The more we pray continuously, the more Christ supplies us continuously with His Spirit (Luke 11:13) and the more we pray continuously , the more faith He sees and finds in us continuously and He continuously supplies us with our needs(Luke 18:8), the more we pray continuously, the more power we receive continuously.
The key word here is continual praying which is emphasized in Luke 11:8 as ‘importunity’ and in Luke 18:7 as “cry day and night unto God”. We are admonished in 2 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing”.
The enemy of our soul and destiny accuses the believer before God day and night (Revelation 12:10), and the believer must give our Advocate, Our Lord Jesus Christ our prayers and our claim for justice day and night to win the battle in the Courts of our God. God says to the believer, bring forth your strong reasons in the Court(Isaiah 41:21).
Our spirit man has been reborn and inhabited by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and cannot sin because the seed of God remains there and is sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise.(John 3:5, Ephesians 1:13, 4:24)
Our souls have been purchased but not yet redeemed.Our souls are in sin before God without the atoning Blood of Jesus cleansing us. (Romans 11:32, James 2:10, 4:17), because we are being renewed day by day and being transformed from glory to g;lory into the image of Christ by the Spirit of God. Sometimes our mind, emotions ,will and conscience yield to the flesh and we sin.The scriptures posits that "the end of our faith is the salvation of our souls".(1 Peter 1:9).
We also do well to bring our body under subjection(1 Corinthians 9:27), but occasionally we falter.Apostles Paul admonishes us to gird our mind with diligence.
We therefore must plead the Blood of Jesus in prayers(1 John 1:7, Hebrews 9:22,12:24)continuously or as often as we can and bring our testimonies of the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross before the Judge of the Universe to keep the enemy off our backs and not give him opportunity to steal our faith(Ephesians 4:27, Jeremiah 20:10-11, 1 Peter 5:7-9).
Remember Christ is in you, from whom you expect God's glory or God's miracle working power.(Colossians 1:27) as you pray and worship Him. Shalom.
