"KINGDOM POLICIES II" DAY THIRTY THREE MORNING: Morning Scripture: Ephesians 6:18-24 The Importance of Prayer We have learned about the saint’s enemy and the soldier’s equipment. Now we are to learn about our source of energy. The power to overcome the wicked one is not found in steel, but in the Spirit. We are to be praying “always” (KJV) or “on all occasions” (NIV). There is never a time when the believer should not be praying because there is never a time when we are not in warfare. The Word of God and prayer has always been God’s program for the church and its victory over the enemy. We are to be praying for “all the saints.” This is no time for “selective supplications” that are only concerned with the needs of our own lives and the lives of our families and friends. This is a time for all believers, everywhere, to be praying for a world-wide empowering of the Spirit that will allow the church to attack the gates of hell and break them down for the Kingdom of God! Just as we are to pray for all saints (v. 18), we are to be praying for all servants as well (v. 19). Paul seldom asked people for anything, but when he did, it was most often for their prayers. His preaching had caused him to be imprisoned and placed “in bonds” (KJV) or “in chains” (NIV). Wherever he was, free or imprisoned, Paul’s desire was to speak boldly and openly for Christ. He felt that was what he “ought” (KJV) or “should” (NIV) do. Morning Prayer Emphasis: • Pray for God’s people and pastors today. Encourage someone who needs it today. Kingdom Policy Number One Hundred Forty-Five: Prayer is the source of the believer’s power (ability) to serve and stand.
