HOW TO USE YOUR ANGELS

IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE

INTRODUCTION

The Holy Spirit inspired me after deep frustration and searching. I recognized that prayer as I had been taught was more of a hit and miss but not a really clear, concise move as I would read about in the Bible. I often wondered why miraculous occurrences would take weeks, months, and years instead of instantaneous. Yet when I would read and see how Christ and other men and women of God operated, I saw a dichotomy in the results. Prayer as proscribed in the word of God was not only effective but conclusive in itself: deliverance and performance in any given situation. My purpose in writing this book is not to discourage you as a believer but to give you another dimension to assault and conquer the enemy of your soul: The old serpent the devil. As you journey into the various chapters in this book I challenge you to study the scriptures, embrace the illustrations and apply the teachings coupled with the teachings you have already received on Scriptural Warfare. I desire to equip you as a believer and fellow warrior in the army of The Lord to do battle in the Spirit and be victorious in Jesus name.

Chapter One

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND WHO ARE MY ENEMIES

This is a question that most of us have assumed we have the answers to. Let me pose a question to you from Matthew10:1–4. Jesus gives His disciples the power to cast out unclean spirits or demons. Another reference is Mark 3:14–1, I trust you have paused and referenced these two scriptures to establish my point. As we read earlier the disciples were given the authority to cast out devils or demons, but yet in Matthew 17:14–16 they, meaning all of them, were not able to cast out, remove or dislodge the spirit that inhabited the man’s child. My question is why were they not able to dislodge this spirit having been giving the power and authority to do so? The traditional answer is because of unbelief. I beg to differ with you.

I have another question. If they were able to minister and come back to Christ bragging that event the devils are subject to them in Luke 10:17, this was the seventy, not the apostles, was there a different level of anointing or a different level of perception. Let’s go back to Matthew 10. Jesus makes the statement that their kind comes forth only through prayer and fasting, signifying that there are different categories of spirits, demons, evil spirits and principalities, each having its own level of assignment. Demons are like stray dogs that go to and fro with no specific habitation. Evil Spirits inhabit an area, government or person.

Principalities are Fallen Archangels that govern territories and control lineages, curses, atmospheric conditions. Most believers put spirits in one bag and think they are effective in the warfare but are not because they don’t recognize their enemy. The disciples were baffled because they were aware of the authority they were given, but yet they could not deliver this mans son. The reason being is because their perception was wrong, and they used the wrong tools to dislodge the enemy. If there was only one method to do Spiritual Warfare, why would we need to Bind and Loose. If all spirits were demons all we would need to do is cast out and not need perception by fasting and praying to discern what level of spirit we are dealing with. It was Paul who stated by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Brethren I would not have you ignorant concerning spiritual things. In Ephesians 6 there is reference to Spiritual Wickedness in High Places. In the book of 2 Kings 15:34–37 and in 2 Kings it refers to Uzziah and the Israelites not removing the High Places which is referring to the place set aside by the heathen to worship and communicate with spirits. As we progress into this book it will become more and more apparent that surely there are five dimensions in Spiritual Warfare and four different but yet succinct modes to conquer the enemy with and that is by binding, loosing, casting out and removing the works of the devil. The Body of Christ at large has gone to great lengths to do Spiritual Warfare but with only two thirds capacity. We bind, we loose with our mouth, we pull down strongholds with our mouth and hands, we cast out demons with our mouth, but yet we constantly go through the same exercise in the same place at approximately the same time. This does not coincide with the authority and the methods in which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ operated. On the contrary, the scriptures said the work that I do shall you do also and greater works than these. He has given us all power and authority but yet the devil doesn’t leave us for a season and we constantly face the same oppressive satanic forces day in and day out. There are no Scriptures where Jesus had to duplicate Spiritual Warfare in any instance. It is also puzzling to note that there were no instances where spirits fought back or returned to do the same things. Yet Christ has given us all power and authority in His name. Every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. The Body of Christ has boasted of great deliverances being wrought in areas but yet very little supernatural supernatural territorial ground has truly been taken and sustained in comparison to the ground the enemy has infiltrated and taken over for years. Nations who up until recent years, like Haiti, which was dedicated to Satan and controlled for hundreds of years despite great fasting, praying and tremendous intercession, the devil maintained that ground until proper Spiritual Warfare was rendered. That my friend is why God has inspired me to write this book. The Body of Christ at large has a firm grip on casting out demons, devils, but the evil spirits and principalities is where awareness and understanding needs to take place. The job of Satan is to keep the Believer deceived and only fight a third of his forces on a consistent basis. The lowest form of satanic expression is through demonic powers. Jesus drove out demonic spirits, evil spirits and principalities wherever He went and also the devil himself. Yet we are constantly addressing the same forces during our meetings, services and times of intercession. God commands and commissions us to take authority over all works of the devil. That in my understanding does not give ground for compromise. In every instance in Scripture from Joshua and Jericho to Sodom and Gomorrah, whenever God gave the command and if acted upper per His instruction, there was no remnant left and they were annihilated unless otherwise specified. We are commissioned to establish His Kingdom here on earth without compromise. God has enabled us to do that, we have the tools necessary we just have to use them properly. It is my sincere God-given desire to add to your arsenal of Spiritual Warfare tools to totally annihilate and destroy the forces of Satan.

Chapter Two

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Spiritual warfare from the believer’s perspective is aggressive warfare done in the spirit realm, by use of the vocal cords: speaking, commanding, directing the Angels, going into satanic fortifications, and the release of spiritual agents to arrest and annihilate the force of the enemy. The last part of my definition of spiritual warfare has been grossly neglected. Most people have done warfare through intercession and prayer gatherings. Very little has been taught about doing warfare with spiritual agents (angels). This gives greater relevance to the scripture My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. The Greek word for break, demolish. This signifies a gradual slow process but a continuous one. The anointing destroys the yoke it captures and dissolves. It is important to note that satanic forces attack on multiple fronts to create confusion and disarray. We must use all of our tools so that we are not repeating the same battles over and over.

In Biblical times once a city was captured a memorial was placed there and a priest was sent in immediately to establish a government and teach the Law of God. The same thing is true in the spiritual once ground is taken. The Word of God establishes territorial rights and the anointing gives us the ability to establish and erect works for God. Spiritual warfare will exist until the Kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven. We are to strive to drive out the forces of darkness in every arena. Satanic forces are traveling to and fro throughout the earth and in the heavenlies, not in heaven, but in the upper atmosphere. They are also involved under the earth. If we pray and leave out the three areas that the devil operates in we will have only done a portion untouched we will appear to be fighting a losing battle. The devil doesn’t attack the strong, he goes after the weak, untapped, unknown places. It is also important to employ the correct arsenal in your battle. Screaming and shouting without specific direction is an exercise in futility. There was once this phenomenon of flying up into the atmosphere and doing Spiritual Warfare. In theory it made sense but in practicum only two thirds of the spiritual arenas were being attacked. Germaine Copeland wrote a God-inspired series of strong scriptural prayers called Prayers That Avail Much. It has laid a positive foundation to pray scripturally and correct. The forces that we are coming against now have never been permitted to operate until that season. The anointing and the authority that God has released to us is like no other. We are going to privileged to tap into the supernatural like no other generation because of the transfer of authority and the time frame in which we are to operate in this present generation and the generation that will precede us. It is incumbent upon us to study to show ourselves approved unto God. The effectiveness of our warfare is contingent upon prayer application and a solid working knowledge of Scripture. It is important to understand the place that God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, angels, you and I play in Spiritual Warfare. Let’s agree first that God The Father has established and ordained all authority. The authority that Satan has, god allows him to have and God allowed Satan to do what he did, but in the end Job
