Ephesians 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; At the end
of Paul’s description of the Roman soldier prepared for battle, he makes the
application. Just like the soldier has to be ready for battle, so too we as
Christians must be ready to do battle against Satan with his tricks. But we are
not going to win in the battle against Satan. He is much stronger and wiser
than we are. But, Satan is no match against the Almighty God! And our key to
victory is to trust in God. We must let God fight for us! That is why our verse
speaks about prayer and supplication. Supplication means to plead with God
for a request. We need to pray, not only for ourselves and for our battles, but
we need to pray for other Christians and their battles. While we are in the
middle of a spiritual battle, so are missionaries in Africa, and Romania, and
Venezuela. We should pray for our victory, but also for the victory of others.
As our verse says, praying always.
