Battlefield Communication
...Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly....
Ephesians 6:18-19

Ephesians 6:18-24 ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%206:18-24&version=NKJV )
In Ephesians 6:18-19, we have one of history's first missionary prayer requests. The apostle Paul, having written about the armor of the believer and the urgency of prayer, asked the Ephesians to pray that God would give him the ability to share the Gospel boldly at every opportunity.
Notice the alls in this passage. We're to pray always--at all times. We're to offer all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. We're to pray with all perseverance. And we're to remember all the saints.
In his book on prayer, Samuel D. Gordon wrote that this world is God's prodigal son, and that God has devised a plan for winning His prodigal back. He wants to use us in the process; and our greatest agency is prayer, which, Gordon says, is communication between God and His allies in the enemy's country. We're behind enemy lines, but prayer is our connection with the Commander.
Let's take prayer seriously and always offer all prayer in the Spirit with all perseverance for all the saints.
Communion is the basis of all prayer. It is the essential breath of the true Christian life.
S. D. Gordon
