I have written on this subject before, but now I would like to go a little deeper. This weapon is not the atomic bomb, nuclear missiles, or any other weapon of mass destruction. This is a weapon that at first may seem to be insignificant because we most often have no clue as to how it works. It is the weapon of prayer. Just in the last twenty four hours, I have had conversations with two people in my circle that were having problems that seemed to be out of their control concerning  issues with their children. As I listened to them explain their situation, I could hear in their voices that they felt helpless. I took the opportunity to explain to them that what they were experiencing was a spiritual battle that required a spiritual weapon. Prayer is the most powerful tool that we posses to counter the things that rise up against us and our families. If you don’t believe that prayer is vitally important then you need to read the story of Daniel. Daniel prayed and got no answer for twenty one days because a powerful dark force known as a principality raged a battle against the messenger angel of  the Lord to keep Daniel from getting the information and resources he had prayed for. Our enemy knows the power of prayer and is encouraging us not to pray by raging war on the messengers that deliver our answered prayers which in turn causes delays that cause us to believe that prayer is a waste of time. The result of prayer is the release of God’s power in our lives. And as the prince of Persia found out when he was bound up by one of the chief prince angels of heaven, there is absolutely no match for the power of God when it is released on our behalf through prayer. Therefore we should open our mouths and pray.
