Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Sometimes our prayer lives can become stale, dutiful, and dry. We can go through the motions without any sense of urgency, passion or desperation. At such times we need a reminder of the reality of the battle going on in the heavenly realms.
Prayer and fasting play an important role as spiritual disciplines in my journey with Christ. When I discovered what Satanists were praying for, or rather against, it certainly added a realisation of how critical it is to engage in spiritual warfare. Here are twelve things that Satanists are encouraged to pray for daily:
1. That the Anti-Christ will come before the church is ready.
2. That ministries, leaders, and missionaries will fall.
3. That ministries and works of the Lord will be destroyed.
4. That Christians become complacent, want peace above all, seek churches that do not preach the full gospel and pastors who will seek peace at all costs.
5. That Christians stop fasting and praying.
6. That the gifts of the Spirit shall be ignored.
7. That families and marriages break up.
8. That pastors, ministers, and leaders of the Body fall into dispute and turn on each other.
9. That there be no unity of pastors and churches within cities.
10. That pastors and leaders fall into illness and disability so they can no longer carry on.
11. That the next generation will be murdered and not come into their generational destiny.
12. That the church will not loose and equip people to come into their destiny.
Does that make you think about prayer differently? Is it just a ritual, or do you recognize the reality of spiritual warfare?
Lord, I choose to put on the full armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) today. Teach me to pray effectively. Amen!
