| WARFARE IN PRAYER |
||||||||||||||||||
| Lord, there are so many needs to pray for right now. We stand together seeking Your healing, Your provision, Your intervention, Your salvation for many people in many different situations. More and more we find ourselves standing against the enemy and his plans to kill, steal, and destroy in people's lives. We see You answering prayer, healing, working in so many ways. But there can still come such a feeling of dread over my own heart--a fear that lies under the surface and then overtakes me. Is this warfare, or am I just weak and depressed? |

| My dear child, of course you are weak but only when you face life without Me. I am your strong and mighty covering and refuge. There is most definitely a war going on, and the more that you are engaged in prayer by the power of My name and against the enemy, the more that you are a target and an object of his hatred and fear. Do you feel a sense of fear? That is nothing compared to the terror he experiences when you get on your knees and come under the covering of My name and My shed blood. He would do anything to distract you and paralyze you so that you would not pray. He may know your weaknesses and how to get your attention, but he also knows that you are loved by Me and are in the very center of My heart. My eyes are on you every moment, and I wait for you to use My name to move My hands in compassion and love and mercy to those you pray for. You have nothing to fear. My love for you includes all those that you hold dear for you are praying for them with your every breath. Remember to pray speaking the blessing you want for them rather than to only rehearse your worries before Me. It has been My design from the beginning to work out My will with you participating by asking and speaking the blessing that I will pour out on the world around you. If you fail to speak the blessing, My hands wait for someone else to move them. It is My heart and will to heal, to bless, to redeem, to provide, to prosper, to restore, to do far more than all you could ask or think. Do not live in fear or be intimidated by the enemy of your soul, for he has no real power over you. He has been defeated and all he can hope for is to make you ineffective by his tactics. He wants you to believe that you are on your own and to forget that you have an Advocate and Friend who stands at the Father's right hand for you. Bring your mountain to Me. Bring the hearts of those you love to Me. Bring that impossible circumstance to Me. Bring that sickness to Me. Bring that net worth to Me. Bring that barren desert to Me. Bring that marriage to Me. Bring that financial challenge to Me. Bring that broken relationship to Me. Bring that aging parent to Me. Bring your spouse, children, and grandchildren to Me. Bring that job situation to Me. Bring that dream to Me. Bring that fear to Me. I care about each of these, and I am God over them all. Seek My heart of love and then ask for your heart's desire freely without fear. I am the God of the practical and the impossible. |
