generalized, taking hold of the victory of Calvary. The topic of believers’ spiritual authority is explored as well as internal and external spiritual battlegrounds with one learning to recognize the enemy and his many strategies. By the end of the seminar day, each person will have developed a personal prayer map. Stunning answers to prayer are the result.

Wrytzen. Everyone asks, “What is Prayer Mapping?” Prayer mapping teaches one to target issues in prayer in ways that are more specific and individualized than
RESPONSE FROM A PARTICIPANT Would you like to take your prayer life to a new level? That is what Personal Prayer Mapping can do for you. Based on a step-by-step strategy developed by Christine Wyrtzen, Personal Prayer Mapping begins by prayerfully selecting Legal Foundations—stating a Scripture to illustrate what God can do. One example is 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and self-discipline.” The next step is to prayerfully consider the question, Where is the enemy already at work? An example: Fear and anxiety that a woman does not know others and has reluctance to share private thoughts. The final step is to write down a plan to subdue the enemy. Again, prayer is the key that unlocks the power of this step. An example, “I pray against lies that the enemy attempts to plant in a woman’s
mind that create fear or anxiety and ask the Holy Spirit to give her a spirit of power, love, and self-control to connect with other women.” Finally, as an added bonus, a woman can consider ending her prayer map with a prayer based on Scripture. An example, pray for spiritual strength for women as they overcome fear. “And we pray all of this in order that women might live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1: 10). Personal Prayer Mapping probably can be best epitomized by words spoken by theprophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 23:29: "Is not My word like fire (that consumes all that cannot endure the test)?" says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock (of most stubborn resistance)?" (The Amplified Bible).
