Fight for our Nation
“God has called intercessors not to wonder about the future, but to create it through the knowledge of His Living Word and prayer! Our Father gives us access to the future right now. You ask, ‘How do we know what to pray?’ The Lord told us plainly, ‘After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. They kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven’ (Matthew 6:9-10).
We can look at the conditions of the world and faint or look at the possibilities of God and take faith. To bring revival is to pray for the reality of God’s Kingdom to be made manifest on earth. Christ calls us to pray for God’s Kingdom to manifest itself in our world today.
When you hear from God and then pray His Word, you are having an impact on the as-yet-unformed essence of life with the Spirit of God Himself! This is why God calls us to not only know His Word but also to pray it. We must go from intellectualizing God’s Word to being impregnated by it. For everything good and holy that we see manifested in people, in churches and in life is first conceived and then birthed in the womb of prayer.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might. Ephesians 1:18-19
The key, of course, is to know Christ’s Word. We do not have authority; Christ has authority. What we have is revelation and submission. But as we submit to the Word and persevere in prayer, the future is changed and conformed to God’s will.
Prayer warriors are the most frightening, powerful, demon-chasing, world-moving beings on earth. In truth, they are co-creators with God! They never wonder about the future because they are too busy creating it. Prayer warriors are positioned by God to stand in faith for their families and churches and cities and their nation. Prayer is stronger than kings and mightier than armies. Prayer is the most powerful force on earth.”
