Foursquare President Randy Remington encourages us to pray with "structure, commitment and accountability."

Spirit-filled prayer is the engine that powers the church and its mission. It is the key that unlocks the power of God. Consider this exhortation from the apostle Paul:

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people" (Eph. 6:18, NIV).

Paul offers practical guidance for Spirit-filled prayer:

  • Pray in the Spirit. God's Spirit is an active participant in prayer.
  • Do it on all occasions. There is always time to pray.
  • Include all kinds of prayer. Employ intercession, petitions, praises, confession and the use of Scripture.
  • Remain alert and consistent, focusing your prayers on God's people.

I believe with all my heart that if we devote ourselves to Spirit-filled prayer, we will see God move in mighty ways.

The kind of prayer Paul commands in Ephesians 6:18 requires structure, commitment and accountability. Let's embrace that together. Let's intentionally give ourselves to Spirit-filled prayer that we might also "be strong in the Lord and in His might power" (Eph. 6:10).

I am grateful to be praying with you!
