glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. —Psalm 24:7–10 Establish your legal right in the name of Jesus. Using the name of Jesus means that your activities are backed up in the power and authority of the anointed One of God, who declared the extent, power, and magnitude of His anointing in the following verse: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatso ever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. —Matthew 28:18–20 Identify the strongman and the subordinate spirits. The strongman and subordinate spirits will be exposed in the next chapter. There I have prepared a simple manual for you to identify the strongman and the details of subordinate spirits, their signs, symptoms, and manifestations. My suggestion is to explore each strongman that relates to a specific spirit. Ask God how to proceed in prayer. He might instruct you to war against one or all of them. Utilize a prayer journal. A prayer journal will make your prayer time more effective. Use the “Prayers of Activation Into Battle” from chapter 3 as you go into your prayer time. Pray under cover. Don’t be a renegade. Make sure you stay under your pastor or prayer leaders’ covering. Stay submitted.
