Praying vs Preaching

Don’t let your desire for preaching become greater than your desire to pray. 

Not just talking to preachers but talking to every born again believer. 

Matthew 10:5-9

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

He’s talking to His disciples…if you are a disciple of Jesus then he is talking to you.

6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses… 

Talking to his disciples Jesus commands them to go preach… if you are a true disciple of Christ then you are called to preach.. you must understand that doesn’t mean you hold a bible and microphone every week and stand before a local congregation and preach. You are called to spread the gospel. 

But please know, aside from preaching, you are called and anointed to be a prayer warrior! All of us are anointed to pray. 

Too many “preachers” want the microphone to preach more than they want to get on their knees to pray! Some call that “microphone lust”. They want to preach.. and that’s ok.. but your desire needs to be to want to pray more than preach. We must understand that we must pray more than preach. Jesus spent much more time in prayer than he did in front of people preaching he would have never seen the miracles that he saw, Had he not spent the time alone and in the wilderness, praying before God.

Prayer is to your spirit what breath is to your body…. It’s a necessity!
