High Alert Communiction
Pastor Owen Mason’s sermon, “High Alert Communication,” urged believers to respond to every crisis by elevating their prayer life. Drawing from Colossians 4:2, he emphasized the call to continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful and thankful. Likewise, Romans 15:30 highlights striving together in prayer as essential to God’s work.
He taught that communion with God is the major key to fulfilling God’s plan, as seen in Luke 18:1, where Jesus told a parable so we would always pray and not lose heart. James 5:16 assures us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful, while Matthew 6:6 reminds us to pray privately and sincerely. Pastor Mason laid out how prayer starts: making time, being consistent, removing distractions, and waiting before the Lord, all relying on God’s Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).
Next, he urged us to seek a heart of prayer, rooted in Scripture, confession, supplication, and thanksgiving. Jeremiah 33:3 promises that when we call, God answers and reveals hidden things. Daniel’s example (Daniel 9:1-3, 2:18, 2:46-47, 6:4-5) showed a life marked by prayer, integrity, and trust in God to reveal mysteries and deliver.
Finally, Pastor Mason called us to P.U.S.H. — Pray Until Something Happens. Like Daniel in Daniel 10, who prayed and fasted three weeks until breakthrough came despite spiritual opposition, we too wield spiritual weapons (2 Corinthians 10:4) that demolish strongholds. Jesus’ words in Mark 11:24 assure that if we pray believing, we will receive.
Ultimately, every crisis is a summons to high alert communication with God, who hears and responds to persistent, faith-filled prayer.
