Greetings, this is day 11 out of 24 of reading the Bible with Darren!

Did someone forget to press publish today? Well, I guess I did. So it’s going out together with day 12 :)

The Purpose of Prayer;

Luke 11

As followers of Jesus Christ, we all experience spiritual warfare. However, if we focus only on the attacks against us, we give the - devil too much credit. When spiritual warfare increases in our lives, we need to go to a new level of prayer so we can release God’s power and will.
You must take prayer seriously. You are in a war, and your enemy wants to kill you (John 10:10; Ephesians 6:12). One type of demon that comes against us is called a principality, which is a spirit prince over a geographic region. In the Old Testament, the prophet Daniel battled principalities (Daniel 10:12-13, 20-21). Jesus’ healing of the demon-possessed man in Mark 5 also shows the reality of territorial principalities (Mark 5:9-10). We fight principalities every time souls are saved, every time we plant a new church in a new city, and every time we stand for righteousness in our nation.
