When we learn to pray in the Word of God according to His Spirit we become THE most powerful person on earth! Even when the weakest Christian falls on their knees all of hell trembles...You know why? Cause the enemy CAN NOT come up against a praying Christian who is in God's Word! We're in an ATOMIC Spiritual bond
Let me tell you...age has NOTHING to do with it! Little Parker, Rainey,Jesse w/ the Smyers, Emily, Carla, Laura, Nathan...Anyone of these and others...ANYBODY! In 2Chronicles 7:14 it says: if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Everything that is available to the God Head is made available to the person who prays!
I also believe that it is difficult to sin while your in prayer..So if you are struggling get on your knees....I don't care how stinkin long it takes! If we need to be on our knees for hours and they go numb...SO BE IT!
LISTEN PEOPLE! The enemy knows the power of prayer greater than we do! We need to be in the business of rattling those gates! How you ask....PRAYER! How do we keep a desire to pray??? Pray Romans 12:11 for yourself! It says:
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
In a word study zeal means: enthusiastic devotion and fervor means intense heat.
So...putting them together it would read like this
Never be lacking in enthusiastic devotion but keep your intense heat serving the Lord. We need to strive to make time for prayer! I know most of us would never out loud say..Prayer isn't important...But we do ALOT in the way we live our lives! EVERYTIME we get up to do "our ministry" ( whether it's a paid ministry, our family, our job...)When we head into whatever is we do/are doing and we don't anoint it in prayer...we have boldly said prayers for this is not important..I can do it on my own! We have just pleased the enemy!
Oh, LORD may we desire to run to Your table and feast upon Your Word, that we would allow it to truly nourish us with Your AWESOME POWER! Lord help us to want You to infiltrate us that we purposely pray in the power of the Father,Son and Holy Spirit, that we realize that in doing so we help choose the course of human history! Lord remind us that when we pray we are acknowledging Your presence. Oh Mighty King may we make a conscience effort to be on our knees physically so that we will not only be humble and reverent as we approach Your throne, but that it will show the enemy in our posture the reverence we have in You as true Lord and Savior and by doing so May we physically and Spiritually rock the gates of hell and make the enemy tremble!
