What is prayer?

Prayer is the battleground on which we meet the enemy head-on. As S.D Gordon says,

Prayer is man giving God a footing on the contested territory of this earth.
The man in full touch of purpose with God, praying, insistently praying
- that man is God's footing on the enemy's soil.
The man wholly given over to God gives him a new sub-headquarters on the battlefield from which to work out.
And the Holy Spirit within that man, on the new spot, will insist on the enemy's retreat in Jesus the Victor's name.

That is prayer.

Shall we not, every one of us, increase God's footing down upon His prodigal earth?

*Joseph: This is great! I just can't wait to share to you all after reading this on the website! Can you not say "AMEN" after reading this? Can you donothing after reading this? PRAY! NOW!

How long had you ran away from God? When is the last time you pray to God except "before eat, and before sleep" prayer?

Ezekiel 22:30 says "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."

God is searching for people to "stand in the gap" and pray for protection, deliverance and help for others.

Can't you see needy are all around you? Do you know your friend is having a hard time this week? Do you know what is happening people around you? You don't, right? See their heart with the eyes of God!


FRIEND, STAND IN THE GAP!
