David Jeremiah daily Devotionals July 29 2022 :
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.
Ephesians 6:18
Recommended Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18
A Tampa doctor was tragically killed in 2019 when his airplane crashed without warning. Investigators discovered an airport worker had pumped the wrong fuel into the engine. The aircraft lost power shortly after takeoff and crashed into a soybean field.[1]
To keep our spiritual lives soaring, we also require the right fuel. The fuel for the Christian life, according to Ephesians 6:18, is prayer. Prayer is the energy that makes it possible for the Christian warrior to wear the armor of God and wield the sword of the Spirit. Prayer is the combustion that adds power to our lives and strength to our souls. Prayer is the propellant that reaches heaven and returns with blessings.
In the midst of a battle, we need our spiritual armor, and we can only be well-clad with the armor of the believer when we are fueled up with the power of prayer. Spend a little extra time today with the Lord, and enjoy the habit of “praying always with all prayer and supplication.”
Prayer will consume sin—or sin will choke prayer.
J. C. Ryle.
