The Battle of Prayer 2nd part

Pastor Eduardo preached: Battle of prayer (2).

In the spiritual struggle he who does not have a spiritual structure, a full communion in fear of God did not resist and falls. Nothing in life comes that easy. Blessings also comes with many struggles. Many leave the path either because they rather want the world and its pleasures and do not want to assume commitment to God; that is because there are struggles and they can't stand them, they need spiritual structure. Matthew 16:18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

I see the movement of the Spirit of the Lord in our lives, an anointing of prayer moves over those who are firm in the things of God. Luke 22:44 And being in agony, he prayed more intensely; and it was his sweat like great drops of blood that fell to the ground. That is a prayer battle!

Create your war room. The basic problem is what is a battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan, and that man himself is the battlefield. The battle is visible not only in the wars, revolutions and waves of crime that oppress and fill our newspapers, but also in the internal tensions and fears of individual lives, in neurotic problems and mental illnesses. that afflict us today, in family struggles and church struggles. It is even visible in nature, where all life competes in a ruthless and deadly struggle for survival.

The enemy does not want believers to have a powerful prayer life. For what reason? Because our victory, effectiveness and usefulness in the Christian life are directly related to the time we spend with God. That is why it is so important that we know what the Bible says about prayer.

For the rest, my brothers, strengthen yourselves in the Lord and in his mighty strength. Put on all the armor of God, (Ephesians 6: 10-11)

Now we must give closer attention to the real behavior of this battle. If this conflict is the basic problem of human life, how much is delegated to us in carrying out or fighting this battle? How do you do it?

James says: "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4: 7b). Think about it! This intelligent, cunning strategist who has kept the world for centuries in defeat, whom no man can overcome in cunning, will flee from you when you learn, like Paul, not to ignore his strategies.

The only one in all history who has ever defeated the devil consistently and uninterruptedly, not only in his life but also in his death, is the Lord Jesus Christ.
