ISN'T PRAYER OVER-HYPED?

I MEAN IF PRAYER IS THAT IMPORTANT, WHY ISN'T IT CAPTURED IN THE SUBLIME ARMORY DESCRIPTION OF AP PAUL, EPH 6?

Or did you see prayer being depicted by any of the armor pieces? Ofcourse, you can check it out– the helmet, shield,sword, etc, Ephesians 6:13-17– not one pointed to prayer. That's the accurate dressing of a Roman soldier those days; so formidable and revered they were. If prayer is that important(especially in our day your hear of "warfare prayers") why isn't it captured in this dressing?

Please don't question me, it is the Bible you should question.🤷‍♂️

Well it continues, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.."– Eph 6:18.

Oh alas, thesame chapter mentioned prayer? Ok but not as one of the armor. So it's a bit important but not heavily important, isn't it?

Shall we also reason that perhaps, prayer is too important that ascribing any armor to it will not fully represent it's essence?🤔

UMHH

Ok, if you look at that scripture(Eph 6:18) closely and connect with it's meaning, you may understand why God didn't allow the writer of Ephesians to select any armor and liken it to prayer.

I put it to you therefore: Prayer is the life-blood of the soldier. Just examine the language , "Praying ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER.."

Infact another version reads, "In the same way, prayer is essential in the ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long..."- Eph 6:18

Sir you need a proper prayer life. Mrs, how is your prayer life? It is not going well and you are not doing anything about it?

It is your most important weapon! Without it no other weapon or armor will work. Afterall it's only the living that can be kitted up.

Prayer indeed is the life-blood of the soldier, the unseen weapon that powers the seen ones.

Therefore IT IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE.
Get it right.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY

Yes prayer is very important in our day to day life because we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:2)

Jesus also teaches his disciples how to pray (Matthew 6:9-13)

Thank you for throwing more light into this topic as it sharpens our spiritual life as believers.

I like the way one of my friend puts it after reading this post—

"When you buy a mobile phone, you do need a manual to know how the gadget works including the importance of Charging the phone before usage...

Prayer is the technology for powering the man or soldier that puts on the armour(1 thess. 5:16-18)

And giving the man light to use the armour to full capacity else you may think the armor is not working and you'd faint (Luke 18:1-8)

Prayer in itself is a whole series sir.
Thanks for sharing..."

This is the generation that seeks your face, oh God of Jacob.

Thanks for coming over sis, my pleasure to share.

Shalom
