The Rules of Engagement

YOU—Redefined

Above all, remain vigilant in your prayers and mediation on the Word. Because you are armed with these weapons, you can rest assured that although the enemy will attempt to exact himself upon you, you can go into every battle with the knowledge of 2 Corinthians 2:14: “God…always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” Indeed, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper” (Isa. 54:17). As you begin to receive revelation from this book, I pray that as Adam was ushered into the Garden of Eden, a wealthy place, God will also usher you into your wealthy place. Psalm 66:12 says, “You sent troops to ride across our broken bodies. We went through fire and flood. But in the end, you brought us into wealth and great abundance” (tlb). I decree and declare that God will bring complete victory in the areas the enemy has gained a stronghold in. May your mind become like the Garden of Eden prior to the Fall—a place of peace and serenity, saturated with the presence of God. If you have suffered any loss, I also decree and declare that the anointing of Job for restoration be released upon you. Things that the enemy stole, destroyed, or undermined are being restored to you twofold. What a wonderful encouragement the following scripture has been to me, and I pray that it will encourage you to prevail in prayer: And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. —Job 42:10–13

In this season, your relationships are being healed, your money is coming, and your “gold” is being released. Your latter end shall be more glorious than
