“When we devote ourselves, when we love the Lord our God more than anyone or anything else, then idols will have to fall.” Today our Moms in Prayer Michigan State Coordinator, Mary Jane Geers, joins us to talk about overcoming barriers to prayer. Prayer isn’t always the easiest, most convenient or comfortable thing to do, but the fruit that comes from it lasts for eternity. Listen in as Mary Jane takes us to God’s Word and reminds us Who holds the victory.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS

Wrestling with inner arguments immediately began after receiving an invitation to a Moms in Prayer group: “I’ll sound like a fool.” “I don’t have time for that.” “What’s the point?” Fears, idols, and doubts rose up in opposition to what Mary Jane knew was the right thing to do. She didn’t feel like doing the uncomfortable, the inconvenient, nor the irrational.

But God.

Through Holy Spirit’s conviction and empowerment, she said “yes” to a friend’s (and the Lord’s) invitation to attend a Moms in Prayer group. Despite the fear of others, the opposition of her flesh, and the lies of the enemy, she showed up. And is beyond glad that she did!

Mary Jane cannot imagine how radically different life would have been without Moms in Prayer.

Now 20 years later, after her first yes to Moms in Prayer, she can testify that she has seen many children, including her own three daughters, grow up to love, serve and follow the Lord. In addition, by God’s grace, school communities have been sustained and strengthened despite the temptations and trials of this world. Finally, praying God’s good and beautiful word has helped her and other moms to live victoriously in Christ instead of unnecessarily defeated by the enemy.

Praise be to Jesus Christ, who has destroyed the barriers! Fellow sisters in Christ, may we demolish arguments and be found faithful to follow the Lord, no matter what He asks us to do, especially with Moms in Prayer.

SCRIPTURES

We must demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7 NKJV

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ Mark 12:30 NIV

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33 NIV

not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 NIV

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6 NIV
