Prayer is the power that releases heaven on earth. Paul finishes the spiritual warfare armor in Ephesians 6 with "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" Having been clothed with our spiritual warfare armor, Paul now says its all tied together with prayer. As believers we often don't realize the power we have in prayer. Prayer moves mountains, shifts kingdoms, and calls down the presence of God. Reese Howell's little school of prayer in England during WWII is now recognized as the power that won the war. They would literally pray and 3 days later read the many answers to pray on the battlefield. Prayer for those in authority releases peace in nations that allows the gospel to go forth. Daniel prayed and God sent an angel with the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Pray can also release the secrets of the kingdom to those who are tuned in to the voice of God. Listening is definitely a part of prayer. Prayer could well be the most powerful part of our spiritual warfare.
