Prayer Warriors Needed - Rise Up, Prayer Warrior -

Calling all prayer warriors! If there were ever a time for Prayer Warriors, now is the time. Let’s rise up together! Prayer Warriors are needed!

We’ve been called to battle. Not a battle of this world, but of the spiritual realm. As believers, we need prayer warriors on our knees in prayer and to join in the battle for God’s Kingdom.

Become a Prayer Warrior

Friend, a prayer warrior is any believer in Jesus Christ willing to step up and pray. Praying is a “yes” to join in the spiritual battle and commit to praying.

You can be a prayer warrior if you’ve been a Christian for 30 minutes or 30 years. It’s part of our privilege and position as children of God.

Please do not believe you have to say certain words or pray for 8 hours a day, or that you’re just “not that type of person”. That’s not how it works. When we believe those things, we are giving up one of our greatest gifts.

If there’s anything you take away from today, it’s to just come and pray to God, the Creator, Sustainer, and Exalted One above all things.

The Privilege of Participating with God

First things first. We have the privilege to participate with God because of Jesus. He qualifies you the moment you trust Him in faith as the Lord and Savior of your life.

This is one of our greatest privileges and weapons on this earth!

We grow the more we come to God in prayer, through praying His Word, and through reading His Word.

Prayers Are Powerful

We’re told in James 5:16 The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Again, God has given Jesus Christ to us as our righteousness. In ourselves, we are not righteous but God has made us perfectly righteous when he put us in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:21)

Let this sink in!!

God looks at Christ and sees Him perfectly righteous, so He looks at us and sees perfectly righteous because we are in Him.

(This is where we say THANK YOU, JESUS!!!!)

We’ve been given the privilege to communicate with the One that has authority over all things! We can now come boldly to His throne of grace. (Hebrews 4:16)

What do prayer warriors do?

So what exactly do prayer warriors do? Prayer warriors come to God with boldness and confidence, because of Jesus Christ our Savior. We humble ourselves and pray in Jesus’ Name, relying on the Holy Spirit. We ask that God’s perfect will be done on earth and trust that His will is greater and more perfect than anything our eyes can see or imagine.

Matthew 6:5-15 teaches us how to pray. Jesus tells us to come to the Father in secret. He says, “Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”

Prayer Warriors Come To God with Boldness & Confidence

Hebrews 4:16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.

It’s always because of Jesus. Because of Him, we are able to boldly approach the throne of God.

Ask in Jesus’ Name

I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name. You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy. John 16:23-24

This isn’t willy-nilly, ask for whatever you want and Jesus the Genie will grant it. Jesus’ name is the one that makes all this possible because it is His authority we are requesting!

The more time we spend with God, and sincerely follow and seek His will, the more our requests will be aligned with His. This is one reason why reading the bible and having daily time with God is so important.

When we spend time in His word, we better know God, His truth, and His promises. If you’re not in the habit of daily bible reading, here’s a great resource for a bible reading plan. It also has a link for Pray the Word – an invaluable free resource that prays a scripture verse each day that aligns with the bible reading plan. I highly recommend both!

Humble Yourselves Before God

And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong – you want only what will give you pleasure. ..So humble yourselves before God. James 4:3,7

Bow low before the throne of Grace in recognition of our Sovereign and powerful God.

Let’s pray that we are a generation that humbles ourselves before God Almighty. May our prayers be mighty and begin with our submission to God!

Rely on the Holy Spirit

God thinks of everything. And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. Romans 8:26-27

Sometimes, I just can’t get over how good God is to us.

He’s given us His Spirit to help us.

Prayer Warriors Needed: The World Needs Our Prayers

Pray For Your Family

Because of you, your family can be taken directly to the doors of Heaven!

Your family needs you to cover each member in prayer. Pray that they come to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ if they do not know Him already.

Pray that our children grow to be strong in the Lord! Ask God to use your family as a beacon of light in this world. One of my prayers for my family is Psalm 128 – that we are a family that fears the Lord!
