The guide about spiritual warfare for prayer warriors

While winning a spiritual battle is important, winning the spiritual war is even more important. Making demonic spirits shutter can be thrilling (James 2:19), but fulfilling The Great Commission will win the spiritual war (Matthew 28:18-20). The works of people cannot destroy demonic spirits (Luke 20:36), and God chooses not to destroy all the demonic spirits (Luke 8:31) because He uses them like tools (1 Timothy 1:20; Job 1:8; James 1:1-18; 1 Peter 5:8-11). Therefore, win the spiritual war by enabling and motivating our 'enemies' to become saved by the Son of God (Luke 6:27-28).

God (YaH) is The Almighty Creator, so He is the best source of power for our spiritual warfare (Acts 4:33). We also have power because The Son of God said, "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you" (Luke 10:19 (NIV)). Our battles are fought best through the word of God, "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)). (See also Jeremiah 23:29). When Jesus (Yeshua) went into the wilderness where the devil tried to tempt Him, The Son of God resisted the temptations by saying, "it is written" followed by quotes from the scriptures, over and over again (Matthew 4:4-10). The Son of God knew the 'word of God' is a powerful weapon to use in spiritual warfare.

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:11-17 (NIV)).

If many of your prayers are effective, except for a few of them, remember it's God's will. Hallelujah, praise God!

Commentary

If you struggle with praying, then you need to identify the cause(s) and then implement corrective action.

There could be several causes for your struggling with prayer:

You might not have The Holy Spirit with you (John 9:31);
You might be avoiding the 'perception of failure' in your relationship with God;
Your willpower might have been taken captive by the devil (2 Timothy 2:26)...

To correct the cause(s):

Analyze what is involved in getting 'saved' to determine if there is something you overlooked (forgiveness of others?), which could be preventing The Holy Spirit from empowering you;
Focus a majority of your prayers on things that are within God's will or plan, so that a majority of your prayers will be fulfilled by God, which will reward you with 'successful' prayers;
To regain your willpower from the captivity of the devil, repent for your sins (2 Timothy 2:25), and protect yourself with the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)...

Do not allow the devil to tempt you away from praying - before, during, and after praying. God could easily arrange for us to pray endlessly, but God wants us to use our free will to choose to talk to Him. Blessed are those who choose to freely and willingly praise God in their prayers! Get blessed!!!

God wants us to pray, therefore, He wants to fulfill our prayers, if they are according to His plan, and His plan is far better than any plan we can create (James 4:3; 1 John 5:14; John 15:7). When God doesn't fulfill particular prayers, we should ask ourselves why those prayers are not part of God's plan. Do we need to change our prayers, change ourselves, wait for God's timing, or what? Pray about why those particular prayers are not part of God's plan. If you are in good health, consider fasting as part of your devotion and determination.

Learn to become more aware of The Holy Spirit. When the thought of praying comes to your mind, don't tell yourself that you've already made plans to pray later on. The Holy Spirit knows what is going on in the spiritual realm, and there could be a very good reason for you to pray immediately.

Learn to enjoy your prayer time with God. Be creative, like an artist, and let yourself get into it. God is my spiritual companion, and I really, really enjoy the closeness of our relationship. God is waiting for you to join Him with all your heart and love!
