Warfare Prayer, Part 4 – YouTube
Show Notes:
The need of the hour is to bring prayer to the centerpiece and focal of our worship. Prayer needs to become our worship, where we are seated before God and waiting on Him, instead of being overly focused on entertainment.
We need to learn how to pray.
Every promise of God in the New Testament is predicated on us being found in Christ. The promises of God are absolute when we are in Christ. We have to understand the same spirit that dwelt in Christ, The Anointed, is now dwelling in us.
Too often our prayers are unanswered because we are not meeting the criteria. We have to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked ways. The problem is people do not think repentance is necessary.
Everything is predicated on a clean heart. Offense is the trap of the devil, and the greatest move of faith is to get all offenses against God, others, and ourselves out of our heart.
We are the restraining agent of God and are given the mandate to restrain the wicked one. The power to restrain is when we, as watchmen, call upon His might through prayer. It is time we understand our strength is in the power of God as we humble ourselves and yield.
If we are going to engage in Warfare Prayer, we need to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might as we put on the whole armor of God and stand against the wiles of our opponent and adversary, the devil. We need to stand against the work of the devil, taking our stand and not backing up.
It is time to engage in war-type mentality. We need to put the devil in a death grip and render him useless. He uses one method, and it is lies – he lies to you so you will be afraid. If he can do this, he wins. We have to stand against lies by standing with truth. We have to stand against fear by standing in faith. We have to be bold.
It is time for some unusual faith from the people of God, and it is an hour to see a great move of God in prayer.
2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
