Father, I have no realistic understanding of this clever and powerful enemy that we face. I understand the need for vigilance, diligence and girding up my mind to stand sober and ready to face these wily attempts to unnerve us. Please allow me to stay armoured in your characteristics throughout the day and night that I might stand with wisdom’s crown, having made preparation for the battle to come. Lord, I see the endurance planning, strategy and tactics of this foe and must admit there is a level of brilliance in the long-term method of wearing humans down. Lord, I am not a fool, thinking myself capable of standing against an Arch Angel, even a fallen one. I need your defensive protection, Your provision and armaments and Your All Powerful Spirit and Word with which to do battle in this heavenly realm.

Keep me close that I might make ready use of the sacred place within the shadow of your wings to disguise my movements to and from the battles.  Blind this enemy to those precise, calculated and directed movements of my Brothers and Sisters that they might move against the enemy strongholds with limited resistance. Tie together the enemy’s feet that they might stumble when attempting to launch counter assault upon the saints. Father, stricken their speech, cognition and communications that they might be found standing in palsy when my Kin arrive. And Give them a Mighty Shout in Your thundering Spirit that they might make your enemies flee in fear at the mention of your Name.

Father, I see the timing and patience with which this enemy has approached our capture and I see that they have always been all in, every heart, every life, every coin, king and nation.  This enemy wants it all and will never settle for any level of peace, honor or contentment, but will violate every treaty, agreement or armistice before they have been sworn.  Lord Give the Saints that vigilant understanding of the nature of this evil, that there is nothing that will stop them from moving forward but Your Name. Give us consciousness throughout and allow us the mature use of Your Word, Our Testimony and Prayer that we might call upon your power and authority as we approach each defensive position.  May we take them back in obedience to your direction to the Glory of Your Name Exalted. There shall be no peace until you have come, but we pray for Peace in Jerusalem this very moment for we understand this means that you have returned to bring that Peace that will not be found here. We love you and cheer your Glorious Appearing. May it be soon for the hope of mankind and the destruction of the wicked, In Jesus’ Name.
