Chapter 6

Invasion

We generally consider prayer war in three stages:

1. Research. Do all you can to gather information, to make yourself well-informed.

2. Strategy. Seek the Lord for his strategy.

3. Attack. When you have done all the preparation and know that God's appointed time has come, then you can give the order for prayer invasion.

It may be that you decide to have a period of concentrated prayer for a place, but when I use the expression "prayer invasion", I mean going to places to pray on the spot. There was a time when all the prayer gatherings I attended were held in a church hall or in a prayer group meeting in a home. Now, however, we end up praying in the streets, in the town square, in the shopping centres, outside the town hall, or in the gates of the city. We find that we need to seek out the places where people actually are, who are there to be won for the Lord. These are the places where, at the next stage, the evangelists will be reaching out to win souls.

Philip invades the capital of Samaria

The way in which Philip invaded the capital city of Samaria (Acts 8) to establish God's kingdom there, is equally applicable today. It was a successful invasion, because there was great joy in the city. Our aim in conquering is that there will be great joy, great peace, much righteousness, and a flooding of heavenly atmosphere by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That is what happens when the kingdom of God comes into a place.

Freeing of individuals

Philip proclaimed Christ. One by one, individuals were delivered and healed in Jesus' name.

"With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed."

(Acts 8: 7)

Freeing a town means, first, freeing individuals. An evangelist in Italy, who was building up a Catholic charismatic community, told how, out of those who were saved, 70 percent needed to be delivered from evil spirits. An equal percentage had been involved in the occult. Pastors in Sikkim, in northern India, told how every single person who became a member of their churches needed to be delivered from evil spirits when they came to the Lord.

Breaking the demonic network

In Samaria there was an occult network. Simon the sorcerer had struck the people with amazement, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention. The sorcerer had power to bind people to himself; in fact, his power was so great that all the people were bound to him. On one occasion in Pakistan, I saw about fifty people all delivered from evil spirits at the same time. It appeared that most of them had been to worship at the grave of a holy man. The fakir who looked after the shrine had a power of binding people to himself by demonic forces so that they had to return periodically to the grave. Our task was to break up a whole demonic network in that part of Lahore.
