Prayer Power Series Part 1
THE KINGDOM MINDSET
Prayer: Lord i pray that as we read this message you will open our eyes of our understanding to grasp this knowledge and run with it in Jesus Name. Amen.
There is a constant war between two Kingdoms that has raged on for centuries and the battle is over a treasure so precious that one Kingdom will do all it can to save it and the other will do all it can to destroy it. The kingdoms are the Kingdom of Satan and The Kingdom of Jesus, and this treasure they are contending for is the souls of men. Souls that the devil hates with a passion and God loves with compassion. Yes you are that special to God (John 3:16).
Anyone saved today must understand that you were saved into an Army and you must learn how to fight to survive not just survive but to win others back from the enemy's camp.
I will use a few points to expound on what we need to learn today, i learned all these from a book called (PRACTICAL SPIRITUAL WARFARE by Zacharias Tanee Fomum):
1. As saints since there is constant battle we must always be battle ready and our weapon against the devil is the Word and Prayer. We will focus on prayer in this series because having the Word alone isn't enough you must know how to use it, the Word of God is like the Bullets and Prayer is the Gun. The first thing the devil hits is your prayer life because once he can bring it down he can get you easily so build a hedge around your prayer life. Once he can cut you off from your relationship to your greatest ally he can then destroy you.
2. The devil will look to attack everything good in your life hence you must always build a hedge around it in prayer. your body, prayer life, marriage, children, business, ministry, fresh revelation, grounds gained, education etc must all have hedges built around them in the place of prayer. Yes God automatically builds a hedge but a double hedge must be built because when it comes to spiritual warfare its a responsibility shared by God and Man, Man to pray and God to answer. He knows if he can distract you with an attack on something dear to you then soon enough your Faith will crumble.
3. Prayer builds the love of God in a mans heart hence making him live above sin. Anyone who doesn't pray has decided to enter into temptation because prayer keeps you from falling into temptation (Matthew 26:41).
4. The first sin a Christian commits is prayerlessness, once u commit the sin of prayerlessnes you will be able to easily commit all other sins. The devil is like a prowling Lion looking for who to devour, even if you don't hate him he hates you, if you don't defend yourself he will attack you to devastating effect.
5. The only enemy we have is the devil, no flesh and blood is the enemy (except those who have decided to be devils themselves or are spirits masking as men hence you need the spirit of discernment in this end times) therefore anytime you see anyone manifesting evil you are to pray against the evil spirit at work upon the person.
6. There are three levels in prayer warfare, one is to take the matter to God, next is to face the devil and command him to take his hands off what or who you're praying for, then pray the prayer of mercy and that the spirit of repentance will lead the person back to God.
Never face men, face the devil whose pulling the strings behind. The devil has successfully turned the church against each other in bitterness, jealousy malice and unforgiveness by making them focus on attacking one another when they should be attacking him in prayer. If your fellow believer hurts you badly understand that his your own body in Christ and attack the devil that misled or is at work upon him and pray for him because his salvation is at stake. Pray for his heart to be softened so he can repent and restitute because the devil hardens the hearts of those he leads into sin.
Once you gain victory in prayer it will manifest in the physical.
7. Whenever you send a fellow believer away or sideline them due to his sin or shortcoming you leave him in the hands of the devil and that will advance the kingdom of darkness not the kingdom of God we are to intercede until the person is saved again and minister the ministry of reconciliation to him.
8. Don't fight your wife if shes stubborn, fight the spirit that's making her stubborn etc. If your husband is an alcoholic attack the spirit of alcoholism not him. Else you destroy your marriage.
9. Every believer is part of the body of Christ therefore we are inseparable. Any sin committed by any believer is in sense my own sin too, any failure of any believer is in sense my own failure. Therefore i will fiercely fight the devil for harming my own body not fight myself. I will not rest until the person is restored fully even if its me who they hurt.
I will rebuke all those who go around exposing the sins of my brother or sister because they are exposing my my own sins and failures too.
I will intercede with Love even if the fellow does not love me and i will say nothing negative behind his back because i belong to all believers and all believers belong to me, we are bound together forever and we have only one common enemy the devil and all our weapons will be used to face only him.
10. Every unbeliever on earth is a potential saint, the devil is the one hindering the sinner from accepting Jesus, he's the one hindering the believer from becoming a saint therefore we are to wage war upon the devil and accuse the devil not the unbeliever, instead of complaining about the acts of the person we are to complain to God about what the devil is doing in his life. We are to protect the unbeliever in prayer till they are saved and break the hold of the devil violently until we win them all from his hands and so the Holy Spirit can convict him/her. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
In essence evangelism is first of all spiritual warfare before speaking the word and after speaking the word.
Side Note: We have an advantage as believers, how? Its Satan and 1/3rd of the fallen Angels versus Us, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and the remaining vast majority of Angels that didn't fall. So be confident but also play your part.
Also Jesus said on the cross "Father forgive them for they don't know what they do" because He knew the devil was behind their actions, hence Jesus even told us to love our enemies knowing fully well that they will hurt us but also knowing our major enemies is not man but evil spirits. Have you lived in bitterness or unforgiveness against you fellow believer or even unbeliever without seeing the devil at work behind ? repent today, forgive and intercede for them.
Closing Remarks:
If you're on this group and you are still not saved i beg you accept Jesus truly today because anyone on the fense in this battle will be easily destroyed by the devil and even God will spew you out because you are lukewarm so who will save you? You see Hell was made for the devil not man and hes bent on making you suffer in eternity with him, don't let him take your soul surrender to Jesus today, no one is guaranteed tomorrow so accept Him today. If you have made up your mind to please say this short prayer and once you do you can be sure you're a child of God and part of a new glorious family:
"Father thank you for your love for me, thank you for seeing me as someone so special that you sent your son Jesus to die for my sins. I confess i am a sinner and i need a Savior, therefore Jesus please have mercy on me and save my soul, wash me clean with your blood and fill me with your Holy Spirit. Please write my name in the book of life lord and at the end let me reign with you in Heaven. I confess i am now born again and a child of God. In Jesus Name Amen."
Also If you were in Christ but have gone back to sin repent today and stop playing Church. He can deliver you from the power of besetting sins as we will discuss tomorrow just make sure you're in His camp.
Some here are suffering from bondage's of the devil and think they can fight him without repenting but the bible says "Submit yourself to God, Resist the devil and he will flee from you"(James 4:7). So you must submit to God first before you can resist the devil, submit to God in mercy today and God will put you enemies under your feet in Jesus Name.
Prayer Points:
1. Father fortify and set ablaze my prayer life in Jesus Name.
2. Father open my eyes to all the ways the devil has been messing up my life and fight on my behalf.
3. Lord open my eyes to see the manipulations of the devil around my family members, church and nation and help me put a stop to it.
4. Lord remove the vail from the eyes of unbelievers and save their souls today in your mercy.
5. Lord grant me a compassionate heart that i may see all believers as my brothers and sisters, as my own body and do all i can to defend them and pray for them and forgive them and pray until Christ is formed in them all.
In Jesus Name we pray Amen.
