And he spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to
pray, and not to faint.” – Luk
18:1
From the prayer of Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus, it’s clear His prayer
life didn’t revolve around miracles. He
didn’t spend all-nights praying for healings, raising the dead and such; His
prayer times were devoted to communing with the Father.
In our longest record of any of His prayers (John17), we see such
expression of intimacy and communion between the Father and the Son. There was
no binding of Satan there, and no praying for miracles.
Beloved, there’s nothing wrong with praying for a particular need or
binding demonic spirits; but something is critically wrong if those are the
defining characteristics of our prayer life.
Check the content of your prayers, if God answers that prayer (or says
you don’t need to pray about that anymore) will you find yourself looking for
what else to say? (Maybe, you’ll now pick up another ‘problem’ to pray about).
Beloved, God is not
honoured when we spend a whole night binding demons and witches. Satan didn’t
give his life for you, yet we spend more hours on him than with God. We can
fast for days and spend hours to battle already defeated
demons, yet will struggle for words if we’re asked to stay with God and “just
talk”.
You’re bought with a
price, you’re God’s baby, when you talk to Him, let the conversation revolve
around HIM and what He did for you on the Cross, and not about problems and
demons.
AMEN.
More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
