PRAYING ALWAYS ...

 

By: Norm Rasmussen

 

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints   - Ephesians 6:18

 


 

Does it strike you strange at all . . .  that God should have to remind His people that prayer is a weapon?  

 

Really . . . think about it.   Why would God have to remind us that prayer is a WEAPON to fight against demonic powers that wage war against Christian believers? 

 

Why really is it that the devil so wants to discourage us in our prayer lives? 

 

Why really is it the devil so wants to bring so much confusion as to what kind of praying is correct or incorrect?  

 

Why really is it that the devil wants to make praying in tongues, or not praying in tongues, such an issue?

 

Why really would the devil not want you to have the gift of tongues either!? 

 

Why really is it that we have such little confidence in our prayers period, no matter what language they are prayed in?   

 

I submit to you the reason God told us that prayer is a weapon against evil is because He knew how intense Satan and his demons would work at keeping believers from realizing at all times just how valuable and important a weapon against evil prayer actually is!

 

Satan does not want you and I realizing how potent a weapon prayer is against him – that’s the bottom line!  Let's say it again: Satan does not want you and I believing how potent our prayers can be against him.   Oh sure … he doesn’t mind if you kind of believe that the prayers of others have power over him - maybe ... but for goodness sakes, not your prayers!  Why … you know how little faith you have in your prayers, don’t you?  How many times has that subtle little thought crossed your mind in a day since you became a born again believer?  About a thousand times or more, maybe?  Can't even count that high, maybe?

 

“Would someone please turn off that obnoxious - stupid - stuck record!”
