Word of the Lord: Exposing “Prayer” Addiction

Prophetic Insight

I know this is a strange blog title. You’re probably thinking, “Prayer addiction is supposed to be a good thing right? We are supposed to love it, and walk in it with intense passion.”

You are absolutely right. THAT KIND of passion for prayer is good; however, there are believers who are addicted to having OTHERS pray for them. Their passion is not unto Father, but unto man. As long as they CAN GET PRAYER — with no effort of their own — they will never learn to pray for themselves and get breakthrough. You see, their discernment is heightened enough that they “KNOW” Father will answer YOUR prayers for them, but they “REFUSE” to take the plunge into the deeper depths of their prayer relationship for themselves.

Prophetic Writing vs.Christian Writing: Is there a difference? (2)

Posted on by Theresa Harvard Johnson

Yes, there is.

Prophetic writers are indeed Christian writers, meaning we believe fully in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ (Yeshua). The difference, however, lies in our approach to writing and the focus of our ministry.

Before continuing, there are many writers who are indeed prophetic (writing and releasing the heart and mind of Father) who do not see the need to identify themselves as prophetic. They are simply following the inspiration of the Spirit. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. As a people, we must walk within our own metron.

Book Review: Spiritual Violence, Passionate Prayer Poems by David Gumlia

Spiritual Violence: Passionate Prayer Poems
By David Gumlia
Reviewed by Theresa Harvard Johnson

The spirit of King David comes forcefully through the pages of Spiritual Violence: Passionate Prayer Poems written by David Gumlia.  They vividly capture the authors desperation and pursuit of God’s presence and a cry for us to do the same. It is truly prophetic, at least to me, that he shares this patriarchs name.

Like King David, there is an overflow of deep love and affection for God. At the same time, there is a constant, consistent reminder that we are merely human in His presence and that  He is a God to be feared.

Deep Calls Unto Deep: Passionate Prayer Poems
By David Gumlia
Reviewed by Theresa Harvard Johnson

“When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.” – John F. Kennedy

This former president understood the impact of poetry upon a man’s consciousness. It’s no surprise that for centuries, societies around the world has valued its existence. They have embraced its ability to describe a generation and capture cultural sentiment. They have welcomed its observance of the depths of love and the intense magnitude of loss. They’ve even watched poetry evolve, capturing beauty in ways that can only be complimented by the limitless expression of art, music and dance. Poetry is an art form that is without limitations and one that always has an audience – even if that audience is of one.
