PRAYER: THE POWERFUL WEAPON YOU NEGLECT.

How many times have you prayed today?
If the answer is none, don't scroll past this video. Listen to the end because your spiritual life needs it.
Why is it so important to take a moment to pray?
Because prayer is your direct line to God. It is through prayer that you talk to Him, explain your situation to Him, present your needs to Him, ask for His favor, or simply thank Him for everything He does in your life. And you should know this: a grateful heart attracts even more blessings. Prayer is like a spiritual telephone line. When your phone is turned off, you can neither call nor be called. In the same way, when you don't pray, you cut off communication with your Heavenly Father.
Look in the Bible:
Daniel prayed three times a day.
Moses prayed before every mission God gave him. David prayed so much that he wrote more than 73 psalms. Jesus, the Son of God himself, always prayed, even at night.
Do you think you are greater than them?
Do you think you have gone through more trials than them? Of course not. And how did they overcome all these difficulties?
Through prayer. Yes, through prayer!
Many have failed where they should have succeeded simply because they did not pray like Daniel. Prayer is the gateway to miracles. If you want to experience miracles in your life, then you must be a man or woman of prayer.
Now let me reveal a truth that many people don't know: When you don't pray, someone else prays for you instead. And that person may not be your friend.
When you sleep without praying, there is someone somewhere, in a forest, in a hidden place, saying your name, not to bless you but to destroy you. They are invoking curses on your life. When you don't pray, there is someone putting your belongings in a jar, in a canary, and asking that everything you touch be destroyed.
When you don't pray, others pay sorcerers, diviners, and charlatans to send spiritual attacks against you.
And guess what? They win.
Because their prayers and evil words have been cast against you, and yours have never come to stop them.
There was no opposition, no barrier, no protection. No prayer to say, “Not on me! Not in my house! Not in my life!” They launched their armies of destruction through their rituals, and you didn't call on your heavenly army to counterattack.
Then, a few days later, your affairs fall apart, your health declines, your blessings are blocked. And you cry out, “Lord, where are you?” And God answers you, “I was there, but you never called me.” For God always respects your choice. If you decide to rely on your own strength, He lets you do so. If you don't open the door, He doesn't force His way in. If you don't ask for His help, He doesn't impose anything, because He is the one who established the law of free will and He cannot violate it.
You know you're not the only one who wants this job. You submit your application, then sit back and leave your fate to chance. Meanwhile, the pagan candidate has already consulted the occult, made his nocturnal sacrifices, and performed his rituals before the spirits. After all that, do you think it's fair, in the spiritual world, that you should be chosen simply because you bear the title of Christian? God was waiting for your prayer to defend you, but you said nothing and did not consult Him. So a few days later, guess who gets chosen?
You know that your illness is not natural.
You went to the hospital, and the tests showed nothing. Instead of praying, you run to occultists, the very ones who were paid to harm you. Thus, through your lack of faith, you have dug your own grave.
You have been trying to have a child for years. You cannot get pregnant, or every pregnancy ends in failure. Anne did not look for “two solutions.” She went to cry before God, in the temple, in prayer. And you know what happened next: God answered her prayers. She had Samuel and then five other children, three sons and two daughters, the very woman who was mocked for being barren, who was humiliated every day, who was believed to have been forgotten by God... but whom the Lord visited and lifted up just because one day she got up and said enough was enough and poured out her heart in prayer.
So when you encounter problems, be wise. Immediately engage in spiritual communication through prayer. Don't be like that foolish person who sees a fire in their house, has the number for the fire department, but decides to fight the fire alone. Cry out to God, ask for help, and you will see how He will rescue you. Commit your fate to Him, and He will act. Don't forget the words of Jesus: “Ask, and it will be given to you; knock, and it will be opened to you.” If you don't ask, you will receive nothing. If you don't knock, no door will open. And the only way to ask is through prayer.
Prayer is your defense.
It is your shield.
It is your weapon.
It is your cover.
Prayer cancels the enemy's plans.
Prayer restores what is broken.
Prayer opens doors that no one can close.
Prayer puts you back under the protection of the Most High.
So, starting today, take your prayer life seriously.
Talk to your heavenly Father.
Open your mouth.
Proclaim.
Declare.
Protect your life, protect your home, protect your future.
Because if you don't pray, someone else will do it for you, and you will be the only one to suffer the consequences.
If you feel that your prayer life has grown cold, if you feel that the line to your Heavenly Father has been cut off, then don't walk away now. What is blocking your prayer is not always visible, and very often, spiritually, something is preventing the connection. But the good news is that you can reopen it right now. Take a few seconds. Right where you are. Open your heart. Say this short prayer with us until the end and start today to take back control of your prayer life. Let us pray now.
My Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a sincere heart to ask for Your forgiveness. Yes, Father, forgive me for not cherishing this undeserved grace: the precious privilege of being able to communicate with You. You have given me this privilege, but too often I have not used it. Today, I acknowledge my weakness and ask You to restore me.
From now on, I commit to talking to You every day, every time, in every circumstance, through prayer. But I know that I cannot do this on my own. That is why I ask You, Father, to give me the help and power of Your Holy Spirit. For Jesus said, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
So, Lord, strengthen me. Give me the will, the deep desire, and the discipline to come and talk to You without ceasing. Remove from me every distraction, every obstacle, every weakness, every trap of the enemy who would prevent me from praying. Grant me a heart turned toward You, a mouth that seeks You, a spirit that desires You, and a life anchored in prayer. Thank You, Father, because I know that You hear me. Thank You for Your love, Your patience, and Your faithfulness toward me.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
Thank you for following this prayer for divine protection to the end.
