Strategic Intercession and Warfare
Do You See as God Sees? (Part 2)
What Can We Learn from the Search, Pursuit, and Death
Of Osama Bin Laden?
Romans 8:25-27 - “But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” (KJV)
“It took those commanders less than forty minutes to storm Bin Ladden’s hideout in Pakistan and emerge with his body, but the intelligence that would lead them there took years to develop. Dogged, determined, and ultimately deadly. This was a raid literally years in the making. U.S. Intelligence painstakingly pursued a trusted courier used by Osama Bin Laden. Courier’s pseudonym came from Guantanamo detainees. It took 6 years to uncover his real name. Two more to learn courier’s area of operations and finally after almost 9 years after the September 11 attacks the U. S. identified areas in Pakistan where the Courier and his brother lived and worked. The courier was tracked to the compound in Abattabad about 100 miles north of the capital Islamabad (Bin Laden Compound). (CNN News, 2011)
In our humanistic thinking, our tendency is to focus on the “glorious victory” of the forty-minute raid and fulfillment of justice accomplished in Bin Laden’s death. I watched as crowds of people stormed the streets at ground zero of the former World Trade Center and the streets of Town Square in New York City. Yes. The small elite warriors who accomplished the raid are worthy of honor. They have trained and sacrificed their lives for the call to bring down enemy terrorists. They risked their very lives to accomplish this dangerous mission, and willingly continue to prepare and sacrifice for similar missions yet on the horizon. Yet, let us not forget the necessity of INTELIGENCE, which made their mission possible in the first place. Let us not forget the 9 YEARS of INTELLIGENCE WORK to locate the enemy’s camp.
We must remember that FORCE alone is INSUFFICIENT for victory in battle. FORCE alone is INSUFFICIENT without the INTELLIGENCE of who, what, where, when, why, and how to apply that FORCE.
It’s TIME OUT for praying loud and saying nothing! It’s time out for eloquent speech that lacks true and rightly applied power, authority, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to move mountains, heal the sick, cast out demons, save souls, deliver those in bondage, release the Holy Spirit fires of revival, and set the captives free!
It’s time for God’s Intercessors and Prayer Warriors to apply Strategic Intercession and Warfare that makes a true IMPACT and DIFFERENCE within the Earth, where we have been given power, authority, and commandment to TAKE DOMINION.
How does the search, pursuit, and death of Bin Laden relate to Strategic Intercession and Warfare? It directly relates to the third question the Holy Spirit is asking each of us… Do you know your assignment? AND… How well do you know your assignment?
Spiritual Mapping is a tool of strategic intercession and warfare that literally maps out one’s intercessory assignment just as the U.S. intelligence researched and mapped out the location of Bin Laden’s compound. Spiritual mapping combines physical research and spiritual research (Holy Spirit imparted knowledge, wisdom, discernment and understanding) to provide accurate VISION of strategic targets that guide the fiery arrows of Spirit-led intercession and warfare to hit SPIRITUAL BULLS EYES, producing spiritually fruitful RESULTS. The enemy is routed and his plans are destroyed through strategic intercession and warfare. Likewise, the enemies hindrances, blockages, and blockades are removed, so that the will of God can be accomplished in the Earth.
What is your assignment? Do you SEE (discern, know, and understand) the specific demonic spirits and strategies of the enemy that are assigned to hinder you from accomplishing your assignment? Without spiritual intelligence, your prayers are like shooting arrows in the midnight pitch black sky. You cannot possibly hit your target, because you do not know the nature or the location of your target. Neither is the Wisdom of Holy Spirit present to guide your prayers in the right direction. Yet, Wisdom is available to all, if we would only ask of God.
James 1:5 - "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (KJV)
Get This! Spiritually Mapping is a tool that assists you in SEEING (perceiving and understanding) your assignment as God SEES (perceiving and understanding) it…
I must admit I did not plan to address spiritual mapping, until the Holy Spirit laid a stronger foundation through the Strategic Intercession and Warfare series. Yet, once again, His thoughts are higher than my thoughts and His ways are higher than my ways, because He revealed spiritual mapping plainly to me today through the prophetic demonstration of the search, pursuit, and capture of Osama Bin Laden!
Yet, there is SO MUCH MORE to search out concerning knowing our assignment through spiritual mapping that Holy Spirit will continue to teach us in the Intercessor’s Intimate Chamber! As we grow in our intimate knowledge of Holy Spirit, we will also grow in understanding our assignment.
This leads us once again back to the beginning… Do you KNOW Him? AND… Do you KNOW who you are in Him? Then and then alone can we even begin to KNOW our assignment!
As We Walk with the Godhead Together in the Intercessor’s Intimate Chamber, Our Eternal Focus and Aim will be to Increasingly and Continuously SEE AS GOD SEES!
