Summary
Zac Poonen teaches on maintaining your first love for Jesus by establishing a daily practice of listening to God in the early morning. Drawing from Revelation 2 (the letter to Ephesus) and Isaiah 50, he emphasizes that true prayer means keeping your heart open to God's voice throughout the entire day, not just during scheduled prayer times—much like a police officer with a radio constantly tuned to headquarters. He encourages believers to spend at least 5-15 minutes each morning in quiet communion with Jesus before the day's work begins.
