| Praying in These Last Days
The Right Word^© - Oct 27, 2024
with Brother Scott : scott@portervillepost.com

I have become increasingly aware of something over the last several years, which is something needful for you as a Christian to know and do also. Too few believers today do not pray (or pray enough), and that will prove to be the undoing of their physical health, and unfortunately for some the undoing of their faith in God during the times ahead of us.

Personal fellowship with God is a huge part of coming to trust what His Word promises and to have confidence in God to do what He says He will do. With that being said, the main point of what I will be sharing with you today puts an even finer point on the critical need for your prayers unto God, and that is this:

We are in the last days before Jesus returns, and soon we will also be inside the time of the Great Tribulation (not believing that doesn’t change the truth of that statement)—it will be 3½ years of hell on earth brought on by the Devil through the rule of antichrist.

From now forward and until Jesus comes for us or you or I go home to Heaven before that time, we have very specific and unique needs to be asking Heaven to supply us with that are directly related to these last days of the human and supernatural rulers over this planet.

If you do not receive what I will be talking about and pray including these issues, you and or your loved ones will likely die before your appointed time according to God’s plan. I am not exaggerating one bit!

~ What Are The “Specific and Unique Conditions” ~
What are the “specific and unique conditions” that we live under now as well as other conditions that will come upon us that must be added to our daily prayer roster?
• Persecution for our faith—pray asking God to prepare you for this.
• Protection from evil people and also spiritual beings (Eph. 6:10-18)
• An ever-alertness to the voice of the Holy Spirit Who gives warning.
• The negative effects on our bodies from the poisons of chem-trails.
• Man-made sicknesses and diseases, especially self-replicating ones.
• Increased solar radiation from the sun and nuclear radiation from wars.
• The affects of harmful frequency broadcasts and microwave weapons.
• Military and law enforcement powers by antichrist agents.
• Spies from the sky, roads, neighbors, voice and electronic surveillance.
• Betrayal by those that know us or find out about us as God’s people.
• Protection from earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and meteor strikes.
• Needed provisions of water, food, health/healing, rest, and protection.
• To send us those that have the skills and experience to help us (food prep, medical, security, construction, animal care, gardening, etc.).

† Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. . . 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved [because of the things listed minutes ago and others]: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [And for those that do not act, we are told this:]

† Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. . .

I have shared with you in the past that God does more for us when we have prayed—because we pray.
We are taught by Jesus to pray that God will send laborers into the fields.
† Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
Jesus taught us to pray as a defense and help against temptation (to sin or give up on God).
† Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
The Lord instructs us to fast and pray when dealing with the demonized.
† Mark 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
James tells us to pray when we are afflicted or sick.

† James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted (hardships, trouble)? let him pray. . . 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up. . . 16 . . . The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth (can do, prevails) much.

Think about these verses; if we do not pray asking for laborers, fewer will be saved.
If we do not pray regarding our hardships and trouble (for ourselves or on behalf of others), we get little or no relief and we or they could falter in saving faith.

“IF WE DO NOT PRAY”
If we do not pray for ourselves or for others under severe temptations, the flesh will lead astray and earn the wages of sin. When dealing with especially strong demons without prayer with fasting, the needy will not be delivered and we will ask, “Lord, why could not we cast him out?”
If we do not pray for the sick, many will not rise up from the sick bed when they otherwise could have; hence, my statement proves true: “God does more when we pray than He does if we do not.” Not praying has the consequences of less divine action, and in times where ungodly men and the antichrist are in complete power, we must pray with specifics about the conditions we face in these times and coming Great Tribulation!

( In 2022 I Took You Through a Series on Psalm 91 )
In 2022 I took you through a series on Psalm 91 and made the point of emphasizing that that Psalm is now best understood for we that live in these last days. Psalm 91 will become one of the best-known and prayed passages of the entire Holy Bible as it becomes relevant to what we are facing each day, even from this day forward. It speaks of terrors, pestilence and plagues, destruction, natural and supernatural enemies, supernatural help, and even help against personal injuries. And after all these things, it then concludes with this:

† Psalm 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me [prayer], and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation (H: yeshua).

( That Psalm Will Become an Essential Element )
That psalm will become an essential element of our physical and spiritual patience in the days to come. But there is another passage of the Scriptures spoken by Jesus that will carry a lot of weight for believers in the time before His literal return. It is a passage that many people know and quote in times of fear and physical danger but it will become more than just a few quoted verses from memory that comforts the weak—each aspect of it will serve as the bullet points of serious prayer before our God and Savior. What is this passage? It is commonly called the Lord’s Prayer but is actually the Lord’s model for effective prayer for the people of God:

† Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

( The Purpose of Today’s Discussion )
Again, the purpose of today’s discussion is to alert you to the spiritual facts that we have specific and unique things that have arisen against us in our day and age that must be handled by prayer. Yes, we can do what we can do (and should) by making physical preparations involving water and “beans, band-aids, and bullets” but there is also the more critical action needed, which is the proactive, bended-knee, spiritual work of prayer for our safety, deliverance, provisions, and the saving of souls by our daily petitions and imprecatory praying. God will do much more on our behalf when we walk in His ways and we make our petitions before Him in humility and by unflinching faith.

† Mark 10:26 [In a conversation involving men counting on their own resources to save them:] And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

( And Stated Again Differently )
And stated again differently, I can’t do much (or nothing) to protect myself and those that live here from airborne diseases, from poisons falling from the sky, from deadly solar or nuclear radiation, or from the 5G and soon 6G frequencies from hurting or killing us except through prayer and faith in God.
We cannot effectively defend against large gangs or a trained army crashing through our gates or fences, we cannot know who in times of great need is friend or foe, who would befriend us only to betray us, and we may not physically see our enemies or quickly perceive such attacks by demons or fallen angels but we do have victory over them through Jesus Christ and a strong prayer discipline—[which are] meetings with our God to ask for what we need that only He can provide, which in most cases will be things impossible for us to undertake but never impossible for our Mighty God.
I hope that you hear me on this: We must now take notice of the several things that are coming against our health, our physical lives, and our souls, and be able to acknowledge that God can shield and protect and deliver us from them. His power to do these things and more are proven by the testimony of His written Word and of those that have come before us over the years. His power and promises are available to us by our strong faith in Him when by faith we ask Him to act on our behalf—or we will likely suffer the effects of what men and devils throw at us, if we do not.

† Psalm 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

† Matthew 21:20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

† Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant (persevere, constantly diligent, attend to assiduously [great effort and focused attention]) in prayer...

† Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always (at all times) to pray, and not to faint; [parable of the unjust judge…] 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

( I SAY AGAIN )
I say again, God does more when we pray than when we do not and we are now in a period of time where the end of all flesh is the goal of the enemy of God, Lucifer ha Satan. You and I are here on the earth today “for such a time as this”. Not unlike Queen Esther had to do, we must risk everything and by our faith take a stand against the evil that is rising against our lives and all humanity, and that is best done by faith-filled and often prayer throughout these last days. Pray against these things and for the supernatural protection of God—and He-will-not fail us!

† Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
