Keep On Praying On
I want to, once again, affirm those who meet to pray each week at
CCC’s prayer group. I
am glad to hear that it will be continued once the Bible study
starts up again and I so look forward to participating in it. Thanks
prayer warriors!! It is
so vitally important.
A.W. Tozer, the great Christian writer and holiness preacher, stated
these words, “The church that is not jealously protected by mighty
intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the
abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected
corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church
that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.”
It is pretty clear that we must be vigilant in prayer.
In Ephesians 6:17 – 18a we read, “And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God:
Praying always
with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…” (KJV) In this
passage, the Apostle Paul lists it among the vital armor that we as
believers need to adorn ourselves with if we are to be
effective agents of the Lord against the enemy of our souls, the
Church and our community that needs an effective spiritual compass.
Without prayer, we are fighting the good fight in our own
power. Without
the power of God behind our efforts, we are ineffective at best and
in the God’s way and even against Him at worst.
James, the half-brother of Jesus and leader of the early Church in
Jerusalem, said it like this in the Epistle bearing his name, “pray
[also] for one another, that you may be healed
and
restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest
(heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous
power available [dynamic in its working]” (James 5:16b Amplified).
Tremendous power is available for those who pray, trusting in
God’s power rather than their own.
When the Church refuses to pray, it is the same as telling
the Lord we do not need Him; I think we all know we need God
desperately, especially in this hour.
