The War of Prayer

This episode is a devotional teaching on prayer as spiritual battle, centered on Acts 2 and Psalm 110:1. J.D. Walt argues that prayer is not mainly about reciting personal requests, but about joining Jesus in his ongoing intercession and participating in his victory over Satan, evil, sin, death, and darkness. He frames prayer as a way of aligning with the mind of Christ, advancing God’s kingdom, and learning to live in abiding communion with Jesus throughout the day rather than only in a prayer closet.

The episode also includes a worship segment with David Walt, who helps unpack the same theme through the hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Together they emphasize that believers are on the winning side because Jesus has already won the war, even though battles remain. The message closes with a strong reminder not to see people as enemies, but to resist the devil with confidence in Christ’s power and kingdom.
