Prayer Warrior

You know those time that you are struggling, and going through a tough time, and you have those people who say “oh I’m praying for you” and you walk away thinking “yea sure you are” they are just blowing smoke out of their mouth and they might send up a prayer to you right there, but then they will forget all about you?  Yep we all have those in our lives, and we all have been those in the lives of others.  I know that I have been that person more than not, and I that kills me.  Because that person is trusting me with something that they want me to go to the Father on behalf of, and all I do is send one prayer up and than forget about them.  But then we have those precious people who are just prayer warriors, and it blesses their heart to spend hours on their knees before the Savior on behalf of others.  Those souls are just precious! There are those few people who have come to me before going overseas and they tell me that they are praying for me, and it just brings comfort to my heart because I know that without their prayers I wouldn’t be going overseas in the first place.  And I know that without a doubt, they are at home on their knees interceding for me.  Let me tell you, those prayers make such a difference.  There were so many times whenever I was in Burma, and I just felt the  presence of the enemy over my life and couldn’t get him away.  And in those moments I would feel and experience the prayers of others and the Lord would bind the enemy off and the peace of Christ would wash over my life.  
The Lord is really working on my heart and teaching me how to be a prayer warrior.  When someone is struggling or hurting….truly going before the Lord, heartbroken and burdened for that person as if they were my family.  Because they are my family.  If they are a child of God then they are my brothers and sisters, and we should be on our faces in prayer for our brothers and sisters, prayer that their hearts would be comforted and that the Lord would continue to work in their lives.  Man I have never really thought much about prayer warriors, but the Lord is teaching and growing my heart in so many ways right now, and really teaching me the power of prayer.  I think sometimes we underestimate prayer and don’t believe in the power of prayer.  I want to be a prayer warrior for the Lord.  I want to be a prayer warrior for those who are one for me.  I want to be a prayer warrior for all of my brothers and sisters.  My brothers and sisters here in America and my brothers and sisters all over the world faithfully serving our Lord!
