How the Lord Jesus Taught US To Pray
Invading the Impossible
Lord, teach us to pray.
Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.”
In response, Jesus taught them nothing of mysticism, religious pretense, or meditation. Nothing of bizarre physical contortions or memorized incantations attended by clouds of incense.
But He did teach them something about violence. Jesus was very clear about it: Prayer is a matter of war—prayer is about invasion, assault, and force.
On earth-side, things may seem impenetrable, yet from the heaven-side, activated by prayer, there is a spiritual violence that can invade and overthrow the impossible.
