A Prayer of Salvation Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and by nature
a child of wrath. I confess my sinful condition and acknowledge my need of a Savior.
Prayer to Release the Power
of the Blood Your Word says, "If
we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, You are
faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make You a liar, and Your
word is not in us (1 John 1: 8-10) . 11 You also say that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Through
faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe we are being justified as a gift by Your grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom you, God, displayed
publicly as a propitiation (substitute) in Jesus' blood through faith to declare and demonstrate His righteousness, because in Your forbearance, God,
You passed over the sins previously committed.
A Prayer for Peace My heavenly Father, This is the day the Lord has made.
I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalm 118:24). I
trust in You, delight myself in You, Lord, commit my way unto You this day, and rest in You, waiting patiently
for You (Psalm 37:3-7). I am happy inasmuch as my God is the Lord (Psalm 144:15).
Thank You, Father, that You rejoice over me with joy (Zephaniah 3:17). You redeem my life from the pit, satisfy
me with good things and execute righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed (Psalm 103:4-6). You comfort
the waste places and provide joy and gladness, thanksgiving and the voice of melody (Isaiah 51:3). The joy of the
Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and even today I count it all joy when I encounter tests or trials (James
1:2).
A Prayer for Deliverance Dear Lord Jesus, I look to you as refuge, fortress, and
strength. I confess that I am guilty
of sin, iniquity, and transgression. I submit to you, God. I draw near to you that you may draw near to me. I cleanse
my hands and purify my heart. I am miserable and mourn and weep. My laughter is turned into mourning and my joy
into gloom. I humble myself in the presence of the Lord that He may exalt me. I repent of my sins …… The word is
near me, in my mouth and in my heart. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that God
raised Him from the dead. Forgive me now, and cleanse me with Your blood.
Defeating Belial in the Midst My Heavenly Father, The nature of Belial has come to
my attention, and it is my desire to defeat Belial in my midst. I
desire to be separated from Belial that I might serve Jesus Christ. Beli means "without, negated, wearing
out." Yaal means "help; be of use, profit, advantage."
The Anointing for
Cosmic Spiritual Warfare Spiritual warfare is the term we use for fighting the
enemies of our Covenant Lord. To be a
friend of the world is to be the enemy of God. The flesh is at war against the Spirit. God opposes the proud but
gives grace to the humble. God opposes all that is antichrist, that which opposes or counterfeits Christ....
The Means of Grace Many
today hear a snappy sermon; laugh at a few foibles and the frailty of the human condition; and then go forward
to say a little prayer "to receive Christ." After placing their trust in Christ by the grace of God,
they walk back to their seats thinking life will be different now but never truly grasp the heinousness of sin
and their need for ongoing repentance, faith, and future grace.
Just today a young woman responded to
an evocative presentation of the gospel by praying to receive Christ at Craighouse. I pointed out to her the need
for personal growth in Christ as we move ahead in the Christian life, that every believer needs to avail himself/herself
of the means of grace....
A Stronghold: Things That Devour Many
times I am asked to speak about strongholds as I do conferences and seminars on strategic spiritual warfare. People
ask, "What is a stronghold?"
2 Corinthians 10.3-5 tells us:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of
strongholds; casting down imaginations And every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, And
bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
A stronghold is a defensive spiritual fortress
behind which one hides and is protected. 1 Samuel 23.14,19 gives us a clue.
And David abode in the wilderness in strongholds
and remained in A mountain in the wilderness of Ziph…Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth
not David hide himself with us in Strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the South of Jeshimon?
A stronghold is a fortified dwelling used
as a means of protection from an enemy.
When I was in Puerto Rico, I became aware of
El Morro, a stronghold built by the Spanish to protect the island from invading Indians and pirates, from anyone
perceived as an enemy or threat to Puerto Rico’s well being. David hid from King Saul in wilderness strongholds
at Horesh. These were usually caves high on a mountainside. They were difficult to attack....
A stronghold is a powerful, vigorously
protected spiritual reality....
Strongholds: Things
That Destroy A
stronghold is a fortified dwelling used as a means of protection from an enemy. David hid from King Saul in wilderness
strongholds at Horesh. These were usually caves high on a mountainside. They were difficult to attack. Such caves
exist in Afghanistan and other regions where it’s easy for people to hide out.
A stronghold is a powerful, vigorously protected spiritual reality. When God is the enemy or when we have thoughts,
words, and deeds sympathetic toward the devil, strongholds become a defense for Satan against God. When Satan is
the enemy, strongholds established by God and salvation through Jesus Christ protect us from him.
Godly strongholds include fortresses like
the Lord, the Blood of Jesus, humility, holiness, the armor of God, and the walls of salvation. A demonic stronghold
is any type of thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God.
Christians cannot be owned by a devil.
The devil does not own someone who has been bought by a price by Jesus Christ, i.e., redeemed by the Blood of the
Lamb. But Christians can have thoughts
in rebellion against God and His Word, thoughts not brought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. These thoughts
are lies we have swallowed, lying words we have believed, words which we have obeyed in disobedience to God. They
are things like vain imaginations, sinful habits. They are fortresses keeping God out. They are fortresses protecting
Satan and our sinful ways. They are fortresses protecting our very "selves." They are our defenses from
anything entering from the outside that would threaten us and cause us to be overthrown. (2 Corinthians 10.3-5)

Trust God's Covenant Love Have
you ever found yourself so frustrated that you cry out, "Is the LORD among us, or not?" Have you seen giants in the land and declared to God,
"The enemy is too strong for us!" Or have you wondered how God would move you through a seemingly impossible
situation?
Recently, as the Lord was preparing my husband, Rev. Jim Craig, and I to go to Scandinavia July 4-16, He impressed
upon me that the spirit we would be up against had to do with the Amalekites. Somehow it all related to the Vikings,
pirates, and even South Florida. Somehow we were learning a new lesson in spiritual warfare.
Who were the Amalekites? They were pastoral, nomadic raiders, a people with no
fear of God, God-defiant ones with an unrelenting and destructive spirit who attacked the rear guard and who cut
off those who became physically weak, the old, and children. God told the Israelites to treat them differently.
Deuteronomy 20.10-12 tells us that no offer of peace was to be given to them first....
David: A Covenant Man Every
war has weapons. Ours are spiritual.
God has given His children spiritual weapons as they wage war against the world, the flesh, and the devil in their
personal lives. In this regard, we are told in scripture to look to the examples of those who have preceded us
in the faith. One such person from whom we can learn is David.
...
David knew he was a covenant man. He knew the living God....
Crowning the Earth with God's
Glory
In March of 2008
I received a directive to go to Iceland and Greenland, to declare God's Name from North to South, East to West; to release healing into the seas that it may flow into
the oceans; that God will make bitter waters sweet. In December of 2008, I received from the Lord that He is roaring
with a roar that will be heard over all the Middle East, that we should watch and be ready...
