Disengaging the Enemy

READ: Matt 17: 14-21
MORE LESSONS : Ezra 8:21-23
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Philippians 1-4

Today I want to give you some weapons for disengaging the enemy and enforcing victory in any situation. Prayer is a weapon of mass destruction on the camp of the enemy. I believe that by prayer you can change night to day. When everything has failed, prayer will get the job done. Although Jesus is God, He always took time to pray while on earth and each time He stepped out of the place of prayer, something happened. When you add fasting to prayers, then things begin to happen at a high level. There are certain spiritual matters concerning which you won't get anywhere until you have engaged the power of fasting; this is a tested fact. No wonder Jesus started ministry only after 40 days of fasting and prayer. Another weapon is speaking in tongues. It is a powerful tool for disengaging the enemy. Many think speaking in tongues is a religious act to be done only in church or when believers are gathered around them. No, praying in the Holy Ghost is a weapon anywhere, anytime. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, fire is emitted out of you and that gets the whole kingdom of darkness confused.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matt 3:11. The devil does not understand tongues because it is a direct interaction between you and God. When you engage speaking in tongues, you are not in charge anymore, the Spirit begins to instruct you on what has to be done about the situation. When matters are confusing and there seems to be no direction anymore, just go ahead and pray in the Holy Ghost. I was in a meeting where after we had prayed, sang and done everything, it looked as if the heavens were closed with brass. You could feel in the atmosphere that the presence of God was absent. When I was called up, I said, 'Lord, what do we do now? By inspiration, I said, 'Every one begin to pray in the Holy Ghost and if you can't speak in tongues just shout, ''The Blood of Jesus''. By the time we entered into that dimension of praying in tongues, a reknown deaf and dumb boy in the village joined us to speak in tongues. We brought him out and he started speaking in tongues into the microphone, then the whole meeting went into an uproar. People ran out of the meeting, went to their houses to call others and the whole atmosphere changed. Next time when all things seem hopeless and confusing, just open your mouth and pray in the Holy Ghost. It is not just ordinary speaking, it is fire!

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to baptise you with the Holy Ghost afresh.
* Ask God to rekindle His Spirit upon you in a double fold.
* Command every enemy's position in your life to be terminated today.
