5 Reasons We Need Intercessory Prayer More Than Ever

Our younger generations are faced with sexual indoctrination in school and their peer groups. Drugs have always been a concern with kids, but today, Satan is using the lure of experimenting with alternate sexual lifestyles and dissatisfaction with the way God made them. Sadly, the culture is endorsing this and even trying to legalize the mutilation and sterilization of young children. Probably every family today, even Bible-believing Christian families, is experiencing this perversion within their family. God knew this would happen, and He talked about how it angered Him in Romans 1:18-32. Those who are introducing this evil to children will pay the price if not on earth, surely on judgment day (Matt. 18:6). In the meantime, when we hear about a child or adult affected by this perverted cult, they need intercessory prayer.

Maybe sin is in your family, church, neighborhood, or someone you see in the news. Pray for them by name and ask God to break the strongholds and release their minds and bodies from the trap Satan has put before them. It’s like an epidemic today. Could it be because we’re busy denouncing it more than we’re interceding for these boys and girls, men and women, to experience the chains breaking and the freedom of Christ flooding their souls? You may never know how your prayers are being answered, but the person you’re praying for will know someone’s praying.

Many detransitioning stories are coming out now from young people; however, in most cases, their precious bodies and fertility are damaged for life. They’re giving their testimonies to help educate others, and I can only imagine that someone has been faithfully praying for their breakthrough.

Though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have the divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
