All Fueled Up!
"Praying always with all prayer and supplication
in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all
perseverance and supplication for all the saints."
Ephesians 6: 18
A Tampa doctor was killed in 2019 when his airplane
crashed without warning. Investigators had discovered
an airport worker pumped the wrong fuel in the
engine.
The aircraft lost power shortly after takeoff and crashed
into a soybean field.
To keep our spiritual lives soaring, we also require the right
fuel. The fuel for the Christian life, according to Ephesians
6:18, is prayer. Prayer is the energy that makes it possible
for Christian warriors to wear the armor of God and wield
the sword of the Spirit.
Prayer is the combustion that adds power to our lives
and strength to our souls. Prayer is the propellant that
reaches heaven and returns with blessings.
In the midst of battle, we need our spiritual armor,
and we can only be well-clad with the armor of the
believer when we are fueled up with the power of
prayer.
Spend a
little extra time today with the Lord,
and enjoy the habit of “praying always with
all prayer and supplication.”
"Prayer will consume sin—
or sin will choke prayer."
J. C. Ryle
