Growing In Prayer

1.      From: Mike Bickle, Growing In Prayer

The inner man is the soul. The mind and emotions make up the man’s soul, thus being referred to in Ephesians 3:14-16 in The Bible as the inner man. As we have moved through the course, I have begun to see how one’s inner man is changed through the communication and journeys that we label as sacred. The act of prayer is one that causes a feeling within the inner man that can reassure, assist, and develop. Prayer, as a whole, allows us to continue moving forward while knowing that we are being heard. Bickle describes this strengthening of the inner man through personal prayer to The Holy Spirit as one of the highest callings in our life. The communication highways opened within the context of a sacred journey only increase in number as we go along. Bickle goes further to explain how people normally see prayer is only praying for other things, people, or places, but prayer can also be self-focused. I believe that the sacred journey could be just the place for true, beneficial self-focused prayer to take hold.
