A) INTRODUCTION

 

 

“Satan cannot endure to have his powerful rival appealed to, for he fears and trembles before His strength and majesty.  At the sound of fervent prayer, Satan’s whole host trembles.”  1T:346.

 

 

B) TO THE BIBLE

 

 

The Bible Teaches Us To Pray Always (Eph. 6:18); Why?

 

Because We Are Weak, Matthew 26:41:  “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:  the spirit indeed iswilling, but the flesh is weak.”

 

Because We May Need To Cast Out Demons, Mark 9:29:  “And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.”

 

Note:  Don’t Ignore The “fasting” Mentioned.

 

Because It Will Increase Your Faith, Mark 11:24:  “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

 

Note:  Remember, Prayer Doesn’t Change God, Prayer Changes Us.

 

Because, It Will Lead Us Into A Salvational Relationship With Our Lord, Luke 21:36:  “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

 

Because Of Unjustified Government Actions, Acts 12:5:  “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.”

 

Because Others Might Be Saved, Romans 10:1:  “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.”

 

Because, We Are Fighting Against The Powers Of Darkness, Ephesians 6:12:  “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

 

Because It Opens Your Heart To Both Hear And Obey God, Philippians 4:6:  “Be careful for nothing;  but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

 

Because Others Need To Know The Will Of God, Colossians 1:9:  “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.”

 

Because We Need To Pray For Others Needs, First Timothy 2:1 (2Th. 1:11):  “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.”

 

Because We Need Our Sins Cleansed, First John 1:9:  “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

 

Because We Want Jesus To Come, Revelation 2:20:  “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
