Pray Without Ceasing

Be happy in your faith at all times. Never stop praying. Be thankful, whatever the circumstances may be. If you follow this advice you will be working out the will of God expressed to you in Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, PHILLIPS

Isaac Watts, the London pastor and hymn writer, wrote, “There is such a thing as correspondence [communication] with heaven and prayer is a great part of it while we dwell on earth. Who would not be ambitious to correspond with heaven? Who would not be willing to learn to pray? This is the language wherein God hath appointed the sons of Adam, who are but worms and dust, to address the King of Glory, their Maker.”1

1 Thessalonians 5:16-22

In our preparation for the battle, it’s important to realize God gave us a secret resource: prayer. Prayer is a direct link to our Lord, and we are to pray without ceasing. While this doesn’t mean we are constantly praying, it does mean that we consistently leave the lines of communication open, walking with God in uninterrupted fellowship.

Be alert and be ambitious to correspond with heaven.

Prayer is a sacred and appointed means to obtain all the blessings that we want [need], whether they relate to this life, or the life to come.
Isaac Watts

The War Is Won

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33

What if an army knew the outcome of a battle before it even started? What would such knowledge do to the confidence of the soldiers? Before the army of Israel attacked Jericho, God told Joshua, “See! I have given Jericho into your hand” (Joshua 6:2). The battle was over before it ever began; God had won the war for them.

Romans 8:35-37

Such is the case in the spiritual war that is currently playing out. Satan has been opposing the work of God since before creation. Genesis 3:15 hinted at the final defeat of Satan, and the resurrection of Jesus proved to be the harbinger of the final victory to come. But even before His death and resurrection, Jesus said, “I have overcome the world.” Though the Resurrection was the turning point, there are still battles and skirmishes taking place between Satan’s forces and God’s people. If we stand firm, clothed in the armor of God, we can win every spiritual battle.

Do not fear the enemy’s attacks. Be confident that in Jesus Christ you have overcome the world.

There is no holiness without a warfare.
J. C. Ryle

Your Spiritual Armor

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 6:10-11

When it was time for David to go out and face the giant Goliath, King Saul dressed David in his own armor. But David took the armor off because he was not used to wearing it and approached Goliath with only his staff and his sling and five stones (1 Samuel 17:38-40).

Recommended Reading:
2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Centuries later, armor was still being used by soldiers who were preparing for battle. In the first century A.D., Roman soldiers wore helmets, breastplates, belts, and sandals—and carried a shield and sword. Paul made a point of saying that Christians engaging in spiritual warfare do not wear the armor of soldiers—reminiscent of David (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). We fight with a different kind of armor protecting us. But Paul used the familiar image of a Roman soldier to illustrate the Christian’s spiritual armor: truth, righteousness, the Gospel, faith, salvation, and the Word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17).

Spend time meditating on this armor and how it can protect you when you are attacked by Satan.

Our enemies are on every side, and so must our armor be.
William Gurnall
