The Rules of Engagement

The Rules of Engagement

I have even witnessed times when individuals gather together to pray and the individual prayer agenda is a different prayer agenda from the group. The devil, knowing that God commends His blessings in the midst of unity (Ps. 133), will attempt to sabotage the spirit of unity so that although we are in one place, we are not one in mind, intent, or language. True unity is when we are one and in agreement on all levels of warfare. I strongly recommend that when a church calls a prayer meeting, the entire prayer group should be praying from the same stance, using the same language, and agreeing on the same agenda. This book is written to accommodate this, so that even young Christians can pray at the same level of effectiveness and intensity as seasoned and veteran saints. This book is intended to facilitate this level of unity as we “touch and agree” in Jesus’s name. When praying for specific things concerning the church, ministry, or orga nizations, it is important that any and all spiritual activities be accurately recorded and submitted to the chief prayer warrior, prayer team, and your pastor so that your insight may be accurately judged and that you may receive full support and reinforcement in prayer. As you pray and war in the spirit, remember to use your legal right and spiritual authority. God has placed the enemies under your feet and given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; nothing shall by any means hurt you. “Notwithstanding in this…the spirits are subject unto you” (Luke 10:20). Show no mercy to the enemy as you employ these strategies and tactics. According to 2 Corinthians 2:14, God will cause you to triumph. Remember that you are not fighting with the flesh and blood, but against spiritual beings who use human agents to fulfill their purpose in the earth realm. Since your weapons are not carnal, but mighty through God (2 Cor. 10:4), then “No weapon that is formed against [you] shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against [you] in judgment [you] shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord ” (Isa. 54:17, emphasis added).
