Prayer. We all must pray. In the mission field if you don't pray it's like going into battle with no armor. What soldier goes into battle with no armor on? Spiritually we must be equipped and ready to war in the spirit everyday. If you think spiritual warfare is just a walk in the park and is easy, try living in a foreign country for 3 months. Since I've been in Escuinapa for 21 days I have sensed and felt a spiritual heaviness over this city, and everyday that I would shorten my time with the Lord or not pray my entire day would be thrown off. If you don't go out prayed up and continuing to war in the spirit the devil/enemy will pick you off. When I'm walking through the streets of Escuinapa Mexico I pray in my spiritual language under my breath. I am never silently doing anything, I always fill my mind with scripture and I pray in the spirit whenever I am. When I think about people, whether here in Mexico, back home in the U.S., or even abroad in other countries I pray for them. I believe that when a person comes to mind the Holy Spirit drops that name for me to specifically pray for them. Part of the morning prayer needs to be being filled with the Holy Spirit. A fresh daily filling of the Holy Spirit is needed so that when you listen and obey the Spirit will guide you to the specific assignments each day. Prayer is vital. Count your blessings when you pray, be thankful- live a lifestyle of thanksgiving, don't let all your prayers be one way asking God for everything. Lastly when you read the word of God don't just read it, study it and apply it to your life. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
