Prayer as an aggressive act?

Prayer as an aggressive act?

“Violence and love are not contradictory…[we] must learn of
Calvary’s power. Love. And,[we] must also learn Calvary’s price.
Violence.”-Jack HayfordChist’s sacifice was a violent act of love.

From the time of John the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of heaven
has been forcefully advancing, and forceful people have been seizing
it. (Mat 11:12 GW)

This continues to be a strange and new concept for me. I have always
seen prayer as a passive, afterthought. But prayer, like Christ’s
sacrifice for us, is an aggressive act against the evil and darkness
of this world that wants to steal our hearts.

  1. Wow. Great thought. We so often are tricked into thinking that prayer is somehow passive even though the Bible tells us we are in a battle…
