Join Us in Spiritual Battle

We are to take territory from Satan in the place of prayer. With the power of the Holy Spirit, through the mighty weapons of spiritual warfare enumerated in Ephesians 6:10-20, II Corinthians 10:1-6, and James 4:7-10, we are told to pull down the devil's strongholds. We must pray against the enemy's influence in whatever area we are aware.

One person put it this way: Going with the gospel to every person (Mark 16:15) is like God's infantry. Discipling nations (Matthew 28:18-20) is His air force. And intercession for the nations (Daniel 9, Nehemiah 9, Ezra 9) is like intercontinental missiles. Praying is a very powerful part of the spiritual warfare we enter into to recapture this world for Jesus Christ.

Our prayers should be specific. As we listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit in our minds, He will tell us how to pray. (See Proverbs 3:5,6; Isaiah 55:8; Isaiah 59:16; I Timothy 2:1-6; Isaiah 62:6,7.) We then pray for the Holy Spirit to bring His influence to people in a strategic area:

Let's say it is regarding the government of a certain region. We should pray for a Christian witness to come to the individuals in that government, leading them towards the Lord Jesus. Then, if individuals won't submit to the Lord Jesus, we can pray that God will replace them, putting someone else in their place who will do His will.

This is what is implied every time we pray this phrase in the Lord's Prayer: "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." If His will were presently being done everywhere on earth, then it wouldn't be necessary for Jesus to tell us to pray that it would be!

Here are some ways that you can join us in prayer:

    -- Subscribe to our general prayer request feed (via RSS)
    -- Subscribe to Our Twitter Feed
    -- Sign up to pray for one or more areas culture (requests sent out via email newsletter)
    -- Become a strategic prayer coordinator (help us update our prayer blog and newsletters)

After you have prayed for a specific category - be it a government, a school system, an area of the media, or whatever - God may then choose to use you in the very arena for which you have been praying. He may call you to penetrate that influential place for Him, placing you, like Daniel or Joseph, in a place of authority.
