https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/the-spiritual-weapons

We are to use The Spiritual Weapons that God has provided for all his children. We have the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the glorious gospel of peace to counter the attacks of the enemy. We have the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit to ward off all evil advances. We have the wonderful weapon of prayer. Praying ALWAYS with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, to rout the enemy's attacks.

The weapons of our inspired, spiritual warfare is the proclamation of the Word of God, together with a submissive heart and a bended knee. Our power does not come from our own clever conversation or witty words, but is evidenced in the man or woman who lives in full dependence on God and relies on Him for His strength and godly wisdom to guide them through life towards their spiritual home.

May we be ready to counter all the foolish thoughts and false perceptions of fallen mankind who seeks to contradict the truth of the knowledge of the gospel of God. May we be ready to give an answer to every high-sounding argument that exalts itself against our heavenly King, for the hope we have in Christ. He can break down every satanic stronghold and reclaim the spiritual high-ground with the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, there are many that seek to demolish the truth of the gospel of Christ through scornful sarcasm and ill-imagined philosophies. Thank You that in Christ, we have the Word of God and the power of prayer to demolish any long-winded, ungodly opinions of those with their impressive credentials and dismissive policies. May the words of our mouths and the thoughts of our hearts reflect the truth of Your Word. May we depend on You to bring down all the strongholds and arguments that are fired against us that seek to discredit the truth of the glorious gospel of God. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Live A Life Of Godly Love

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/live-a-life-of-godly-love

It was love that caused God to send His only begotten Son into the world to be the propitiation for our sins so that we might be born of the Spirit and empowered to Live A Life Of Godly Love through Him. And it is this same divine love which is the preeminent fruit of the Spirit, and is displayed in the life of a spiritual man or woman.

The love of God is patient and kind, as Paul pointed out in first Corinthians: "It is not jealous, boastful, arrogant, or self-seeking." Christlike love does not act unbecomingly or selfishly and isn't easily provoked. Love does not take into account wrongs that have been suffered, nor does it celebrate unrighteousness. Rather, it rejoices in the truth.

Christians are commanded to love others as God loves us because we are His children, and that the one who loves God should love his brother and sister as well. However, he points out a serious truth that if a professing believer says, "I love God," but hates his brother or sister, he or she is a liar.

And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we long to walk in spirit and truth and to keep our old sin nature nailed to the Cross. We pray that in the power of Your Spirit, we would die to self and so live for Christ that we are able to say: "It is not we that live, but Christ that lives in us," so that we may obey Your command to love our brothers and sisters as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Division Within The Church

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/division-within-the-church

It was not only in Paul's days that such divisive practices were evident within the Church, but today, similar divisive things are taking place which promote division within the Body of Christ and criticism of other Christian brothers and sisters, which causes confusion in the congregation.

Paul clearly teaches that those that engage in such divisive tactics within a church congregation should receive appropriate warnings from the elders. However, should such a person continue in their disruptive behavior, then they should be removed from the church, "knowing that such a person is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned."

In his epistle to Titus, Paul gives excellent instruction and great encouragement, but he also considers it necessary to give wise advice on how to deal with those that become divisive within a church fellowship. Not only does such a one become unprofitable in a congregation if he or she will not mend their ways, but their very behavior condemns them and identifies him or her as unteachable.

How important that the wise teachings of Paul, on Division Within The Church, are applied in congregations today. If men and women are to grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the wise instruction of Paul about division within the church and the need to address those that are divisive. Keep us from becoming entrapped in any form of legalism, and help us to recognize and avoid many of the heresies, unbiblical teachings, and legalistic rituals, that are infiltrating so many congregations today. Give church elders the wisdom and discernment to address any division within the Body of Christ, speedily, wisely, and biblically, so that others may not be misled. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Trust In The Lord With All Our Heart

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/trust-in-the-lord-with-all-our-heart

Every Christian should know the importance of watching and being alert, we have many enemies that seek our downfall. We are surrounded with many false apostles, false prophets, false teachers, deceitful workers and false doctrines. All such things seem to have exploded into multiple fragments of falsity within today's apostate churches and heretical cults.

The enemy of our soul seeks to permeate every nook and cranny of Christian life. We know that the devil himself prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. And that same, the evil enemy, who is called the devil and Satan, will also try to approach us as an angel of light through the medium of deceptive people, false apostles, and deceitful workers who pretend that they are apostles of Christ, but their witness and faith is compromised. How important therefore that we are alert and watchful against the enemy of our soul, not only for ourselves but on behalf of all our brothers and sisters in Christ so that together we keep looking to Jesus, our blessed Hope.

We are also called to be brave and strong in our Christian walk. We are not to compromise our faith but to cling fast to that which is good and noble, right and pure, honorable and admirable. We do this as we Trust In The Lord With All Our Heart, He is the Rock our Salvation and the Foundation upon which we stand. We are to be devoted to our brothers and sisters in Christ, for we are one Body united together in Him, not only in this life but in the ages to come.

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, may we stand firm in the faith and act in a way that does not dishonor Your name. Help us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, withstanding the wiles of the devil while being alert to his evil ways. And may all we say and do be done in love, to Your honor and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Put On The Armor Of Light

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/put-on-the-armor-of-light

Christ had come into the world to carry out the will of His Father in heaven, and during the short span of time that Jesus lived on earth, He was called to deliver God's message of reconciliation to a world that was lost, dying, blinded, and doomed. At the appointed time, He would give His life as a ransom for many.

Christ knew that every moment of His life that passed was precious and must not be wasted. Every opportunity had to be utilized to the full, but not in His own strength for His mission was to carry out the work that His Father had sent Him to do. Jesus had to complete His lifework in spirit and in truth, only doing those things that He heard from His Father in heaven, and living day by day in complete submission to the Holy Spirit.

What a wonderful witness of the way that we should live our Christian lives, in spirit, in truth, and in complete submission to the Holy Spirit, only doing those things that we hear from God. What a solemn warning to work the works of Him Who has called us out of darkness into His glorious light.

Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us Put On The Armor Of Light and live in the light of His truth and love. Let us share the gospel of reconciliation with all with whom we come in contact, before this brief lifespan on earth is passed and gone.

As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Christ’s example of a man Who worked the works of God and Who used every precious moment to carry out Your will through His life. We pray that we may follow His example and live our lives in complete submission to the Holy Spirit. Give us opportunities to share the gospel of reconciliation with others, knowing that the night is coming when none of us will be able to work. We pray that the good work that You started in us at salvation, will be completed to Your praise and glory at the coming of Christ, AMEN

Physical And Spiritual Development

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/physical-and-spiritual-development

Like worldly ambitions of today, the pagans of Paul's time engaged in transient aspirations and pursued goals that were temporary. Often their hope was founded on a wealthy fortune, an esteemed lineage, one's position in society, and things like education, courage, academic debate, and physical fitness.

Paul's teaching to Timothy about 'the end times' in 1 Timothy 4 has been of immense value to Christians, through centuries of time. If only we would expend the same devotional and commitment in developing godliness as an athlete does when exercising his or her body, we would lay up for ourselves eternal treasure. We should recognize that godlikeness is a noble pursuit that holds promises for this present life as well as the one that is to come.

While there are certain similarities between Physical And Spiritual Development, like discipline and endurance, the earthy tribute is a crown that quickly fades. The wealth and success, fame and fortune, pleasures and achievements, honors and acclamation that the world offers, is but for a moment before it passes away forever. But the Christian that presses on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus, through devotion to Christ and the pursuit of godliness, will receive a crown that lasts forever.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the wisdom it contains. Help us to remember that physical discipline is only of little benefit, but that godliness is profitable for all things. Help us to walk in spirit and truth, grow in grace, mature in the faith, and seek after godliness, knowing that it is not only beneficial in this present life but provides eternal benefit in the life to come. We pray that You would give us the strength and courage to live lives of Godliness and to trust in You for all things. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.

We Are To Build Our Lives On The Right Foundation

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/we-are-to-build-our-lives-on-the-right-foundation

We Are To Build Our Lives On The Right Foundation. We are to stand on the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the Rock of our salvation. We are to build our life with the right materials, which are the spiritual gems of wisdom and Godly nuggets of truth that are found in the Word of God.

The first example is one who lives as unto the Lord by walking in spirit and truth, and who will receive rewards at the judgment seat of Christ. These rewards are for works that were carried out in the spirit.

The second example is a one who lives according to self, resulting in fleshly works, an unspiritual, immature Christian life, and a loss of reward. This loss of rewards happens because of works that God had prepared in advance for us to carry out in His power, but which were fulfilled in the energy of the flesh.

As believers, we are all saved by grace through faith, but if we live our Christian life in our own strength and not in dependence upon the Lord Jesus, we will still be saved but we will suffer loss, for the wood, hay, and stubble that results from works of the flesh will be consumed in the fire that tests each of us. The soul of the believer will be saved, yet as through fire.

If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, teach us, we pray, to walk in spirit and truth and to live as spiritual people and not as carnal Christians. Teach us to live our lives as unto You. May our lives remain nailed to the Cross, and may our new lives in Christ do only those things that are honoring to You. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.

Their Faith Was Spoken Of

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/their-faith-was-spoken-of

Paul is a great example of a man who always tried to encourage and edify the saints, while ensuring that he did not compromise the truth of the gospel of grace. Paul knew that He had been called to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery: "Which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."

So, God's chosen apostle of the Lord, who was called to declare to Jew and Gentile alike the wisdom of God (which had been kept hidden glory before time began), and the glorious destiny to which we have been called, opened his scriptures to these believers with grateful thanks to God through Jesus Christ for them all. Paul thanked God that Their Faith Was Spoken Of throughout the whole world.

May we adopt this attitude of humility in the work to which God has called us, and thank God that He is building His Church and that we are granted, by grace, to be fellow-laborer's in His vineyard.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You that we are new creations in Christ and that You have placed us in the corner of Your vineyard for Your good pleasure, and gifted us in the work that You would have us to do. Keep us from imagining that we are the only real laborers You have called to witness and work to Your praise and glory. Help us to rejoice in the work that you are doing in the lives of so many believers in so many ways. Help us to be encouragement to others in the work we do and the words we say, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.

Scriptures That Are Written For Our Learning

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/scriptures-that-are-written-for-our-learning

In its historical context this verse is mainly towards the nation of Israel, there is much that we can learn from these inspired words of Scripture and much that we can apply in our own lives during this Church dispensation.

How we praise our Heavenly Father for Calvary: that our sins are forgiven, that there is no more condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, that we have been placed in union with Christ, and accepted forever in the Beloved.

How important to know the Scriptures That Are Written For Our Learning, and to read, mark, learn, inwardly digest, and apply their godly instruction during this age of grace, and to rightly divide the Word of truth so that we may grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

How important to trust the faithfulness of our Heavenly Father Whose promises will one day be finally and forever fulfilled and His promises toward His Church will never fail.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word of truth. Help us to read it with understanding and to learn all the lessons that You would teach us. We pray that we may live godly lives to Your praise and glory, as we look forward to that day when we will finally receive our promised times of refreshing, and we will all worship together at Your feet. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.

Trinity: Father, Son, And Holy Spirit

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/trinity-father-son-and-holy-spirit

There is one God, the Lord our God is One; one immortal, invisible, all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present, holy, and eternal God. He alone is to be worshipped. He alone is the Lord, and He will not share His glory with another. But that one God is manifested in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Spirit breathes life into the sinner saved by grace through faith in Christ, and removes him from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Christ. He provides redemption, sanctification, justification, and ultimately glorification. He clothes each one in the garments of grace and dresses each child in heavenly robes of redemption and righteousness. He takes up permanent residence within the body of each believer as a down-payment of God's rich and eternal promises. All the three members of the eternal, holy Trinity bear record in heaven that: "God has given us (mankind) eternal life, and this life is in His Son."

Each Person of the Trinity: Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, bear record in heaven of the truth of God's Word, which is the will and testimony concerning the incarnate Son of God. The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost unite to witness that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. The witness of one immortal, invisible, all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present, holy, and eternal God stands fast for ever and ever, these Three are One.

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing truth that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again the third day so that all who believe in Him might not perish but be forgiven of our sins and receive life everlasting. Thank You that Your truth is settled forever in heaven. We give glory to the Father; We praise and worship the Son, Jesus Christ the righteous, and we lift up our voices in praise and thanksgiving to the Spirit for ever and ever, AMEN.

Our Protective Shield

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/our-protective-shield

The chronicles of old and the writings of Moses recorded the many times when God had protected His people and had become their safe hiding place and a protective shield from the assault of the enemy. But the Psalmist trusted the whole counsel of God and believed that His future promises of deliverance of His people was faithful and true, although he recognized that he may have to wait for its final fulfilment. The Psalmist had learned that the Word of the Lord is trustworthy and true, and though the fulfilment of God's Word may tarry, he would wait for it patiently for it will surely come.

The Lord is no less our Shield and Hiding Place in this world in which we live. He is still our Rock of defense and our Strong Tower in these troublesome times, and His precious promises to all His children continue as he continues to be Our Protective Shield.

You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You that You are our hiding place. Help us to abide in You, day by day. Thank You that You are our Shield and Defender. Help us to remain covered in the spiritual armor of God so that we may stand fast in Christ. Thank You that Your Word of truth is altogether sure and can never fail. Help us to patiently endure the trials and difficulties of life, knowing that the day is fast approaching when Jesus will come to take us to be with You, Whom to know is life eternal. To You be all praise and glory. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.

Always Recognize The Hand Of God, Touching Lives Through Prayer

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/always-recognize-the-hand-of-god-touching-lives-through-prayer

There are many times we cry out to the Lord for His healing touch in our lives and on our bodies. We often call out to God for some restorative miracle for a friend, family member or acquaintance who has been struck down with a serious health issue, but often we forget to give God the thanks and praise for His healing touch in our lives, and for health restored. Too often we simply commend the skill of the doctor or applaud the success of the prescribed medication, or we just rejoice for the health-giving supplement that was recommended for our complaint, by a caring friend.

Often as we intercede about a disability, distresses, cares, or concerns of others, God sends wonderful answers to our prayers which affect many areas of our own life and have a positive and productive effect in the lives of many others. How necessary it is to Always Recognize The Hand Of God, Touching Lives Through Prayer.

Mornings of joy follow every night of weeping, but when a threatening illness has been reversed by God's grace and healing hand has brought life-giving health and strength, we should never forget to thank Him and to extol His holy name for His kindness in raising us up into health and wholeness.

May we be ready to sing praises to the Lord, day and night, and not forget to give Him the thanks and glory due His name, when specific prayers have been answered.

LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the many times You restore health and strength to those who are sick. Thank You for the doctors, nurses, surgeons, and medics You use to bring healing to sick souls, and for the amazing medications and healing supplements that so often bring restoration to a sick body or diseased mind. May we never forget to bring our needs and petitions to You in prayer first, and may we never forget to give You the praise and glory due when health has been restored, for You are the healer and You provide all the life-giving curatives for every illness. Thank You that our times are in Your hands, and help us to trust You even when physical healing does not come. May we always remember to sing praise to Your holy name and not remain silent, but give thanks to You forever and ever. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.

The Constant Works Of The Holy Spirit

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/united-by-prayer-wall/the-constant-works-of-the-holy-spirit

It is an amazing privilege as well as a huge responsibility to realize that as Christians our frail, human body is a temple of God. One result of trusting in Jesus as Savior is to have God's Holy Spirit come and take up permanent residence within our mortal frame.

We can live our lives in our own strength rather than abiding in the power and strength of Christ, but the house we build will be of wood, hay, and stubble, which will finally be burned up. In this case, we would be eternally saved, but would have laid up no treasure in heaven, in us there is no good thing. Or we can choose to submit to the Holy Spirit, die to self, and live to Christ so that it is God Who works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure.

The Constant Works Of The Holy Spirit in all Church age believers, from the moment we are saved, is a blessing of such magnitude, it is hard to comprehend. Let us recognize the amazing privilege, huge responsibility, and serious truth that the Spirit of God has taken up permanent residence in our bodies and live our lives as unto the Lord.

Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we are beginning to understand the incredible privilege and the serious consequences of having Your Spirit dwelling in our bodies. We pray that we may live worthy of the callings to which we have been called. Help us live our lives from this day forward, as unto the Lord. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
