"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." (1 Peter 4:7) "People naturally pray when they suppose that the end of all things is coming." (Barnes' Notes) Do you sense that the "end of all things" is near? Peter said that these times call for a commitment to prayer. Paul seemed to add that such times call for a super-intensity of prayer. Such intensity is needed in order to avert the evil coming against the Church today. God has promised to "pour out the spirit of grace and supplication" upon His people in order to enable them to reach that end. As a believer in Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit!
