Ephesians 6:18 — What role does prayer play in spiritual warfare? In this conclusion of his sermons on spiritual depression, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones declares the prominent role prayer must have in a Christian’s life. He expounds upon the words of the apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:18, who told the church in Ephesus to pray at all times with all prayer and supplication. Dr. Lloyd-Jones tells us why we pray and to whom we pray. He asserts that prayer is a test for all that we claim to believe. The high road of prayer is self-examination—that we would discover how weak and ignorant we are so as to drive us to God. Prayer is vital, essential, and necessary because we have a capable enemy in the devil; thus we continually need the armor and power of God to do battle. We see in the example of Jesus and the many saints that have come before us that prayer is the supreme achievement of the soul. Do you feel spiritually dull and sleepy in your Christian walk? Turn to the Lord in prayer! Dr. Lloyd-Jones says, “keep your armor bright!” Prayer leads to knowledge of God, which leads to love of God, which defeats the enemy. Will you attack your enemy and pray?
