Warfare Prayer, Part 5 – YouTube 

 

 

Show Notes:

It’s our duty as Christians to restrain the advancement of the antichrist spirit and hinder his every work. The way we do that is through the explosive power of prayer. We need to move prayer back to the forefront of our worship service.

 

There are a multitude of people who have grown up in church but still don’t know what praying really means. We don’t know how to fight. The army of Christ is disorganized, undisciplined, and unable to fight. We don’t ask to learn. We take coldness in prayer as the acceptable norm.

 

It’s time we engage with God and learn how to pray. Our warfare is to reach the heart of God and see Him move. If we could employ our weapons of warfare in the proper way, we could turn the battle.

 

There’s a humble boldness to be found as we come to the throne and pray the will of God. He is waiting for someone who would pray the prayer of faith and believe Him, not backing up. That is what every revival was made of.

 

The need of the hour and the emphasis in house church is to find those who have the spirit of prayer. It’s time for the children of God to pray a Prayer of Importunity – which means a shameless, troublesome, urgent, overly-persistent request or demand. Our father in heaven will give better than our fathers on earth if we shamelessly make petitions.

 

One of the biggest things we need to do is pray for division in the kingdom of Satan. Satan has been scattering the powers of the holy people, and we need to see a scattering of the unholy. We are in a war and the number one enemy is religion itself.

 

When we engage the wicked one, he will fight back. We can expect that. But we need to keep in our spirit that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. There is no match.

 

In this podcast, Teryl Hebert teaches on the power of praying in tongues; putting on the whole armor of God; pulling down strongholds the enemy uses to torment and prevent victory; learning how to pray from the Lord’s Prayer; and connecting with God through a proper attitude of worship as we see what’s going on around the throne of heaven and we begin to exalt the glory of God.

 

When are we going to fight? If not now, when? If not us, who? Lord, teach us to pray. If we can’t learn to pray, if we can’t watch and pray, if we can’t keep guard and pray, if we can’t stay alert and pray, if we can’t keep our lamps full of extra oil and pray, how will we be resurrected from the dead?
