DANGERS IN PEOPLE WHO DONT PRAY.

"Lord, teach us to pray." –Luke 11:1
The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray,,
the same question is still being asked even today.
Prayer is the excercise of Faith and Hope.
We place our petition before God for our healing,forgiveness,intercessory and other needs through and also we converse with God.
However if we dont pray, its like we have no time to spend with God. We dont have that opportunity to tell God of our issues and problems.
Prayerlessness is a sin, with terrible consequences.
1 Samuel 12:23                "Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.
WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO DONT PRAY
In Job 21, the scriptures describes what happens to people who dont seek the Lord.
Job 21:13  They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
1. THEY HAVE NO DESIRE FOR THE LORD
Job 21:14  Yet they say to God, 'Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.
Job 21:15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?'
2. THEY HAVE NO COUNSELL WITH THE LORD
Job 21:16 Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Meaning the Lord cant hear people who don't ask Him anything,because they have rejected Him.
3. THEY HAVE NO DIRECTION IN LIFE
Job 21:17
"How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? How often does their destruction come upon them, the sorrows God distributes in His anger?
Meaning, they live in darkness. Their paths head to destruction ""hell"" and suffer when the wrath of God comes upon them.
4.THEIR CHILDREN ARE CURSED AS A RESULT
Job 21:19
They say, 'God lays up one's iniquity for his children'; let Him recompense him, that he may know it.
5.THEY HAVE NO ROOTS, THEY DIE EARLY
Job 21:18
They are like straw before the wind, and like chaff that a storm carries away.
Pray Without Ceasing.
