Pick up Your Sword and Shield

“There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.“

-C.S. Lewis, Screwtape Letters

Daily Warfare Prayer for the Nation
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I stand with the power of the Lord God Almighty to bind Satan and all his evil spirits, demonic forces satanic powers, principalities, along with all kings and princes of terrors, from the air, water, fire, ground, netherworld, and the evil forces of nature.

I take authority over all demonic assignments and functions of destruction sent agains the United States of America, and I expose all demonic forces as weakened, defeated enemies of Jesus Christ. I stand with the power of the Lord God Almighty to bind all enemies of Christ present together, all demonic entities under their one and highest authority, and I command these spirits into the abyss to never again return.

I rise today with the power fo the Lord God Almighty to call forth the heavenly host, the holy angels of God, to surround protect, and cleanse with God's holy light all areas of the United States of America vacated by the forces of evil. I ask the Holy Spirit to permeate the mind, heart, body, soul and spirit of every American, creating a hunger and thirst for God's holy Word, and to fill every American with the life and love of my Lord, Jesus Christ.
