Over and over again you will hear me say these words. “God never intended that His church be powerless.” I will add this as well. He never intended that we cower and be bullied by the devil. He has already fought and won your battle, and the battle for your family and church. This prayer time is designed to help you pray through the power of God to break what is illegally standing in your mind, home, and church.
It starts with the Children of Israel standing at the Red Sea. You can read this part of the story in Exodus 14. I can’t even imagine what that must have felt like. They were slaves, not warriors. There is an army behind them and a large body of water before them. Even more intense is Moses who feels responsible for them. He is standing with the Egyptian army behind them and the Red Sea before them. Maybe this scenario sounds familiar to you especially if you feel your back is against a wall and there is no where to turn. Moses is having himself a big prayer meeting. He is crying out!
I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING WHAT GOD SAYS TO MOSES IN THIS CRISIS
Exodus 14:15-16 (NKJV)
15 And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
God tells Moses, “Why you crying? Move the people forward. Lift up your rod, stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it.”
AS YOU ARE PRAYING WITH ME ABOUT STRONGHOLDS
Cry out, but be prepared for God to tell you to move forward! Be resolved to have to use God’s Word to accomplish what ever task must be done. Then be ready to see the glory of God move in your behalf.
Jump into prayer with me!
Blessings,
