Breaking Strongholds in Cities: Prayer Note #127


 Dutch Sheets tells us, "Abraham successfully interceded for a city (see Gen. 18:22); Moses for a nation (see Exod. 32:8-14). 

   Exiles from Jerusalem were told to intercede for the cities they now lived in ( see Jer. 29:7). 


   We are told in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that our prayers and lifestyles can cause healing for a nation. 


    Ecclesiastes 9:15 and Proverbs 21:22 inform us that wisdom can deliver a city and bring down strongholds.


   Without question, God is releasing an anointing to lay siege to cities and nations to take them for him!


   He is equipping us to 'spy out' the enemy's plans and stronghold, 'ambushing' him in the spirit. 


   We are the Melchizedek order of priesthood prophesied in Psalm 110. 


   We're a priestly army, stretching forth the scepter of our conquering hero, ruling in the midst of our enemies. 


   Come on, join us!


   For those who are serious about city taking, Peter Wagner's book, Breaking Stronghold in Your city, contains a wealth of information.


   In it, Victor Lorenzo tells of the three-year plan to evangelize the city of Resistencia, Argentina." 


   [In his book, Victor tells specifically where they went, what they did, and the amazing outcome.]


   "The public image of the evangelical church improved greatly by gaining respect and approval from political and social leaders...


   That is the watchman anointing! We can impact our cities and nations through intercession. 


   We can lay siege to them, taking them for God.   

 
   Strongholds of darkness can become strongholds of light."

Biblical Virtues to pray for your kids:#2 Growth in grace. "I pray that my children may grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" 2 Peter 3:18

Our Scripture for today: Ps. 23: 4-6  "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You  prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."  (NKJV)

Today’s quote:  Oswald Chambers - The only way to understand the Scriptures is not to accept them blindly, but to read them in the light of a personal relationship to Jesus Christ. [Aug. 15, pg. 471, of his Devotions for MORNING and EVENING with Oswald Chambers]
