I Got Your Back – I Got Your 6

Cyberwarfare is similar to prayer in that both are involved in warfare, both take place in an unseen realm, and both have human agents. In cyberwarfare the opposing agents are human. In spiritual warfare the antagonists are not human, but we, through our prayers, are the human agents of spiritual warfare.

The war is not coming. THE WAR IS ON!

You are under attack. You brothers and sisters in Christ are under attack. The entire human race – including your closest loved ones and the strangers you will never meet – is under attack. That’s why Paul did not ask the church at Thessalonica to pray for him – he commanded the church to pray for him. In the midst of the battle, Paul said, “Cover me.” The church had a choice. They could lay down covering fire in the form of their prayers or they could let him go it alone.

Today Christians around the world are yelling, “Cover Me!’ Family members, friends, neighbors, missionaries, pastors, and hurting souls everywhere are yelling, “Cover Me!” We are faced with the same choice. Are we going to lay down the covering fire of prayer or do these people have to go it alone? The war is on and when someone yells, “Cover Me” I pray that we will respond with a loud and solid “I got your back.”
