Like the Prayer of Jabez, the Prayer of Epaphras reminds us that even someone little-known can make a huge impact. Your prayers make an impact too.In Colossians 4:12, we see Epaphras described as “always laboring in prayer” for the believers—agonizing in prayer so that they may stand complete in God’s will. The Greek word used here (ag-o-NEED-zom-eye) is the same root as “agony.” Epaphras prayed with intensity, passion, and travail for the church he helped found.This message explores:- Epaphras’ example of deep, fervent prayer (Col. 1:3–7, 2:1, 4:12).- The difference between vain repetition and true spiritual intensity (Matt. 6:7).- The call for believers today to rediscover “agonizing prayer,” not through empty theatrics, but by aligning with the heart of God.- How revival begins with prayer that aches for God’s kingdom to come.- Romans 8:26 and the Spirit’s role in interceding for us with groans too deep for words.- The sharpening of our spiritual weapons (1 Sam. 13:19–20) for the days we live in.Recently, a movement of churches in New England entered into covenant together to pray for revival. In that moment of travail, the Spirit moved powerfully—even among those who normally shy away from public prayer. This is the kind of prayer we need in our time.🔥 It’s time to labor in prayer like Epaphras. To ache, to weep, to groan before the Lord. To sharpen our spiritual weapons and seek revival in our day.📖 Scriptures: Colossians 1:3–7; Colossians 2:1; Colossians 4:12; Matthew 6:7; 1 Kings 18; Romans 8:26; 1 Samuel 13:19–20#mitzvot #Jewish #shabbat #shalom #blowtheshofar #Shofarblast #MishkahnDavidRI #Tenakh #Bible #Torah #webelieve #BritChadasha #Godbreathed #wordofgod #inspired #messianicjudaism #messianic #christian #yeshua #faith #jesus #love #theway #biblicalmonth #biblicalcalendar #theway #thetruth #thelife #life #hope #love #birth #bornagain #moses #moshe #parshat #torahportion #Israel #prayer #Epaphras #Jabez #Paul #Ferventprayer #Colossians
