Mt:13:44: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field;
when a man has found this treasure, he hides it again, and because of his
joy over it goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
"The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step."
A Praying Saint Does Not Faint
Keep on keepin' on.
Prayer is a process.
Keep pressing. Keep praying.
Be consistent and persistent.
For whom have you prayed today? Did you uncover any treasure for their
life? Prayer is a process. Prayer uncovers secret treasures of the
kingdom of God on our behalf and behalf of others.
John 14:26: But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The kingdom of heaven is full of hidden treasure. When we discover this
kingdom we are willing to give all that we are and have to uncover the
treasure and make it ours. Too often we forget where we hid the treasure
we found. Our map becomes aged and worn. When we become lax in our prayer
life or any other part of our Christian walk, the lustre of the treasure
becomes less than brilliant, and we spend less time enjoying it.
The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, can take us back to our former joy. He
can take us back to what we knew and where we had been. He can uncover the
treasures of the kingdom again so that our joy would be full.
Recently, a man came severly oppressed. His skin was dark. His head was
bent down. Through insight in prayer, the Holy Spirit touched him. His
blood pressure that was killing him came immediately under control. At
the release of the pressure, he spontaneously began to laugh. The one praying
for him began to laugh. The man was so happy that he gave his heart to
Jesus. He had never really met Jesus before. He had never really seen
the treasure in the field of the kingdom of heaven. Prayer was the key.
Intercessors had been praying for weeks for heath, deliverance, and
salvation for people in the area. Intercessors had been praying before and
during the service. The ministry team was praying. The Holy Spirit
uncovered joy in prayer.
Joy in prayer is one of those treasures in the field. Treasure your
prayer life, and it will fill you with joy again and again. Allow the Holy
Spirit to uncover joy in your prayer life again.
Psalm 46: 4: There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the
city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5: God is in
the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right
early.

Gather Your Heart And Pray
Father, release Your Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, uncover the treasure of
the kingdom. Let me see the hand of the Father in response to prayer. Let my
joy be full. Help me to go back to a part of the treasure so that I might
see You more fully. Father, You are the treasure. When you touch lives
around me and touch me, I am full of joy, the tresure is exposed.
Increase my faithfulness to pray and uncover the treasure.
