House of Prayer - Spiritual Warfare | Andy Elmes | 26th November 2023

Family Church Portsmouth

Pastor Andy concludes the series on House of Prayer by this week speaking about spiritual warfare. We exist in a physical realm on earth but when we pray we engage in a spiritual realm. The Bibles tells us we battle against spiritual powers and principalities. Ps Andy unpacks this crucial subject, speaking of angels and demons and the role Christ has played in giving us all authority to bind and loose here on earth...that these things be bound and loosed in Heaven.

This is a MUST LISTEN podcast, covering enormous ground with scriptural backing to all Andy speaks of. He ends with some application pointers..

• Be aware of the two realms....any breakthrough you need may have more to do with whats happening in the unseen. Hit your knees and do business with God and see him bring breakthrough!
• Pray in the understanding for the things that we understand in the spirit for things we have done.
• Understand how to separate people and things from what influences them. When we do spiritual warfare, we deal like Daniel the things that were happening, but were causing interference. If the airways are cleared, the sound of God can break through!
• Ensure we are wearing the armour of God.
• Use our God given authority to begin to bind and loose things in what we call the Spirit ground. Do not get into arguments with people in the natural realm.
• Remember we don't speak to enemy thoughts without authority, but when we speak to the devil's demons (lies, addictions...), there is a ring on our finger that says we represent a King and Kingdom.
• Realise that when we say Jesus with conviction, every devil hits its knees and leaves the building. When we say Jesus, every sickness has to submit. Let us not live like people unaware. Let us not reduce the name of Jesus.
