PRAYER AS A WEAPON
Last Wednesday we looked at how to pray for our loved ones who are not saved. We said that those who are not saved, are blind and bound by Satan. They are his prisoners and operate under his power. They are not free to do what they want to do, just like prisoners in the physical realm, they do what their master tells them to do. They are in captivity under the power of the enemy.
We also said that we have received, as the disciples of Christ, the power to get them out of those prison cells where they are held in captivity. Jesus Christ said to his disciples: "Truly I tell
you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose
on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 18:18). We are not called to argue and dispute with them. But rather we are called to prophesy over them and call them out from those prisons. We are supposed to use the power given to us by the word of God.
Today, we are going to continue by talking about prayer as a weapon. The Prayers that the righteous make in faith are stronger than bombs. If God opened your eyes to see what happens in the spiritual realm when you pray in faith...you would be surprised.
Sometimes,Satan builds up walls that hinder us from going far. These walls can be poverty, sickness and all sorts of problems and generational curses.
It takes one who has understood who they are in Christ to break those walls and limitations and bring transformation in their family and neighborhood. Let's not look for ways to go to India and China to set people free when in our own villages and towns, we still have not finished the duty that God has given us. We have to start with our Jerusalem.
We have the Lion of the Tribe of Judah living in us. Remember, It is not about us- our power and strength. It is about Him who overcame. Jesus Christ. Use the power given to you by the Word God. Bind and close up those hangout spots in your neighborhood where young people sit while using drugs. Prophesy and use the power given to you by God.
However, all this is possible if you have a good relationship with God. You need to evaluate yourself. Is your life pleasing to the Lord? just because you are born again doesn't give you a license to sin. You need to have a good relationship with Jesus Christ to be clothed in power. It takes one who has an intimate relationship with God, who spends quality time with Him, to be used by Him for great things.
Jesus said: "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." (John 15:7)." Living in sin can stop us from hearing the voice of God and progressing in our spiritual life. Anytime the children of Israel sinned against God, they did not move forward; they made no progress. We need to avoid sin and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us, then we will be able to get to our destinies prepared for us by God.
