a token obligation. A vibrant prayer life comes from carving out a significant block of time and expecting a prophetic interface to occur. Prayer should be dynamic and interactive; simply put, God will open a door and invite us to peek ahead at the events which will shortly occur, so that we know how to pray, or what to ask for.
The invitation stands: come up here. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me...[to] sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." (Revelation 3:20-21)
There are many things to overcome, many doubts and distractions, in order to ascend to this level of prayer. Have you ever tasted it?
God longs for us to come up.
If you are tired of token prayers, tired and listless religion, and a powerless life, then persue it with everything in you!
