The Rules of Engagement

Counterattacking the Weapons of the Enemy

Underachievement counterattack Bind the spirit of underachievement. Decree and declare that through Christ you can fulfill purpose, maximize potential, and bring glory to the name of the Lord. Set the bar of achievement higher.

Unforgiveness counterattack Declare Matthew 6:14–15.

Unholy alliances counterattack Ask God to assist you in discerning the spirits of those who operate around you. Bind every spirit that is diabolically assigned to you, and decree and declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Unsanctified souls counterattack Pray the following passages: “Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me” (Ps. 51:6–11); “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21). Vain imagination counterattack Pray 2 Corinthians 10:4–6: “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” Vengeance/vindictiveness counterattack Pray Hebrews 10:30: “For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belon geth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.” This is no light matter. God has warned us that He will hold us to account. God will judge His people. Nobody is getting by with anything, believe me. Let God be God!
