In this message, Lance emphasizes the importance of prayer warfare for the church. He argues that the world is essentially a spiritual battleground and Christians need to engage in spiritual warfare to see God's will done.

Lance uses the example of Daniel, a busy government official who prioritized prayer and impacted the spiritual realm through his intercession. He contrasts Daniel's commitment with the common attitude of busyness and apathy towards prayer in the church.

Lance challenges the idea that prayer meetings are merely religious exercises or opportunities for emotional release. He highlights the importance of corporate prayer, where believers come together in unity, guided by the Holy Spirit, to contend for God's purposes in their communities and the world.

He emphasizes the need for perseverance, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's leading, and a willingness to stand firm against the enemy's attacks. Lance concludes by urging the church to embrace its calling to exercise dominion through prayer, resisting the enemy and experiencing the joy, freedom, and fullness that comes from aligning with God's will.
