Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Because when prayer no longer interrupts power, it stops being prayer. It becomes theatre. Faith becomes decoration. God becomes a supporting character in someone elseβs story.

Believers in Jesus (The Way, The Truth, and The Life) must never fail to reveal themselves as the servants of the truth wherever they are. They must replay the conduct of the early disciples at Antioch, where the power of the truth they lived out promptly identified them with Christ. We must be believed; our body language must reflect what we preach. There should not be any disconnect between us and our message of salvation.

God can save the vilest of sinners. Saul was an unlikely candidate for salvation, yet Jesus chose him. This teaches us that no one is beyond redemption.
No matter how far someone has strayed, Godβs grace is powerful enough to bring about transformation.
βThe Christian life is not living in our own strength and resources, but from the infinite Christ who lives within those who believe. All human strength will come to an end sooner or later, leaving each of us with a charred, burned-out life. But His strength knows no end.β
"Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And besides Thee, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:25-28)

What's the use of praying if we're not right with God?" He quoted the 24th Psalm, "Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?"
You can't approach God unless your hands are clean, which means your relationships with others are clean and your heart is clean. "Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? He who has clean hands and a pure heart (Psalm 24:3-4)

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, βO Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.
18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.β(Daniel 3:13-18)

Christian, you are fighting a just cause and a Holy War. Don't be misled into thinking it wise to receive aid or be in alliance with the devil or his agents, if such accord will advance your just causes (as a Christian).
You can't outwit the devil with human wisdom. He will always ensure you compromise, drop your moral guard, or lower your Christian standards and convictions before he gives you anything.
Don't fall for a morsel of bread like Esau did.
