Nonetheless exhaustive, these prayers for missionaries are intended to help get you started in prayer.
And as you continue to pray and yield to the Spirit, He will take you on to realms of glory where you will be overcome with the spirit of prayer, causing you to make real supplications and intercessions for all saints – missionaries. (See Ephesians 6:18, KJV)
May the Lord bring you to that place in prayer through the discipline of the Spirit, in Jesus’ name!
Now, to help you get to that place in good time, we would ask that you learn the secret and power of praying in the spirit and in tongues.
That’s a most assured way to easily flow with the Spirit in prayer and then get caught eventually in glory making intercessions in the power of the Spirit.
That’s also the most guaranteed way to pray the very mind and will of God for the occasion in prayers, and also one way to pray effectively, exhaustively and satisfactorily and well. (See Romans 8:26-27, NIV)
What could be better than the satisfaction of having prayed the mind and the will of God well and exhaustively in prayers, and all of the time at that?
Praying in the spirit and in tongues help you get that done.
You don’t want to miss out on that, I know.
God bless you.
