Ephesians 6;18 (AMP)
“With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [a]God’s people.’’

DAILY READING – Romans 5; 1 Samuel 14; Psalm 59.

It was 2:30am when Chuck and Shelley Janssen received an emergency call from the state highway patrol telling them their son, Paul had been in a serious accident.
They rushed to the hospital immediately, but couldn’t see Paul because the medical team were still working on him. While waiting, Chuck Janssen opened his Bible seeking a Word from the Lord.
The Scripture that particularly seemed to resonate in him at that time was Psalm 40. Soon after reading the Psalm, the highway patrol officer came in and told them what happened. He said Paul’s car had gone off the road into a wooded area, where he had fallen out of the car and then collapsed face down into a ditch. Nearby residents who heard the accident had immediately called 911.
As Chuck listened to the officer, he realized what happened to Paul was almost a reflection of what he had just read in Psalm 40 which said “I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”
Chuck felt that God had indeed pulled Paul out of the slimy pit and out of the mud and mire! At that point, Chuck felt confident that whatever the medical verdict might turn out to be, God was fully in control.
When Paul’s parents finally spoke to the doctor in charge, he had some grave news. He said Paul had suffered severe lung injury and also had brain damage and was in a coma.
The doctors were extremely worried whether or not Paul would survive. But Chuck and Shelley refused to believe the worst, rather choosing to trust in God’s Word.
Later that afternoon they were urgently called to Paul’s room where the doctor told them that Paul’s system was crashing and he was about to die.
But Paul’s parents refused the negative verdict and simply told the doctor they were going to pray. They walked over to Paul’s bed and prayed and sang praises and proclaimed the Word of the Lord over Paul and just put his life in God’s hands.
Miraculously Paul did not die that day but survived. From that day forward his parents read Psalm 40 over him every day without fail. They believed it was the Word of God for him.
Two weeks later, to the amazement of his doctors, Paul’s condition began to improve miraculously. Before long, he had fully recovered and resumed his work as videographer and editor for the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). His restoration has been an amazing testimony that prayer works.

Although the emergency call came at 2:30am, Paul’s parents overcame the enemy’s attempt to steal their son”s life because of their spiritual alertness.
Each of us must live spiritually alert so as to overcome anytime we are confronted.
This is important because often times the battles of life come suddenly, without time for preparation. But when you live battle ready you can always be sure of victory.
Life is a warfare and not a fanfare; it is a battle ground and not a playground.
When we watch and pray the enemy will be unable to catch us unprepared.
Each of us, at some point, will face trying circumstances. We can never hope to become champions without overcoming challenges. Neither can we hope to become warriors without winning wars.
The more spiritually active we are the more victorious we will be in life, that is why the devil tries to hinder believers from maintaining a consistent spiritual life.
But whether it is convenient or not, spiritual preparation is our key to survival and victory In life.
The security of our destiny depends on the extent of our spiritual alertness.
When we maintain a spiritually fervent lifestyle, God’s Word will give us needed guidance and faith to win during trials.
God has called each of us to a life of spiritual fervency at all times.
Ephesians 6:18 says, “Pray at all times—on every occasion, in every season—in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty” (Amplified Bible).
That is how we live ready. .
As we fast and pray in this season,let us ensure that the fire ignited on our prayer Altar never burns low or goes out. Rather let our fire keep burning stronger, so that we can always be spiritually prepared to overcome life’s confrontations.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always maintain a lifestyle of spiritual fervency, help me to live ready, may my fire never go down or go out, and may I always be prepared to triumph always in Jesus Name. . .
