The Prayer Mantle


            [18] If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear
            me :
            [19] But verily God hath heard me ; he hath attended to
            the voice of my prayer.
            [20] Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my
            prayer, nor his mercy from me.


             SCRIPTURE IN FOCUS    Matthew 26:41KJV
            [41] Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
            the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.


             SCRIPTURE EXPOSITION
            Jesus admonished His disciples to pray so that they do not
            enter into temptation. The more you pray, the more your
            spirit is strengthen and the more you gain mastery over
            your flesh. When Jesus was teaching His disciples how to
            pray, He said to them, "when you are praying say ... lead
            us not into temptation but deliver us from evil” - Matthew
            6:13. It is very imperative to understand that if Jesus told
            his disciples to pray against falling into temptation,then
            you  also  need  to  do  the  same.  When  you  become
            spiritually strong and you are able to stand temptation
            there is a crown you receive from God.  James 1:12 says
            “Blessed is the man that endures temptations: for when
            he is tried, he shall receive a crown of life, which   the
            Lord has promised them that love him”.

            [1] In the name of Jesus, I declare I shall not fall for the
               desires of this world. I am delivered from anything that
