Prayer:
Though the vast majority of world’s peoples, secular and
religious, use two words quite loosely, love and pray, we unfortunately do little in disciplining ourselves
to their practice. As
Christians we are admonished to love “God
with all our heart, soul, body
and mind and your neighbor as yourselves”
(MATTHEW 22: 37-39) and we are to be “anxious
for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” (PHILIPPIANS
4: 6) Most
of us do not look past the material, physical world into the
spiritual realm will the real balance of power lies.
It is not what we see that effect our lives, or for that
matter world events. It is the unseen “powers
and principalities of the air”
(EPHESIANS 6:12) that
have dominion over the visible circumstances, events and things that
make up our earthly lives.
We say all of this to point out that prayer
is of the utmost importance in combating a cauldron of demonic and
occult activity encountered in prison
ministry. Your prayers are needed to enforce Christ’s victory
over Satan. Your
effective and fervent communication with the triune God of this
universe is what will bring victory over the darkness encountered
behind prison walls.
We covet your petitions and
intercessions in the following areas…
-
Spiritual and physical
protection
-
Victory in the warfare for
the souls of men and women Prison
-
Godly wisdom and scriptural knowledge
-
spiritual
discernment to combat heresy,
cults and deception
-
Financial and
logistical support
