Discouragement. Hopelessness. Overwhelm.

They may be coming at you right now.

However...

Their warfare is happening out of sight.

In the theater of the mind.

As prayer eagles well know, the warfare we are facing is on 3 levels:

1. External enemies e.g. satan and his cohorts
2. Mind manipulation and domination
3. Fleshly, carnal level.

Of the 3, the mind warfare is the most subtle.

That's why I was so delighted to see a post forwarded from the Forum today.

(Hat tip to eagle-eyed Prayer Advisor Rose for bringing it to my attention).

Catherine B recently transitioned from the 21-Day Forum to the main Eagles' Forum.

Though she has only been there for a short while...

... she was quick to discern an insidious attack.

She shared her insights for countering such an attack:

==

"No soldier can delegate their battle to someone else"

"It is only yesterday that i fully understood that the battle we are in is for real and a full time one. 

The devil and his agents do not sleep, they are always planning mischief against us, so if they do not sleep, why should we God's children sleep for the entire 24, 12 or even 8 hours straight. 

(Yes some people are spiritually asleep 24 hours).

So whenever my alarm goes off and my spirit is busy negotiating with the blanket, i am reminded that a crucial decision may be made against me in the spiritual realm. 

This encourages me to wake up and fight for myself. No soldier can delegate their battle to someone else. We have to be there for ourselves. 

What also makes me happy is that my prayer bullets are the machine gun i hold against the enemy so i cant be holding a serious gun and leave it idle in the house. 

I must use it and use it effectively. 

(Picture yourself holding a machine gun slackly like a small handbag!!!!, the enemy would finish you in a minute. So when you fire your bullets fire them with enough strength to shatter whatever is in your path. 

Use the scorched earth policy (do a search about this) and burn everything in your path so that they will never get a chance to rise up.)"

Beautiful.

Did you catch this part:

"whenever...my spirit is busy negotiating with the blanket"

There is serious warfare going on right there.

The 3 sisters from hell are out in full force.

Their assignment is to STOP you from getting up to fire your machine gun!

In your mind they will be going full throttle with questions like:

1. Things are getting worse, even as you pray. Why not just give up?

2. This will never work for you - they might work for someone else. Why bother?

3. There is no hope. Your problems will never be solved. Are you sure God is even hearing your prayers?

On and on it goes.

They will even arrange for you to see these questions (and worse) as soon as you log on to social media or the Internet.

Someone will be there to echo these same thoughts.

If you are not sensitive in the spirit and give in at this stage you have lost the battle.

What's the solution?

Have a ready made response like Catherine does.

Also... learn from what happened to me recently.

Few days ago I was online when a newsflash popped up.

It said a certain EU president was declaring what he calls the "end of abundance" as he attempts to prepare the citizens of Europe for difficult times ahead.

As soon as I read the words "end of abundance" it triggered a verse of scripture in my mind.

To counter and neutralize it.

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up - Job 22:29

This was immediate and automatic.

What do you think I did after that?

I turned the verse into a prayer bullet and declared that instead of the so-called end of abundance, the people of God will experience a new "beginning of abundance" ...

... as the divine wealth transfer agenda gathers steam all over the earth.

In effect, I just cancelled the ominous words of a pagan president by declaring the eternal word of God against it.

I totally rejected his thesis, reasoning and perspective.

And guess what?

Those predictions of doom and gloom will never come near me and mine.

Think about this for a second...

Where did that scripture come from and why that moment?

The mind is a brutal theater of war.

A powerful battle for domination and control is raging as you read this.

>> We are winning as you can see here

As you feed your mind daily with the word of God, you will be armed with the weapons to defeat any and all enemies battling to seize control of your mind.

At the instant you need it, the Holy Spirit will pop the right scriptural weapon into your mind.

That becomes a "rhema" word which you should immediately deploy to counter the satanic attack on your mind.

This is why we "push" you to study the scripture daily.

Whether you feel like it or not.

It will come in handy when you least expect it.

It could even save your life or the life of your loved ones someday.

You've heard me say this before...

Scripture is the gun.

Prayer is the bullet.

This is no fairy tale.

If you catch the revelation, God bless you!

**  TO EAGLES OF THE SAPPHIRE FORUM  **

Congratulations.

Tonight we change the realm of our prayers.

Soon we embark on prayers for the younger generation.

Our goal is to kill the joy of the enemy over the lives of our children and youths.

Tonight we double down with the opening prayers.

This year's prayers are super-aggressive.

Why are we praying HARDER than ever before?

Because the enemy has stepped up the warfare against the human race.

Especially against out youths ... and particularly against the nuclear family.

Participating in such prayer exercise has the added benefit of ...

... turning you from a weak, helpless victim ...

(that the devil and his cohorts can beat black and blue at any time)

... to a true Prayer Eagle, even a Mad Prophet, as fast as possible.

Because at that level you become a VDP.

VDP means --

Very Dangerous Person... in the spirit.

When you get to that level your enemies will really think twice before accepting any evil assignment against you...

OR your marriage.

OR your finances.

OR even your loved ones.

OR your ministry.

The Forum is the LORD's 21st-century secret weapon for turning ordinary, previously-lukewarm  believers into VDPs as fast as possible.

The moment you reach VDP status, people around you will notice (and they will be trooping to you for spiritual advice and help).

The scripture will become an everyday reality in your life:

"As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves to me. The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places."

Onward.

Be an Overcomer
