Praying Scripturally to Thwart The Kingdom of DarknessChristians could accomplish so much more for the
Kingdom of God if they would only exercise the
authority they have in the Name of Jesus and enforce
the devil's defeat on this earth. The majority of
Christians don't take advantage of the authority in
prayer that belongs to them. If they did, much damage
would be done to the kingdom of darkness and many
souls would be won to God.
Christians can change the political, economic, and
social scenes in cities and nations through scriptural
prayer. Christians can hold back judgment on the
unsaved, giving them more time to hear the gospel and
repent. Whenever God's people take their place in
prayer just as Abraham did for the nations of the world,
they can change things on this earth to the glory of God
and thwart the plans of the enemy in every encounter.
Daniel's Prayer Life: Did Daniel
Make 'War' on the Devil?
In Daniel's prayer life, we find another biblical
example of a covenant man changing the course of
events in a nation through prayer. If Daniel could
change the entire course of the nation of Israel by his
prayers regardless of satanic strongholds, then we need
to see exactly how he prayed. We will find in every
recorded instance that Daniel prayed to God. Not one
time does the Bible say that Daniel 'warred' against the
devil or that he ever dealt directly with principalities
and powers.
The following passages show us Daniel's prayer life.
DANIEL 10:2,3,5,6,12-14
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning [fasting]
three full weeks.
