Prayer that naturally takes place





Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints

 Those who have a correct understanding of the Gospel have no choice but to pray. We will come to realize the spiritual truths and see the plan of God if we continue to listen to the Gospel. Then we will enjoy the Gospel, and prayer will naturally take place from then on. We will pray correctly because we will see God’s plan. We will receive answers when this prayer becomes real.






1. We can conquer the world if prayer takes place
 Because they are connected with God 24 hours a day, children of God will surely receive answers if they hold to the mystery of prayer. The reason why people, no matter how much good experience or wisdom they have, cannot overcome their spiritual problems is because of the existence of Satan. Without exception, people in the Bible, who conquered the world and were victorious, possessed‘only the Gospel.’ They enjoyed God being with them in all circumstances. Because they were sure that answers would come, they had no reason to worry or fight. When we realize God’s plan, we will find ourselves seated in the place of success and answers. This is the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God will conquer the world through those who receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit.






2. The stage when prayer takes place is far more important
 What is most important in the stage when prayer takes place is correct thinking. Thanksgiving must constantly overflow from us in the Gospel. In the midst of this, we must make good decisions. And what is important is the correct structure of lifestyle. For the sake of having the correct structure of lifestyle, we must manage our time well. We must always be prepared through time management because important opportunities will certainly come knocking. In addition, we must have the eyes to see the events that unfold in our lives. We need to put down deep roots in the Gospel and see those events with Gospel-centered thoughts. We must find God’s plan in the midst of these things.






3. Full armor of prayer
 We will only have victory in the world when we put on the full armor of the complete Gospel. First, we must be filled with Gospel-centered thoughts by putting on the helmet of salvation. Second, we must have thanksgiving overflowing in our hearts by putting on the breastplate of righteousness. Third, we must have the belt of truth buckled around our waist and follow the Word that will be fulfilled. Fourth, we must take up the shield of faith and the sword of the Word of God. Fifth, we must have our feet fitted with the shoes of the Gospel so that we can align everything with the direction of evangelism. Last, but not least, is continuous prayer. With this mystery in us, we can be more than conquerors in our field.
