Have you ever felt alone in the midst of trial or persecution? King David did! As He ran from his palace being pursued by enemies loyal to his son Absalom who formed a hostel takeover of his kingdom, David prayed a God-centered prayer that would declare that God is his shield and protector!….”O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. So many are saying, “ God will never rescue him!” But You, O Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts my head high. I cried out to the Lord, and He answered me from His holy mountain. Psalm 3:1-4. (NLT). In the midst of David hearing, “there is no hope in this painful situation”! He put his hope in the character of God. David knew when he cried out to the Lord his God, God would hear him and come to his rescue no matter the foes that surround him about. It is the same with us today. No matter the foe, cry out a God-centered prayer! Then stand back! And watch the salvation of the Lord in your life.
THE ARMOUR IS FOR THE BATTLE OF PRAYER. THE ARMOUR IS NOT TO FIGHT IN, BUT TO SHIELD US WHILE WE PRAY. PRAYER IS THE BATTLE.
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
The Mission for Prayer For The Harvest Ministries is to encourage and assist the body of Christ corporately and in their personal lives to come back to our first love, Jesus Christ, through the teaching of God’s Word and the literal doing of crying out to God in prayer. Psalm 127:1 "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain."
