HOW TO FIGHT BACK


“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” (II Corinthians 10:4)

Can you see what Satan is doing? He seeks to steal, kill, and destroy us.  He wants us to be so crippled with fear of Covid-19 that we hide in our homes and isolate ourselves. He is trying to destroy the church and divide us as a nation.

People seem to think the only way we get justice is to protest, and riot, and change this law or elect someone new to the office, but these are all weapons of our flesh. As children of God, we should understand that this is not a war we will win with carnal weapons. It is a spiritual battle! We must pray for the unity of God's people? We must pray against the devils plans to destroy the church, our nation and establish his New World Order? The devil is hiding in plain sight, and so far, his plans seem to be working, but we can thwart the enemy’s plans with our unified prayers. They are our most powerful weapons. Your prayers are more powerful than you think, and the devil knows it!

Imprecatory Prayer is a theological term. The word “imprecatory” is derived from “imprecation”, which is a synonym for “curse”. It is the word for prayer that attacks and seeks to destroy its object. It is, in fact, the Christian equivalent of putting a curse on something (never on someone). The furthest we can go in that direction as Christians is to pray for justice. In some cases, such as the death of Herod in Acts 12, the death of a person or people may well be the result, but we must not seek it (Luke 9:54-56). We should pray for the end of the evil we are attacking, and pray for the forgiveness, and salvation, of those who are involved in it. 

There are many Biblical examples of it, especially in the Book of Psalms. Imprecatory prayer is highly effective for stopping evil, and for that reason is something that every Christian should learn to do. With this type of praying, we can aggressively attack enemy targets and destroy them and simultaneously bringing many people to salvation and also bringing revival.
