These are my teaching notes for prayer. I want to encourage you to study to show yourself approved. Know your enemy. There are keys the Lord has given us to get results in prayer. Intercession is serious spiritual business. Are you ready? The adversary would like nothing more than to keep you down and out and ignorant of his devises. God would have you to walk in the high places he has promised you. It's war, a spiritual war. Who is winning? If you have been defeated, it's time for you to wake up, put on your armor and fight. You vs. the kingdom of darkness. You gonna let them have your family, your blessings, your God given inheritance? Fight or die. Your choice. You have everything you need to win. God even said satan is a defeated foe, a loser. So what are you waiting for. Ask, seek, knock= A.S.K. it's yours the door has been opened. He has given you the KEYS. GO!
James 5:16 NLT The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
Do you feel like your prayers ARE NOT being answered? Do you feel like the gates of hell are prevailing against you? Do you run out of steam? Would you like to see more results and fruit from praying? Would having more fruit encourage you to pray more? Well the good news is that YOU CAN!
The problem with most prayer is the 3 P’s: 1 pointless, 2 passionless, 3 powerless. Poorly formed, thoughtlessly presented prayers have no effect.
Don’t worry Matt 16:18 says the gates of hell shall not prevail against you.
Matt16:19 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Bind-bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4). Loose- to loose, to release, to dissolve.
LUKE 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. So DO IT!
Strategic- of relating to a strategy. Important or essential in relation to a plan of action. Essential to the effective conduct of war. Highly important to an intended objective. Intended to destroy the military potential of an enemy.
Strategic Prayer- is essential prayer that is necessary to conduct war, accomplish an objective and destroy the enemy and his devices.
Tactical- 1 : relating to combat tactics occurring at the battlefront, a tactical first strike: using or being weapons or forces employed at the battlefront ,tactical missiles b of an air force : of, relating to, or designed for air attack in close support of friendly ground forces
2 a : of or relating to tactics: as (1) : of or relating to small-scale actions serving a larger purpose (2) : made or carried out with only a limited or immediate end in view b: in planning or maneuvering to accomplish a purpose
Target- something or someone fired at or marked for attack: a goal to be achieved : an object of ridicule or criticism: something or someone to be affected by an action or development
Strategic prayer focuses and targets the enemy/strongman/principalities & powers 2nd heaven.
Tactical prayer focuses on the people/places/subject acted against by the enemy/strongman.
How do we pray strategically?
1. Go after the strongman first. Why? Mark 3:27- "But no one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
2. Identify the strong man
3. Bind him and cut off his cords. Cords are communication lines to lesser demons. Why? You can’t spoil his house unless bound, and lesser demons draw strength, receive orders and assignments from ruling demons.
4. Spoil his house, take the high places i.e command center.
5. If you fail to take out the strong man over people, places, their ability to influence people/gov’mts will not diminish.
6. If we fail to pray for people their tendency to yield to sin and strongmen will increase.
**Note: strongmen over a person can be bound by workers without too much problem, however a strongman-ruling prince over a wide area represents a higher ranking adversary and requires corporate prayer and intercession to dethrone. It takes a united effort of God’s people to bind up strongmen over areas and regions. Call for Intercessors.
Occupying the High Places/Command Central
Every army fights to possess the high places. Why?
1. From the high places you have a commanding 360 view
2. you can see what needs to be done form strategies/tactics
3. control, do reconnaissance and dispatch
4. launch attacks/assault the enemy/execute plans
5. enemy cannot sneak up on you.
Scripture ref. for high places: Eph 6:12,Lev 26:30, 2kings 18:4,2Chron28:4,34:3,14:3,Deut 33:29,Isa 41:18,Prov 9:3,Hab3:19,1kings15:14,Ezk6:6,36:1-3. Break down evil, build up Holy.
Tactical Praying
1. Define goals- if you don’t know your goals, you won’t know how or what to pray.
2. Reconnaissance/mapping- research, spy out the land, spiritual & natural
3. Identify prayer targets-
who,what, why, where, when
4. Prioritize prayer targets-
order of importance
5. Keep Holy Spirit ears and
eyes on and open
6. Stay flexible- timing is
everything
7. Pray in the HOLY SPIRIT
always.
*** When people reject the gospel of peace, it is because they are blinded by the god of this world 2 Cor 4:4. When you bind up the strongman, spoil his house, cut off lesser demons, they are then able to come to a decision without demonic interference…
