In James 5:16 we are told that the “…prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
Today more than ever, it is important that we pray and seek the mind of the Lord: “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” Matthew 6:10. Major decisions we are confronted with require us to know Our Creator’s individual will for our lives and as willing participants in the decision to do something about our situations, we can meditate in Prayer to The Most High Creator in order to bring about positive change.
As we pray, we stand watch over our families, cities, and nations. Just as men stood on city walls in the Bible to watch for approaching danger, Creator Father calls us to be modern-day watchmen and warn those who are in danger. (2 Kings 9:17-18) Also, we are called to be our brothers keeper.
We are to watch not only for the enemy’s activity but also for the manifestation of Our Creator’s plans. If we watch for the enemy and pray to Our Creator about his activity, we can avert the devil’s plans to steal, kill and destroy what Our Father has for us. Messiah said in Matthew 24:43, “But know this, if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.”
With The Creator’s Holy Spirit’s leading, we can discover His will and expose the plans of the enemy through strategic prayer.
The Bible speaks of “watches,” which are specific times of the day or night. There are basically eight watches covering 24 hours. The Most High may lead you to Prayer for yourself, your famiy and friends, to intercede for strangers or even a situation. No matter how trying or hurtful the issue may be, every prayer watch has a purpose, as a solution.
With The Creator’s Holy Spirit’s leading, we can discover His will and expose the plans of the enemy through Strategic Prayer.
