A DEMONIC FRONT IS A STRONGHOLD OF RESISTANCE!

It is a deeply entrenched belief that exalts itself against God, while holding many captive. One example of this is large geographic areas where people are resistant to the Gospel.

Collective strongholds (false belief systems), widespread prejudices, large areas of oppressive darkness (control, hatred, violence) and other such things are possible demonic fronts.

In the book Twilight Labyrinth, George Otis, Jr. describes the battle:

For a great battle is being waged – a conflict whose banners and implications have invaded the borders of at least two dimensions. From the secret places of the human heart, a complex tangle of front lines extends out through thousands of earthly cultures and communities, only to reconnect in the vast arenas, corridors and interstices of the spiritual dimension. It is here, in a place I have labeled “the twilight labyrinth,” that the children of light and the forces of darkness share a common terrain. It is here that the godly in Christ are called to battle.i

One of the most interesting concepts of this quotation is that of interstices, which are small or narrow spaces between things or parts such as crevices. In the spiritual dimension, this is a battleground; it is an often-overlooked place, the Al Qaeda-type location of the dark forces!


If this is where believers must war, where does one begin?

• You can bind the works of darkness such as blinding spirits, deceiving spirits, occult spirits and the like. You can curse the works of darkness and speak failure to their plans and strategies.

• You can pray for the light of God to flood the area and the minds of individuals, thus exposing the darkness. You can loose angelic forces to do God’s bidding on the people's behalf.

• You can exercise your Kingdom authority by loosing revelation knowledge. Pray for others to come into the lives of individuals with the message that they need. Pray over their choices and the paths they walk, asking God to direct their steps and lead them. Pray for the mercy of God and for the love of God to come to them.

• You can pray for the atmosphere around them and the various situations. Through prayer, you can block the release of demonic assistance.

• You can pray for those being overwhelmed, standing with them in agreement. In the spirit, uphold the power of the Word of God on their behalf. Declare the sufficiency of Christ to keep them from falling.

• You can bind any spirits that you discern, including those trying to push believers out of their heavenly position.

Most situations will require a continued stand in prayer until you see things begin to change. Praying, warring and standing until you receive a release from the Holy Spirit.

Specific prayer is far more effective than the general repetitious prayer of “please help them Lord ”. It also causes you to come into a deeper relationship with God and His Word. It requires you to give of yourself.
