I have to post this. I have been reading "Prayer Warrior" by Stormie Omartian. I struggle with taking time for prayer and supplication, as do many of us, though we don't like to admit it. This book is an easy read and makes so much since. We are all called to be Prayer Warrior! Here is what she says...
Essentially she says that this is all it takes to know you are called...ask yourself this:
" Do you see people suffering and it bothers you?...
Do you recognize evil proliferating in the world?...
Do you experience any injustice in your life or can you identify it in the lives of others?...
Do you observe wrong things happening around you and you want to right them?...
Do you ever have a certain person heavy on your heart and it concerns you, but you are not sure why?...
Do you observe tragic situation happening to people and feel helpless to do anything to stop them?...
Do you become grieved in your spirit when you see blatant disregard for God and His ways?...
A prayer warrior has a heart of compassion for suffering people and bad situations, and desires to do something to make a difference."
We must recognize that we are in a war that has no end until Christ has come again. Period. We may win small skirmishes but every minute every where someone is in a war for their soul, even if they do not recognize it as such. prayer is intercession that we take on for others in this world. No purpose is too big or small.
As Christians, we are all supposed to be in prayer over all things that the Spirit moves us on. Not just our family, friends and close associates, but in all things. Stand with me and ask God to put you to work as a Prayer Warrior.
I haven't finished the book, but download it from Amazon or buy it. It is definitely worth the read.
