Prayer Life IN the Last Days
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
Revelation 3:10 | NKJV
WE live in tumultuous times. We are being bombarded with endless natural disasters - floods, earthquakes, pandemic, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, freak weather patterns across the entire world.
To make matter worse, we experience persecutions, wars, lawlessness, immorality, corruption... the list goes on. Even our family lives have suffered also - marital breakdown, a soaring divorce rate, domestic violence, abortion. While the world is slowly falling apart, the Bible warns that there is more to come as these 'birth pangs' slowly intensify. We heard of numerous accounts on social media of people - both Christians and non-Christians - having dreams, visions of the rapture and tribulation as the Spirit of God is poured out on all humanity.
The signs are here as foretold in Acts 2:17, And it shall come to pass in the Last Days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions; your old men shall dream dreams.
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
John 15:4
IT IS our mission to restore the prayer life among believers and increase our faith with the little time that we have left. We suggest a minimum of 4 hours of prayer time dedicated to prayer and meditation -meditating on the Word of God. This will encourage a closer union with the LORD, and can also take the form of examination of conscience, silent time with the LORD, listening to Rhemas, Scripture reading, aligning yourself with the will of God for you.
The 4-hour daily prayer time
The basis of any relationship is communication. It is therefore necessary for mankind to communicate with GOD regularly to develop and deepen this relationship. JESUS is not a religion; He is a relationship - a relationship established between GOD and His people.
A prayer life is necessary
Our prayers - both spoken and unspoken - are powerful. Every prayer said is a force that effects change to both the spirit and the physical realms. It can stop evil. The Apostle James writes, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." JESUS says prayer is the greatest protection that we have against the kingdom of darkness. We will come under His protection in a world that is increasingly perilous.
Our prayer life defines us as believers. Only through a committed prayer life can we move the heart of GOD. Here is a list of powerful prayers which you can use during your prayer time. If you can devote more time to prayer or Christian meditation, so much the better. This list is by no means exhaustive, but should form your core prayers, which you can later fine-tune accordingly. The main objective is to lead you into a closer union with CHRIST.
“Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is the key to God's heart. You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips, but with your heart. In fact on certain occasions you should only speak to Him with your heart.”
⏤ St. Pio of Pietrelcina
Make no mistake - this world is not a playground but a spiritual battlefield against the dark forces. Young and old, all are susceptible to spiritual attacks. The devil is cunning, subtle in all its ways, who steals, kills and destroy souls. We need to equip ourselves with spiritual weapons to go on the offensive and defensive.
'Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.'
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 | NKJV
Prayer list
Be aware, My children. Be aware! Your enemy is so clever. But if you stay in My Love ⏤ always patient, always forgiving, refusing to judge, understanding that I am allowing these things to temper and test your virtue. If you continuously keep before you the vision of Me being in control of every one of these things, I can return your peace to you before it robs you of your day.
