Our Footsteps: Prayer Warrior

Prayer Warrior

There's a new prayer warrior in our house. Last night, our two-and-a-half year old little girl prayed for us out loud, for the first time as far as I know, as we said our bedtime prayers together. She thanked God for me. She thanked God for her mommy. She even prayed for 'her future husband'. Out loud. Boldly. Unashamed. Confidently. The enemy is trembling - because victory over him and his corrupting influence is directly connected to communion with God through prayer. I pray that my children learn this truth early in their lives so that they might be spared a life of pain and difficulty.

One of my prayers for my children has always been that they will do great damage to the kingdom of Satan. Our little girl did some damage last night as she 'publically' acknowledged her thankfulness for mom and dad.

"Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving" - Colossians 4:2

I Believe...

1). I believe that there is one God. I believe God consists of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2). I believe that God is holy, righteous, loving, and just.
3). I believe that mankind is separated from God by sin; that sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin.
4). I believe that, because of sin, man is condemned. Because of God’s utter hatred for sin, there is an eternal conscious punishment in hell for all those who do not come to God on His terms, dealing with their sin.
5). I believe that confessing our sins and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord is the only way to properly deal with the sin that has infected everyone. Jesus Christ paid our sin debt on the cross; reconciliation by substitution. There is nothing we can do to add to the finished work of Christ.
6). I believe in the security of the believer, that once he is truly born-again, there is nothing that would cause him to lose his salvation.
7). I believe that upon the death of a true believer in Christ, that he is ushered immediately into the presence of the Lord, where he will live in everlasting joy in Heaven, experiencing eternal fellowship with God.
8). I believe in believer’s baptism by immersion. I don’t believe baptism is necessary for salvation, but it is a beautiful outward profession of an inward possession.
9). I believe in a literal 6-day creation where God created the heavens and the earth and then rested on the seventh day.
10). I believe that the words written in the Bible are truth. I believe that the Bible is inerrant in its parts and in its whole. I believe that the 66 books that make up the canon of scripture make the Bible complete and that God inspired the words written therein. The things that were written down in the Bible are sufficient for every need we have. Not only is God’s Word sufficient, but it is far superior to any other method of handling the problems that man faces, since He has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness.
