TOPIC: CONTINUAL PRAYER GIVES VICTORY OVER THE ENEMY
TEXT: LUKE 18:2-5
Key verse: “I tell you that He will answer them speedily. Nevertheless when the son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:8).

Here is prayer warfare: prayer against your enemies, against the devil and the forces of darkness contending with you. The power you are contending with may be a strong power. Like this widow, the Bible says the judge was a wicked judge. He did not fear God; neither did he regard man. Who then would move him? Here was this widow, a helpless woman. The widow came to him and said, “My opponent is taking away my property. Please judge the case between me and my opponent and give me back my property.” But this judge was so wicked that he did not respect the widow. He did not pity the widow. But there was one weapon that the widow used, which the Lord revealed to be very powerful and effective against the enemy. That weapon is continual praying, continual calling upon God and continual coming to God in prayer. It is importunity in prayer!

Each time that widow came pleading for justice, there was an impression in that wicked judge. There was a kind of resisting force; an evil attitude from the man against her. Each time that widow came, she stood helpless and weak. But she kept coming all the same. She was not discouraged, but kept coming and this weighed down on the wicked man. Although the man was resisting, his resistance died with time. His resistance faded with time and he had to give up and bow to the pressure. Eventually he said, “I am dying, I had better settle this matter for I am made restless by this weapon of continual coming.” The Lord is saying, no matter how powerful those demonic forces are, keep on praying, keep on calling on the Name of Jesus and keep on reciting the scriptures. Each time you pray, you release a great force and attack against the enemy. Each time you say something, pray or quote God’s promises, sing a song and manifest your faith against the devil, you are releasing a great force against him and he will eventually bow to your superior power. That is the truth: by continual praying you can overcome a strong enemy. Why should you strike once and run? No, keep on bombarding the enemy until he gives way for you!

Thought for the day: Trust Him in prayer. He is an unfailing God.
Song for the day: I have a Father He will never, never fail me
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 19-21; Luke 15:11-32

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
