Why does the speaker say prayer can feel like a battle?
There will be days when you find that you can easily capture the spirit of prayer. You can pray effortlessly. You can pray and feel as though an hour. It's just ten minutes. However, you will also encounter days where prayer will be nothing other than a fight. And it's when you encounter those moments that That you should push through. Praying. Is fighting. You have to fight to pray. And on the days where you struggle. I want to encourage you to Be resilient. And remember that the size of your prayer must match the size of your opposition. And your opposition.
What does Ephesians 6:12 teach about our spiritual opposition?
Is the devil. Your opposition can be found in Ephesians 6, verse 12, where the Bible reads, For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. But against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. All of us should know that we're fighting the kingdom of darkness. The enemy will try to infiltrate our home. He will try to cause division in the family and in the church if we become prayerless Christians. I encourage you to pray because some of you need strength to defeat strongholds. Some of you need grace to overcome insecurities. Some of you need the hand of God to move within your family and restore damaged relationships.
Jesus says in the book of Matthew seven, verse seven. Ask. and it will be given to you. Seek. And you were fine. No.
How does Jesus’ ‘Ask, Seek, Knock’ instruction relate to persistent prayer?
And the door will be open to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks will find. And to him who knocks the door. will be open. This is Jesus effectively telling us to pray until something happens. Keep seeking the Lord until you find your answer. Carry on knocking. Until the door is open. Now a child of God recognizes that you cannot fight a battle and get away with a weak prayer life. But I would like to inform you, perhaps encourage you, to look at a prayer as a means to victory. You see, we are built and equipped for spiritual warfare, so we shouldn't be afraid of a fight. We shouldn't be afraid of fighting through prayer. A lot of people shy away from being intercessors. They shy away from being prayer warriors.
Why are spiritual weapons described as ‘mighty in God’ and not carnal?
They would rather pray nice. There are Christians out there who do want to pray, but they are intimidated at the prospect or thought of warfare. But I would like to remind you that the Bible says, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. The weapons of an intercessor, the strength of an intercessor is derived from God alone. That's why the verse says, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God. Meaning they are divinely powerful. They are supernatural in their effectiveness. You cannot fight the devil with your natural fists, but you can fight him through prayer. You can fight him by calling out to the Lord. You can fight him by going to Jesus in prayer.
So I encourage you today to keep pushing in prayer. Don't be intimidated by the thought of spiritual warfare. Don't be afraid, but rather Be prayerful.

Be resilient and relentless, knowing that prayer is a fight. Exodus 17 presents us with a powerful lesson on prayer. In verse 9, we are told. Moses said to Joshua, Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands. So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered. And Moses, Aaron, and her went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands. The Israelites were winning. But whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it.
