Effect of Prayer

Why are some of us still struggling with problems in life? And how long will we succumb to the devices of satan in our lives? Even if we want to come out of it then how’s it possible?
These may be some of the frequent questions that torment our minds. The main work of satan is to totally discourage, demotivate and completely defeat us. God requires our faith to be shown in action and the one way of doing it is through our prayer.

We read in Mark 9:17 that when a man brought his son, who was possessed by the spirit which troubled him and made him dumb, and then the man says the he took his son to the disciples but even they could not cast that evil spirit out. Then we read that Jesus commanded the spirit to leave the boy and it left. Then the disciples asked Jesus why couldn’t they drive it out? Then Jesus said, “This kind can come out only by prayer.” (Mark 9:29) What a powerful words. Are you experiencing struggles after struggles or consistent onset of problems or sudden outbreak of diseases in your family? only fervent prayer can set your free from all attacks of the enemy.

It is Jesus who gives us the authority over evil spirits (Mark 6:7) and we can receive this authority only through prayer. Therefore Paul instructs us to watch and pray fervently, consistently and without ceasing at all times. When you look at the life of Jesus Christ when he was on the earth He always withdrew Himself from the crowd to have communion with the Father. Therefore Jesus said, “Abide (remain) in me and I’ll abide (remain) in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” (John 15:4) Therefore we have to always abide in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ otherwise we cannot exercise His authority in our lives and again this is possible only through our prayers.

Therefore prayer is one of the strongest armor of God that we need to always put on to defeat satan and his works and pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests (Ephesians 6:18a) and be joyful always; pray continuously; give thanks in all circumstances, for his is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thes. 5:16-18)

Have A Blessed Day!
