PRAYER AND PRAYING BOOKS

Prayer is essential for a strong Christian life. It touches God's heart. It opens the doors to the very throne room of the Most High and reaches His ears.

Prayer changes things. It strengthens churches. It ushers in healing and deliverance. It brings revival. These are some of the reasons that the Devil hates it so much. He and his demons fear it.

If he can keep us too busy and too distracted to pray, he's won a major battle. We are no threat to the gates of Hell without it.

Don't let the Enemy win. Learn to pray and be a prayer warrior. Those are the kind of Christians God truly needs.
