Pulling Down Strongholds

 [The purpose is] that through the church the complicated, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere. (‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬ AMP)

In modern warfare; long before the ground forces storm the beachhead of the enemy, something takes place known as battlefield preparation. During the process of 'preparation' the area targeted for assault is thoroughly pounded through systematic aerial and artillery bombardment. 

This assault from the sky helps to ensure that any physical strongholds, entrenchments and defenses are either destroyed or sufficiently weakened prior to the arrival of the ground forces.  Without such sufficient bombardment any ground invasion would either be doomed or suffer much unnecessary casualties. 

We have to understand that we are engaged in a similar war. A war that is being waged constantly in the spiritual realm all around us. This war is intense and the casualties are mounting all around. 

We are facing a battle in which the armies of hell have been entrenched for both centuries and thousands of years. 

You must know that the enemy of your soul will not relent his stranglehold on your life, your family or your city just because you attended some 2 day conference on spiritual warfare somewhere or just because you asked nicely. 

We must become a church that understands the concept Paul speaks of when he wrote the above passage. 

It is the job of the blood bought and fire baptized church to inform the ruling strongholds and demonic principalities and powers that the day of their dominion is over. 

It is our job to enforce the victory of the cross. It is our job to prophesy to these powers over our cities, churches, and families that Jesus is Lord even over them. 

That no longer can they hold our families bondage, no longer can they hold the people in darkness, no longer will they have dominion; because Jesus Christ destroyed their dominion through the power of His cross. 

We are to declare through the power of prophetic intercession that the wickedness of the wicked shall come to an end and every tree not planted by the Father shall be uprooted!

We are to declare the supremacy of the blood of the cross of Christ and the dominion of the Son of God. We are to declare that the Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ. 

This can only be done systematically and persistently through prayer and aerial bombardment of the heavenly realm. When this is consistently done through a unified body of believers through prayer and fasting. The very strongholds that once held entire cities, families, and churches in bondage will crumble.  

Are you serious about experiencing revival? 

Are you serious about seeing bars and abortion clinics close in your city?

Are you ready for war?  

How bad do you want revival?  

There is a move of God coming in which entire neighborhoods will repent and turn from their ways of sin! I see complete strongholds being dismantled and torn down.  I see a move coming in which rehab centers are emptied and bars shut down. 

Are you ready to wage this war! This kind of revival is only birthed through a trevailing womb of prayer and fasting.  

It's time to start prophesing to the principalities and declare the manifold victory of the cross it's time to declare the edict of God to them. 

Jesus said "this kind comes out but by prayer and fasting"
