PLEASANT HILL BAPTIST CHURCH

into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door,
pray to the Father which is in secret; and thy Father
which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
While prayer does have public dimensions, such as during
church services, and group dimensions, such as with a prayer
partner or with family members, prayer is also a personal
and private time between you and your God. Regardless
of how busy you are, there MUST be time during your day
when you take time to “have a little talk with Jesus.”
According to
Philippians 4:6-7
, it is through prayer, asking
God, praising God, thanking God, petitioning God, that
we receive a peace that surpasses the frustrations and
annoyances of daily life. It is this peace through prayer that
will “keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Spiritual Warfare is real. Satan is real. But more importantly, God’s
grace and power are REAL. In order to survive the valleys as well
as the mountaintop experiences we must be equipped for battle
through the Word of God and Prayer. Always remember to have your
belt of truth, your breastplate of righteousness, whatever you need
to proclaim the Gospel of Peace, your shield of faith, the helmet of
salvation and the Sword of the Spirit. Once you are “dressed” for
battle, you must Stand Strong in your conviction in Jesus Christ.
And once you have done all to stand,
KEEP STANDING!!!
