Sara Jukes brings a message on standing in prayer and fasting. Ephesians 6 instructs us to take up the armour of God and stand firm and to spend time with God, even during challenging times or when we feel unmotivated. Much like in sport, we need to use the right ball for the right sport, we also need to use the right prayer for the right occasion. Firstly, we must turn our eyes towards Jesus in meditation and reflection. When we take time to reflect with God, it allows for growth and intimacy with Him. Secondly, we must focus our prayers by being specific and being thankful for what He has provided. Prayer makes God bigger than our circumstances. Thirdly, we should pray God’s word and remind God of what His word says and speak it over your life. Fourthly, we must be persistent with prayer, keep on believing and continue to talk to God, even when fear grips us. Lastly, God instructs us to pray for others and to stand in the gap when others cannot pray. Prayer is the 7th piece of armour of God and He wants us to stand against evil with prayer and fasting . Fasting deals with the difficult challenges in our lives that we could not otherwise be able to overcome.
