“For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” - Deuteronomy 20:4
Do not look at your prayer life as a small ministry of no importance.
The enemy knows full well how mighty you are in pulling down his
strongholds, and he will try to intimidate, discourage, divide, or
defeat you. Don't accept his lies.
"Doubt. Deception. Discouragement. Division. It's time for the
church to stop accepting these enemy strikes as natural. Spiritual
warfare is a reality that the church must face. It won't go away on its
own - but it can be dealt with through prayer."
Love God with all your heart, and abide in Him -
Loving and abiding in God is so important in order to see answered
prayer. I am personally, by nature, a warrior but my relationship with
God is the best antidote against the enemy’s flaming missiles. We must
know God intimately, and abide in that intimacy daily.
Speak out the attributes of God, and praise him daily in prayer
- Worship is a powerful form of warfare. Praying and singing out loud
about the greatness of God during moments when you are emotionally down
makes a huge difference. Your heart begins to rise up, your feelings
change, and you see the sovereignty and greatness of God.
Here is a prayer you can pray for victory over the enemy’s schemes:
Lord, thank you for
your greatness. Thank you that when I am weak, you are strong. Lord, the
Devil is scheming and I know he desires to keep me from spending time
with you. Don’t let him win! Give me a measure of your strength so that I
might not give into discouragement, deception and doubt! Help me honor
you in all my ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Dryness,
whether spiritual or physical, is sapping to the spirit and wilting to
all living things. Let's join our hearts together today, ten of
thousands strong, praying that God will do two things: (1) that he bring
rain and refreshment on those lands that are parched and where times
are hard; and (2) that he will refresh all of his servants who are
discouraged and close to giving up in their difficulties, challenges,
temptations, discouragements, and failures. Let's pray for today to be a
day of refreshment and the beginning of revival in our world and among
God's people!
My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty, the one able to do more than all we ask
or imagine, today, we join our voices and our hearts in asking you for
refreshment for every land and every heart parched and wilted. Send your
rains on the drought laden parts of our world. And dear Father, please
bring revival throughout our world in our churches and the hearts of
those who serve you. We ask this together in the name of Jesus Christ,
our Lord and King. Amen.
