* and more resources

These notes have been collected from years of practical application, personally and from several others, including Henry Gruver, Derek Prince, and John Ramirez.

There is no substitute for following the direction of the Lord Y'shua haMashiach in the moment, according to the working of and inspiration of the holy spirit.

If you feel the least bit uncomfortable about an item below - don't pray it.

I) Praise and Thanksgiving:

A) Give Thanks!

Press in and seek The Lord's good pleasure concerning praying, praising, and singing in tongues.

  1. Praise
  2. Worship
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. 5 For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. 6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
Psalm 27:4-6
12 O our God, will you not execute judgment on them? For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you. 22 And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.
2 Chronicles 20:12, 22
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.
Acts 16:25-26

A sample intercessory prayer:

Father, I thank you for the honor and privilege to be here now and to be able to stand in the gap for my brothers and sisters. Father, I plead the power of the shed blood, body, mind, and spirit of Jesus Christ on the bodies, minds, and spirits of (list those for whom you are interceding).

Spiritual Warfare - Recommended Resources

Aaron put together an excellent list of recommended resources for learning about spiritual warfare, including mp3 audio and video online and books.

While these resources are valuable, the most important thing is simply this - begin now, praying and devoting yourself to prayer. The Lord of Hosts is able to train you as you learn to humbly follow His command. Men and women, be attentive to the commands about head covering in 1 Corinthians 11. The wise and humble know full well that obedience is not optional. In this late hour, we implore you to engage in defensive and even offensive warfare on behalf of yourself and your family and associates, and those who are, like yourself, being inspired to take your place in the battle lines.
