Urgent! Pray for one another

Ephesians 1:15 Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, 16 I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, 17 asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. 18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. 19 I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. 21 Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. 22 God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. 23 And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.

I have been standing along side a couple this morning who are going through a critical spiritual battle. We are commanded to pray for one another. In Ephesians 6 after telling us to put on the whole armor of God, Paul tells us in verse 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

Today, I call on you, my brothers and sisters to put on the armor of God and pray for this couple. Pray for believers all over this land who are fighting for their lives. Pray the prayer from Paul in Ephesians above. Pray for God to confound the enemy.

Pray. God give the victory and receive all the praise! Hallelujah!

Love in Christ,
