Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Simple Guide to Spiritual Warfare

By Cheryl Bacon

There are constant battles that we face on a daily basis, but there is a method designed by God that puts you in authority. It is called, Spiritual Warfare! God has given us divine stratagems and tactics to fight against the forces of darkness and win every time, as the scriptures notes, “Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19). My brothers and sisters, this does not mean that you will never suffer loss, heartache, sickness or pain, but it does allow you to walk out of the fire, not even smelling like smoke! God has declared that he has given us power, anointing and authority to overthrow Satan’s kingdom by exposing the hidden secrets of hell’s structure! You no longer have to be afraid, because you have just been given the weapons to dismantle, disarm and disengage the adversaries power! If you feel like you are fighting a losing battle, come on and journey with me as we lock and load and man our battle stations and wreak havoc against our adversary. God is in the foxhole fighting with you and for you!

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

To my son Corrie and my daughter Cierra,

Thank you for allowing me to spend countless hours developing my prayer life. You have walked through the valley of the shadow of death with me and held my hand every step of the way. Even when you did not know what to say, You were present! I will never forget you getting mad because I would burst in your room praying all times of night. My response will always be, Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, don’t burn the bridge that brought you over, and don’t kick the knees that prayed you through! I love you both from the bottom of my heart to the balcony of my soul! As I always tell you, "We don’t get to pick what family we are in! May God continue to keep you, and may you never forget the power of a praying mother!"

To my six spiritual brothers Byron, Taylor, Terry, Rommel, Jeffrey, and Wesley,

I am so grateful for your kindness as you allowed me fifteen wonderful years of intercession with your mother, Apostle Ethel Mitchell.

To my sister Wanda,

You have been my sounding board and voice of reason. Thank you for always taking the time to listen to the messages, prayers, and encouraging words. Even though you are the eldest, you still remain open for Godly advice! I love you, sis!

What can I say to you and about you, Mary Anita (Sissy) Reid?

My love for you is like the love Jonathan had for David. You have been my spiritual anchor, prayer partner, teacher, and best friend for over twenty-three years. As God told us in prayer, we are spiritual twin towers and heavy hitters. Like, I told you, we will always remain friends because you know too much about me! May God continue to use you for his glory and may the anointing on your life continue to impact nations!

To the late Apostle Ethel Mitchel,

Words cannot express how grateful I am for your spiritual footing that was steeped in prayer. You have developed me into the prayer warrior and intercessory that I am today. I recall the shut-ins, prayer vigils, fasting, and casting out demons as we walked the streets of Lithonia, Decatur, Atlanta, and Florida and witnessed to countless lost souls until our feet hurt. Your hunger for the presence of God has been and will continue to be my motivational drive. Thank you for being the example of true righteousness and holiness. You did not have a prayer life but a life of prayer! I miss and love you very much!

To first spiritual father, mentor, and leader Bishop Keith Young,

After over eighteen years of walking side by side with you as one of the house prophetess, elder and leader, I have learned that hearing the voice of God requires that I stay close. Thank you for pushing me out my comfort zone and stretching me beyond my limits. You saw things in me that only God could have shown you. Thank you for trusting the God in me! I love you with the love of the Lord!

My leaders Apostle Travis Jennings and Pastor Stephanie Jennings,

Never in my life did I think of writing a book of this caliber. Your strategic and cutting-edge leadership and ministry has caused me to go where I could only dream of. Thank you for that extra push, encouraging words of prophesy that allowed me to launch out into the deep! Thank you for the impartation and apostolic investment into the kingdom of God! May the Lord continue to use you for the upbuilding of his kingdom and glory! I am excited to see what God has to say next! I love you both!
