Prayer Authenticity - Desire and Desperation
Prayer
A Movement of God Among the Bhojpuri of North India - Persistent Prayer
"Without persistent prayer, I am convinced there wouldn’t be a movement among the Bhojpuri.
I recently sat in a room with the top Bhojpuri church planters.
Each of these church planters and their teams planted at least 50 churches per year.
One team planted 500 churches the year before.
A research group, engaged to verify our numbers, wondered about possible common threads in what they saw in church planting among the Bhojpuri.
They started asking questions to see if they could discover common elements present among church planters.
They asked, “How much time do you spend in prayer?”
As they went around the room reporting, my jaw dropped.
Team leaders spent an average of three hours a day in personal prayer.
After that, they spent another three hours praying with their teams everyday.
One day a week the leaders fasted and prayed.
Their teams spent one weekend a month fasting and praying.
Many of these leaders maintained secular jobs while engaged in their church planting.
They got up to pray at 4 a.m. and were at work by 10 a.m.
James tells us: “The intense prayer of the righteous is very powerful” (, HCSV).
James was right.
Just look at the Bhojpuri."

Future Realities
If you write a Psalm giving a picture of your relationship with God, how would it compare?
Do you have desire for God and desperation to see his mission accomplished?
Are we all in and serving God?
Trusting God?
Satisfied in God?
Depth of Relationship with God
Prayer time is increased by a depth of relationship with God and a desperate need for his urgent intervention.
Without this it's just great repetition and discipline.
It still takes discipline, but it's joy.
