The Warrior Wrestles in Prayer

Epaphras, not a particularly well known Biblical character, but God knows him well. He was a prayer warrior, a prayer wrestler, an interceder who stood in the gap, and witnessed God's miracles unfold in the lives of others. We all need an Epaphras in our court, and better still, maybe you should be one like him.

June's Message, Day 28:

Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. Colossians 4:12 NIV

Don't you wish you had an Epaphras always wrestling and interceding in prayer for you? So that day in and day out you would be empowered to stand firm in God's will, to be spiritually mature, and fully assured of all God's provision and promises? We all need an Epaphras on our team, in our prayer circle, one who willingly stands in the gap for the well-being of others. Better still, maybe you are an Epaphras, or maybe you should be? Maybe God has put that calling on your life, to be the prayer warrior who never backs down, knows that God answers prayer, and one who has the faith to move mountains. There is nothing more gratifying than to see prayer answered in powerful ways. It doesn't take eloquence, it just takes a willing heart to pray and ask for God's hand to move on the behalf of others. Be a prayer warrior, be a prayer wrestler, be an Epaphras and witness the miracles of God firsthand. What a blessing that truly is.
