Fighting the Good Fight

Fighting the good fight requires faith. To win spiritual battles, we must believe we will win. When we maintain faith in the battle, standing our ground with a mindset of peace, we will be victorious. When God created the world, He spoke everything into existence. This is our first example of faith demonstrated through the power of the spoken Word. God’s Word gets its power through the love that is in God. Fear is an enemy that shatters the shield that protects us from the poison darts of Satan.

When the King of Syria was attempting to destroy Israel, he was defeated by words spoken in prayer. In like manner, we can take authority over spiritual wickedness with words spoken in faith through scripturally based, warfare prayer. The enemy is jealous of God and His creation. He continually attempts to imitate and falsify what God has already set in place from the foundation of the world. We see information warfare in our world like never before. So many lies and deceptions are constantly being put out in the atmosphere through every type of media. These words will attempt to affect our emotions to invoke anger and shame, but God’s Word is more powerful than any lie. Therefore, our lives, words, and actions must be founded in God’s Word. To live in victory, our lives must be governed by principles, not emotions. The spoken Word of God has the power to open the eyes of the blind. It can blind the enemy and send confusion into the enemy’s camp.

When the armies of the enemy were closing in, Elisha never wavered in his faith. He assured his servant that there was more fighting for them than were fighting for the enemy. “Then Elisha prayed and said, ‘Lord, please, open his eyes that he may see.’ And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha” (II Kings 6:17 AMP). Then Elisha prayed again, asking God to blind those the enemy (King of Assyria) had sent. Elisha led those who were blinded to Samaria, and prayed God would open their eyes. Elisha spoke against King Jehoram’s desire to kill the captives. Instead he told him to feed them. After a great feast, these marauding bands did not come to Israel again. There are those who have been blinded by the god of this world who need to be fed spiritual things, God’s Word, and His Gospel. Those who have been blinded by the enemy have been drawn into violence with provoking words. They are pawns used by the enemy to further an antichrist agenda. This generation needs to be fed truth. Prayer can change these, and future generations.

Pray:

• That the eyes of those deceived be opened, and they would be drawn by God’s Spirit.
• For a faithless generation to come in contact with those who can speak truth and love into their lives.
• To bind the spirit of the antichrist and loose the Revelation of the Mighty God in Christ.

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away” (Luke 21:33 AMP).

Prayer Can Help Us Overcome the

Battle and Warfare Over the Mind

According to the Word of God, prayer can help us overcome the battle and warfare over the mind.

Please use the following points to guide you in prayer:

• Pray that we make the right choices. Satan convinced Eve it was harmless to look at the fruit on the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but just don't touch it. She recorded in her brain the images of the fruit before she ever ate it. The brain records everything it sees iconically and episodically. The Devil changed Eve's choices by changing her appetites.
• Pray that we have the right appetites. The recorded images produced an appetite in Eve. The images were recorded while she felt safe letting down her moral filtering system. The appetite eventually overrode her obedience to God's Word causing her to alter her choices. She even felt justified.
• Pray that we view and dwell on the right images. Eve misquotes God in Genesis 3:3 saying she wasn’t supposed to touch the fruit. This denotes it's alright to look and record the harmless image but don't touch the fruit. The devil was really saying it's not harmless to allow the mind to keep dwelling, staring or meditating on biblically harmful and toxic things. Satan uses images and thoughts like spyware and malware to a computer for your brain. So these thoughts and images lay dormant. They pop up later to harm the computer (the mind) and its hard drive. So it is with the mind and thoughts. The Devil is a suggester of thoughts. He can recall images like he did Eve to twist God's Word, in you to disobey it because of image appetites. He repopulates like algorithms your thoughts to cause biblical disobedience.
• Pray that we have the right thoughts in our minds. Your mind is not the devil's playground. You do have a choice to your thoughts (I Corinthians 10:3-6).

The World Network of Prayer Presents 

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2023, WNOP has continued the 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide. It has been such a great success in 2022 that it was requested again. Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also, weekly a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer.

Many people throughout the world have signed up by committing in their hearts unto God that they will consistently join together in united prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering over the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”
