(II Samuel 1:18a).<br /><br />In II Samuel 1, David was lamenting the death of Saul and Jonathan. The men of Benjamin were known as expert archers. He wanted the men of Judah to learn this skill as well.<br /><br />The weaponS of our warfare are not carnal. There is more than one weapon. The Word of God is a mighty Sword, like none other (Ps. 119:92). It is a hand to hand, face to face, word to word weapon. We have also been issued another weapon...<br /><br />Prayer is a long distance weapon. It can hit a target far away. Remember, Saul was hit and wounded of the archers who stood afar off. <br /><br />Often when people pray, we BOW the head, or BOW the knee. I bend the BOW and shoot out "Prayerrows" and can hit my target, across the globe, or across the room.<br /><br />3 things to check as you pray:<br />1. Pray with faith - Jam. 1:6<br />2. Pray with forgiveness - Mt. 6:15, Ps. 66:18<br />3. Pray with fervency - Jam. 5:16<br /><br />Like as an archer becomes more proficient in his aim, and strengthens his arms by much practice, so the more we use this weapon, the more effectual prayer warriors we can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066715597684300316.post-35647148560727435272009-04-07T13:47:00.000-07:002009-04-07T13:47:00.000-07:00Love you!!!!Love you!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677932569463436710noreply@blogger.com
