If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you James Doubt, chaos, and confusion are works of the enemy. He does not waver. He does not change. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You can bank on it. We now have this light shining our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars, containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves 2 Corinthians For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline 2Timothy For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing James The devil is relentless in his pursuit of you, so you must be relentless in rebuking him. Every day. Every hour. Every minute if need be. This house is under new management, and that means you are out! Maybe just a movie, but clear evidence that prayer is necessary. So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you James We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense 2 Corinthians You are a dangerous trap for me.
Be careful what you allow in your life. Pay attention to the doors you open. What seems like innocent fun could just be how the enemy slips in and creates a stronghold. Ouija boards, palm reading, and tarot cards are far more dangerous than you may realize. Pray is necessary if you're going to rid your life of these.
The enemy smells out the tender spots, the unhealed hurts, the unforgiveness, and uses these to tear us apart. But you can take charge with prayer. Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every disease and illness Matthew For many people, prayer is an integral part of their faith.
But experts say substituting prayer for medical treatment, especially with serious conditions such as anxiety and depression, can lead to years of struggling and more serious complications, including death. A number of studies have looked at the effects of religion or prayer on health — with some showing positive benefits. A study from JAMA Internal Medicine also showed that women who attended church services more than once per week were 33 percent less likely to die during the 16 years of follow-up than non-churchgoers.
Solo prayer is harder for researchers to measure than church attendance for a couple reasons. And two, different people may have different ways of praying.
Also, people tend to turn to prayer when things are going badly — such as when they are sick, lose a loved one, or are fired from a job. Overall, research on the benefits of praying for others, known as intercessory prayer, has been mixed. One review of past studies found that praying for someone else has small health benefits for the person being prayed for. Another showed no effect at all.
And one study suggests that prayer may make things worse. Praying for others might not help them that much, but several studies have found benefits for the person doing the prayer — whether they are praying for someone else or themselves. Prayer is one of the ways He chooses to make that happen.
He believes words change things. Ross is passionate about finding ways to communicate, in everyday language, what it means to follow Jesus. The Christian faith can sometimes feel like an uphill battle.
But those things ultimately have no power. Here is an in-depth look at spiritual warfare. We live in very polarizing times. However, Jesus calls for us to be unified in Him with love for each other. How can we reach this unity? God calls us to pray for our leaders — that they would submit to His leadership for the sake of His will being done and for the advancement of His kingdom.
