Prayer has fruit
(Isaiah 6:1-8)
Life has become complicated. It is a very busy time.(…) In the midst of the complexity, people are so busy that they cannot pray.(…) Someone asked what prayer was, and he said, “It is like a wrestling.” Wrestling is intense. Hannah's prayer, Gethsemane's prayer, and Jacob's prayer were as intense as wrestling. He also said that prayer is like lobbying.(…) You cannot enter the throne of God but ask God in the name of Jesus in the lobby of God’s temple.(…) If you pray well, there are many fruits. In the year that King Uzziah died, Isaiah went up to the temple and lobbied God. There were many fruits.(…)
(1) There were fruits of spiritual experience.
While praying for the kingdom in the temple, Isaiah had three spiritual experiences. ① I had the grace to see God.(…) ② I had a spiritual experience of forgiveness of sins.(…) ③ I heard the earnest voice of God.(…) Through these three spiritual experiences, Isaiah’s faith grew and the people He became a righteous man who comforted, encouraged, rebuked, and set the people upright. Everyone! Come to the temple. Please fill the seats and pray like Isaiah. If you cannot come out in the morning, please set a time at any time and pray for the country, economy, and Shinchon Church like Isaiah did. I hope that you will be blessed by seeing God while praying for your family and work.(…)
(2) I have acquired honest eyes to look at myself.
(…) Humans have an accurate view of others. So, I see and point out other people's shortcomings and weaknesses very well.(…) But the problem is that I cannot look at myself, and because of that, I am not aware of my own folly and shortcomings.(…) I cannot see myself honestly. It's time to pray before God. When I read the Word of God, I see my life. They come to know their weakness and folly, their arrogance and uncleanness before God. So, as soon as Isaiah saw God in the temple of God, he confessed his shame. Everyone! I pray that by participating in early morning prayer, late night prayer, and New Moon prayer, you will realize your life of pride and ignorance of your own shortcomings, and the life you complained about without knowing your sins, repent and become holy and faithful people of God.
