Did you know
that you are heavily armed and highly dangerous right now? It's
true! You're armed with a cosmic weapon that God Himself designed
to win spiritual battles here on earth. Still stumped?
It's Prayer!
When you pray, Satan and all his angels dive for cover. And your
prayers invite God to move His mighty hand into places and situations
Satan claims for his own. Now that you know you've got the power,
use it for missions!
Here are 10 ways
you can pray for missionaries and people groups.
- Be sure to
confess your sins to God and ask Him to clean you inside
and make you a more effective prayer warrior!
- Always pray
that God will tell you what to pray for. He knows what battles
are raging overseas, and He's waiting for you to ask!
- Take a pair
of scissors to your copy of Adventist Frontiers. Cut out
pictures of missionaries and other people to pray for, and pin
them up
on bulletin board, or stick them to your refrigerator to
remind you to pray for them regularly.
- Get together
with friends to pray. The Bible tells us that God sends His
presence in a special way to groups gathered in His name.
- Choose one
missionary to focus your prayers on for a week.
- After you've
chosen a missionary to pray for, pray for different things
each day of the week.
-
- On Monday,
pray for the people the missionary is witnessing to.
- On Tuesday,
pray for the missionary's physical health.
- On Wednesday,
pray for the missionary's spiritual health.
- On Thursday,
pray for the missionary's mental health.
- On Friday,
pray for the missionary's family and social health.
- Look up Bible
promises to claim for your missionary as you pray.
- Be very specific
in your prayers, and God will bless the missionary in very
specific ways!
- Don't forget
to pray for your missionary as you go about your day!
- Sign up for
the AFM prayer warrior squad! You will be a member of a prayer
chain that receives urgent prayer needs straight from the
mission front lines!
