Pray Through to Breakthrough
By Capazin Thornton
The Need for Breakthrough
Things seem to be spiraling out of control on every continent at an alarming rate of speed. I am reminded of Frank E. Peretti’s 1986 bestselling novel, This Present Darkness. This book provides keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity and power of focused tenacious prayer to turn the tide.
Throughout the story, when the people of God prayed, angels prevailed. Forces of darkness were subdued. And the people prayed for experienced a breakthrough.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”—Eph 6:12 (ESV)
It is going to take Spirit led, anointed prayer on the part of God’s people to break through obstacles and thwart the forces of darkness that are determined to overlord the nations. Nothing will change if we don’t pray.
God’s people in every generation have a mandate to seek God and to bring the righteous policies of Heaven to bear in the earth. (Mt 6:10)
Not wimpy prayers. Not princess prayers. But, strong, powerfully anointed prayers will make the difference.
The weapons for breakthrough
Christ believers are called and chosen as God’s instruments to break in pieces, neutralize and destroy demonic strongholds. God has given us supernatural spiritual weapons for breakthrough. They include the whole armor of God, the Blood of Jesus, the Name of Jesus, the Word of God, and triumphant praise. (Eph 6:10-18; 2 Cor 10:4)
Strike demonic forces and
break through spiritual barriers
Let us unite in the spirit. Let us use the supernatural spiritual weapons God has given us to break through spiritual barriers and strike, hit, attack, knock against, collide with, rush on, and run on demonic forces in the unseen realm.
Pray through to breakthrough
Sometimes we have to bombard the heavens repeatedly day in and day out to break through spiritual resistance and change the spiritual climate. Do not stop praying until you are through—until you sense a breakthrough, release, or peace in your spirit. And, then, pray and praise some more!
God’s angels will help us
As we pray, praise, and declare God’s Word, God’s angels who hearken to the voice of His Word will help us. They will fight in the spiritual realm and drive back the forces of darkness. (Ps 103:20; Ps 91:11-12).
Through faith-filled, heartfelt and fervent prayer, tremendous power is released to break through spiritual barriers, destroy demonic strongholds, and open doors of people’s hearts so God’s Word can enter and bring light and truth to set them free.
Are you ready to pray through to the breakthrough for yourself, your family, your city, state, and the nations? Please feel free to post your comments.
