Warfare in the Spirit Realm
When the kingdom of God suffers violence “injury” – violence take by force – “from the days of John the Baptist; until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it”. Spiritual violence is the aggression in the spirit – it means to wrestle / resist to do warfare in the realm of the Spirit. You have to be born again to do this. It means to press forward with earnest request in prayer. In other words prayer application is urged when trouble comes.
Jesus agonizes in prayer
In the bible, the book of Luke 22:44 – “Jesus being in agony, prayed more earnestly or fervently. his sweat was as great drops of blood”. The word agony mean intense and prolonged pain – extreme distress in your communication with God. The word Fervent means zeal with passion. James 5:16 – “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective”.
Satan Designs Battles
Satan designs battles to separate you from prayer and the Word of God. When he alienates you from prayer and the Word of God, Satan has succeeded to destroy your only effective defense. Satan has succeeded to remove prayer and the Word of God from Adam and Eve. This Christmas keep your focus on Jesus. Don’t lose your vision. Have a Blessed Christmas.
