There is need to let believers know that effective prayer is not what emanates from our mind or intellect but rather it is the word of God. Word of God is in two dimensions; The written word and the spoken word
The written word is the word of the Bible which can be used as incantation in arguments to demonstrate the superiority of God’s power over any other power citing instances similar to the case on which prayer is required. The written word is not the verdict in prayer but it provokes the Holy Spirit to give the verdict. This verdict which can be called Prophecy is the spoken word. This is the word that comes automatically or spontaneously from our spirit on the matter for which prayer is sought. The advice here is that a prayer that has no support of the written word may not be effective.
In particular, we wish to speak on the Word of God. Indeed it is the protective helmet of salvation and the aggressive sword of the Spirit. It is all a believer needs in his spiritual warfare. Then written word is like the bullet of prayer. The gun needs bullet and shooting to make the required impact. Prayer must be powered by the appropriate biblical authority to be effective as said earlier. This is done by the invocation of the events of the Bible in any argument that demonstrates the superiority of the power of the believer over demonic forces. We bring into action a repeat of events where powerful men of God truncated satanic agents. Reference to the events is followed by powerful prayer of faith and a keen spiritual watch.
Advice on how to Pray
Warfare is waging war. The technicalities of prayer are that, prayer empowers our Guardian Angels for success in our spiritual encounters. Those possessed of demons could consciously perform their act in their spirit dimension but believers rely on the directive and the leading of the Holy Spirit represented by their Guardian Angels. Ex 23:20-35.
Position in Prayer
Warfare prayer is made in a position of advantage over spiritual opponents. For example while one may kneel down to receive power and authority from God, we cannot fight the enemies on our kneels. We need to demonstrate our superiority by standing against and over them. The way we are physically is replicated also in our spirit dimension.
Similarly at sleep when in a warfare programme, we are at an advantage when we sleep on hard surface platform like the mat or on the rug as against soft mattresses. This sleeping position helps us to recall our spiritual encounter. Demonic dreams happen in a situation of half sleep and feature the blinking of the eyelids and movement of the body. Sleeping on hard surface platform wakes up the believer after an encounter before moving to another dream episode.
The Word that Solves Problems
Having discussed the potency of the word of God in solving human problems. It is intended here to make out relevant Bible passages for different categories of problems and they can be effectively used against satanic forces. A believer is usually expected to talk to his problems about God as Jesus Christ did when He was tempted by Satan.
