Scripture: Ephesians 6:18, NIV
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
New King James Version says, “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”
New Revised Standard Version says, “Pray in the Spirit al all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints.”
This is the Divine direction and the wisest advice given to us by Apostle Paul. The number one and the foremost thing to do as Christians is to pray. Prayer shouldn’t stop until our breath stops!
We are to pray on all occasions, at all times in our life…….
at time of success and at time of failure,
at time of light and at time of darkness,
at time of victory and at time of defeat,
at time of mountain top and at time of valley,
at time of gain and at time of loss.
We are to pray all kinds of prayer……
a prayer of joy,
a prayer of thanksgiving,
a prayer of praise,
a prayer of concern,
a prayer of request,
a prayer of petition,
a prayer of supplication.
We are to pray always in the Spirit because the struggles in our life are “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.”
Pray always with all prayers in the Holy Spirit!
