What is Prayer Warfare/Dr Pat Holliday/Dr Sabrina Sessions/Marshall Perot

 What Is “Prayer Warfare”? Briefly, prayer warfare simply means holding unceasingly the power of the “finished work of Christ” over the hosts of evil, in their attack upon some place or person, until the victory is won. Just as Moses lifted his hands stedfastly until the victory was won, so the prayer warrior holds up stedfastly the victory of the cross—the finished victory of Christ over Satan—until the forces of evil retreat and are vanquished. This requires a true knowledge of Romans 6 and Galatians 2:20 in experience, and many lessons on abiding on the throne with Christ (Eph 2:6), before prolonged conflicts are thus prayed through and won. The truth is, so many believers live in inward conflict regarding themselves—often with regard to mundane or petty matters—that they cannot understand Ephesians 6 with its warfare against spiritual hosts of evil in the atmosphere where, living “Christ-encased,” the prayer warriors wrestle and overthrow the principalities and powers attacking the church of Christ. “Prayer warfare” has to do entirely with direct warfare with the powers of darkness—not with “flesh and blood” (Eph 6:12); therefore it does not allow the exercise of “will power” or psychic force, for if any warfare is needed in connection with persons it is not with the individual himself but with the adversary who is blinding him, or misleading him, that we “wrestle.” Let prayer warriors claim the “It is finished” of Calvary upon the unseen hosts of Satan opposing the Gospel of Jesus or holding souls in bondage and darkness. Christ’s last words of triumph will prevail as we pray through in union with Him on the throne.
