Go see "War Room"

One week from today, the movie "War Room" will open.

The ladies at my church have talked about the armor of God for a while now. We will be wrapping up our study of Ephesians next Wednesday evening. 

Toward the end of chapter 6, Paul says in verses 18 & 19:  "18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,"

Paul urged the readers of his letter to pray always. He had prayed for them.  He asked them to pray for other believers. He asked them to pray for him. He knew the necessity of prayer in the life of believers. He knew the fellowship that was created with God through bowing and bending at the feet of our Creator God and he knew the intercession of the Holy Spirit. He knew prayer to be a critical piece of armor for believers when battling the enemy. He said in verse 12 of the same chapter:  "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

What better defense and offense can we take when wrestling and doing battle than to stand firm in prayer guarded and protected by the One who has already conquered the evil one and his forces?

Paul knew those readers of old needed to hear this message. God knew that you and I would be living at this very moment in time and, like all who came before us, would need prayer in our lives. He knew we would need this letter from Paul to remind us that our power is not ours but comes from God; His power manifested in the lives of faithful followers walking worthy of His call. 

Do you have a powerful prayer you can share?  Or can you give testimony of prayer at work?

Share if you will!
