Satan doesn't want you to see this message because the power of prayer is great. Prayer has the power to and is the only way for you to move the heavens on behalf of those for whom you pray. Prayer has the power to impact those you love as well as your whole country and even the whole world. Intercessory prayer is the battlefield wherewith we join forces with God to bring down the strongholds of the enemy.
James 5:14-18
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.
Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the
elders of the church; and let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick,
and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have
committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray
one for another, that ye may be healed. The
effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man
availeth much.
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as
we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might
not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the
space of three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain,
and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Earnest and effectual prayer which comes against the wiles of the wicked one. Fervent prayer that understands the urgent need for intercession. Prayers with only concern for selfish gain have flooded the heavens to no avail.
ACUTE: Severe, Serious, Sharp, Critical, Important,
Dire or Desperate
Acute Prayer that is effectual is desired by God, was demonstrated by Jesus and is directed by the Holy Spirit. Abraham prayed intercessory for Sodom and Gemorrah and asked God not to destroy the righteous. Moses prayed intercessory for the congregation of Israel that God would not destroy them out of His anger.
Intercessory Prayer: Prayer offered to God on behalf
of others in accordance with God's will.
God Looks for Intercessors...
Ezekiel 22:30-31
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should
make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me
for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I
found none.
31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation
upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of
my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon
their heads, saith the Lord God.
"When God knew of a ruined situation, which was
happening to His people, He would share His anguish
then seek out a man of prayer and baptize him in
anguish." ~ David Wilkerson
God grieves for injustices like exploitation, human trafficking, heavy burdens and oppression. When you see injustice do you pray for intersession or do you leave it all up to God?
Matthew 26:36-42
36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye
here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of
Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and
watch with me.
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his
face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless
not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth
them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye
not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the
flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed,
saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away
from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Include in your prayers with humility, like Jesus, that you are praying for that which is God's will. Jesus showed obedience even unto death though His prayer that 'this cup pass from me' was not the will of God.
Romans 8:26-28
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is
the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to the will
of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose.
Jude 20-21
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your
most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for
the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Satan trembles when he sees even the weakest followers of Christ on their knees.

Prayer is the best thing that has ever happened to Christians. God gave us a choice by praying your way in and out of every situation. That's one thing that is require of us into the miraculous. What a great God.
@stevenmosoes
When we read His words, He speaks to us and when we pray, He listen to all our complains. Why complain to man then but to God in prayer.
If we know we call it, then the Creator will listen to us. God bless you
I agree with you brother @deathlyhorror! Prayer is the key.
Blessings.
There is power in prayer indeed. Thanks for sharing
Honestly, I don't think we can make it in life without prayers especially judging from where I come from. There are so many unseen battles and challenges that prayer can comfortably take care of. Just like you rightly said, the devil doesn't want us to pray because of what we can achieve while communicating with God.
There was a time, I was so sick, that I barely talk or walk, prayers saw me through. Yes, sometimes I get weak and too tired to pray, but it has always been my best weapon in life. It has brought me this far, and I'm not ready to stop praying no matter how hard the devil tries to make me weak.
Thank you so much for such encouragement. God bless you
May the Lord always hear your prayers and strengthen you. God Bless
Yea,prayer is the key to unlock the supernatural,prayer is the key to every successful endevour.
Thank you for this publication, the Prayer is the closest we have with God, greetings @deathlyhorror, I wait for you in my blog with your support!
Prayer is the scepter of believer. Jesus is an example of a man of prayer.https://steemit.com/christain-trail/@alfredinho/living-carefully
Prayer stands as communication between God and man.
@deathlyhorror your posts seem to be synchronized with some things going on in my life and that's a blessing. As I mentioned in a previous post, my wife claims to be an unbeliever, but the truth is she's been taken hold by the spirit witchcraft, and for the past 2 days she has done some unspeakable things. So I'm calling any and all believers to sign a petition of prayer for Avelino's wife, Sydney, to be blessed with the saving grace of Jesus our Messiah. Thank you and bless you.
May you and your wife find peace through Christ Jesus.
Thank you brother, I greatly appreciate it.
I agree with you brother @deathlyhorror! Prayer is the key.
The prayers of a lover of God never goes untendered. Lets strive to be lovers of God as we pray without ceasing.
I am a witness to the power of prayer. I saw him in God responding and waving his hand in my favor.
Prayer is powerful.. Prayer is the key to open door.
God bless you richly for this post.
If Jesus can pray, then it means we should pray more.
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Glory be to God Almighty
Thanks for this great Bible Study @deathlyhorror
Prayer is a very powerful weapon for this warfare we are in. Yes the battle is the lord's.
The good news is that our God gave us prayer as a gift to pour out our hearts to him with all due humility being that he is faithful one and answers whenever we call on him.
He later confirms it to us that he is indeed a mighty warrior and our saviour by coming on our rescue; fighting, defending and protecting us from all sorts of evil.
I have been ministered to.
God bless you so much!Thanks so much @deathlyhorror for sharing.
GRAN POST, Desperate prayer, reminds me of Ana when she spilled her soul before God, Wilkerson was a general of God, his preachings still burn with fire, like Leonardo Ravenhill, greetings beloved brother
Thanks for the insight

A mandate have been given to us as christ followers and we need prayer to accomplish the task, check the mandate,https://steemit.com/christain-trail/@alfredinho/being-born-again

Prayer goes a long way in the kingdom realm, It breaks every yoke. When we pray,we are connecting ourselves to God and shaming the devil himself. We should also intercede for our nation as it was in the Bible,Intercessory prayer does great thing. Thanks for the post
