BODY
Our Battlefield is prayer
Eph 6:18
praying in the spirit is directly tied to the armor of God:
how might we use the whole armor of God in prayer
recap:
girding up o sincere motives
breastplate o just actions
shoes o the Gospel of Peace
shield o Faith
(sword of the spirit which is the word of God)
helmet of Salvation
God’s word in the hands of H.S.
by praying in the spirit we are allowing the spirit to wield God’s word attacking & defending against the enemy!
Gospel of Peace
Faith
Salvation
God’s word in the hands of H.S.
Our spiritual prayer that points us to areas o need & provision
The Spirit uses God’s word to reveal how God might provide
girded up w/sincere motives in that we r looking not to selfish gain but equipping for God’s calling
we use faith as we pray for these needs & provision that God is good and faithful and provides as we seek 1st his kingdom & righteousness just like God promises.
our prayer keeps us alert as we persevere
The Spirit uses God’s word to show us what we must be watchful for
how?
our prayer is also for all the saints
The Spirit uses God’s word for our brothers & sisters in Christ
We pray for missionaries would have opportunities to present the Gospel of peace as Paul requested
we do battle on their behalf regardless of distance
what power does prayer warfare have?
2 Cor
divine power to destroy strongholds
the catapult as illust.
God’s word can be used as a volley against the enemy’s encampments
recognize the stronghold o addiction which is a prison for those bound by it
Prayer for folks held captive by their addiction
our battlefield is arguments
we might use the our just actions along w/God’s to destroy character attacks that may go w/the arguments
it also proves our claim that we r a new creation, because we act justly since we accepted Jesus as LORD & Savior.
we may use the gospel o peace to persuade them that they can be saved
perhaps, as they launch arrows of doubt we throw up our shield of faith
our battlefield is our own mind
“every thought captive” to bringing them under rulership of Christ
