There was a little city with few men in it; and
a great king came against it, besieged it, and
built great snares around it. Now there was
found in it a poor wise man, and he by his
wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one
remembered that same poor man. Eccl.9:14-
15

The highest, most important ministry of the
church today is being filled by NAMELESS
people.
Face it, our small cities (churches) have
become besieged by the enemy and the
greatest snare youll ever have to navigate
around is found right inside the church.

We need wise men and women inside the
church to deliver this city.
What is a wise man or woman?
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of
Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise
man Mt 7:24

It is not enough to KNOW about prayerit issomething that must be DONE!
It is a weapon of mass destruction that must
be USED! For though we walk in the flesh, we do not
war according to the flesh. For the weapons
of our warfare are not carnal but mighty inGod for pulling down strongholds, 2 Cor.10:4

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord
and in the power of His might. Put on the
whole armor of God, that you may be able to
stand praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to
this end with all perseverance and
supplication for all the saints Ep.6:10-18

Our greatest weapon is prayer.
Note Paul said there were many KINDS of
prayer and supplication. We dont need MORE
information about prayer. We are already the
most OVER-informed and ILL-equipped
generation the church has ever seen. WE
SIMPLY NEED TO DO IT!

When the Church is in the condition of prayer
Gods cause always flourishes and His kingdom
on earth always triumphs. When the Church
fails to pray, Gods cause decays and evil of
every kind prevails. In other words, God works
through the prayers of His people, and when
they fail Him at this point, decline anddeadness ensue EM Bounds

The early church saw this need early.
but we will give ourselves continually to
prayer and to the ministry of the word.
Then the word of God spread, and the
number of the disciples multiplied greatly in
Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests
were obedient to the faith. Acts 6

This is the most difficult discipline to maintain.
So many distractions, so many attacks to move
the church from prayer.
Whatever you do apart from prayer is apart
from God. Jesus said to WATCH and PRAY that
you do not enter temptation.. What is the
temptation? That you will do something apartfrom prayer!

Now about that time Herod the king
stretched out his hand to harass some from
the church. Then he killed James the brother
of John with the sword. And because he saw
that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further
to seize Peter also Acts 12:1-3

Peter was therefore kept in prison, but
constant[earnest] prayer was offered to God
for him by the church.
But the word of God grew and multiplied.

You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
As He also says in anotherplace:
You are a priest foreverAccording to the order of Melchizedek;
who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered
up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries
and tears to Him who was able to save Him fromdeath, and was heard because of His godly fear,
Heb.5:5-7

If Jesus needed to pray AND His prayers were offered
up in impassioned cries and in the tears of
brokenesshow much more do we need to pray?
Thus says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and hisMaker: Ask Me of things to come concerning My
sons; And concerning the work of My hands, you
command Me.
Isa.45:11
