DAY 6 – Power of prayer

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NKJV) “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,”

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty, including the power of prayer. In Ephesians 6 verse 19 we learn that prayer is a very important weapon in our warfare.

Ephesians 6:18 (NKJV) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints”

For the purpose of our devotional four power points have been identified, you are encouraged to study deeper and identify more power points in your own time:

• Healing: prayer avails much – James 5:16 (NKJV) “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

• Peace: guards your heart and mind – Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

• Confidence: if you ask anything in His will, He hears – 1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV) “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

• Calms the storms: guides us to safety – Psalm 107:28-30 (NKJV) “Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, And He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm So that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven”

Prayer: Father God, we thank You for giving us prayer as a powerful weapon against the spiritual forces that come against us. Help us to always remember why prayer is powerful and continue in prayer, steadfast and focused. Amen.
