With every single prayer uttered, the warrior is recharged, revived and ready for battle again

Prayer Warrior in Need of Prayer

The mission of a prayer warrior is to pray for others.
They fight for others by going before the problem and bringing it up to the Lord with all boldness. It is their calling; to be selfless, thinking about others, making the sacrifice to serve others when they too may be in need.


In the book of Ephesians chapter 6, we must put on the full armor of God so we can withstand the fiery darts of the devil. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The strength of the warrior lies with the Lord. As the warrior prays and becomes dependent on God, power from God sustains the warrior in the evil day.


As a doctor needing a doctor when he or she is ill, it is not unusual for the warrior to falter in battle and suffer the scars of many wounds. Tragedy, sickness, loss of employment, insurmountable stress, the occasional unbelief, and doubt may fell the warrior from time to time. It is not unusual as warriors are human and are also subject to all the machinations of life. Therefore, they are in great need of support.


Unfortunately, much like the poor man who saved the city cited in the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 15, and was forgotten, so too we forget the warrior in our devotions. With every single prayer uttered, the warrior is recharged, revived, refreshed, and ready for battle once again.

He called those things which be not as though they were. and Abraham staggered not as the promise of God through unbelief but was strong in faith.

Prayer Warrior Attitude Of Positivity

Hope in the face of disasters, failures, and suffering can be sometimes nonexistent
There is no looking away from what will come, no hiding from the inevitable.
Sorrow seeks only darkness, blinds the eyes from hope.
But if not for a simple grain of faith, we as humans of adversities would be miserable.
A Warrior must exercise positivity when the hands of negativity squeeze the living daylights out of the pure life we live.
As sure as the air we breathe, darkness always strive against the light.
Once, there is nothing, twice and still the same, the temptation to give in rides the Warrior hard.
Over and over, mere words ascend to heaven.
Once again, the outcome remains the same.
The burning desire to bring an end to prayer becomes resolute.
How much longer can the Warrior go on?
The battle cry of the desperate heart is soon.
The dawn of newness is at hand as the night turns into day.
There is victory when the Warrior concedes the battle as the Lord’s.

God who called those things which be not as though they were. Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able to perform. Romans 4: 17, 20 and 21.

The warrior needs to draw near to him in simple and willing obedience.

Prayer Warrior Remembers

The Remembrance Feast or the Lord’s Supper is not a duty and should not be such.
It is a privilege. An answer to a dying request.
It is not a command.
It is not a religious service.
We do not follow systemic rituals or tradition; we follow our Saviour.
As followers of Christ, we strive to be like Him because He is our example.
His words mapped in the Holy Scriptures set instructions for us to follow.
We do not follow any earthly man or system. Called, we use the gifts he bestowed on us.
In war-torn areas of the world, many followers of Christ remember him in secret, hidden away for fear of discovery yet, bravely take precious opportunity to worship the Father and contemplate the Son.
A good Warrior must take time to remember the One they work for and who controls all things.
The Warrior needs to draw near to him in simple and willing obedience.

He took bread and gave thanks and brake it and gave unto them saying, this is my body which is given for you this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you. Luke 22: 19 and 20

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you do show the Lord’s death till he come. 1 Corinthians 11:26

My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me

Prayer Warrior Hears His Voice

Amidst all the noise and clattering of words, there are many voices to be heard.
The good voice that gives advice and comfort in a time of need.
The kind voice that claims all is well.
The angry voice that disputes a wrong.
Then, the vengeful voice that demands dark justice.
Strange voices are heard far too often, and yet above their deafening cacophony, His voice rings strong and sure in the ears of His children.
Those who are not His, have no ears to hear, no hands to lift in praise and no heart to understand the whispering surety of his words.
Words that call out to us in the day, in the night, so many times loud and clear, enough to drown the noise into silence.
And we know his voice when we listen for its tonality, its texture, and its vernacular, a dialect belonging solely to him.
A gentle sound saying, “You, child of mine, come, and let us two go forward.”

And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, this is the way, walk you in it when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27

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

we humble our self

A Matter of Praying…Part 3 – Direct Connection to God

Prayer

We have a direct connection to the Creator, to the Holy Father, the God of all flesh, the One who called those things that are not into being. (Romans 4:17)

This relationship is a two-way street, where there is giving and taking.  God gives and we take.  Not one good thing would he withhold to those who walk uprightly. We cannot hoodwink God.  He knows all things, he knows the heart and every motive.  If we ask for things to only consume them in our lust, we will not receive those things. We need to remember who He is. (Psalm 84:11), (James 4:3)  

As we get closer to God, the things we want seem to fall in line with his desires for us.  Sometimes, we call on him not knowing what to ask for, but being sealed with the Holy Spirit, He makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. The Spirit mingles a sweet savor to the Father who accepts our prayers with all joy, because the Father likes to hear the voices of his children.

As we read of Him in the Bible we begin to understand Him more and more.  He reveals Himself in the pages of his Word, because it is there we get a taste of his character.  As we see that He is good, we seek to please him. We want more of Him so we approach him in prayer on our knees, on our face. We humble our self knowing we are nothing before Him.  Like Moses who took off his shoes and King David who washed, shaved, and changed his clothes before coming before the true and living God, we too have this privilege and we should own it with all Reverence; giving  Him the glory, the honor that is due to him. 

We are His children.

Day 5 of May

Who is He?

And they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3 verse 13 and 14


There are about 300 times in the Bible mentioned “I am” beginning with Genesis 15 verse 1 and ending with Revelation 22 verse 16. Most times it gives us a small picture of God’s character. For example when God says to Abram, “I am thy shield and exceeding great reward.” In other words, God is saying he will protect you and keep you safe. He is saying he is a God of love and care. His lovingkindness is incomparable; there is no one like Him.

Is He not beautiful?


In Exodus, God introduces himself as the IAM. He announces His divine person. IAM is present continuous. He is now and forever, the first and the last, the alpha and the omega.


I continue to be what I continue to be and will be. The ever-existing One or He that is to come. From eternity past and will be in eternity.

He cannot deny himself

Trust in the Lord

The Park

Trust and don’t be afraid.

He promised to always be there, never to leave nor turn away.

Take his hand and he will guide.

Ask of him can he not provide?

When we call his name, he answers every cry.

The closer we are, the closer he stays.

He is touched by the beating of our hearts,

By the breathing of our spirit.

Captivated by the brightness of our souls, he looked upon us and his compassion was stirred.   

Who is he that he should love us?

Who is he that he cannot deny himself? 

He is master.

He is Lord.

He is God.

Trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own understanding. Proverbs 3 verse 3

They shall be my children…

He is Our Father…

River in Spring and Winter 2021

God said, “I will gather them together from all the corners of the earth.

Nations, kindred, people from generation to generation, those who are great with a future and those who have nothing.

The sick, lame and blind, will they all come.

They will gather by the waters for rest and for refreshment,

There will be no more weeping, no fainting; not even a soul shall stumble.

They shall be my children and I will be their Father.”

( reference: Jeremiah 31 verse 8 and 9)
