THE ART OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
We are ambassadors proclaiming doctrines of God that are extremely offensive to the world (Ephesians 6:18-20). God not only has given us the privilege to pray but the power to pray. When we draw near the throne of grace boldly with all confidence, we will receive mercy and find grace to help us in times of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Satan hates prayer because he
knows that it is in prayer that our union, the work of the Holy Spirit, and our armor is all appropriated. As you move forward in this study, keep in mind the four keys to success. Use them with the wisdom and insight of the Lord and you will open the doors to freedom in ways that you never thought were possible. PRAYER OF VICTORY Dear Abba Father, I lift Your holy name up in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord. I praise You that Satan is a defeated enemy. I take great joy in the fact that Jesus accomplished Satan’s defeat by giving up His life on the cross. I appropriate Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, and ascension for incorporation into in my daily living. I look forward to the day that Satan is bound to the bottomless pit for eternity. I rejoice that You, the King of kings, Lord of lords, give me perfect unity and victory over the enemy today.
