ON YOUR KNEES!
It is quite interesting that Jesus spends almost half of Luke 17 discussing the severity of the coming end times and right after, tells them a parable of this persistent woman who needed justice from a judge and would not give up pressuring him until she got her answer…
Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
From the Scripture, we understand that the whole parable is about prayer. After telling the story, Jesus says these powerful words…
And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:6-8
The only people who pray are the ones who believe God is their answer. If a person does not believe God is the answer to their situation, they will not take the time to pray, especially with the kind of prayer that will not give up until the answer is granted.
In these last days, God is looking for those who believe him enough to pray with persistence! Even Jesus when he prayed, as recorded in John chapter 17, prayed five times in the same prayer for unity and love. You can be sure that the fiercest battles of your life will be one on your knees!
