Praying for the orphan/fatherless and adoptive/foster care families
Ephesians 6:10-20 - 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ø Do we really realize the spiritual warfare that rages; involving the children of this world?
From Pharaoh to Molech to Herod, and in our time, Satan has waged a war on children. There is a spiritual battle that believers must fight on behalf of the children in our world
Ø Do we really believe Jesus’ Word, when He says (as recorded in Matthew 7:7-8):
7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
PLEASE consider clicking on our PRAYER JOURNAL tab to see what items you could make supplication for on our behalf?
I've come to learn prayer is the most important thing we can do in relation to our orphan ministry. In Matthew 9:38 which you posted we are told to pray that the Lord will send more laborers. Prayer is the key.
