Introduction

There is a new energy being shared out among the Christian community. We are being awakened from our lukewarm faith, being good people but not speaking up for the Body of Christ.

God wants us to share our testimonies and to be beacons in the world. 

Revelations 12:11

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

We understand the goal of our mission even though we do not know the path. What we know is to obey and to speak and share when and what God inspires us to.  We are not dissuaded, distracted or concerned with notoriety, a huge church building, or being accepted or understood by everyone. We know that the message will be heard by people who are ready to hear it.

Not everyone is ready to hear it. They are comfortable in their lives because the world has been good to them. They love the pleasures of the flesh, the food and indulgences. Why complicate things? But they are in a fog. It is an illusion. Our enemy the devil is an expert at illusions. When you have everything that you need, why would you need to call on God, or have faith for anything? You are powerful and influential enough that you can get and do anything you want.

Matthew 5:3

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

Who are the poor in spirit? They are people who respect God and His work with humility, and who  obey God’s word, and his inspirations.

Jude 1:9

When the archangel Michael fought against the devil, and disputed about the body of Moses, he did not dare insult him, but simply said, May the Lord rebuke you! Not so, these people, they insult and scorn what they cannot understand; what they know by instinct, like animals, they use for their corruption. Woe to them! They follow the footsteps of Cain, and like Balaam, go astray, because of money: they will, finally perish, like the rebellious Korah.

We are neither passive, or aggressive, we are not afraid, and we do not use force. We are relentless in focus, but know how to pause, regroup and strategize. We know how to wait on the probing of the Holy Spirit. We understand timing because we know our God is putting an intricate plan in place that includes putting other players around the world in strategic situations and bringing them to the correct level of enlightenment.

We fight in the spirit, not because we are afraid but because the war is not in the flesh, it is won in the spiritual realm. We are a quiet wind and our prayers can be a raging storm when needed. We are the water from the side of Christ, seeping through the cracks that are impenetrable by force, but easy for water to enter. We are the blood of Christ, powerful. We are the fire of the Holy Spirit, a force to reckon with, light to the world, warmth to the naked and poor, a torch for the lost, and a blazing fire to burn the altars of hell.

We are taking the territory back by exposing  the strategies  in the enemy's playbook. We know the enemies plan to defame, destroy and kill to blaspheme all that God created and to undermine the sacrifice of our savior Jesus Christ. But we know how the story ends, we are victorious. It is our duty to reclaim the territory and the lives that the enemy pursues.

We will study to recognize the schemes and systems in place.

We will look at patterns and behaviors  to discover if we are acting unknowingly as evil’s pawns. We will learn how to pray  fervently to pull down strongholds  in our families, lives, neighborhoods, schools, and organizations.

We can create a better world and be co-creators with God if we choose to evolve and progress as spiritual beings. We must gain control of our thoughts, our words, flesh, and our desire to be worldly, then join the prayer war to pull down strongholds and begin to rescue our sisters and brothers and children.

Chapter One

The Importance of Territory

The territory is where you have legal rights and your power. It is the area that you have claimed through good works, helping others and prayer for Jesus. Because of your good work you have created a holy area for the Holy Spirit to operate freely. Territory is gained by the sanctity of the homes and buildings in the area filled with people who believe in Jesus Christ.

When more of God’s people reside on one street each home is a boundary that pushes evil out. When you function out of your territory you function without grace and are susceptible to a barrage of enemy attacks. If it is enemy territory, no matter how strong your faith, you will be relentlessly attacked because you are vulnerable without additional prayer warrior companions.

The spiritual powers of evil always take the
