Persevering in Prayer: Spiritual Strength and Breakthroughs Inspired by Ephesians 6:18-20

Good morning, good evening, depending on where you are watching us from.

I just want to celebrate you and to thank you for tuning in to watch us this happy new week.

The theme for this year just a a reminder is the year of the lord uplifted, open door, and I hope that you are catching up with our services and you're catching up with what god is doing in this season.

This month of september has just been an amazing month and as we come to the last week of this month, I just want to remind us of our theme, which is Open Door Advancements, uplifted Kingdom, warfare.

As I'm looking at this last week, I want to read a scripture which is in Ephesians 6, 18-20.

It says and pray in the Spirit on all locations, with all kinds of prayers and requests.

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all of the Lord's people.

Pray also for me.

This is Paul speaking that whenever I speak, what may be given me so that I will?

I want to start with the first verse, 618, which says Pray in the spirits on all occasions, in the spirits on all locations.

This last week of the month, I want to encourage you to push.

Push in your prayer.

Push in your expectation, keep pushing, do all kinds of prayer, because we say that this is a month of birthing.

Many women take 39 weeks, some 38, 36 weeks, and their baby is there.

And as women, we can relate with this theme for this month Because, being a month of birthing, that last week, that last day, that last hour, one of the things you'll be expected to do is to have that expectation and strength to push when you are in that table and you want to deliver.

I am telling you the kind of prayers you can pray.

This verse comes to life.

You will begin to pray all kinds of prayer.

You will shout Jesus, you will cry, you will.

Of course, by then, I believe that people are praying and fasting for you, but I can just imagine you will speak in tongues, you will.

You will be listening to the doctor's instruction that time by the way, you're very keen listening to doctor's instructions so that you can push correctly at the right time and finally, the baby will be here.

So this last week is our week of pushing.

Do whatever you need to do to receive your miracle.

Maybe there is a list you had that you had written the prayer points that you want to do to receive your miracle.

Maybe there is a list you had that you had written the prayer points that you want to do this week.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, make a demand.

This is the week you love yourself and you can shout a shout of victory, a war cry.

This week you can go and do your hallelujahs, all kinds of prayer.

You can make declarations.

This week is not our week.

The Bible, even here, says we pass up vitriol.

Not giving up, not giving up, pushing, not giving up.

Maybe you are giving up.

You are saying that all time is gone, the month is ending and I have not seen anything.

The Bible is admonishing us that we can't give up.

We can't give up.

This is the week if you need to do a keshia, if you need to wake up in the night.

The watches make a demand.

Don't give up.

Don't give up.

Don't give up Push.

Sing hymns, spiritual songs, pray in the Spirit when you pray in the Spirit.

Praying in the Spirit is allowing the Holy Spirit to pray through you so that you can pray prayers according to the will of God, according to the mind of God.

You may need to change strategy.

If you've been praying a praying, you need to pray.

Ask the Lord, lord, how do I pray on this issue so that I can get answers?

And finally, don't forget to pray for the gospel, for the spread of the gospel, the preaching of the gospel and for those who preach the gospel, your pastors.

You are evangelists, because Paul here says pray for me so that I will be given words to make the mystery of the gospel known.

Sometimes Paul is saying here that, even though he's in prison, the gospel is not in chains.

It doesn't matter the circumstance and what you are going through, the gospel is not in chains.

It doesn't matter the circumstances and what you are going through, the gospel is not in chains.

It must be declared fearlessly.

So pray that this last week of September, our loved ones, whom we've been praying for, will make the decision to receive Jesus.

And as we do this thing, we bring our thanksgiving to God.

Because when we are holding the baby in our hands, when we are holding the baby in our hands, when we are holding our answers in our hands, I am telling you there is nobody, there is nothing that can prevent us from making a shout of thanksgiving, singing a new song and celebration.

So God bless you as you push pray until something happens this last week of September.

God bless you.

You are blessed in Jesus' name, amen.
