Under the name Francis Lee, I write interracial Christian romantic suspense. My stories are about finding enduring love when hope and redemption seem unattainable as danger lurks around every corner. My characters learn that where there is darkness, "joy will always come in the morning".

Yet To be #130

they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

Prayer Warrior Waits

Bring your requests to the throne of grace leave it at his feet.

Prayer is our strength.

We fight on our knees for others, and for self.

Time passes and yet there is nothing to be heard, nothing to see.  

The prayer goes silent.

The light of hope fades into a flicker.

Wait. Wait. And wait some more.

If we wait our strength will be renewed.

Night will turn into day.

The sun will break the darkness.

Because the answer is on the way.

Let none that wait on thee be ashamed. Psalm25:3

Thou shalt know that I am the Lord for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.  Isaiah 49:23

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Isaiah 40:31

Doubt brings fear and fear’s reward is torment

Prayer Warrior: Stand Firm

Doubt brings fear and fear’s reward is torment.

Ask and we shall receive. 

Seek and we should not doubt.

Knock and we must watch.

When we trust, answers come to pass.

And when we doubt, blessings are never born.   

Why fear when the power in our prayers is to trust.

God said it so shall it be.

His truth is right.

His word is real.

“I the Lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back neither will I spare neither will I repent.” Ezekiel 24: 14

“God is not a man that he should lie.” Numbers 23:19

“So that by two unchangeable (immutable) things in which it is impossible for God to lie.” Hebrews 6:18

Pray without ceasing

Prayer Warriors: Hold the Line

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Don’t stop.

Never give up, hold the line.

Pray without ceasing and standfast in the faith.

Though situations seem dyer where there are no alterations, no changes.

It matters not.  A good warrior must keep moving forward, keep pressing onward.

Have no fear, soon the clouds will part.

The path will become clear, the footing will grow smooth and solid.

Then the light of hope will break forth to blaze in the face of many adversities.

Only, hold the line. 

“Hold the line” is a term that comes from military tactics in which a line of troops was supposed to prevent an enemy breakthrough. – dictionary meaning

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

Prayer Warrior’s Prep

  1. Be passionate. Be all in.  James 5 verse 16 “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
  2. Not doubting but believing. James 1:6 -8 “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering (doubting). For he that wavers (doubts) is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A doubleminded man is unstable in all his ways.
  3. Eyes on our leader. Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.”
  4. Go aside alone Matthew 6:6 “When you pray enter into your closet and when you shut the door pray to your Father which is in secret.”

  7. Knowing He hears. 1 John 5:15 “If we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
  8. The Battle is His 1 Samuel 17:47 “And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s.”
  9. Know the battle cry.  1 Samuel 17:45 “I come in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of armies of Israel, whom you have defied…prepare to die.”

The battle is the Lord’s

Prayer Warrior: All In

All in or nothing.
Half-hearted speeches laced with jaundice eyes are nothing more than lies.
Words spoke with a forked tongue end the battle before the fighting begins.
There is no honor in the bitterness of deception.
A pledge taken is more than talk; the bond accepted takes courage to fulfill.
The die is cast when a request is promised without hope to commit.
There is no luck, no chance in the face of faith.
Neither can evil fall at a wishful whim.
He is in control.
The rules of war are His.
His touch revives and strengthens.
His eyes guide and sustain.
This battle of life is won.
The battle is the Lord’s.

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart

Prayer Warriors Wanted: Sincerity of Heart

It is not just the words we use to speak to God in prayer that are important but, it is imperative to have the right attitude; to be in the right spirit.

A Warrior has to be ready to call upon the Lord at anytime. A Warrior has to be able to approach God in sincerity, calling him out of a pure heart, genuine in all ways, without deceit; believing beyond a shadow of a doubt that He is the rewarder of them who diligently seek Him.

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Psalm 24 verses 4 and 5

We battle not against flesh and blood but against …wickedness in high places.

Be a Warrior

Be a prayer warrior

Someone who prays to the Lord and fights battles against the enemy, on their knees. Warriors come between the trouble and God to make intercession on their behalf and for others. Warriors also give thanks to God and they praise Him. As time goes by and the Holy Spirit teaches the Warrior how to pray and what to pray for, a deep, solid relationship grows between the Father God and His child, the Prayer Warrior prince or princess.

One important and major aspect the Warrior must take heed of is to be completely aware of coming into the Holy presence of the true and living God in the name of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is the only mediator between God and us but as a Warrior, we are His soldier, his person at arms, his lieutenant, we work for Him and depend on Him for guidance.

We battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities. against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6 verse 12.

If you think there isn’t a spirit world where there is darkness, think again.

We are like David and the world and the cares of this world are our Goliath.

Ask and it shall be given unto you

A Matter of Praying…part 4 – Teach us how to pray

Prayer

No one can really teach you how to pray to God, save the Holy Spirit who dwells in every child of God. 

When we do not know what to say the Holy Spirit gives us the words.  Helps us to dig deep down and express our self. 

How to talk to God.

  1. Call him by his name. What do we call him when we try to talk to him? In any relationship we call that other person by their name. We ought to do the same with the Creator.  Call him, God.
  2. Get personal. As you get closer to him things will change. You will become more comfortable in addressing him.  The Aramaic term Abba appears 3 times in the Greek New testament. Some Christians translate it as “Daddy” as an intimate greeting. And another aspect that goes deeper in understanding the endearment of Abba is obedience.  “Father, I will obey.” (Romans 8:15)
  3. Reverence. He maybe our Father but he is not our old man.  We are to have respect for him in how we speak to him and how we come to him.  Come to him with all sincerity of heart and having a clean and free conscience. (Matthew 6:9-13)
  4. Keep it simple.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  If you want something Jesus says to ask for it.  “Ask and it shall be given unto you.” (Matthew 7:7)
  5. Never make a promise you can’t keep.  Don’t make a vow you can’t keep because God will hold you accountable.  Be careful what you say.  He hears every word and knows every deed.  Ecclesiastes 5:5
  6. Time.  Is there a good time? The best time or a better time to pray to God?  There is no fixed time to come to God.  You can come to him at anytime; He never sleeps. (Psalm 121:4)
