When Fire Meets Faith and the War We're Fighting

A firefighter once told me about the day the impossible happened. The Waldo Canyon Fire was devouring everything - 100-foot walls of flame driven by 65-mph winds that should have consumed an entire neighborhood. Yet at one property line, the inferno simply stopped. Today, you can still see the stark contrast: blackened stumps on one side, living trees on the other. Friends reported seeing what appeared to be angelic wings spread against the flames. This isn't folklore or wishful thinking - it's the kind of breakthrough that happens when we learn to pray with authority rather than just hope. Most of us approach prayer like sending wish lists to a distant deity. We recite careful words, add "in Jesus' name," and wonder why nothing changes. But what if prayer isn't about polite requests? What if it's about wielding the most powerful weapon in a cosmic war we didn't know we were fighting? The nativity scenes in our living rooms tell a sanitized story. We forget that God's arrival on earth triggered a massacre of infants, forcing Jesus to flee as a refugee. If God is truly all-powerful, why didn't he simply obliterate Herod? This paradox reveals something crucial: we're living in contested territory. Think of it like being a third-grader storming Normandy Beach, or a hobbit with a handkerchief facing a dragon. We're outmatched, and our prayers reflect our ignorance. When Daniel prayed, God answered immediately - but demonic forces blocked the response for three weeks until angelic reinforcements arrived. This isn't ancient mythology; it's the reality Scripture repeatedly describes. Christ's arrival accelerated a global conflict, with Satan unleashed in fury against anyone following Jesus. The brutal executions by extremist groups aren't random violence - they're evidence of a war most Christians pretend doesn't exist. This warfare context explains why our gentle "Jesus be with us" prayers accomplish so little. When Jesus said "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves," he wasn't speaking only to first-century disciples. Prayer isn't just asking God to do things - it's learning to wield authority in battle.
