Jesus
told a parable to show that men ought to pray at all times and not lose
heart (Luke 18: 1-8). In other words, if you are not praying, you will
lose heart. Most of the things I pray for I have to pray through to get
the answer. God desires to see something deeper come out of my prayer
time than just me getting an answer to prayer. He wants me to become
like Jesus. So He arranges character-forming battles that not only will
ultimately change the world around me, but will change me first. This is
what all true prayer warriors have discovered.
When we picture
a prayer warrior, we usually envision a great-aunt or grandmother. I
think that every family has one. You never find them looking into a
crystal ball to know the future for little Johnny; they are at the
throne of God creating Johnny's future in prayer. They are not wondering
if Mary is going to make it; they are praying her through to victory.
They do not have time to lament Harry's drinking problem; they are
storming Heaven to see him delivered.Prayer Warriors are the most frightening, powerful, demon-chasing, world-moving beings on earth. In truth, they are co-creators with God! They look at astrological predictions and rebuke them. 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. Prayer is stronger than kings and mightier than armies. Prayer is the most powerful force on earth!
