Prayer
Alms Giving is an Acknowledgement of God
Acts 10:2. It is so easy for us to get caught up in our day-to-day activities and forget God. This is not how God desires for us to live. He desires us to acknowledge Him in all things. This can be done through prayer and meditation, but it is also done through our alms giving. By sacrificing something we hold valuable such as our money or our time, we are acknowledging that God is first in our lives. Being holy means being set aside for God.
Prayer Equips Us for Spiritual Warfare
Ephesians 6:18. Prayer gives us protection and strength to endure in spiritual warfare. Prayer enables us to focus on God and equip us for spiritual warfare. Prayer reveals to us God's truth and righteousness that we need to maintain the mind of Christ. Prayer strengthens our faith enabling us to withstand anything that our enemies may throw at us. Prayer maintains our salvation and our knowledge of God's love.
Prayer Is The Way To Win In Spiritual Warfare
Psalms 1:2. Through prayer we shall prosper in spiritual warfare. The prayer that God desires from us comes from the heart. When we delight in prayer and seek God's truth day and night, we will prosper (Psalms 1:2-3, "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper").
Seeking God Through Prayer Is Spiritual Warfare
2 Chronicles 7:14. Once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, prayer is the primary way for us to maintain the mind of Christ. Prayer is a demonstration of our faith in God and is the main way for us to conduct spiritual warfare. In order to conduct spiritual warfare we place our focus on God and not His enemies.
Intercession is a Spiritual Warfare Weapon to Bring God Into the Fight
Jeremiah 27:18. If you totally surrender to God's will, your intercessory prayers will bring God into the fight. This is what spiritual warfare and intersession are all about. If we are of God and what we are asking for is Godly, God will answer our prayers. Spiritual warfare is all about us lining up with God.
Intercession in Spiritual Warfare Brings Blessings
Romans 8:26. The Holy Spirit shows us how to make intersession for others. Even when we do know what to pray for, the Holy Spirit will guide us and lead us in spiritual warfare. Intercession is spiritual warfare because through it we secure blessings for others. The Holy Spirit helps us to overcome our own weaknesses and obtain the blessings of God.
Intercession Causes God's Promises to Be Realized in Spiritual Warfare
Isaiah 62:7. Intercession is where we pray to God for the sake of another person or for a corporate cause. Many of the best prayers and intercessory prayers are when we remind God of His promises. God delights in us reminding Him of His promises. It shows that we have faith in Him and His promises. When we pray in this manner for another or for a corporate cause, our intercessory prayer is spiritual warfare. In intercessory prayer we are conquerors by bringing God closer to ourselves, and to others.
Have The Desires Of Your Heart - A Blessing Of Believing
Mark 11:24. When we trust in Jesus, we can have the desires of our heart. All we have to do is pray for what we desire, believe that we will receive in accordance with God's promises, and we shall have the desires of our heart (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").This is a blessing of believing. It is important to understand that your heart is changed when you have accepted Jesus into your heart.
If We Believe In God's Plan, We Will Have Abundance
1 John 3:22. God has a plan for all of us to have abundance. The problem is that we do not want to put faith in His plan. God tells us to just believe in the name of Jesus Christ and whatever we ask, we will receive (1 John 3:22, "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight").
1 JOHN 3 BIBLE SCRIPTURE: 1 John 3:22, "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."
If The Word Abide In You and You Ask Of God, You Will Have Abundance
John 15:7. If we abide in God's Truth, His word (truth) abides in us. When we are in this abiding relationship with God we can ask what we will and it will be done to us (John 15:7, "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."). We must seek His truth to find out how He will provide for our needs. For example if we need a car, we do not need to help God by lying about our credit or income to get a car. We do not need to get deeply in debt to help God out.
