Does it thrill you as it does me? God’s mighty weapons, not the guns and swords of earth, but the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead—available to us as believers. Armed with God’s truth, we pray for those who are bound by the enemy, trapped behind the strongholds of exalted thinking and human rationality. Interceding for them, we call on God’s infinite resurrection power to bring down those walls. “Planting the flag” for Christ, we claim them as His.
Without a word from us to them.
And then—Wonderful Day!—we hear the news. The prodigal has returned. The dead have been raised. And all we did was pray. What power is unleashed on earth when we bring heavenly weapons to the fight, for today and for the future.
I pray for those I love today and for those yet to be born. I pray that God will raise up ten descendants from me, from the generations to come, who will know His name. I claim
I know it will be. They may never know me on this earth, but they will know His name. God will do it, and the only word from me will be my prayer. And therein lies the power.
Lord, who needs my interceding prayer today?
