We need to pray for each other for this precious opportunity!

Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:19 for fellow-believers to pray for him that Godly inspiration would be given to him. He also asked for boldness to preach the Gospel. Isn’t that interesting? The great apostle needed prayer for wisdom to speak, and for boldness to share his faith. This is what most of us go through today. This is not a new thing. It is God’s will and desire is that we share the Gospel, but it is an ongoing battle for most people. We daily battle the enemy of our souls who is constantly trying to shut down our witness. We battle embarrassment. We battle the thoughts of what people may think about us as believers. Having said that, this is another reason that we need to pray for each other. We need to pray in this day that God’s wisdom would flow through us mightily each and every day for  the benefit of those around us that need to hear the Gospel. We also need prayer for daily boldness because the only way people will come to saving faith in Christ, is that someone preach to them. Pray therefore every day for inspiration and boldness. God will honor this prayer, and these kind of prayers please God because He sees that you desire to do His will, which is for everyone to hear the good news of the Gospel!

Ephesians 6:19 “and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel”

You are His ambassador!

We are ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). We are also co-workers with God ( 2 Corinthians 6:1). When we pray, we have the authority to bring to God the report of the condition of our region. we also have the authority to request resources, wisdom, blessings, healings, understanding for our region and the people of that region. We have authority to be a blessing to our families, our churches, where we work, etc. When we pray, we are activating our legal authority and right to bring change in the place where God gave us influence. Paul once taught about having authority in a specific sphere, and among a specific people (2 Corinthians 10:13). You are authorized to pray in your sphere of influence, and God honors your prayers because you are His ambassador, His co-worker. Your prayers will bring forth wisdom, healing, revelation knowledge, angelic intervention, divine answers, divine protection, divine provision. Don’t allow anything to hinder your daily prayers. Your family, your community, your city, even this nation depends on each of us praying and standing in the gap every day!

Ephesians 6:18 & 19 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel”
