The Rules of Engagement

The Rules of Engagement

Insecurity counterattack “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good plea sure” (Phil. 2:13). Rely on the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. (See 1 John 4:4.) Insults counterattack Pray: I obliterate and annihilate satanic impressions, insults, prejudice, harass ments, projections, perceptions, suggestions, suspicions, and deceptions set up as a decoy or an ambush to my soul and those assigned to pray with me, for me, on behalf of me, those who work with me, are assigned to me, and interact with me daily. (See 1 Kings 22:5–40; Acts 13:50; 2 Thessalonians 2:1–10.) Build prayer hedges and fire walls around your mind, will, and emotions. I overrule and overthrow according to Isaiah 54:17, ill-spoken words, ill wishes, enchant ments, curses, and every idle word spoken contrary to God’s original plans and purpose. I reverse the effects associated with these insults and decree that they shall not stand; they shall not come to pass; they shall not take root . Their violent verbal dealings are returned to them twofold. Amen.” Interference counterattack Ask God for supernatural intervention. Pray the “Prayers of Activation Into Warfare” in chapter 3. Invincible obstructions counterattack Pray 2 Samuel 22:30: “For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.” And pray Matthew 17:20: “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Invisible barriers counterattack “Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth” (Luke 3:5). Employ the anointing of Zerubbabel and prophesy grace to every mountain (Zech. 4:6–7). Irritations counterattack Ask God to remove the irritations or to provide divine inoculations.
