In 1Thessalonians 5:17 We are instructed to "pray without ceasing."
Why?
because prayer, is communication, it is speech, it is words,
which God used to create the universe.
When we pray we are creating, we are being like our creator in whose image we have been made.
When we pray we are communicating with God and giving him permission to intervene on our behalf.
In the beginning God gave mankind domino and authority in the earth.
In the fall, Adam and Eve gave that which was given to mankind by God, away to Satan.
God does not take back anything that he gives.
As it is written in Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable."
The earth was God's gift to mankind.
It is for mankind to take back what we allowed to be taken from us.
When a righteous man prays believing, he is fighting the good fight of faith,
giving God permission to intervene and fight the battle.
Praise the Lord that through faith we can go into this battle knowing we already have victory.
There is much territory to regain; families, communities, opportunities, joy, peace, finances, all that the enemy has taken from us.
James 5:16 says "Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much".
Let us not discount the power of prayer, let us not neglect .prayer
There is much to be done.
Let us pray without ceasing.
