PRAYER

Prayer is a Powerful Resource Against Your Enemy's Reign.

Did you know that since sin entered the world through the sin of Adam, that Satan has been known as the prince of this world? He is the fallen angel and he prowls around the earth, like a roaring lion, looking for someone he may devour, (1 Peter 5:8). The Bible tells us that his desire, his purpose, is "to kill and to steal and to destroy" us, God's kids, (John 10:10). But God has given us weapons with which we can wage war against our enemy. One of those weapons is prayer. Prayer is powerful. Ephesians 6:12 tells us that our battle is not against humans and will not be fought with traditional weapons, such as guns and bombs. Instead, we must use the weapons God gave us to fight this war in the heavenly realms; we must pray. Our prayers activate God's angels--His troops--who fight on our behalf against Satan's army.

You may never see the physical fruits of your labor of love--prayer--as you pray for the protection over your loved ones. But just think, as they are protected and blessed, isn't it better to know that you're praying and they're protected instead of leaving them vulnerable to attacks that are certain?
