Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches!
Pour out your heart like water before the presence of the Lord!
Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Lamentations 2:19 ESV

Dangerous Prayers

Did you know that prayer is dangerous?

First of all, it is dangerous to Satan. But prayer is also dangerous to us.
 
Prayers of praise affirm God's authority and bring His Presence and power among us. And, running into God's Presence defeats the enemy.
 
Prayers of confession reveal our unbelief and defeat Satan's attempts to get us off mission.
 
Prayers of thanksgiving free us up to see God and encourage us to stand against the enemy in God’s wondrous working power—the same power that raised the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead.
 
Prayers of intercession are both defensive and offensive in character and go over the head of the ruler of this world to the King over of all creation.
 
When we stand in belief, there are no wimpy prayers. The enemy considers each prayer dangerous to his objectives. We're here to take back what the enemy has stolen.
 
Prayer is dangerous to us, too, to our flesh. Prayer strengthens our walk with the Lord and helps keep us in step with the Spirit.
 
So, whatever you do, don’t stop praying!


Be unceasing and persistent in prayer.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (AMP)
