“When it comes to battling things in the spiritual realm, we have two weapons. One is the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and then we have prayer. And when you strap those weapons together, you have dynamite.” Bestselling author, speaker, and founder of True Girl, Dannah Gresh, talks about the importance of prayer, God’s Word and community in the midst of marital difficulties. God CAN help you redeem the broken places of your marriage!

SCRIPTURES

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Ephesians 5:3 NIV

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 NKJV

“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20 NKJV

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the saints. Ephesians 6:10-18 NASB

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NLT

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16 NIV

Yes, you came when I called; you told me, “Do not fear.” Lord, you have come to my defense; you have redeemed my life. Lamentations 3:57-58 NLT

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Life-Giving! That’s what Moms in Prayer (MIP) has been to Marcy over the years. She has been praying in a MIP group since her children were 3, 6, and 8. She and her group prayed through every age, stage and situation, and now her kids are married with children of their own. Moms in Prayer was her best parenting tool because it brought her peace, taught her how to pray, and changed her responses by growing her love for the Lord and His word.

SCRIPTURES

When I am afraid,

I put my trust in you.

In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.

What can flesh do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 ESV

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10 ESV
