I N T E N S I T Y I = Integrity (Genesis 20:5,7,14) N = Nothing else (1 Samuel 1:4,5,9) T = Travail of the soul (Isaiah 53:11) E = earnestly in supplication (Luke 22:44) N = Nobody else (psalm 107:12,14) S = Sense of urgency (Genesis 32:6,7,24-26) I = Intimacy with the Father (Number 12:7,8) T = Trusting only in God (Psalm 4:4) Y = Yielding completely to God (2 Samuel 24:14) Intensity in prayer is demonstrated by the righteous whose fervent prayer avails much. Watch Jacob at Peniel; observe Elijah on mount Carmel; visit the plains of Mamre with Abraham as he intercedes for Sodom; follow Moses to the mount where he pleads for backslidden Israel on the verge of destruction; kneel beside Daniel as he prays for Israels seventy-years captivity to end; feel the great heaviness and continual sorrow in Pauls heart as he cries in prayer for the salvation of his kinsmen according to the flesh; and you will catch a glimpse of what is means to knock with importunity and intensity. We shall knock and the door will be opened; we shall also decree a thing and it shall be established unto us.
