Have you had your JOY JUICE
today? And as you sipped on that JOY JUICE, were you perhaps praying?
R.A. Torrey
reminds us that “prayer is one of the
most highly esteemed privileges of life.”
He confesses that before he began to view prayer in this way, he found
himself thinking, “How much time must
I spend in prayer?” But now he
thinks: “How much time may
I spend in prayer without neglecting the other (responsibilities) of life?”
Talk about
a change of perspective! The same thing
happened to me recently when I saw the new Kendrick Brother’s film, “War Room”.
Though I’ve prayed for many years, after seeing this filmed I was so convicted
by the truth that was so powerfully portrayed in this movie. We are at war with a spiritual enemy and we
need a “battle plan”…a strategy which involves concentrated, committed prayer
time. Our battle is not against other
people. It’s against Satan! Scripture
tells us that in Ephesians 6:12: “For our struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
May we take
our struggles to God and let Him fight the battles for us. Psalm 145: 18 says:
“The
Lord is near to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth.” I urge you to call upon the Lord
today…no matter what your situation. He
will JOYfully come near to you and go to battle for you!
Go into your prayer closet,
your War Room, and open your heart to God.
