Romans 8:26 ‘Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

DAILY READING; Matthew 16; Numbers 1-2; Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

More battles have been fought over Jerusalem than any other city on earth. Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt nine times. Throughout these conflicts, one Jewish symbol has always survived: the Western Wall.
The Western Wall, sometimes called the Wailing Wall, is one of the last remaining walls of the Temple Mount, which was the site of the ancient Jewish temples.
After Solomon’s temple was destroyed, King Herod rebuilt the temple and during an expansion of the Second Temple, he built the western wall in 20 BCE as a support wall. Interestingly, after the destruction of the main temple by the Romans in 70AD, the support wall survived.
Being the last remaining wall of their ancient Temple, it became very symbolic to the Jews. With the Roman invasion, the Jews were forced into 1,900 years of exile. Yet, from the various nations where they were scattered, the Jews would travel to Jerusalem at great expense and danger, just to pray at the Wall. In the face of disease, lack of water, and marauding bandits, the Jews continued to take great risks to go and pray at the wall in Jerusalem.
At this last remaining wall of their Temple, they would pour their hearts out to God, expressing their deep longing to return back to Jerusalem. The centuries of endless tears, shed by the Jews in prayers to God, made the ancient wall to become known as the “Wailing Wall”.
God did answer the prayer of the Jews. They returned from their long exile and today they are back in their ancient homeland with Jerusalem fully under their control.
The Western Wall, or “Wailing Wall”, remains the most religious site in the world for the Jewish people. Located in the Old City of Jerusalem, it is the place of pilgrimage and prayers, not only for the Jews but also for people from other nations.
The area around the wall has been cleared to create the Western Wall Plaza where visitors flock to from all over the world. Many have the custom of writing prayers on pieces of paper and placing them inside crevices of the wall.
The Wall is especially sacred to the Jewish people because it is symbolic of who they are. They are survivors Just as the wall has survived the many attacks against Jerusalem, so also has the Jewish people survived many attempts to destroy them and remained indefatigable, because they understand the power in prayer.

The Bible records several instances when the Jews prevailed through prayer. When they cried out to God from bondage in Egypt, God heard their prayers and brought deliverance..
When pursued by Pharaoh, Moses prayed, the Red Sea parted and God made a way for His people through the mighty waters. When Joshua prayed, the sun and the moon stood still for almost 24 hours until Israel won the battle against their enemies.
As the Jews engaged the power of prayer, the enemy’s plots were shattered and Heaven’s plans prevailed in their lives.
Indeed God works wonders through prayers.
No matter how formidable any enemy advancing against you, through the power of prayer you can change the tide of the battle in your favor.
Prayer is the key that unlocks the gates of Heaven and closes the gates of Hell.
Indeed great power is released and mighty miracles are wrought when we exercise the awesome privilege of prayer.

The Amplified Bible translates James 5:16: ‘The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].’

As New Testament believers, God has given us access to tremendous power through praying in the Holy Ghost.
While it is true that we are living in perilous times of great spiritual conflicts, it is also the time of the greatest release of Power to believers through the Holy Ghost.
When we pray in the Spirit, we speak mysteries as the Holy Ghost helps us to pray God’s perfect will and get speedy answers from Heaven.

Romans 8:26 says ‘Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.’

The more we pray in the Holy Ghost, the more our enemies are confounded.
As we pray, we become too spiritually hot for any devil to handle.
The baptism of The Holy Spirit is the baptism of fire.Through engaging the mystery of the Holy Ghost, we devastate principalities and powers and triumph over them.
It doesn’t matter the worsening situations in the world today, God has given us access to supernatural victory through the Holy Ghost.
The more we pray, the more we will prevail over our enemies and our paths will keep shinning brighter and brighter until the perfect day..

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for granting me continual victory over the attacks of the enemy. As I engage the power of the Spirit through prayer, surely, I will keep mounting up to greater heights of exploits in Jesus Name.
