This weekend I had the wonderful privilege to be able to preach here at Pathways Church.  Not to be redundant, but the final point on prayer is worth taking some time to think about today so that it doesn’t just become words but translates into each of our lives.  It comes from 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.”

So often we find verses in scripture that we can quote, but until they change they way we live they are not serving their intended purpose.

If we know our battles are going to be coming, and we know they are going to be happening in the spiritual realms, why is it that we don’t take time to put our preparation in where it counts the most… Prayer and devotions?

If prayer seems boring to you it’s probably because you are looking at it wrong!  It is not just a discipline that God requires to see how much you can “endure” for his sake.  No, it’s intense training to prepare you for battle!

And we better be prepared because it’s time to engage in that battle!
