Title: We Need Prayer/Acts 12:1-19
Contents
Introduction
Prayer is the spiritual breath of a Christian. God's people living on this sinful earth must not stop praying until the kingdom of heaven is fully established. A Christian who lives without prayer is a liar. This is because the Bible testifies that even the sinless Jesus lived a life of mourning on this earth (Hebrews 5:7). Jesus' life began with prayer and ended with prayer. And even now, at the right hand of the throne of God, Jesus is praying for us until the day when we realize the identity of Satan and tread on it. Now is the time to pray. It is a time for prayer.
Earth 1: Prayer must be ignored.
2 Land: When you ask without doubt, you will receive an answer.
Prayers that we ask without doubt in faith will surely come with answers. There's nothing you can't get. The reason we don't get answers even if we pray is because we are not throwing away the habitual frame of prayer. The Bible teaches that nothing is impossible for those who believe (Mark 9:23). We can do all things through Him who gives us strength (Philippians 4:13). For Jesus who ascended the mountain of transfiguration, the disciples at the bottom of the mountain prayed with all their might for the child possessed by the dumb spirit, but their prayer itself was a dead prayer, so it was rather mocked. Because they themselves did not believe and prayed, wouldn't it be impossible for history to appear? Because the word of God is alive and active, it is sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing and dividing our souls and marrow (Hebrews 4:12). You must believe in this word and pray with all your might to receive an answer. The believer has neither fear nor hesitation. If there is, there is only boldness. We must not forget that only such people's prayers are living prayers and have the power to receive answers (Matthew 21:22).
3 Earth: People who pray can experience the results of prayer with their own eyes.
King Hezekiah, who was attacked by Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went up to the temple, tore his clothes, spread the threatening letter on the floor of the temple, and pleaded with God to spare him (2 Kings 19:1-19). The gates are locked, the people are trembling, and 200,000 enemy soldiers are encamped. When we think rationally and rationally, is it not an easy situation to bow down and pray? But look at the power and power of the Word and the work of God. Did not God, who answered Hezekiah's prayer, invoice 185,000 Assyrians overnight, and liberate the captured city? This is God's work. God alone is our eternal King, our eternal refuge, our stronghold and our shield, and mighty in battle. If God wants to do this, there is nothing to worry about. The conclusion of King Hezekiah's prayer is 2 Kings 19:35. This is the fruit of prayer. It is an answer to prayer and it is power. Prayer alone is everything (Mark 9:28-29). Even in the end, only the people who pray can survive.
conclusion
Dear brothers and sisters, I hope you see the last battle in heaven. Our military commander is Archangel Michael. As he fights the red dragon and expels the dragon from the air, the powers of the red dragon descend to the ground and take over the hearts of the people. The Bible clearly says that the devil became very angry because his time was short (Revelation 12:7-10). That is why the evil is so serious that it cannot be expressed in words. Because it's the last. That is why we must pray. This is why we need our prayers, the prayers of the living. Only our prayers can be a shield for the wicked. You can pave the way to victory by opening the gates of heaven and receiving powers. I ask you to become a person of prayer and watchfulness who can truly live the work of the Spirit in the last days through the prayer of faith.
