Praying with precision is key. When we pray about the places where we seriously suspect the enemy is at work—that’s how we keep our prayers focused, not only on particular situations but on biblical truths that are consistent with maintaining victory in the midst of them. It’s how our praying stays integrated with reality, rather than aimlessly wandering down a side, spiritual hallway that never seems to connect with the living room, where we, you know . . . live. It’s how we keep our whole selves engaged and alert, trusting God for the right things, confident He’s giving them, able to sense His direction about what to do and then to take action accordingly.
Apostle Paul tells us of the FOCUS we should have, “ Run in such a way as to get the prize Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air (1 Corinthians 9:25-27).”
If all we’re doing is flinging words and emotions in all directions without any real consideration for the specific ways the enemy is targeting us and the promises of God that apply to us, we’re mostly just wasting our time. We’re adding to the confusion while not really making a noticeable dent in the problem or the process. We’re fighting to keep our heads above water, yet feeling pretty sure on most days we’re fighting a losing battle.
Well, part of that idea is right: WE ARE in a battle. A battle with a long history that reaches back before the annals of time began. But it’s one in which the victor has already been determined( Christ Jesus and the ones who chose Him and live in Him). A battle, yes. And prayer is our not-so-secret weapon in the fight. I’d even venture to say, our MOST POTENT ONE. I’m willing to admit, right up front, there’s an undeniable, unknowable, invisible mystery to prayer. That’s why our first reaction to it often leans toward dismissing it, downplaying it, devaluing its CRITICAL IMPORTANCE.
HALELUJAH. GOD IS OUR GUIDE AND ENABLER.
