How To Start A Fight

Consider this: when we pray, a spiritual battle often takes place. I believe this occurs especially when we pray for the salvation of the lost. Many times the reason God may not immediately answer our prayers is because of behind-the-scenes spiritual warfare.

Take Daniel for instance. He had been praying for weeks with no answer from the Lord (see Daniel 10). Little did Daniel know, God heard his prayers and dispatched an angel with a special answer to his prayers. However, somewhere between heaven and earth, between the visible and the invisible, this angel found himself waged in a battle with another evil angel. After 21 days of spiritual warfare, God sent Michael, the archangel, to save the other angel.

Just as a battle raged over God’s answer to Daniel’s prayers, a spiritual battle often rages due to your prayers. This is why we need to keep praying, even if we go days, weeks, or even months without receiving an answer. (see Luke 11:9)
