Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

There is such a thing as “prayer muscles”. Physically, in order to build a strong body, you have to develop your muscles by exercise and training. No one goes into the gym and began lifting higher weights. One has to begin with what he can lift at the time, and with constant practice, he keeps adding to the weight. This is how the great body builders have done over the years.

Recently I read a little about John Cena the wrestler. When he was in school, he was weak hence he got bullied by the bullies. In order to stand against these bullies, at age 12 he decided to start weightlifting. By age 25 he was a professional wrestler. He is one of the few wrestlers who have won the heavy weight championship more than anyone else. He is among the highest paid wrestlers in the world. It all started when he decided to build his muscles.

It is not different spiritually. Folks who refuse to develop their prayer muscles will have the devil bully them. There is such thing as spiritual bullying. The devil preys on weak folks. He does not prey on strong believers in Christ. To stay strong spiritually, you must of necessity build your prayer muscles.

None of us just started praying up to 3 hours or more. We all began somewhere praying for 30 minutes, then 1 hour, then 2 hours, then 3 hours, then 4 hours and on and on we got by. You just have to start from somewhere. The moment you receive the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues, there is power in you; and you can stay on in prayers for a long time.

Your prayer life is something no one can do for you. It is your total responsibility to develop your own prayer life. I don’t think it is a difficult thing to do. You can begin to develop your prayer muscles by desire. Then you join the prayer group in your church or attend anointed prayer meetings. Then cultivate the discipline to pray personally.

Start by speaking in tongues for about 15 minutes. Next time up it to 30 minutes. Then very soon, it will become waters to swim. Build your prayer muscles today.
