Prayer of fellowship with Him

Prayer of fellowship with Him

(Prayer that is pleasing to the Lord)

David Wilkerson

When you go to pray now, you say,

“O Lord, I come now not just to have my needs met.

I come now Lord to meet your need.”

I know. Listen. God created Adam and came down for fellowship with him everyday. He wanted it. He needed it. We were made for fellowship with the Lord.

Do you love to be with Him?

What in the world, how can anybody say that they know how to pray or even attempted to pray, if there’s not something in your heart that everyday draws you, woos you? There’s no love, if you don’t have that drawing to the Lord. If you’re not …

I’m not talking about two-minute, five-minute little prayer. I’m talking about shutting the whole world out and saying,

“Oh Lord, You’re my everything.”

That’s the way I praise the Lord. And the Lord knows it.

“Lord, did I not want this world, not its fame, not its money, not its recognition, not its pleasures. I don’t want any of that, Jesus. Because you’ve become the whole delight of my soul, I prefer Your company. I just enjoy Your company.”

When you get in the car, what do you do? You begin to sing. You begin to worship. You begin to enjoy His company.

When everybody around you there’s business. You’ve got company. You’ve got all kinds of things going. Will you do in the heart?

If you really love His reaching out, you can’t wait. Finally you say to everybody

“I’m sorry I’ve got to leave you for a moment.”

Don’t tell them you’re going to prayer. That would be boasting. Just escape. Just vanish. Get alone with Him.

Do you prefer Him above all others? God help us to enjoy completed prayers. Really praying through. This message won’t make you shout but it would change your life, it would affect you from here on out.

When you go to prayer and say,

“Lord, I come for Your pleasure. I come to meet You. This is for Your pleasure.”

it’s a joy.

I know the Bible said they labored in prayer (Colossians 4:12 KJV). But there was a delight in what they’re doing. I prefer not to use that word because the connotation today is obligation and duty.

Some of you, you’ve been praying but seeking the Lord. God wants you to add this one thing.

“Lord, I’m gonna stop talking,

every time I come.

I’m gonna talk to You,

but when I’ve talked out my heart

I’m gonna quit talking.

I’m gonna quit speaking.

I’m gonna sit silent and say,

‘Speak, my Lord.

Speak to my heart.’”

He wants you be able to know you shouldn’t have to go to somebody, you shouldn’t have to come to me, you shouldn’t have to go to any pastor, you shouldn’t have to go to any counselor.

Counselors for those who …

honestly I’m gonna tell you straight out for those who’ve not get learned His voice.

There’s nothing wrong with counselors. That’s fine.

Because there are new converts, there are people not yet learned. That’s good. They will learn eventually they won’t need counselors.

Now you go to Him. He will speak to you.

Some of you here in this morning, you’re cold in heart. You have not been drawn to the Lord. You’re cold. You’re not even lukewarm. You’re cold.

I want you to shake off that coldness and say,

“Jesus, You draw me to Yourself now.”

If you have a spirit of loneliness on you,

if you got a spirit of depression or anything else, just bombarding you

You bring it to the Lord now, and say,

“Lord, I’m gonna listen to You.

You’re gonna tell me how to get out of my loneliness.

You’re gonna tell me what to do and how to do it.”
