Spiritual Warfare, Jesus Prayed for Us

In His Model Prayer, Jesus taught us to pray for protection from the evil one. In His High Priestly Prayer, Jesus prayed for us to be protected from the evil one for the purpose of our maintaining unity after the pattern of the Father and the Son. In this High Priestly Prayer Jesus also prayed for spiritual outcomes, as well as for future reality. Today we will examine the spiritual protection and unity aspects of His prayer and use them as a model for our spiritual warfare praying. Each of us are constantly under attack from the evil one. It is time that we realize and acknowledge this and come together and battle these forces of hell. Jesus’ blood was shed for everyone, the testimony of Scripture is true, so for what are we waiting?! I yearn for our church family to be prepared to take on and defeat the enemy. This is the necessary first step for us to make an eternal and temporal impact in our community.
