the backbone of any Christian is an
0:01
established relationship with God but
0:04
did you know that research shows that
0:06
only 68% of Christians pray daily with
0:09
the remaining 32% reporting that they
0:11
seldom or never pray in this video we
0:15
will find out the real events that take
0:17
place behind the scenes when you fail to
0:20
pray so without further Ado let's dive
0:24
in number one you become vulnerable to
0:28
attacks when one of the greatest
0:30
mistakes that Christians make is
0:32
thinking that a few words of prayers are
0:35
enough to sustain them from the attacks
0:37
of the enemy they pray for a few minutes
0:40
or seconds and then get on with their
0:42
day but that's a big problem statistics
0:45
show that the average Christian prays
0:47
for just 5 minutes a day and young
0:50
people between the ages of 18 and 29
0:53
pray even less than older Generations
0:56
now think about it Satan is over 6,000
0:59
years old
1:00
and it is impossible to use a 5-minute
1:02
prayer to defeat someone with over 6,000
1:05
years of experience you can't be a
1:07
part-time Christian and fight a
1:08
full-time devil that's impossible 99% of
1:13
the attacks you will face are not when
1:14
you expect them they will often be when
1:16
you least expect them if only God could
1:19
open your eyes for you to see into the
1:21
Heavenly realm you would be shocked by
1:24
the number of demons and evil spirits
1:26
that attack you on a daily basis they
1:29
are constantly bombarding you nonstop
1:32
yet so many Christians feel a 5-minute
1:34
prayer is enough to repel such a
1:36
sophisticated network of dark Forces it
1:39
doesn't work that way Jesus himself
1:42
asked his disciples could you not watch
1:44
with me for just one hour he was telling
1:46
them that to get the benefits of prayer
1:49
and to grow as Christians they should be
1:51
able to spend at least an hour a day in
1:53
God's presence you have 24 hours in a
1:56
day so spending one hour with God
1:58
shouldn't be a problem
2:00
but what most people do is just wake up
2:02
in the morning and Rush a quick prayer
2:04
then think they are powerful enough to
2:06
withstand plans the enemy has taken
2:08
years to build up that's impossible
2:10
think about prayers like your phone's
2:12
battery trying to sustain your spiritual
2:15
life on nothing more than brief prayers
2:17
here and there is like trying to charge
2:19
your phone battery for just 5 minutes
2:21
and expecting it to last you for an
2:23
entire day the charge simply won't be
2:26
enough the bigger the battery the longer
2:28
the time it needs to charge
2:30
the same goes for your spiritual life
2:32
the bigger the expectation for your life
2:34
the longer you need to stay in God's
2:36
presence number two you begin to forget
2:40
how God talks another thing that happens
2:42
when you stop praying is that you start
2:44
forgetting what God's voice sounds like
2:47
you will either stop having those
2:49
meaningful Divine dreams and Revelations
2:51
where God reveals things to you or his
2:54
voice will get harder to discern clearly
2:56
and your spiritual sensitivity will be
2:58
diminished but the more you talk with
3:01
God the more familiar you will become
3:04
with his voice sometimes when prayer
3:06
isn't a regular pattern in your life the
3:09
devil could trick you by pretending to
3:11
be God's voice the Bible says in the
3:14
book of 2 Corinthians
3:17
11:14 and no Marvel for Satan himself is
3:20
transformed into an angel of Light he
3:24
can disguise himself as an angel of
3:26
Light in order to deceive people and
3:28
lead them away from God
3:30
and if you're not used to God's voice
3:32
you might instead follow the voice of
3:33
the devil assuming it was God who spoke
3:36
to you Jesus talked about this he said
3:39
my sheep know my voice and will follow
3:41
it so when you make prayer a habit God's
3:44
voice becomes recognizable to you but if
3:47
you're distant from him even the devil's
3:50
voice could sound like God's voice to
3:52
your ears that's why some good
3:54
Christians still get LED astray
3:56
sometimes they hear a voice telling them
3:58
to do something evil and and they assume
4:00
it's God's voice without checking but
4:03
really the devil was the one who spoke
4:05
to them and they acted on it without
4:07
realizing it how many times have you
4:10
heard people say God told them to do
4:12
this or to do that meanwhile it wasn't
4:14
God who spoke to them someone walks up
4:17
to you and says God told him that he
4:19
should get married to you without
4:21
checking with the Holy Spirit you
4:22
immediately get excited and rush into
4:25
the marriage only to later realize that
4:27
the person you married was not sent by
4:29
God he had heard the wrong voice and now
4:32
you are stuck in trouble that is why
4:34
Jesus said in the Book of John
4:36
16:2 he said the time is coming that
4:39
whoever kills you will think he is doing
4:41
God a service that means some people
4:44
will do bad things thinking God asked
4:46
them to the Bible says we should test
4:49
all Spirits number three you will fail
4:52
when you need backup you know this is
4:54
the painful bit most people only seem to
4:57
pray when things are really bad or about
4:59
to go go wrong these are known as
5:01
emergency prayers it is when a person
5:03
goes about their day-to-day life without
5:05
caring then all of a sudden something
5:07
bad happens and they need all the
5:09
prayers in the world just like when
5:11
someone gets a scary letter from their
5:13
boss saying they might lose their job
5:15
then they start praying super hard but
5:18
those emergency prayers don't always
5:20
work like that in the realm of the
5:22
spirit prevention is always better than
5:24
cure yes you cannot always avoid
5:26
spiritual attacks but you can at least
5:28
avoid BEC a victim of sudden surprises
5:31
from the enemy when you take a holiday
5:33
from prayers and the devil strikes
5:36
sometimes even when you recover from the
5:38
spiritual attacks the devil might have
5:40
done so much damage to the point that
5:42
you are barely able to stand up but if
5:45
you have lived daily in prayers you will
5:48
always be prepared for any attack the
5:51
strength of an army is not only in its
5:53
weapons but also in its
5:55
preparedness that's why sometimes people
5:57
go out and don't come back or or fall
5:59
asleep and don't wake up the devil took
6:02
advantage of a weak moment or everything
6:04
is going smoothly and then suddenly one
6:07
problem piles on top of another remember
6:10
job his family was living a normal life
6:13
then suddenly disaster struck back to
6:15
back so if you want to live close to God
6:19
don't wait for emergencies to speak with
6:21
him make prayer a daily habit the more
6:24
you talk to God the stronger you'll be
6:26
against Temptation and the devil's
6:28
schemes don't leave yourself vulnerable
6:30
keep your prayer life consistent that
6:33
way when tough times do come you'll have
6:35
the strength to withstand them through
6:37
God's power he'll give you what you need
6:40
to push through but you've got to talk
6:42
to him daily to build that strength
6:44
number four you will easily fall into
6:48
sin look if we're not talking to God
6:51
regularly it leaves a void that
6:53
something else will fill to put it
6:55
simply if you don't communicate with God
6:58
you will communic Comm unicate with the
7:00
devil think about Adam and Eve in the
7:02
garden as long as they were walking and
7:04
talking to God daily Satan didn't have a
7:07
chance to come in but the moment they
7:09
stopped conversing with their creator
7:11
that's when the devil swooped in to chat
7:13
with Eve he knew just how to twist the
7:16
truth once God was out of the picture
7:19
the passage in Proverbs says it well if
7:21
you faint in the day of adversity your
7:24
strength is small Proverbs
7:27
24:10 when troubles come if we haven't
7:30
built up spiritual stamina through
7:32
prayer it's easy to get overwhelmed and
7:34
give in to temptation but if prayer is
7:37
already a habit then in hard times we'll
7:39
have the strength to resist the devil
7:42
James 4:7 tells us to resist the devil
7:46
and he will flee from us how do we
7:48
resist by being closely connected to God
7:51
on a daily basis through talking and
7:53
listening to him in prayer so bottom
7:56
line if we leave gaps by not
7:59
communicating with our heavenly father
8:01
don't be surprised when someone else
8:03
slithers in to fill the silence keep
8:06
those daily prayer lines open so Satan
8:08
hasn't got a chance to corrupt our minds
8:11
and lead us astray God wants to protect
8:14
us if we let him through prayer number
8:18
five your relationship with God begins
8:21
to die finally when you don't make
8:24
prayer a regular part of your day it's
8:26
easy to start drifting away from God
8:28
without even realizing it the excitement
8:31
and passion you once had just become
8:33
less and less pretty soon God feels more
8:37
like a stranger than a dear friend and
8:40
it happens so gradually that we might
8:42
not notice our Zeal and motivation
8:44
fading away but the reality is that
8:48
every relationship needs quality time
8:50
and communication to thrive if we don't
8:53
take those daily moments to connect with
8:55
God our bond with him will weaken over
8:58
time we'll start to lose our first love
9:01
so don't let your love grow cold keep
9:04
those meaningful prayer times to stay
9:06
intimately tied to God our creator
9:10
nurture that relationship daily so God
9:13
never feels unfamiliar or distant in
9:15
your life so there you have it thank you
