Mark 9:29
And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by
anything but prayer.”
Jesus taught us, "And you shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all
your strength." He emphasized that
this was the greatest commandment. It is
the highest order in the kingdom. Our
number one purpose on earth and in heaven is to love God, to praise Him and to
bring glory to His name. One of the
foremost ways that we can meet the requirements of this commandment is through
our prayers.
When we are engaged in work that we consider to be the work
of the Lord, we can lose sight of the fact that the work is being done out of
the loving relationship that we have with Our Lord. If we let our relationship with God slip, He
will withdraw the power that He gives us to do His good work. He is far more interested in our relationship
with Him than He is in the result of our work.
Our relationship with the Father is built and sustained through our
prayer life.
We may be able to manipulate some things in the flesh, but
all the things that provide real kingdom value will not endure under the burden
of broken fellowship with the Father.
Through regular prayer, we build on our relationship with Our Father and
we insure that we are empowered to do the greatest works that He has called us
to do, even to cast out evil.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your perfect love in our
lives. We thank You for allowing us the
privilege of returning our love, our praise and our worship to You through our
prayers. We bless the name of Jesus, who
dwells within us, for making it possible for us to have victory over evil. Father, we pray that all that we do is born
out of the intimacy of our relationship with You. We humbly ask for the grace to stay in
constant fellowship with You through our prayers. We beseech You to grant us the power over the
evil in our lives and the lives of those that surround us. May it all be for Your glory. We ask all these things in the name of the One
who has has victory over all evil, Jesus Christ.
