THE PLACE OF PRAISE AND PRAYER
Two other spiritual weapons available to us are praise and prayer.
Praise defeats the devil quicker than any other battle plan, but it must be genuine heart praise, not just
lip service or a method being tried to see if it works. Also, praise and prayer both involve the Word.
We praise God according to His Word and His goodness.
Prayer is relationship with the Godhead. It is coming and asking for help or talking to God about
something that bothers us.
If you want to have an effective prayer life, develop a good personal relationship with the Father,
Know that He loves you being full of mercy, He will help you. Get to know Jesus. He is your
Friend. He died for you. Get to know the Holy Spirit. He is with you all the time as your Helper. Let
Him help you.
Learn to fill your prayers with the Word of God. God’s Word and our need is the basis on which we
come to Him.
So, our weapons are the Word used in various ways. As Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians, our weapons
are not carnal (fleshly) weapons; they are spiritual. We need spiritual weapons because we are
fighting spirits, yes, even the devil himself.
