Why Should We Pray?

Why Should We Pray for Persecuted Christians If God Already Knows Everything?

This is a very important question, and many believers silently wonder the same. The Bible gives several powerful reasons why prayer is still necessary—even though God already knows every persecution, every suffering, and every secret tear.

1. Because Prayer Is God’s Chosen Method to Release Help on Earth

God is all-knowing, all-powerful—but He works on earth through the prayers of His people.

  • God knows Israel’s suffering in Egypt, yet He waited until they cried out (Exodus 2:23–25).
  • Jesus said, “Ask, and you shall receive” (Matthew 7:7).

God’s knowledge does not replace our prayer;
God’s will is activated through our prayer.

This is a spiritual law He Himself established.

2. Prayer Creates a Legal Platform for God to Intervene

The earth was given to humanity (Psalm 115:16).
This means:

  • Humans have authority on earth.
  • Prayer is inviting God into earthly situations.

When the church prays, we open the door for divine intervention—angelic help, protection, deliverance, and strength.

3. Prayer Strengthens the Persecuted with Supernatural Power

Even Paul, the mighty apostle, asked believers to pray for him during persecution:

“Pray that I may be delivered from wicked men.”
— Romans 15:31

“Pray for us… that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men.”
— 2 Thessalonians 3:1–2

If Paul needed prayer, then persecuted believers today also need spiritual support.

Your prayer releases:

  • boldness
  • comfort
  • angelic assistance
  • supernatural endurance
  • divine escape
  • miracles of protection

4. Prayer Unites the Body of Christ

When one part suffers, all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26).

When you pray for persecuted Christians:

  • You carry their burden.
  • You join spiritually with them.
  • You strengthen the global Body of Christ.

You show God that your heart beats with His.

5. Prayer Changes You as Well

When you pray for the persecuted:

  • Your love deepens.
  • Your compassion increases.
  • Your spiritual maturity grows.
  • Your passion for souls becomes stronger.

Prayer does not only change situations—it changes the pray-er.

6. God Commands Us to Pray

We pray for them not only out of compassion,
but because God commanded it.

Hebrews 13:3 says:

“Remember those in prison as if you were in prison with them.”

It is a divine instruction.

7. Prayer Is Partnership With God

God wants sons and daughters who work with Him, not passive spectators.

When you pray, God says:

“You and I will do this together.”

This partnership is the greatest honor given to believers.

In Simple Words

Even though God knows everything,
He acts on earth through the prayers, faith, and authority of His children.

Your prayer becomes:

  • a shield
  • a weapon
  • a lifeline
  • a door for miracles

for those suffering persecution.

Becoming A Divine Vessel

🔥 RULING OVER YOUR EMOTIONS The Dominion of the Spirit Over the Soul Text: Proverbs 16:32; Galatians 5:22–25; Romans 8:6 🕊️ 1. Understanding the Structure of Man “May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless…” — 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Man is a tripartite being: Spirit — the God-conscious part (where the Holy Spirit dwells). Soul — the self-conscious part (mind, will, emotions). Body — the world-conscious part (through the five senses- sight, hearing, smell, taste and feeling). 👉 The soul is the battleground where the spirit and the flesh wrestle for control. Emotions belong to the soul, but they must be governed by the spirit. 🔥 2. The Power and Purpose of Emotions Emotions are spiritual energies that color your thoughts and actions. They can: Empower you to express God’s heart (love, compassion, joy). Or open doors to darkness (anger, jealousy, fear). Emotions were cr...

The Lost Children and the Father's Love

The Lost Children and the Father’s Love The Lost Children and the Father’s Love How we were deceived, how we are tormented, and how Jesus sets us free. 1) Created for Sonship In the beginning, God created man and woman in His image. We were made for relationship, joy, and honor as children of God —to walk with Him in the beauty of Eden. “God created man in His own image.” — Genesis 1:27 2) The Serpent’s Deception in Eden Lucifer , once an angel of light, rebelled against God and became Satan—the adversary. Entering Eden as a serpent, he lied to Eve, pointing to the forbidden fruit and promising a false path to wisdom and power. The Result: Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Sin entered the world, and humanity was separated from the Father. Our pure identity and authority as God’s children were wounded. “In the day you eat of...
