I. PRAYER: AN OFFENSIVE WEAPON
A. UNDERSTAND THERE IS A WAR AND YOU ARE IN IT
First, we have to understand the only reason we know there is a Spiritual war taking place is because God choose to reveal it to us through the prophets in the Bible. Without the revelation of scripture, we would be blind to this battle. Therefore, to understand this war, we need to see what scripture says, and not rely on our feelings and emotions. Again, understanding the Spiritual War requires revelation from God, so its understandable the world would be skeptical of such a conflict.
1. How do we know there a spiritual war taking place? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. How can we understand this war? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Why would the world be skeptical of such a conflict? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Secondly, the Bible tells us, there is an invisible realm, which is distinct from our physical realm. Our physical world is in many ways under the power this spiritual world. Much of the evil in the world is direct result of this unseen war. The number personalities involved in this conflict, are huge, they involve both the forces of Satan composed of fallen angels and of God, along with His angels. This battle is played out in the realm of humanity, the physical world.
4. What is most of the evil in the world the result of? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________
According to scripture, the target of this battle is the souls of humanity, (I Peter 5:8-9), and the battlefield is in mind of humanity, blinding them from the truth, that they perish without salvation.
3But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are
perishing, 4
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who
ALL MANNER OF PRAYER Prayer: An Offensive Weapon
studyintheword.org Page 4
do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine on them. 2 Corinthians
4:3-4
5. What is the target of this battle? _____________________________________________________
This is the conflict raging all around us, as the kingdom of Satan wages war on the kingdom of God, for the souls of humanity. When we come to Christ, we are saved, but God’s program does just not end at our salvation. We now become part of the kingdom of God, opposed to the kingdom of Satan, bringing salvation to the lost. We become an adversary to the god of this age, who has blinded the lost. Understanding, the dynamics of this spiritual world is key, to having victory not only in our life, but also in advancing the kingdom of God, in territory claimed by the enemy.
6. What is the key to having victory in our life and advancing the kingdom of God? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Why we need to understand Spiritual Warfare?
Have you ever played a game, not knowing or understand the rules? Imagine you are invited to play in a football game, without understanding the rules. You might find yourself asking these questions. What do you do with the ball? Why are these players hitting me? You might find yourself quitting or lying on the ground in agony, not understanding why the other team hit you. This happens in the spiritual realms, when someone comes to Christ, and is born again. Many times the new Christian finds himself/herself in the middle of a war, not understanding the conflict.
a. We need to understand Spiritual Warfare because _________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
The purpose of understanding Spiritual Warfare is so that we can understand the dynamics of the conflict, and move forward in victory, rather than lie in defeat. Our goal is to advance the Kingdom of God, take territory from the enemy and bring souls into the kingdom. If we
ALL MANNER OF PRAYER Prayer: An Offensive Weapon
studyintheword.org Page 5
understand how our enemy works, his traps and strategies are less likely to take us by surprise.
8. What is our goal in Spiritual Warfare? _______________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Satan understands the redeemed (saved) are his mortal enemy. His goal is to remove the advantage of victory they have in Christ, by causing the saved to wallow in bondage and defeat. A defeated Christian is one less enemy Satan has to worry about; one more warrior of the Kingdom of God taken out of commission. Knowing this is Satan’s goal, allows the believer to pursue victory rather than wallow in defeat.
9. What is Satan’s goal? __________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
10. How can knowing Satan’s goal help the believer? ____________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We need to understand just how Satan wages war in our lives, and in the lives those around us. If we know his methods, we will then be equipped to disarm, and tear down the strongholds, which cause our constant defeat. Knowing the method of spiritual warfare, allows us to go on the offense, rather than responding from a position of defense and weakness.
11. How does knowing the method of spiritual warfare help us? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Having friendship with the world is talking about a world system that is
godless and anti-Christ. It is fueled by lust and pride.
2. Write out a prayer asking God to help you draw closer to Him and
away from the world system that rejects Him. Ask Him to help you be
clearly aware of the anti-Christ spirit that is in the world today so that you
do not support it in any way.

important you should be praying about. Ask Him to give you ears to hear

H. UNDERSTAND YOUR AUTHORITY IN PRAYER
The enemy will attempt to bombard you with doubt. Some of his favorite
whispered words to your mind will be, “You can’t pray.” “God doesn’t hear your
prayers.” “What makes you think God will listen to you?” “You have no authority
because you are not good enough.” “Your prayers won’t get past the ceiling.”
“God doesn’t answer your prayers.”
These kinds of taunts are an attack strategy from the enemy, but they can be
shut down in an instant when you know without any hesitation who you are in the
Christ and where your authority comes from.

J. KNOW YOUR WEAPONS – PRAYING FOR THE LOST
1. Praying for the Lost
Lifting the veil of unbelief off the unbeliever
a) 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 King James Version (KJV) 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the
flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but
mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and
bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ;
b) 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 TLB (Living Bible)
3 It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I
don’t use human plans and methods to win my battles.
4 I use God’s mighty weapons, not those made by men, to
knock down the devil’s strongholds.
5 These weapons can break down every proud argument
against God and every wall that can be built to keep men
from finding him. With these weapons I can capture
rebels and bring them back to God and change them into
men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ.
(1) In the context here, Paul is talking about doing it for
someone else (taking every thought captive): this is not
about MIND CONTROL; we are wanting to LIBERATE them,
from Satan’s control: MIND LIBERATION.
ALL MANNER OF PRAYER Prayer: An Offensive Weapon
studyintheword.org Page 14
c) “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal” (not those
made by men): it is VERY important to realize that we are not
going to succeed, we won't win the lost, by trying to persuade them
on an earthly level, nagging, “when are you going to change your
ways? Stop drinking/drugs? Go to church? “
(1) When we approach it on a natural level, it gets worse
because of a pride thing. Pride wants to preserve and
protect itself, and says “nobody is going to tell me what to
do!” This is rebellion: you cannot overcome rebellion in a
natural way.
d) “They're mighty through God, to pull down strongholds':
(1) 'mighty' is from 'dunatos' coming from Greek work
'dunamis', same word as the power of the Holy Spirit.
(a) The concept of this word is not just power or
energy or strength, it has the concept of POWER IN
ACTION, power being released.
(b) He is saying, 'that power will be released from
you if you'll do this My way'.
(c) That word is also translated 'miracle', because
this is 'power in action', DOING SOMETHING, it
works a MIRACLE! It means POSSIBLE, because it
means that this is God's POWER coming on the
scene, and the impossible becomes POSSIBLE when
this POWER is released!
(d) God is saying 'What is impossible to you, is
POSSIBLE to Me, I'll work a MIRACLE'.
(e) Sometimes people have a wave of UNBELIEF
through frustration.
(f) Let the Word of God bathe your soul, let the
washing of the water of the Word do its work.
Consciously choose to believe the Word of God. The
Word of God will bring faith to you. Allow the Word of
God to wash the unbelief off of you.
ALL MANNER OF PRAYER Prayer: An Offensive Weapon
studyintheword.org Page 15
e) “pull down strongholds”:
(1) Our weapons are going to be empowered by God’s
miraculous power to pull down strongholds.
(2) Greek word 'kathaireo' demolition of something, tear
something down with violence. Also used in biblical times of
'REMOVING SOMEONE FROM OFFICE': that's what we
want, a different Lord, there's someone ruling them, and we
want a new rule, we want Satan removed from office.
f) “Strongholds”:
(a) 'ochýrōma', root of the Greek word is 'to
have/hold', was also a word for 'a prison, a fort, a
fortress'.
(i) The concept is 'a place from which
something or someone can be held in a very
strong way'.
(ii) What Paul is saying is that 'there is a
place in the unbeliever that Satan can operate ,
he holds on to them in a very strong way, they
are in prison/bondage, they can't get out, they
often don't even know they're in prison, they
don't even know they want to get out: they just
know that they want something more than what
they have, there's something missing, they look
for it in materialism, religion, etc. they don't
know what it is.
(b) God's POWER will bring a DEMOLITION to
this PRISON.
g) “Casting down”:
(1) 'Pulling down' in v4 and 'casting down’ in v5, are the
same word. Paul is NOT changing the subject between v4,
'pulling down', and v5 'casting down':
ALL MANNER OF PRAYER Prayer: An Offensive Weapon
studyintheword.org Page 16
(2) What he is saying is that 'we have some weapons that
are powerful through God, to demolish strongholds, and v5
'demolishing': i.e. he is going to elaborate on exactly what it
is that we're going to demolish with these powerful weapons:
what he's actually going to do is to break down for you very
clearly, what this STRONGHOLD IS MADE OF.
h) Paul shows us three things that make up the
stronghold:
(1) Imaginations 'logismos':
(a) The Greeks used logismos to describe the
consideration and thought which preceded and
determined one's conduct.
(b) It does not mean 'thoughts', it's much deeper,
it's the 'Source of the thoughts, the Belief System/
Reasoning/ Logic/ Wisdom’. This is, what has been
put in them over time that CAUSES them to think the
way they think: philosophies, isms, intellectualism,
Buddhism, materialism, even wounds of rejection that
has caused the person to think a certain way. This is
the BELIEF SYSTEM / the GRID that everything is
FILTERED through.
(c) When you get information, it first goes through
your subconscious, your memory bank, and before
you think about it consciously, you already have a
deduction about it: that means that, when they hear
the gospel, they don't hear what you hear: they hear
what you hear PLUS what they already believe. It's
filtering through this GRID, 'logismos'
(d) **Ask God to show you what these are e.g.
philosophies, atheism, any belief system that is not
biblical that CONTROLS the way they think.
(i) You may know them well enough to
know what they are or call them’ logismos’ until
God reveals what they are.
ALL MANNER OF PRAYER Prayer: An Offensive Weapon
studyintheword.org Page 17
(e) PRAY that according to 2 Cor 10:3-5, ”I have
weapons strong enough to demolish this strong hold,
and, in the name of Jesus, I command you to be torn
down in their mind, to free them, to see the gospel
clearly. I demolish you, strong hold of ____________
that is controlling ______________.”
(2) Every high thing that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God:
(a) ‘High thing' is Greek word, ‘hupsoma’ which
goes back to PRIDE: it's the same root word for 'Most
High God', it doesn't want to bow the knee
(b) Pray: “According to 2 Cor 10:3-5, I have
weapons that are strong enough in God, to demolish
the strong hold of PRIDE. I take dominion and
authority over you and I loose __________ from this
root of pride, in Jesus name I demolish it''
(c) Don't go against it directly in them. Go to your
prayer closet and do it in prayer.
(3) 'Bringing into captivity every thought':
(a) 'Thought' here is 'noéma': it is more than the
scattered thoughts of the mind. It also means
SCHEME/ PLANS/ DEVICES
(b) Pray: “According to 2 Cor 10:3-5, I now use the
weapons that God has given to me, in the power of
the Holy Spirit being released, I take authority over
every thought the enemy tries to send to _______,
every reason, very excuse, every strategy and plan
that you have, to keep _______ blinded to the Truth, I
say 'No' to it, I demolish that now, in Jesus Name”
(c) We are cutting off every strategy of the enemy,
every plan: abuse, rejections, he has been
successfully orchestrating against them
ALL MANNER OF PRAYER Prayer: An Offensive Weapon
studyintheword.org Page 18
(d) SCHEMES/ STRATEGIES, I say 'I capture
that, and it won't work against them anymore. By faith,
I stand between them and you'. Bring it into the
obedience of Christ'.
(e) 'Obedience' in Greek means to 'hear under', I
'hear it and I choose to bring myself under it, I will
obey it'.
(i) What Paul is saying is 'We're going to
capture the thoughts, the schemes, the plans
of the enemy, and we're going to release them
(the lost) to hear and understand what God is
saying, and come under that'.
2. We may also need to do this for believers who are struggling
with strongholds
