Wrestling in Prayer # 2
July 28, 2022
Epaphras wrested in prayer for the believers in Colossae. Why? Because they had challenges in family issues. False teachers were drawing them away from the teachings Paul brought of Jesus. Who was Epaphras wrestling? Ephesians 6:12 tells us. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Our opponent is none other than the evil one himself. We know how this will end. The evil one will lose. In God’s power we will prevail.
An all time great wrestler stated that while workouts, and diet matter, important preparation is mental toughness. Vital to mental toughness in prayer is the sure knowledge that God is more powerful than any opponent we face.
