What you believe about prayer directly impacts whether or not you will continue praying when the stress of life increases. Some people cease praying because they feel disappointed in the results. Others stop praying because they don't believe they have the right words. Let's debunk nine prayer myths and replace them with truth!

Propaganda is defined as a systematic, deliberate dissemination of information, ideas, biased arguments or lies designed to influence and direct one's behavior toward a specific agenda.

Not every thought originates with you. Our minds are often planted with thoughts which originate from Hell. It's a demonic propaganda to get you off track, cause you to believe a lie, and give into Satan's strategy for your life. You can overcome, though! Learn how to fight the spiritual battle in your mind.

When we speak, power is released! Whether it's a complaint, encouragement, a negative self attack, a scripture, a blessing or a curse, every word is powerful. How can we use our words to bring life and resist the urge to speak words which bring death?

The same God who walked in the fiery furnace and shut the mouths of lions also gives us specific details regarding "the final countdown" to the end of this age. This is a reminder that God holds the future in His hands, and He will deliver us. He also knows exactly where you are and what you are facing today. He is a very present help in times of trouble.

When the law of the land made it illegal to pray to God, there was one man who continued praying, as was his custom. Even when Daniel was cast into the Den of Lions for execution, he was supernaturally protected. How can we grow as prayer warriors, being confident that God will protect, provide and watch over us?

Pride is so sneaky! It's stealthy. If we are not aware, it will creep in and bring destruction to our lives. How can we defend against pride, and what should we be aware of in our own lives to push back on pride? In Daniel 5, we read the story of a king who refused to learn from the past, and who loses his kingdom due to him not recognizing how pride had consumed him. Discover how the mysterious handwriting on the wall (Mene, Mene, Tekel, Peres) is a warning to all of us today.

It's very easy for all of us to drift from what God has called us to. It can happen in a marriage, a family, a church or a nation. Rediscovering and clinging to our roots and our foundation will give us great hope for the days ahead. The early church was defined as having One Heart, Great Power and Abundant Grace. What defines you? What defines our church? How can we get ourselves back on course?

How can we escape the monotonous treadmill of our culture, promoting everything as being fun, fast and easy, yet leaving us feeling shallow? Let's grow roots and produce better fruit in our lives. God is calling us to "DIG IN" and utilize our talents, giftings, interests and personalities to fulfill The Great Commission!

We don't see it with our eyes, and often don't sense it, but in there are angels and demons fighting for control of our lives as well as the nations of this earth. We see this in Daniel 10. But what does it mean for us? How should a believer participate in spiritual warfare?
