Warfare prayer of the soldiers of the Army of Jesus to bind and destroy the works of the devil

Let us bind and destroy the works of the devil in the name of Jesus Christ who has conquered sin, satan, curse and death on the cross

Pro  11:18  The spirit which makes one do deceptive work

We are aware of the war and its consequences in and around Israel for the past 69 years. Israelites are bent on rebuilding  the Jerusalem temple. While Jesus was living on this earth, the Jews were proud of their temple. Jesus said,

“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”. Jn 2:19

They thought He meant  the Jerusalem temple and hence immediately responded,

“Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?” Jn 2:20

He mentioned His body the temple. He raised it in three days. Today Jesus is building up His body i.e. His Church in  you and me.

Yes. The temple of Jerusalem was under construction for 46 years. He is building his temple in me for the past 64 years. How many years in you?

What all parts in you are completed? Were all the final touch given? What portions are yet to be touched, yet to be worked out? When the work is completed, He will  manifest His full glory in you and lift you up before all the nations! 

Till then He will continue his work of removing the fleshly image of yours and carving Jesus’ image in you.  The speed with which Jesus works in you depends on the amicability you exhibit. In other words how user friendly you are in His hands! 

Body, Soul and Spirit - Deliverance Ministry

How imbalance occurs 

“Life” remains in the soul of a man

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Gen 2:7 

We already mentioned that “Soul” in a human being  is the seat of

1. Will

Gen 34:3  And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob.  He sinned  by his deliberate will. It was a deliberate decision of his soul.

Gen 49:6  O my soul, come not thou into their secret: 

Jacob warns his soul not to favor the decision of his   sons and  not to be partners in their sins”

Luk 12:19  And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

2. Emotions

Gen 42:21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul,

Mat 26:38  Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

3. Mind

Mat 12:18  Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased:

When the equilibrium between Spirit, Soul and Body goes wrong, sickness occurs. In other words sickness  is a sign to show that there is imbalance between these three. 

Every man (believer) should see that he maintains this equilibrium between his body, soul and spirit so that  he lives in perfect health in his body, enjoys  a sound mind, and a healthy spirit which is directly aligned with heaven and to the Holy Spirit.

The Lord has entrusted the Church with the Deliverance & Healing Ministry.  Deliverance and Healing Ministries are nothing but bringing back this equilibrium between his spirit, soul and body  in a man whenever it is in disorder.

Disorder occurs for  2 reasons

1. Sin (He would have opened an  entry door  to satan) 
2. ( Has allowed satan to  put  you in prison)

Mark 16:17,18 makes it mandatory that every believer has to  take up this ministry right from the day he accepts Jesus Christ.  He should go into the world (to neighborhood, workplace, cities, towns, villages, hospitals, roads etc) and find out people who are in misery due to suppression of satan. Jesus was a model for this.

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, he went around doing good and healing everyone who was oppressed by the devil.  Act 10:38 

We, believers also should help people reset their balance between spirit, soul and body and help them live a liberated life with the grace of Jesus.

Australia: Christians Experiencing Increased Attacks from Muslim Extremists

Christians in Australia are facing increased persecution and are especially being targeted by Muslim gangs.CBN News reports that recently, a Greek Orthodox Christian man was targeted for wearing a cross necklace.A group of Muslims reportedly stopped the man and his girlfriend. They ripped the necklace from his neck and stomped on it. They then proceeded to inflict physical injury on the man, kicking and punching him.When the man’s girlfriend tried to intervene, she was reportedly also punched and kicked by Muslim women who were part of the group.The man reported afterward that his attackers were “Middle Eastern in appearance” and said they referred to “Allah" and blasphemed the name of Jesus. The man also claimed that five railway transport officers witnessed the attack but did nothing to help. Train officials, however, maintained that their employees are not authorized to take action in the case of an assault.Baptist Pastor George Capsis says this attack is cause for concern for Australian Christians. Capsis noted that this was the fourth such attack on Christians in Sydney in the past six months.Christians have been cautioned against displaying Christians symbols, such as crucifixes, in areas dominated by Muslims in order to prevent further attacks.

Churches targeted on Palm Sunday, Modi stays silent

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been criticised for condemning the Palm Sunday attacks on churches in Egypt but failing to condemn attacks in his own country. On the same day that two churches were bombed in Egypt, five churches in India – in five different states – were targeted. Church groups have called for extra security to be provided for churches in the run-up to Easter, and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.“Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the Egypt bombings but is not bothered about the blunt intimidation and assaults on Christians under his care,” Rev. Roger Gaikwad, general secretary of the National Council of Churches in India, told World Watch Monitor.“Modi as usual wants to maintain a good international image. Such a statement [condemning attacks in Egypt] also bolsters the stereotype of Muslims as terrorists and Christians as people who are attacked because their proselytising activities are inviting problems for themselves.” The Evangelical Fellowship of India released a statement today (11 April), in which it criticised the “targeting of Christians on special days of worship, such as Palm Sunday” as “condemnable”. We urge the respective state governments and the central [federal] government to not only take note of these violations, but also to take action to curtail the non-state actors who function with impunity,” the statement read. “It is important, especially now as we are in the Passion Week, for, going by the trends so far, it seems the incidents may escalate during Good Friday and Easter. It does not reflect well on the world’s largest democracy, if incidents like these continue to hound religious minorities. “We also request that the state machinery be held accountable and responsible for enforcing the rule of law, so that minorities can live in peace and without fear,”

Four of the five states in which the incidents took place are ruled by the Hindu-nationalist BJP – Modi’s party.  Meanwhile, so-called “anti-conversion laws” – which on the face of it protect against forced conversions but in reality discriminate against minority groups by forbidding them from any evangelism – are in force in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, where one attack took place, while they are also soon likely to be introduced in the western state of Rajasthan, where another incident occurred. Such laws also used to be in force in another of the affected states – the southern state of Tamil Nadu – but were repealed after the ruling party lost all its parliamentary seats. The National Council of Churches in India said the sudden spurt in anti-Christian violence is a “signal” that Hindu nationalist groups like the BJP and RSS “are going to use the communal card in the most blatant way” – by teaching majority-Hindus that minorities like Christians and Muslims present a threat to the Hindu nation. Activist John Dayal added: “The rash of violence against Christians, disrupting Palm Sunday prayers, speaks of a heightened impunity, and, we suspect, a more direct collusion of police and local authorities.”
