Prayer renews, empowers, and reanimates the soul, thus empowering you to subdue the intense desires of the flesh by God&#8217;s power through which Satan and his demons operate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prayer enables you to detach yourself from the physical world which is the devil&#8217;s domain by connecting your soul to God. Prayer empowers you to resist Satan and his devices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prayer empowers you to allow the very presence and power of God residing in your spirit to flow and engulf your soul, subsequently in your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!&#8221; (<strong>Matthew 26:41<\/strong>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And pray in the Spirit\u00a0on all occasions\u00a0with all kinds of prayers and requests.\u00a0With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying\u00a0for all the Lord\u2019s people (<strong>Ephesians 6:18<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span id=\"en-NIV-28143\" class=\"text Rom-8-26\">In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.<\/span>\u00a0<span id=\"en-NIV-28144\" class=\"text Rom-8-27\">And He who searches our hearts\u00a0knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes\u00a0for God\u2019s people in accordance with the will of God (<strong>Romans 8:26-27<\/strong>).<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">First, prayer is all about us submitting and humbling ourselves before God in order for Him to have His way in us for His own glory; in other words, prayer is about inviting the Kingdom of God to repel the kingdom of darkness by force. To put it differently, it&#8217;s predicated entirely on God unleashing in our lives the very things found within His sovereign will for us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prayer allows you to invite God Almighty to come and work in you, through you, with you, and for you, so that you can be fully equipped to face and resist the enemy and his deceptive and destructive devices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most importantly, prayer empowers you to do the will of God on this earth. In short, prayer is based on allowing God to be whom He wants to be in our lives by making a big God looks as big as He really is. Prayer is also all about allowing God to occupy the place that He needs to occupy in our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Therefore, the main objective of\u00a0Satan and his evil spirits\u00a0is to stop you from praising and praying to God. Therefore, you must never let the demonic realm to stop, distract, or terrify you while praying.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prayer causes believers to be enveloped with fire and to shine in the spirit world. With the power of Jesus Christ, the prayer of a believer can totally disorganize the concentrated \u201chighly places\u201d and \u201cstrongholds\u201d of occult powers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can have authority but Satanist can still be around you though you are protected by that authority, but you need to seek power. That&#8217;s what they fear the most because a man of prayer is a man of power.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He said: &#8220;Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: &#8216;Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God&#8217;s (<strong>2 Chronicles 20:15<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still (<strong>Exodus 14:14<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You just have to humble yourself before God through prayer by acknowledging your weaknesses and inadequacies by letting Him lead the fight for You with His mighty hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Dear Holy Spirit,\u00a0I do acknowledge that the main obstacle that stands in Your way when it comes to You unleashing and accomplishing Your Christ&#8217;s given mission in my life is me because the devil cannot make me do anything unless I willingly choose to do it.\u00a0My porn addiction is the big issue here. So I can literally shut off Your indwelling presence or render Your presence useless through me with just one foolish decision just as I&#8217;ve always done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I pray that You empower me in order for You to have\u00a0all\u00a0of me so that all Your might and power can be unleashed fully and plainly in my life. It&#8217;s not for personal gain but to advance the glorious Kingdom of the living God through Christ on earth by repelling the kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Holy Spirit, God needs someone to stand in the gap on behalf of those who are being held captive by the enemy. Those who are perishing. And those who choose to settle themselves down or being totally caught up in living a life far below what God wants them to live on the basis of what Christ has achieved on behalf of them on the cross. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Spirit of power and might, the same way Satan is able to empower his followers for the sole purpose of bringing destruction upon humanity, You are able to empower those in Christ to counteract his destructive agenda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Christ cannot stand by and just watch what the enemy is doing in\u00a0people&#8217;s lives as a result of sin while the power of God that is all-sufficient to break his power over their lives is readily available through You (<strong>Luke 4:18<\/strong>). Someone has to do something about that.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Therefore, I&#8217;m willing to make a big difference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Since it all starts with the kind of life that I&#8217;m living before God; thereby, I genuinely humble myself before You Spirit of God in order for You to help me overcome my greatest and biggest struggles in life which are porn addiction, bitterness, unfaithfulness, and negligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I recognize You as a divine person as well as the very embodiment of the power of God upon mankind. I recognize that apart from Your indwelling presence, there&#8217;s absolutely nothing that I can do that will ever satisfy Christ. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I&#8217;ve chosen to come out of self-will to God&#8217;s will. I&#8217;ve chosen to come out of my own human weaknesses and inadequacies to God&#8217;s infinite power. In short, I&#8217;ve chosen to come out of my own humanity to God&#8217;s devine way of doing things. Therefore, I rely on You for empowerment, guidance, strength, and provision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I need Your might and power so that my prayers can be very powerful, effective, deep, result-producing, and life-changing (<strong>James 5:16<\/strong>). Prayer that can empower me to mortify and overcome and subdue the wicked, evil, and out of control deeds of the flesh. Prayer that will empower me to live a Spirit-filled life or Your own life Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prayers that will destroy the sinful or evil forces driving me into sin as well as keeping me in bondage indefinitely. In other words, the power of sin or the evil forces operating behind every sinful habit. Prayers that will transform the heart of stone that I have toward You when finding myself being open to give in to sin as well as when I&#8217;m living in sin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prayers that will help me to better deal with that stupid or foolish tendency that I have to just ignore You at any cost as though You had never been present in my life. <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Or as though Your indwelling presence has no importance at all in my life. Holy Spirit, that&#8217;s irreverence at its best. Thus, I confess that sinful attitude right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Spirit of Christ, I fully understand that I&#8217;m not fighting against people but against Satan and his army of fallen angels and demons. I pray that You empower me to pray in such a way that can totally shake the core foundation of the kingdom of darkness. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I pray that You enable my prayers to do what the enemy never wants to happen to his kingdom. I pray that You enable my prayers to inflict far more damages than he expects or he&#8217;s able to handle. Prayers that will drop fire that consumes fire, fire that has no antidote upon the kingdom of Satan. Prayers that can destroy all types of armors the enemy has to protect himself. Prayers that will turn the darkness world upside down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prayers that will deliver a crushing, fatal, devastating, and irreversible\u00a0blow to the kingdom of darkness. Prayers that will create deep, massive, and widespread confusion into the enemy\u2019s camp. Prayers that will scatter the enemy all over the place. Prayers that will completely destroy the works of the devil in my life and in other people\u2019s lives as well as deflecting his relentless attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prayers that will inflict serious injury on the devil and his army of fallen angels and demons. Prayers that will totally deplete the strength and power of the enemy just as it happened during the resurrection of Christ, which is the greatest display of God&#8217;s infinite power manifested through You since You\u2019re the true Spirit of power and might. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">No evil forces can withstand Your infinite power. Your power is so immense to the extent that Satan has no right to operate where You&#8217;re operating unless he has some legal right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prayers that will make Satan and his army of fallen angels and demons feel very afraid, uncomfortable, frustrated, annoyed, injured, and flee. And prayers that will empower me to resist temptation by shaming and renouncing the enemy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prayers that will help me to better deal with the enticement of Satan, which solicits the passion of the flesh. Most importantly, prayers that will enable me to bend my own will to God&#8217;s Word, so that only His will can be done in my life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prayers that will empower the very part of me that needs to be empowered, so that I can live the type of victorious, liberated, redeemed, sanctified, and fulfilled life God desires me to live through Christ Jesus in Your own power and might dear Holy Spirit. In Jesus mighty name I pray, amen.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Satan&#8217;s Order To His Agents<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You must keep God&#8217;s children from fasting and praying. When they fast, their spirit expands, develops, and becomes great.<\/p>\n<p>Fasting and prayer are the foods of the spirit and the soul.<\/p>\n<p>Fasting and prayer cause the growth and development of the spirit of God&#8217;s children. It causes the spirit to grow in size and in proportion in the unseen world.<\/p>\n<p>Beloved, when we pray, we grow in spirit.<\/p>\n<p>However, when we purify ourselves and dedicate ourselves in prayer, our soul maintains the same size but it becomes radiant and brightening.<\/p>\n<p>It is our spirit that expands and develops beyond the normal size of human.<\/p>\n<p>God&#8217;s children develop in height and width when they fast. Prayer is an act of war against the kingdom of Satan.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever God&#8217;s children pray, they become fiery. Whenever, the people of God pray, the fire of God comes down from heaven upon them.<\/p>\n<p>The fire causes thunders, bombardments, and explosions in the second and first heaven.<\/p>\n<p>The more you pray, the more fire that comes upon you. The more thunders, bombardments, and explosions there are.<\/p>\n<p>When you pray the spirit world comes under attack.<\/p>\n<p>You must use Scripture when you pray.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer moves the spiritual world and submit the power of darkness to its authority.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Appearance Of A Prayerful Christian<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each time you say Jesus in your prayer, you are heaping hot coal of fire upon (witches nearby). Such individuals will be greatly disturbed each time you mention the name of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A prayerful Christian has a protective shield around him. Outside the shield is fire. That fire will encircle that individual. Both the shield and that fire will not allow the things of this world to attract this Christian. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It will not allow the things of this world to draw him away from the Lord.\u00a0The more the Christian prays, the wider, the more dangerous, and the more consuming the firing furnace becomes. That fire is known as the fire of God; therefore, it is a fire that consumes fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Oftentimes, that Christian won&#8217;t know what he\/she has but those deeply in the occult will be able to see it.<\/p>\n<p>They will turn away and take another route just to avoid coming across such believer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">This fire was a woman of prayer. She has been praying for 6 months.\u00a0During that time, there were no accidents in the city of Douala.

That woman was capable of imposing an embargo and restriction in the spirit realm\u00a0in the whole city for 6 months. No occultism and witchcraft was allowed as a result.\u00a0Consequently, no satanist could do anything. They were powerless and defeated. She took control of the<br \/>\nwhole territory.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span id=\"en-NIV-29234\" class=\"text Eph-2-4\">But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,<\/span> <span id=\"en-NIV-29235\" class=\"text Eph-2-5\">made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions\u2014it is by grace you have been saved.<\/span> <span id=\"en-NIV-29236\" class=\"text Eph-2-6\">And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly places (far above principalities and powers) in Christ Jesus (<strong>Ephesians 2:4-6<\/strong>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Christians should therefore realize where they are seated.
