Strategy of our Warfare
“Father, since Satan is not omnipresent or omniscient, how is he so effective in his war over the nations? “Jacobs, Cindy asked
Answer: The Lord spoke this word to her: strategy. The enemy has a strategy for every nation and ministry and his army does not rest from the battle.
I am sure many of us are already aware of that. When things seem to go so well in our lives, suddenly, a major issue appears from nowhere, and we cannot explain the source.
As we prayed right at the beginning in late 2021 concerning Prayers for Kenya, the Lord gave us this strategy, that we continue to follow until the Holy Spirit says otherwise. We must have a strategy to overcome satan’s strategy, and we need to follow that strategy. Our God is a God of order and strategy. We look at the creation and the precision it operates, and marvel at the way the creator designed it. The enemy copied this order and follows the same.
As people following our Lord, we must also be strategic and orderly and below was what we received as we waited on Him:
Format of our prayers:
- January 2022
Personal cleansing, we must all be ready to obey the Lord, we must stand by the Word and listen to the Holy Spirit. A warfare can only be won by being well dressed, fully armoured, having the right team on your side, following the commands of your leaders to the word and dying to self for the sake of the mission. We must all position our hearts right with the Lord, no deceit, no unforgiveness, no gossip, only what He says comes from our mouths, no strife, no competition, or anything else that glorifies the enemy.
Psalms 66:18-If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
We come in a state of humility, as He hates the proud and lifts the humble. We must be teachable as we come in His presence. Repent for our own pride and the pride of our people.
- February 2022
Praise and worship. He dwells in the praises of His people. He comes any time we spend time in thanksgiving, worship and praise. Let’s be comfortable just being in worship. We may come at times and just worship him for 2 hours and go, without any requests… just lifting Him up… and that will be okay. Our Daddy desires the company of His children… not just asking…asking…asking… always.
Psalm 22:3 But You are holy, O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].
- March 2022
Bringing down all the evil: demolish all principalities, powers, and strongholds.
Luke 10:19- I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
1John 3:b..The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
Ephesians 6:10-12
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Jeremiah 1:10: “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.”
We are not only to tear down; we are also to build and plant.
- April 2022 and thereafter: Raise, call forth, the things we want to see in our nation, using all the strategies God has given us, of repentance, worship, using the name and the Blood of Jesus and sharing Holy communion together, Binding the enemy and his works and releasing the miracles of God among other strategies. As we wait on the Holy Spirit, He will continue to give us more tools to combat the enemy and raise up altars of worship in our homes and nation.
John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will also do; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
