The Rules of Engagement

Counterattacking the Weapons of the Enemy

Rebellion counterattack Pray without ceasing. Bind the spirit of rebellion. Decree and declare that peace, compliance, and obedience are superimposed over the spirit of rebel lion. Regret counterattack Ask God to empower you to overcome the pain, guilt, shame, and humilia tion of the past. Live life on purpose. Live life in the now. Accept forgiveness. Forget the past, and look forward to what lies ahead (Phil. 3:13). Rejection counterattack Ask God to show you your true worth in Him. Do not seek affirmation from others at the expense of the affirmation that God gives you. See your self as God sees you. “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved” (Eph. 1:6). Religiosity counterattack Pray Matthew 6:10: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Resentment counterattack Ask God to remove the pain and grievance and to supply you with an abundance of forgiveness. Retaliation counterattack Decree and declare that no act of retaliation will prosper. Continue to reinforce your prayer shield and hedges of protection. Establish the Godhead as your gatekeeper and doorkeeper. Sabotage counterattack Bind and loose the spirit of Sanballat and Tobiah. Ask God to strengthen your hands as you work as unto the Lord. Ask God to supernaturally sustain you. Build prayer shields and hedges around your relationships, personhood, ministry, and business. Obliterate and annihilate satanic impressions, illu sions, projections, perceptions, suggestions, suspicions, and deceptions set up as a decoy or an ambush to your soul and those assigned to pray with you, for you, on behalf of you, those who work with you, are assigned to you, and interact with you daily. (See 1 Kings 22:5–40; Acts 13:50; 2 Thessalonians
