In over our heads

First, I want to thank Harvest Bible College for stepping up and covering this day in prayer for 24 hours.



Here, John Piper is exhorting us to use prayer for wartime communications. Well, we are at war with spiritual forces that want us dead and in hell. If we are not aware of this, or if we are just bystanders in this cosmic conflict, it may be that we are being herded timidly to disaster.

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." Paul, in 2 Corinthians 10:4.

As you go through your day and look at your city, do you see it as a place that is occupied by foreign invaders from the Kingdom of Darkness? Or are you just used to it, because it was always this way? Or, worse, are you a collaborator, some one who assists the wicked at staying in power by keeping the other prisoners docile and busy?

This is why we pray for every sphere of society: because the enemy has influence over every one of them. And that is why a part of our prayer is to resist the enemy and to repent of our sins and of cooperating with him. Please join us today!
