The Power of Prayer

I had a dream the other night about the end times, the Apocalypse. In the dream there were monsters everywhere. I was in a building trying to hide.

All I felt was fear.

The kind of fear that drops to the pit of your stomach. The kind of fear that takes over every part of your being. You can't think, you can't move, your hands tremble. That fear I felt was for the lost. The people who don't know Jesus Christ as their Savior or those who choose not to believe. That fear in my dream was a call to prayer. Prayer is one of the most powerful weapons God gives is as believers. Prayer can move mountains, it can stop wars and it can heal hearts. In Ephesians 6:12 the Bible says
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
We need to step up and take a stand. We need to pray for the lost.

Matthew 25:41 reminds us that Hell was created for Satan and his fallen angels, not us!! God doesn't desire us to live in heart stopping fear but to be transformed by the love of Jesus!!
