2 FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURE Mark 14:38 Watch And Pray, Lest You Enter Into Temptation. The Spirit Indeed Is Willing, But The Flesh Is Weak. Temptation: (Experience Of Evil Endeavors, Enticements, Discipline, Provocations, Solicitations)

4 SATAN DESIRES TO DISPEL THE NECESSITY OF A DILIGENT AND VIGILANT PRAYER LIFE He Strives To Rid Our Mind Of The Thought Or The Idea That We Are To Show Persistent And Hard-Working Effort In Our Prayer Life. He s Eager To Chase Away, Drive Out, And Put To Flight The Need To Be Watchful And Alert, And To Guard Against Danger, Difficulties, Or Errors In Our Prayer Life.

5 THE DEVIL TRIES TO DISPLACE AND DISCOURAGE USING HIS DIALOGUE AND DEEDS The Devil Is Deliberate In His Dialogue And Deeds. He Lies On Purpose And With A Purpose He Deceives On Purpose And With A Purpose His Premeditated Goal Is The Kill, Steal And Destroy. The Devil Uses Dis Tactics He Uses Dishonesty (Solicitations) Misleading Statements To Trick A Person Into Adopting, Or Developing Bad And Incorrect Prayer Habits. He Uses Distortions (Enticements) Alters Or Changes How Prayer Is Seen Or Viewed (Entices)

6 Satan Will Attempt To Impede Your Prayer Activity With God But He Will Not Intercept Your Prayer s Arrival Unto God Isaiah 65:24 Amplified Bible It Shall Also Come To Pass That Before They Call, I Will Answer; And While They Are Still Speaking, I Will Hear. Matthew 7:7-8 Amplified Bible Ask And Keep On Asking And It Will Be Given To You; Seek And Keep On Seeking And You Will Find; Knock And Keep On Knocking And The Door Will Be Opened To You. 8 For Everyone Who Keeps On Asking Receives, And He Who Keeps On Seeking Finds, And To Him Who Keeps On Knocking, It Will Be Opened.

10 Remember And Meditate On These Prayer Life Displacement And Discouragement Defense Scriptures Luke 18:1 - Then He [Jesus] Spoke A Parable To Them, That Men Always Ought To Pray And Not Faint (Lose Heart, And Give Up). Romans 8:26-27 (New Life Version) In The Same Way, The Holy Spirit Helps Us Where We Are Weak. We Do Not Know How To Pray Or What We Should Pray For, But The Holy Spirit Prays To God For Us With Sounds That Cannot Be Put Into Words. 27 God Knows The Hearts Of Men. He Knows What The Holy Spirit Is Thinking. The Holy Spirit Prays For Those Who Belong To Christ The Way God Wants Him To Pray. Revelation 8:4 (Amplified Bible) And The Smoke And Fragrant Aroma Of The Incense, With The Prayers Of The Saints (God s People), Ascended Before God From The Angel s Hand.

11 Be Willing Not Weakened When It Comes To Your Prayer Life Position. Be Stationed In The Ready Spirit Not Saddled By And With The Weak Flesh. Know That Satan Make Attempts To Interject Himself Into Our Prayer Life Through His Infiltration, Interference, Interruption, Or Invasion But He Cannot And Will Not Impede Or Intercept The Ascension Of The Believer s Righteous And Sincere Prayers Unto God. Receive and Rejoice In God s Guarantee That He Anticipates Our Prayer Before We Ask And He Answers Our Prayer Before We Say Amen.
