Parade ground Christians are powerless posers dressed for the show, but they deliver no blows.
The armor of God is designed for a formidable, fighting army. Without the power of prayer, prayerless people are simply empty suits filling pews. They schedule more meetings, when they should be marching to war.
Where there is no prayer, there is no power. The enemy knows this. Satan fears a praying pastor and a praying people. Why? Praying people invite Jesus to take the field. He is The Champion.
"Note carefully, the Christian soldier's armor will avail him nothing, unless prayer be added. This is the pivot, the connecting link of the armor of God. It is all important, and absolutely essential to victory. The Christian soldier must needs be, always fighting. He should of sheer necessity, be always praying."
E.M.Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer
TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
