JESUS CHRIST, OUR CHIEF WARRIOR PRAYER
The promises of God and the forces of darkness defined the battle of the prayer warrior. A prayer warrior prays with the precision of the Word of God leading by the Holy Spirit. This is an office occupied by the Master Himself. No one can take over the Office of Prayer from Him, Jesus Christ. He lives to make intercession for us continually. This is a no joke office that is why many preachers cannot handle it. Because it demands a higher calling, discipleship, discipline, dedication, and determination to hold this office with the help of the Holy Spirit.If you are a genuine prayer warrior count yourself blessed because you are a co-laborer with Christ the Master intercessor.
