If you realize prayer, your soul and body will be healed, and you’ll remain within the streams of the Word, prayer, and evangelism. It isn’t praying and asking for help when it’s difficult or asking to be healed when you’re sick. True prayer is doing deep breathing and calling on the name of Jesus Christ 24 hours a day.
Then, how can you enjoy 24-hour prayer?

1. The Answer That Sees the Stream
Obadiah, who secretly raised one hundred disciples and influenced Elisha, was a person of prayer. However, he didn’t pray for success or prosperity; instead, he prayed to seek the necessities of the age. As a result, God entrusted that age to the one who saved the posterity and prayed by seeing the spiritual crisis that the nation faced. So, when problems come and if you don’t know prayer, you’ll will be seized by them. However, those who know prayer will find answers, gain victory without fighting, and do works that please God.

2. A 24-Hour Prayer System
Within the stream of the Word, you’ll find the calling and mission given by God. Within the stream of prayer, you’ll enjoy the answer of the throne that transcends time and space. At that time, you and your work will be connected, and you’ll have a connection with your church. Moreover, evangelism and missions will actually take place in your life. Finally, if you enjoy the mystery of 24-hour prayer in the field, you’ll experience true peace and joy that cannot be found anywhere else.

Such people who save their families, workplaces, schools, and everyone they meet are evangelists whom the “world is not worthy of.”

Dear God, please help me look 24-hours a day to Jesus Christ who has resolved all problems and lead me to live 24-hours a day within Your love. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* Have You Ever Heard This Hymn?

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father's throne, make all my wants and wishes known! In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief, and oft escaped the tempter's snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for Thy return!
With such I hasten to the place where God, my Savior, shows His face. and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear to Him, whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless: and since He bids me seek His face, believe His Word, and trust His grace, I'll cast on Him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer, our Lord Himself knew gladness there; and often times, when thronged about, would slip away and seek it out, and pray all night in field or hill, while all the clamoring world grew still. His ways to walk, His joys to share, 'tis thee we need, sweet hour of prayer.
