Prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle!

 

Prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle!

— Leonard Ravenhill

We need to stay in constant prayer with God, always, constantly! Pray pray pray, don't stop praying! We are living in a constant battle today. As we all know the devil is the god of Earth now, Satan is lurking, he is always trying to pull us in, to make us his slaves, to sin and sin, hate, and be greedy, corrupt, and do so much evil and wickedness. Yes, life is a battle and we need to stay in constant prayer during this battle. It helps and we cannot stop praying. We see so many people today acting so badly. So aggressive, cutting you off when driving or waiting in a checkout line. We see so many hating on others, judging, and assuming, being critical and joining hate clubs, and if you do not join their club, they cancel and hate you too. Our elected and governments and powers that be are evil and self-serving. They are raping the good people of God, over taxing, hurting people, enslaving God's people while on this Earth School. Yes, it is a battle of evil, the devil is lurking, it is a battle, we need to keep praying, staying in constant prayer. I was telling the priest today that is is sad that even in the church there is so much hate and hypocrisy from the Catholics and Christians and even priests, they judge you, assume about you, hate, and ignore you, mistreat you, and act so poorly toward others, being such hypocrites, so unlike what we learn Jesus is all about. It is so frustrating and the world is so chaotic, the battle on Earth with Satan requires us to stay in constant prayer. Sometimes when you see bad behavior from parishioners and priests it makes you want to stop going to church. All we can do is not worry about what others think. Not join their club, and be more like Jesus, what else can we do, pray to Jesus, ask Him to give us rest for our wary souls in this battle of life with all the slaves for Satan, all the sin, all the excuses for sin, all the hate, and negativity, so many living in misery. We are called to follow Jesus, to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! We are called to be grateful, prayerful, positive, loving, and joyful in the Lord! Yes, prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle!
