We started yesterday with our discussion on Spiritual Authority. If you missed the beginning you can find it
Now let’s move on to today’s discussion
Whether we realize it or not the church is in a very great battle in our time. I am not talking about the things that are going on in our culture or in the governments of the world. The battle goes much deeper than that into a spiritual place that we cannot see with our eyes or hear with our ears. The true battle of the church is not to change laws or fight against Presidents or Kings. The true battle of the church is not fought on a picket line or even in a soup kitchen although many of us are called by God to do these.
The battle of the church is fought in the spiritual unseen realm. We only ever truly engage in it when we pray. In the end as Paul said “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers which are unseen in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 6). Prayer is the chief weapon of the Christian and always shall be. For it is in prayer that we connect to the power of the Spirit of God and wring the power of God’s blessing into our lives to make our natural work resonate with supernatural power.
On a level from 1-10 1 being not at all and 10 being excellent how would you rate your prayer life at the moment? What would it take to move that number up two increments?

So true Pastor “J”…I do not believe the Body of Christ at large really has a true revelation of the power of prayer as our chief weapon otherwise prayer would more readily be our first line of defense, we would not utter sentiments such as “all we can do is pray” and our prayer meetings would not be so sparse in comparison to other meetings or activities the church may have….If we are honest, I believe there is room in most of our lives for improvement when it comes to prayer.
Amen.
