What If His People Prayed?

Recently I have preached 2 sermons on spiritual warfare. As a follow up I want to share with you the lyrics from a song by Casting Crowns called, “What if His People Prayed.” I believe the words

bring an appropriate conclusion to a very serious topic.

What if the armies of the Lord Picked up and dusted off their swords

Vowed to set the captive free And not let Satan have one more

What if the Church, for heaven's sake Finally stepped up to the plate

Took a stand upon God's promise And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus: What if His people prayed

And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His face And turn from their old ways

And what would happen if we prayed For those raised up to lead the way

Then maybe kids in school could pray And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue Came from a hunger for the truth What if the family turned to Jesus Stopped asking Oprah what to do

Chorus: What if His people prayed

And those who bear His name Would humbly seek His face And turn from their old ways He said that He would hear His promise has been made He'll answer loud and clear

If only we would pray
