    6 Elements To Warfare Prayer Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022
     | 5,255 views

    Daniel prayed with resolve—he set his face. He prayed with tremendous reflection—he looked upon God. I hate to say, and so much of my prayer is casual prayer, prayer that comes with almost a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. God is calling us at this late hour to pray with serious concentration.

    Americans are riddled with anxiety. Many of you are full of anxious thoughts throughout the night. Many of us feel an impending sense of danger just around the corner. For some, this apprehension is about their jobs, their marriage and their children. Most of us think if we had a little more money, ...read more

    “You will all fall away,” Jesus told them, “for it is written: “‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’”

    What was your darkest moment in life? When did you hit a sort of rock bottom? I can think a few of moments in my life. I remember when I was 17 years old, I was downstairs in my parents basement.

    We are so busy. Are we too busy to pray? What do we pray for? Does AMEN mean we are disconnecting God and getting back to life -- or does it mean something else?

    There are 5 Presbyterian congregations in Iraq, and lately, I have been writing and receiving email from some of their pastors and elders. I told them about our 24 hour prayer vigil. They were very, very impressed. Looking back, I realize, I might have given them the wrong impression. I’m going ...read more

    We desire, and expect God’s forgiveness when we ask. But it is so hard to offer that forgiveness to others when they sin against us.

    Forgive? Who Me? Matthew 18:21-35 I remember this story about a famous person in American history, and for the life of me, I can’t remember who it was. Anyway, this person was asked one Sunday afternoon about the worship service he attended that morning. “What did the preacher preach about?” ...read more

    3rd in long series on Joshua. This is about the temptation to settle in, to give up when it gets hard, to accept less than the best.

    Joshua 1:12-18 – Settling In an old Peanuts cartoon, Lucy demanded that her brother Linus change TV channels and then threatened him with her fist if he didn’t. "What makes you think you can walk right in here and take over?" asked Linus. "These five fingers," said Lucy. ...read more

    we pray a lot of prayer points. Some of these prayer points may sound strange to some people. But for those who understand the war going on in the spirit, they are familiar items. For example at MFM, we pray a lot about buried virtues.

    Psalm 30:3 says, “O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit.” In Psalm 49: 14 - 15, the Bible says, “Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over ...read more
