Priorities

Too busy for Prayer?

A Call to True Devotion

Beloved, your time reveals your heart. You say Yeshua is first in your life, that you love Him with all your heart, and that you live for His will. Yet when prayer meetings are called, where are you? You say, “I’m too busy.” But the truth is, you are never too busy—you are simply prioritizing something else.

True Devotion Means Making Space for God

Like fasting, prayer meetings should be at inconvenient times to show the Lord they are a true priority. If prayer is only squeezed in when it’s easy, is it truly a sacrifice? Charles Spurgeon once said, “Do not say you have a strong desire for prayer if you will not make time for it.” The presence of God is not found in convenience but in pursuit.

Samuel told Saul,

“Behold, to obey is better than a sacrifice, and to pay attention is better than the fat of rams.”
— 1 Samuel 15:22 (NASB)

You cannot replace obedience with convenience. Do not tell yourself, “I’ll just give more in the offering,” or “I’ll pray extra tomorrow.” God does not want scraps of your schedule. He wants your heart.

Corporate Prayer is Where Revival Begins

The early church did not fit prayer into their busy schedules. They devoted themselves to it.

“All these were continually devoting themselves with one mind to prayer.”
— Acts 1:14 (NASB)

Do you long for revival? Do you want to see Heaven invade Earth? It will not happen without prayer. Leonard Ravenhill wrote, “No man is greater than his prayer life. The church is powerless because prayer is optional.” But to those who seek Him in prayer—He comes.

Have You Grown Cold?

When was the last time you prayed with someone outside your home? When did you last gather with your church to seek His face? Or has prayer become a ritual you perform on Sundays? True prayer is not a duty—it is a cry from the heart.

Yeshua warns,

“Remember from where you have fallen, and repent.”
— Revelation 2:5 (NASB)

If you have grown distant, return. The Lord is waiting for you at the altar.

Will You Answer the Call?

Beloved, will you make space for Him—even when it’s inconvenient? Or will you let another excuse keep you away? The ones who seek Him will find Him. Come to prayer. Seek His face. Let your priorities align with His, and watch what He does.

The Prayer of Agreement: The Power of United Faith

The Power of United Prayer

There is a power in united prayer that cannot be achieved alone. In a world that celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, God calls His people to unity. When believers come together in a prayer of agreement, agreeing in faith, they activate the authority of Heaven.

Yeshua declared this promise:

“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” (Matthew 18:19-20, NASB)

This is the mystery of the prayer of agreement—when hearts are united in faith, God’s presence is manifest, and His power is released. Are you praying alone, or are you joining with others to agree in faith?

The Threefold Cord: A Picture of United Faith

In ancient Israel, a threefold cord was a symbol of strength and unity. A single strand is easily broken, but when three strands are woven together, they become unbreakable.

  • Moses, Aaron, and Hur stood together on the hill, ensuring victory for Israel (Exodus 17:12).
  • Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood united in faith, and the Fourth Man appeared in the fire (Daniel 3:25).
  • Peter, James, and John witnessed the Transfiguration together, strengthening their faith for the road ahead (Matthew 17:1-2).
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12, NASB)

The prayer of agreement is a threefold cord—believers united in faith, binding together in prayer, and the presence of Yeshua joining them in their midst. It is a unity that cannot be broken, a strength that cannot be overcome.

Why the Prayer of Agreement is So Powerful

1. Agreement Activates Divine Authority

When believers agree in faith, they are not just adding their voices—they are multiplying their authority. The prayer of agreement establishes God’s will on earth as it is in Heaven.

“Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 18:18, NASB)

2. Agreement Invokes the Manifest Presence of Yeshua

Yeshua promises to be present where two or three gather in His name. This is not just a symbolic presence—it is a manifest presence that brings peace, power, and victory.

“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”(Matthew 18:20, NASB)

3. Agreement Breaks Through Opposition and Strongholds

When believers stand united, the gates of hell cannot prevail. There is a supernatural breakthrough that comes from the unity of faith. Strongholds are shattered, darkness is pushed back, and the kingdom of God advances.

“One man of you puts to flight a thousand, for the Lord your God is He who fights for you, just as He promised you.” (Joshua 23:10, NASB)

How to Pray in Agreement with Others

  • Seek unity in the Spirit. Agreement is not about matching words but uniting hearts.
  • Pray God’s promises. Declare His Word with one voice, standing on His covenant.
  • Be specific. The power of agreement is magnified when believers focus on a common need or breakthrough.
  • Stand firm in faith. Do not doubt or waver. Trust that God honors united faith.
  • Worship together. Agreement in worship establishes God’s throne in the midst of His people.

A Call to Pray Together in Faith

Are you standing alone in prayer? The enemy wants to isolate you, but God calls you to unity. There is a strength in agreement that breaks chains, opens prison doors, and releases the authority of Heaven.

Will you join in prayer with others? Will you be a part of the threefold cord that cannot be broken? Agree in faith, stand together, and see Yeshua move in your midst.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for the power of united faith. Teach me to stand in agreement with others, to pray with one heart and one voice. Break every chain, defeat every stronghold, and release Your power as we stand together in Your name. Let Your presence be manifest in our midst, and let Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. In the mighty name of Yeshua, Amen.

Spiritual Warfare: Praying Under the Covering of God’s Presence

Introduction: Victory Comes Through Prayer

The battle is not won by strength alone—it is won in the place of prayer. Many fight their struggles in the natural, never realizing that the true war is happening in the spiritual realm. You are not just facing circumstances—you are standing against spiritual forces that seek to destroy faith, families, and futures. Praying under the covering of God’s presence is essential for overcoming these challenges.

When Israel fought against Amalek, Joshua led the army on the battlefield, but the true victory was secured on the hilltop where Moses lifted his hands in prayer:

“But Moses’ hands were heavy. So they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. So his hands were steady until the sun set.” (Exodus 17:12, NASB)

The battle was not decided by swords but by the endurance of intercession. When Moses lifted his hands, Israel prevailed. When he grew weary, the enemy advanced. This is a picture of spiritual warfare—prayer is not secondary to the fight; prayer IS the fight.

The Covering of God’s Presence: The Banner Over the Battle

After the victory, Moses built an altar and named it YHWH-Nissi, “The Lord is My Banner” (Exodus 17:15). A banner in battle represents the covering, the identity, and the rallying point for warriors. When you pray, you are declaring that the Lord is your covering—the One who fights for you.

Spiritual warfare is not about shouting at the enemy—it is about remaining under God’s banner, staying in His presence, and trusting in His power.

Why Prayer is Your Greatest Weapon in Spiritual Warfare

1. Prayer Establishes God’s Authority Over the Battle

The enemy thrives in places where he is unchallenged. But when you pray, you establish God’s dominion. You declare, “This home, this family, this church belongs to YHWH, and no darkness can stand here.”

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.” (2 Corinthians 10:4, NASB)

2. Prayer Keeps You Covered in God’s Presence

The enemy cannot prevail where God’s presence dwells. When you stay in prayer, you stay under His covering. The safest place in battle is not the strongest position—it is the closest place to God.

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain in the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1, NASB)

3. Prayer Strengthens You When You Grow Weary

Just as Aaron and Hur lifted Moses’ hands, we are called to stand together in prayer. Spiritual warfare is not fought alone. When you feel weak, find others to intercede with you. Corporate prayer strengthens the weary and shifts the battle.

“Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, NASB)

How to Pray Under the Covering of God’s Presence

  • Acknowledge YHWH-Nissi, Your Banner. Start by declaring that the Lord is your covering and victory.
  • Pray with Authority. Do not beg the enemy to leave—declare God’s Word over your battle.
  • Stay in the Secret Place. Spiritual battles are won in intimacy with God, not just in outward warfare.
  • Surround Yourself with Prayer Warriors. Like Moses had Aaron and Hur, who is lifting your hands in prayer?

A Call to Fight in the Spirit

You are in a battle, but you are not alone. The victory is not won through striving—it is won through remaining under the covering of God’s presence. Will you stay positioned in prayer? Will you lift your hands until the battle is won?

The Lord is your banner, your defender, your victory. Stand firm, stay covered, and pray without ceasing.

Prayer

Father, I stand under Your banner, YHWH-Nissi, my covering and my victory. Teach me to fight not in my own strength, but in the power of prayer. Let me remain in Your presence, where no enemy can prevail. Strengthen me when I grow weary, surround me with prayer warriors, and remind me that the battle is Yours. I declare that every attack of the enemy is broken, and Your kingdom advances in my life. In the mighty name of Yeshua, Amen.
