Why a Prayer Shield...?

Do you like war movies? I do – love 'em ! When I watch them, I get LOTS of symbolism out of them. Whenever the good guys were taking more ground, or higher ground, always you'd hear one of them (usually the leader, who was coming out into the open) say, “ Cover me”... Even the world knows that when your 'out there' taking territory – you need someone to cover your back ! That's a Prayer Shield! Stacey Elderidge says, “ We weren't born into Eden....we have been born into a world at War. “ The reality is, you have an enemy and the enemy hates you – you know why? You are doing what he gave up – relationship with the Father, being in His presence, knowing His voice, loving, serving and worshiping the king. You are now doing what he used to..and he is working 24/7 to find ways to shut you up, discourage you, and stop your purpose. Not to scare you..but we have to be realistic.

New Years Resolutions Ok so I'm not the biggest fan of 'new year resolutions'. They tend to be mostly about losing weight, joining a gym.. having more consistent devotions or keeping your house clean.

It was meaningful, encouraging and inspiring. And you know what? It was totally dependent on 'us' merging our 'yes' with the heart of God for us to be healed from wounds encountered through doing life with other wounded people! It was dependent

For Leaders wanting a Prayer Shield...

When a leader decides to step out and ask for Prayer it's like 'drawing a line in the sand' and saying ' That's enough!' When a leader asks for prayer, it can also be a humbling experience because it's often hard for many of us to ask for the very thing we need. There is always the lie of the enemy too, that says , ' Who am I, to be asking for a prayer shield? I'm not important. ' Well, if you are influencing for the Kingdom of God, if you are doing what God's asked of you, and taking ground for the Kingdom - who are you not to ask for prayer coverage ?!! Ask yourself who has benefited for hundreds of years, by convincing leaders ( whether in the church field or the business community), that they are 'not important enough' to be calling for prayer coverage? We all know the answer - the enemy! The time has come to realise that asking for prayer, is actually two fold: 1. it's an act of humilty ( because it is humbling isn'
