#23: Gettysburg Reminds Me!

I'm in the midst of crushing the Union at the Battle of Gettysburg using Civil War Generals 2 as my medium and I've had a thought as I was wonderin' just what good it's all doin'.
In Ephesians 6:10-20, we're told to stand firm in the Lord, be aware of our spiritual warfare, put on the whole armor of God, and pray at all times in the Spirit for ALL the saints.
'Just How' is the question to be asked, since you can't possibly know ALL the names of Christians worldwide. Rely on God's character, that's how! He's everywhere, knows everything, and has all power, so take something you KNOW to be His will and ask it on behalf of 'ALL Christians'; for instance, 'CAUSE all Christians to be putting on the whole armor of God, to be aware of the spiritual battle we're in, to be standing firm in YOU, and to be praying at all times in the Spirit for All the saints!!'
If you want to see countries opened for evangelism, use Rev. 3:8: 'open the doors', use Isaiah 55:11,6: 'send forth Your Word to accompish that for which YOU intended it', then combine Matthew 16:18/Colossians 2:15: 'Build YOUR Church and disarm the principalities of that land!!'
Oh, yeah...use Pv. 25:25, 'bring me good news from afar' to learn how and when your requests are being answered.
You can do this for all kinds of people groups...ask the Lord to show you how and then march to the sound of the heavenly artillery that comprises our spiritual weapons!! (cf. 2 Corinthians 10:4), 'for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.'
Got OOORAH?!!
