Through our prayers in Jesus’ name, God chooses to reveal His power in
situations and people. God's word instructs us to "pray without
ceasing" (KJV I Thessalonians 5:17) or in other words involve prayer in
every part of our life.
Prayer is the starting point, the
sustaining source of power and an important part of everything we do. When
we pray, we experience the peace and presence of God in our collective
activities and in our personal relationship with Him. We encourage
you to take time to pray daily. This will give you a better understanding
of and a closer relationship with your Creator.
In the military, all the units must work in coordination
with their command to accomplish a mission. In the same way
prayer connects us to God and makes it possible to hear and understand His purposes and
to fulfill
them. Our Enemy, desiring to neutralize us, attempts to keep us from
prayer at all costs. In I Peter 3:12 it is written:
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are
attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who
do evil.
In James 5:13-20 it is written:
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone
happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He
should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with
oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make
the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he
will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray
for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous
man is powerful and effective.
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would
not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its
crops. My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and
someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from
the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of
sins.
