In his wisdom, God has ordained one, primary offensive weapon that overthrows the kingdom of darkness: prayer. Jesus said to Peter, “Satan has demanded to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you “(Luke 22:31-32). Could it be that we and are loved ones are losing spiritual battles because we’re not really fighting those battles through prayer, as Jesus wants us to? The next two episodes study what Jesus specifically told us are The Six Basic Parts of Prayer.
In Matt 6:25-33, Jesus says, essentially, “Don’t be preoccupied with these everyday necessities,” says Jesus, “The Father knows you need them.” Instead, BE PREOCCIPIED with something else. “The matter of greatest importance for you,” says our Lord, “your primary concern and top priority is this: SEEKING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” The rest of the podcast tries to bring this nebulous, vague concept into sharper focus.

This is the second half of the blog article by this title.
