Arise Prayer
Warriors!
By Francis Frangipane
Jesus told a parable to show that men ought to pray at all times and not lose heart (Luke 18: 1-8).
In other words, if you are not praying, you will
lose heart. Most of the things I pray for I have to pray through to get the
answer. God desires to see something deeper come out of my prayer time than
just me getting an answer to prayer.
He wants me to become like Jesus. So He arranges
character-forming battles that not only will ultimately change the world around
me, but will change me first. This is what all true prayer warriors have
discovered.
When we picture a prayer warrior, we usually envision a great-aunt or grandmother. I think that every family has one. You never find them looking into a crystal ball to know the future for little Johnny; they are at the throne of God creating Johnny's future in prayer.

They are not wondering if Mary is going to make it;
they are praying her through to victory. They do not have time to lament
Harry's drinking problem; they are storming Heaven to see him delivered.
Prayer Warriors are the most frightening, powerful, demon-chasing, world-moving beings on earth. In truth, they are co-creators with God! They look at astrological predictions and rebuke them.

They never wonder about the future because they are
too busy creating it. Prayer warriors are positioned by God to stand in faith
for their families and churches and cities.
Prayer is stronger than kings and mightier than
armies. Prayer is the most powerful force on earth!
In this
spiritual war, there are no fence-sitters – you are either on the Lords’
victorious army or on the wicked “Powers” of Satan.
Ensure
you’re enlistment on the victorious army of the Lord. Settle that sin issue right now by saying
this prayer:
“Father God, I
confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from you.
I am truly
sorry. I now want to turn away from my
past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to you.
Please forgive
me, and help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that
your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is
alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus
to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day
forward.
Please send
your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my
life. Thank you, Lord, that according to Your Word, I am born again.
In Jesus' name
I pray, amen.”
“The Battle
Belongs to the Lord”
lyrics
In heavenly
armour we'll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord
We sing
glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord
Power and strength to the Lord
(repeat)
The power of
darkness comes in like a flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord
we sing
glory and honor
power in strength to the lord
power in strength to the lord
(repeat)
When your enemy presses in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord
the battle
belongs to the lord
battle belongs to the lord......
battle belongs to the lord......
