For several months we have earnestly asked God for His wisdom as we pray, asking for a strategic, militant way to pray with greater effectiveness. We have been asking this with our hearts focused on a passionate desire for those in the world who relinquished their lives over to Satan to kill, steal from, and destroy the American people, that they would experience both “conviction” and “Satan’s condemnation” as the bitter fruit of their wicked seed, so that repentance might be worked in them. As a result, The Holy Spirit awakened me (Keith) at about 4am one morning with the answer to our fervent request for strategic instructions for the way to pray.
The Holy Spirit came to tell me how we can pray to break the demonic stronghold off of those who are Satan's human accomplices, so that they might repent and come to Jesus Christ. That morning, The Holy Spirit said, "When you pray, command in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, and by His Authority, that all who are the devil's human accomplices, all who occupy seats of authority, elected and otherwise, be turned over to Satan for a season that his condemnation will work repentance in them... that they might call on Jesus Christ's Holy Name and be saved.”
We pray that this testimony and message will serve to encourage you, to fan the flame in your spirit as you are pressing forward to fulfill, with The Holy Trinity, the unique part that you, and only you, are fearfully and wonderfully made to fulfill.
Along with the testimony, and the above command from The Holy Spirit, we want to also share with you the following passages of Scripture that He illuminated to me early that morning as well. These passages have increased my understanding beautifully, reinforcing the way He provided for us to pray. These are Biblical truths concerning the authority that Jesus Christ makes available to us as "Believing Believers", truths that are in God's Holy written Word for imparting to us Jesus Christ's strength, courage, wisdom, peace, and joy for the fulfillment of God's dream in the earth.
In Ephesians 6:11-20 Apostle Paul instructs us to, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open* my mouth boldly*, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
In Matthew 10:7-8 Jesus Christ instructs us, "And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
In Luke 9:1, "Then He (Jesus Christ) called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."
In 1 Corinthians 5:3-5 Apostle Paul guides us, "For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of The Lord Jesus."
In 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Apostle Paul teaches, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."
In John 5:24-27 Jesus tells us, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of The Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as The Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to The Son to have life in Himself; And hath given Him Authority to execute judgment also, because He is The Son of man."
In Mark 1:27 about Authority in Jesus, "And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with Authority commandeth He even the unclean spirits, and they do obey Him."
In Mark 1:21-22 on Authority, "And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the Sabbath day He entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one that had Authority, and not as the scribes."
In Romans 2:13 Apostle Paul teaches us, "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."
In 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 Apostle Paul says, "In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of The Lord Jesus."
In Matthew 28:16-20 The Holy Trinity leads us by example, "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke 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 whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
While in this time of war, in the spiritual and natural realms, we must continuously remind ourselves and those around us that we are, in fact, NOT without “full armor” protection from Satan and his wicked spirits. Nor are we without impenetrable armament and offensive weaponry. God's weaponry and armament are, in fact, what far exceeds anything the enemies of God have available to them. Remember, "where sin abounds, grace does much more abound (see Romans 5:1-21)."
We must remind ourselves to read over and over, and remember, all of the wonder-filled promises that Jesus Christ provides for us in God's Holy written Word, and take time to remind those around us to firmly hold on to those promises. And, as a defining take-away from this message, take note and apply Matthew 18:18-20, "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them."
