Magnificent Prayer #86
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there” and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Matthew 17:20
The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer; no spiritualistic séance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.
OSWALD CHAMBERS
Pray About It: No matter how weak you think you are, you have the power to paralyze Satan. The attacks that he has made on you can be reversed. If your past has been cursed, your future can be blessed. Why? Because the power to paralyze Satan is unleashed as we lean hard on God. He has given us authority over the enemy and the way we exercise that authority is through prayer. Satan thus works day and night to keep us away from prayer. He will even try to convince us that our Christian work will suffer if we pull away to pray.
Today, realize your power in Christ. Stand firm against the enemy. Allow him no ground.
If we would therefore behave like good soldiers of Jesus Christ, we must be always upon our guard, and never pretend to lay down our spiritual weapons of prayer and watching, till our warfare is accomplished by death; for if we do, our spiritual enemy will quickly prevail against us.
