For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
I would just like to submit this post to call anyone who calls themselves Christians to pray.
We as christians have been enlisted into a struggle. A struggle against the devil. But as it says in Eph 6:12, our battle is not of the physical it is of the spiritual. How do we enter into this battle, this struggle, this war. Through prayer.
In acts 12 Peter was thrown into prison by Herod. But it says that the saints prayed without ceasing for Him! And an angel of the Lord came and led him out of the prison and freed Peter from the hand of Herod.
Even in Mark when Jesus is cleansing the temple of the tax collect He says “My house is a house of prayer”
In Ephesians Paul cries out for the church to pray in the Spirit with perseverance and to petition for all the saints.
So pray saints because prayer does make a difference! Did not Moses intercede for the nation of Isreal? Did not Elijah stop the rain from coming for 3 years? It says that those with the faith of a mustered seed can move mountains. But it is not because we are great but because God’s Spirit is living inside us and guiding us in prayer…
Recently I have seen how vicious the enemy truly is. He will stop at nothing to cause the saints of God to stumble. He will stop at nothing to bring those who are lost to hell. He is using every strength he has to destroy what God has made. How can I not respond with as much fervor? How can I not do everything that is within me to stop the enemy. How can I not cry out for the salvation of my friends? How can I not cry out for those who have fallen into sin to be set free from sin? How can I not… God responds to our prayers!
Brother and sisters in Christ pray out to God. Call on His name and be answered. I acknowledge that I do not do this as much as I should. I am in the same boat as all of you. But praise God that He is changing us into His children. It says in 1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is”
“Jesus fill me with your Holy Spirit, God guide me in you attribute. Spirit lead me when to pray and how to pray because I often forget. Change me Lord into you.”
Let the Grace of Jesus Christ be with you all.
