Developing a Dialogue With God by Apostle Otis B. Young on Dec. 22, 2025

"Prayer was never intended to be a monologue, but a dialogue." — Apostle Otis B. Young Apostle Otis B. Young delivers a stirring message on the necessity of a vibrant, disciplined prayer life. He shifts the focus from seeking "prophetic words" from people to developing a "direct connect" with the Father. Through a deep dive into scripture and prophetic insight, Apostle Young explains how to identify what hinders our prayers and how to increase our spiritual capacity for the work of the Kingdom. Main Points of the Teaching: -- The Listening Aspect: Prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. Many believers spend 45 minutes telling God their problems but leave no space for Him to speak back. -- The Direct Connect: You do not need to be "prophet-dependent." Through Jesus, our elder brother, every believer has direct access to "the Plug" and can receive direction personally. -- Hindered Prayers: According to Isaiah 1 and Proverbs 28, God may turn a deaf ear to prayers if there is moral corruption, "blood on your hands," or a heart that refuses to obey His law. -- Checking Your Motives: James 4:3 warns that we often do not receive because we ask with "amiss" motives—praying out of jealousy, narcissism, or internal lust rather than God's will. -- Skilled in Combat: Based on 1 Chronicles 5:18, God is looking for people who are both "armed" (possessing the tools) and "skilled" (possessing the training) to handle spiritual warfare. -- Capacity and Willingness: God wants to increase your capacity to serve, but He cannot work past a will that is unwilling to be reassigned or refined for His purposes.
