Whcn wc hcar Lhc word war wc havc LhoughLs o dcsLrucLion, sorrow,

I said, Iord, whaL arc You showing mc` Tis is Lhc uLurc war o Lhc

Lhis is now a classic hisLory book o Lhc lasL dccadc and scason o war. AL Lhc

War is likc Lhc gamc o chcss. Much likc various picccs in a gamc o chcss,
cach o us plays a kcy rolc in Cods cnd-Limc sLraLcgy or uLurc plan or ull-

To bc ccicnL in Lhc rulcs o cngagcmcnL, onc musL know Lhc promiscs

and Lcchnology o sLraLcgic praycr and spiriLual wararc.
His skill and cxpcrLisc wcrc gaincd as Cod, in His sovcrcignLy, placcd him
in Lhc midsL o a varicLy o baLLlcs, including cncounLcrs wiLh bcars and lions,
conronLaLion wiLh ColiaLh, and Lhc baLLlc hc oughL wiLh his son Absalom,
whosc dcanL insurrccLion almosL cosL David his kingdom. In Lhis psalm,
David lcLs us know LhaL iL was 1chovah-Cibbor, Lhc mighLy Man o war, who
LaughL him wararc sLraLcgics and LacLics and providcd Lhc divinc cmpow-

From Davids lic cxpcricnccs, I havc lcarncd LhaL Lhc only way you can

2. Engage in the proper preparation.

My heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus I enter into Your gates with
thanksgiving and into Your courts with praise. I bless Your name.
You are great and greatly to be praised. I worship You and adore You.
(Continue to worship God, and thank Him for health, strength, etc.)
I thank You, Father, for clothing me in a robe of righteousness, which
covers me because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. It is in Him I live
and move and have my being (Ps. 100:4; Isa. 61:10; Acts 17:28).
3. Rid yourself of encumbrances.
According Lo Hcbrcws l2:l, a cw oLhcr acLions arc nccdcd as you prcparc

sLrcngLh, you ghL Lhcm in Lhc sLrcngLh o Lhc Iord.
4. Maintain the proper perspective, posture, and position.
Whcn you obscrvc a soldicr, you immcdiaLcly noLicc his sLancc and his
posiLion. His hcad is up, his cycs arc alcrL and awarc o his surroundings, and
hc is always in posiLion. Tis is a licsavcr in warLimc, i Lhcrc cvcr was onc.
IL is impcraLivc LhaL a soldicr knows his posiLion and whcrc hc should bc aL
all Limcs.

Tcrcorc, as you arc ghLing or Lhc army o Lhc Iord, you will wanL Lo

sLand consisLcnLly (v. l3), and sLand armcd and dangcrous (2 Cor. l0:45).
Your posiLion is in Lhc hcavcnly placcs in ChrisL 1csus (Fph. 2:6). Rcmcmbcr,
as Hc is in Lhc world, so arc wc (2 Cor. l0:7, Rom. 6:45). To mainLain Lhis
posiLion, your communicaLion musL bc righL on and always connccLcd. Pray
Lhronc-room praycrs (Hcb. 4:l4l6, S:l5, l0:l923) Lo kccp you aligncd
wiLh your hcadquarLcrs. Tronc-room praycrs arc praycrs LhaL arc praycd

Praying rom Lhc righL posiLion wiLh Lhc righL pcrspccLivc and wiLh con-

Lhc assurancc LhaL Lhc answcrs arc on Lhc way (l 1ohn 5:l4l5). You arc noL
praying dccnsivcly, counLcring an aLLack hurlcd upon you rom Lhc rcalm o
Lhc spiriL Lo you who stand upon Lhc carLh. You arc praying rom your hcav-
cnly posiLion in ChrisL 1csus, who has bccn cxalLcd abovc all principaliLics

You arc praying ocnsivcly, in hcavcnly placcs, having rcccivcd powcr ovcr all
Lhc powcr o Lhc cncmy (Fph. l:2023, 2:6, Phil. 2:5ll, Iukc l0:l9).
5. Make certain you are properly adorned.
PuL on Lhc Iord 1csus ChrisL, and makc no provisions or Lhc cshlusL,
cnvy, sLric, biLLcrncss, ornicaLion, haLrcd, and so on (Rom. l3:l4, Cal.

Lo Fphcsians 6:l3l7.
6. Eectively use your authority.
Tc blood o 1csus ChrisL givcs you Lhc righL Lo cnLcr Lhc holicsL o placcs
and Lo pcLiLion Cod or Lhc dclivcrancc LhaL you or somconc clsc may nccd

7. Eectively use your weapons.
Tc sword o Lhc SpiriL is Lhc Word o Cod, Lhc blood o 1csus ChrisL, Lhc
anoinLing and rc o Lhc Holy SpiriL. Marching, walking, sLomping, dancing,
clapping, silcncc, praying in Lhc SpiriL, LiLhcs, ocrings, and shouLing arc all

Achicving Lhc kind o vicLory LhaL was won in Lhc prcvious sLory rcquircs

1. You must pull down thoughts that do not qualify.
Tis acLion dcnoLcs an cnLirc dcmoliLion, a clcaring away and annihilaLion

2. You must eradicate strongholds (ochuroma1)

3. Tis satanic kingdom has a cosmological system.
Tc word cosmology spcaks o Lhc dynamic arrangcmcnL o Lhc univcrsc

4. God has given us authority and power to expose Satans tactics and
overcome his attack.
SaLan rulcs Lhc kingdom o darkncss. Rcmcmbcr, hc is Lhc princc o Lhc

bccausc discmbodicd spiriLs wcrc noL givcn auLhoriLy Lo opcraLc on Lhc carLh.
Tis is why SaLan had Lo posscss Lhc body o a snakc in ordcr Lo gain lcgal

kncw Lhc law o undcrLaking any iniLiaLivcs in Lhc carLh rcalm. Flcsh and

S:46, ll5:l6, Iukc l0:l9, Fph. 2:2).
5. Satan has set himself up to be a god in the earth realm.
Hc is an imposLcr and an impcrsonaLor (Isa. l4:l2l4). Sincc Cod aborLcd
his diabolical coup d tat (aggrcssivc Lakcovcr) in Lhc Lhird hcavcns, SaLan
now aLLcmpLs Lo bccomc a god ovcr Lhc inhabiLanLs o Lhc carLh. You musL
puL up a rcsisLancc (1amcs 4:7).
6. Satan and his demonic cohorts have the ability to oppress, possess,
and terrorize humanity.
You musL idcnLiy Lhc spiriLs, Lakc your auLhoriLy ovcr Lhc cncmy, and
bind Lhcir acLiviLics in 1csuss namc. (Scc Isaiah l4:l52l, Danicl 7:2527,
Mark 3:27, RcvclaLion l2:7l3.) You will lcarn morc abouL Lhis as you procccd
Lhrough Lhis book.
7. Tis kingdom of darkness has a sophisticated economy.
As wiLh any oLhcr carLhly kingdom, iL Lradcs and LransacLs busincss.
SaLan has builL an cnLirc cvil cmpirc by uLilizing Lhc mosL prccious o all

8. Te kingdom of Satan is a kingdom of darkness.
Whcn wc spcak o Lhc kingdom o darkncss wc spcak o any LcrriLory or
domain whcrc Lhcrc is an abscncc o Cod, divinc rcvclaLion, purposc, and
dcsLiny. SpiriLual blindncss is anoLhcr wcapon o mass dcsLrucLion. In shorL,

has madc him blind, unablc Lo scc Lhc glorious lighL o Lhc Cospcl LhaL is

Lhc glory o ChrisL, who is Cod. (Scc also Ccncsis l:24, DcuLcronomy 2S:29,
1ob l2:25, Isaiah 59:l0.)
9. Te kingdom of darkness is accessible to both spirit beings and human
beings who either visit or make their abode there.
Fallcn angcls dwcll Lhcrc. Tis kingdom o darkncss is noL ar rcmovcd
rom us aL all. As human bcings, wc can abandon Lhc laws o CodLhc laws
LhaL would bring us Lhc pcacc LhaL surpasscs all undcrsLandingand livc in

Babylon. Babylon is Lo Lhc kingdom o darkncss as WashingLon DC is Lo Lhc
UniLcd SLaLcs, or Iondon is Lo Fngland. Tink o iL as you would Lhc capiLal
o your counLry.
10. Like our own worship of the Lord our God, the kingdom of darkness
also has a mode of worship.
1usL as your worship brings you inLo Lhc prcscncc o Cod, saLanic worship
will bring you inLo Lhc prcscncc o SaLan. Rcmcmbcr, worship is noL jusL an
acLiviLy in a church or synagoguc, iL also is Lhc licsLylc you choosc Lo livc on

11. Te kingdom of darkness can be experienced by both the physical
senses and the spiritual senses.
Tc cxpcricncc o Lhc kingdom o darkncss can bc physical, and iL can also
bc spiriLual. I am surc you know somconc who has allcn inLo drug abusc,

Familiar spiriLs usually opcraLc indcpcndcnLly o Lhc human spiriL.

LhaL I may go Lo hcr, and inquirc o hcr. And his scrvanLs said Lo him, Bchold,
Lhcrc is a woman LhaL haLh a amiliar spiriL aL Fndor.
In Lhis LcxL a amiliar spiriL has ormcd an unholy alliancc wiLh Lhc wiLch
o Fndor, who crosscs ovcr Lo Lhc dark world and sccs dcmonic acLiviLics.
A amiliar spiriL, who is awarc LhaL Sauls anoinLing has bccn liLcd and who

Become procient in the mechanics of binding and loosing.
Binding and loosing is a way Lo conLrol saLanic acLiviLics. Whcn wc arc
born, wc do noL know how Lo do anyLhing. Ovcr Limc, wc lcarn Lo roll ovcr, siL
up, crawl, walk, and run. Fvcn i you havc no cxpcricncc in binding or loosing

Lraining. Rcmcmbcr, you havc Lo sLarL crawling bcorc you walk and run.
Or clsc how can onc cnLcr inLo a sLrong mans housc, and spoil his

Tc qucsLion Im mosL rcqucnLly askcd is, WhaL do I bind, and whaL

Tc Holy SpiriL will bccomc a Lypc o drill sergeant whosc rcsponsibiliLy is

During your praycr Limc, Lhc Iord may cvcn placc Lhc spiriL o a waLchman

LhaL whcn a church calls a praycr mccLing, Lhc cnLirc praycr group should
