The Siddur Project
Responsibilities & Duties to Pray
I write this entry with thanks to God for His blessings over all the times we presented the seminar, “Knocking on Heaven’s Gates” this summer. Our sessions went well, and the message was very warmly received throughout the US. This was an overwhelming blessing for all of us here at FFOZ because we did not anticipate such a positive response.
I typically open the seminar with my own personal testimony in the area of prayer, and how it has impacted me and brought me into new levels of intimacy with the Father.
I continue to express how a biblical understanding regarding my duties and responsibilities in the area of prayer has transformed my relationship with God and helped me more clearly understand who I am in the Messiah. I like to conclude by sharing how a dedicated and disciplined prayer life makes a tremendous impact in every area of our lives, even though it can be very difficult to implement.
Prayer has become such an important part of my life—in fact, to relate this in a letter would be impossible. A few months ago, I finally put my finger on why it has had such an impact in my life. Prayer essentially means “bonding with God.” And this translates into having an intimate connection to God; it means sharing our hurts, needs and frustrations and opening our mouths to allow words of praise, love, adoration, and exaltations to arise to Him on a daily basis.
The new DVD and the CD teachings of the seminar, “Knocking on Heaven’s Gates” are now complete and available from our online Store. I would encourage you to get these teachings, learn from them, and begin to understand our responsibilities and duties to pray.
