WELL-TIMED TIMES OF PRAYER: Prayer Note # 35

        
Dutch Sheets shares with us from his book, Intercessory Prayer, concerning well-timed times of prayer:

“This facet of intercession is not only to be something we do on a general regular basis for our family and loved ones. 

There are also specific times when the Holy Spirit will alert us to particular situations that need protective prayer. 

These are what the Scriptures call kairos times, (the strategic or ‘right time; the opportune point of time at which something should be done.’)

Is it possible that some who have fallen away from Christ would not have if someone had interceded for them?

Is it possible that much successful persecution against the Church could be stopped or rendered unfruitful if we were alert and interceded against it?

Ephesians 6:18, the context of which is spiritual warfare, says that we are to "be on the alert…for all the saints" and "pray at all (kairos) times in the Spirit."  

He is not telling us here to pray all the time, which would be chronos, but to pray at all strategic times (kairos). 

In other words, we are in a war and if we are alert He will warn us of the well-times attacks (kairos) of the enemy, so we can create a boundary (paga) of protection by praying.”
