Book Description

Right now, someone you know is in desperate need of your prayers. It's the person out on the front line, leading God's army into the world to proclaim His good news. Pastors, teachers, and all types of leaders are under severe attack from the enemy. And they're depending on the prayers of those who care to help see them through. The enemy knows where our leaders are vulnerable, and he strikes at their weakest points. But the greater power is on our side. Through intercessory prayer you can reinforce your leaders with God's strength and protection.

5 out of 5 stars Seminal Book on Personal Intercession.......2000-11-15

A seminal book on personal intercession. I've used Prayer Shield as a textbook, and I've sent copies to several ministers to help them initiate prayer support for their own ministry.

The concept of intercession being one of the gifts of the Spirit is ground breaking. Wagner's treatise on the different functions of intercession is vital for any serious prayer ministry.

The bottom line of this book is if a pastor fails in ministry the congregation needs only to look at their amount (or lack) of prayer support to answer the inevitable question of "Why?"

4 out of 5 stars Prayer Shield.......2000-05-16

Prayer Shield covers the topic of personal intercession.. e.g. of those who are commited to pray for and cover an individual (such as a pastor or the leader of a ministry) in prayer. It begins by sharing some true stories of the power of prayer, and also develops what the Bible teaches on the subject of intercession and prayer partners.

The second chapter explores intercessors from every angle.. I feel that one of the most powerful insights in the book is the concept of different types of prayer assignments, and how to determine which type you fit into as an intercessor. E.g., some people specialize in thoroughly praying a request through, and they desire details and feedback and keep prayer lists and prayer journals detailing their requests and how/when God answered them. Others tend to be more prophetic in nature. They find it hard to take requests from people and do not like to keep lists.. they prefer to come before the Lord and get their prayer assignment directly from Him. You need to give lots of details and feedback to those who specialize in praying a request through, but you don't want to bog a prophetic intercessor down with too many specific details and requests. Peter identifies 4 types of intercessors. The book help leaders to determine which prayer-type their intercessors are so they can give them prayer information/requests in a manner that works best for them.

Subsequent chapters develop why pastors and leaders need personal intercession, and how they can begin developing and mobalizing personal intercessors. It teaches leaders how to recieve intercession and how to develop relationship with their intercessors and how to supply them with the information they need to be effctive.

(A personal note.. I used to be one of Peter and Doris Wagner's personal intercessors, and I can attest that they live what they teach in this book.. and as an intercessor, I found their system very workable.)

Book Description

According to the authors, the Church is being prepared to enter its most dynamic season of warfare, worship and harvest. The key to victory during this time will be our worship. When we praise God, He comes into our midst and manifests His rule and authority in our environment. He actually abides with us and "seats" Himself in the very center of our lives to lead us in the paths He chooses for us. When we ascend in worship we go to the throne of God and receive our strategy from Him to fulfill His purposes on Earth. In effect, we align with God's purposes and then we descend with our marching orders to accomplish those purposes. The result of this supernatural process will be a great harvest of souls for God's kingdom.

5 out of 5 stars Ascending into His Promises.......2007-03-15

After reading just one chapter of this book I felt the Power of the Holy Spirit opening up my spiritual eyes to see Him for who He truly is in my life. This book teaches you how to go up in worship and see the blessings of the Lord! It will truly be a blessing in your life! I highly recommend this book. Be Blessed.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2006-07-24

This book was by far the best book Ive ever read on worship- Chuck Pierce talks about ascending and descending in worship - it is awesome - has truly changed the way I view worship!I HIGHLY recommend this book!

5 out of 5 stars Superb!.......2003-01-09

This is one of the best books on worship I've read in a long time. The book talks all about "Ascending in worship, descending in war", just as in biblical times the worshippers led the people into war. It's about spending time with God in worship, in getting to know Him better, and to hear His heart, and then to go out from there to live life His way, including knowing how better to pray for people. I highly recommend it for all Christians!

4 out of 5 stars Book Summary.......2005-05-03

This book consists of nine independent, though complementary, chapters penned by nine authors on strategic spiritual mapping's theology, methodology, and case studies. These multiple authors speak with one voice, enriched by their varied perspectives. Much overlapping in substance exists across chapters. The book's tone is informal throughout, like a series of "prep talks".

George Otis, Jr. defines "spiritual mapping" as superimposing Christian "understanding of forces and events in the spiritual domain" to see beneath geographical patterns of evil and spiritual oppression. This assumes in the practitioner "a keen understanding of the spiritual domain" and "a skill born out of a right relationship with God and a love for his world". Spiritual mapping's conclusions, to be verified by the Bible and sociological-historical observation, can enhance the effectiveness of ministry. George Otis, Jr. further describes a "territorial stronghold" as an evil spiritual being ruling over an explicitly proscribed area (e.g. a home, a village, a city, a valley, or a nation), possibly with hierarchies of deities and spirits. Such a territorial spirit may exercise extraordinary power over the area's local people. A "territorial stronghold" wards off divine influence and may invade unprotected targets abroad. A territorial stronghold, allowed into an area by earlier generations' misplaced choices, may be consciously affirmed in the contemporary generation's religious festivals and ceremonials and pilgrimages.

Cindy Jacobs (of a prayer networking organization called Generals of Intercession) enumerates nine additional strongholds, where Satan exalts himself against human knowledge of God and against God's plans. A personal stronghold (such as personal sin, pride, selfishness or desire for power) needs be repented of. A hopeless mindset stronghold "causes the believer to accept as unchangeable something he or she knows is contrary to the will of God." A sectarian stronghold causes pride in doctrines, idolatry of denominations, and divisions among churches. Moreover, instead of a church's "us versus them" mentality, the church should lend itself as a helpful resource to its local population. A social stronghold exists when poverty or oppression (such as injustice, racism) causes "people to believe God does not care about their needs". An ideological stronghold influences entire cultures and societies. An occultic stronghold (such as witchcraft, Satanism, and New Age religions) is "an overt evil application of many ideological strongholds". Cindy Jacobs cited her experience in breaking occultic strongholds: once through corporate repentance among Christians in the Argentine city of Rosario of earlier generations' worship of the Queen of Heaven, and once through Christians' intercession against a "curse" on Cindy Jacobs' personal health. A "seat of Satan" is a "highly oppressed and demonically controlled" geographical location from which Satan wars against a larger region. A "stronghold of iniquity" stems from earlier generations' sins producing weaknesses or iniquities in later generations.

Kjell Sjoberg of Sweden emphasized that spiritual mapping helps to target intercession. Among his insights are the followings: A believer's unconfessed guilt invited demonic influence on that believer; a believer's confession must precede his/her spiritual warfare. God's promises in the Old Testament for particular nations can be used in prayer for those nations. God might sometimes urge believers to gather for prayer without the believers knowing why; later those occasions might turn out to coincide with high levels of occultic activities. Human opposition could signify correct targeting in the Christians' spiritual warfare.

Harold Caballeros, a pastor in Guatemala, had been reading Matthew 12:29 , Mark 3:27 and Luke 11:21,22 . A believer told him of her dreaming of three rough rustic hands holding transparent ropes joining three specific Guatemalan cities. Another believer, upon hearing this dream, named the three persons holding the ropes. Subsequent investigations revealed those three persons were conducting "evil works of the devil" in those three cities, through money, politics and drug dealing. After "on-site prayer", the first was jailed awaiting trial, the second lost his office, and the third's power was greatly diminished. There was then less violence and more fruitful evangelism. In another situation, Caballeros' research team identified an archaeological site of Mayan idolatry and witchcraft, plus a vacant house there where contemporary idolatry and witchcraft was occurring. Caballeros' prayer team reported that God described to them the person responsible, including his appearance. Caballeros' prayer team was also told on what page of the next day's newspaper that person's name will be identified. All these came true; and further research indicated that person named in the newspaper indeed owned the aforementioned house.

Victor Lorenzo, of Harvest Evangelism in Argentina, was initially reluctant to obey God's call to strategic spiritual warfare. This opened his baby son to sickness due to demonic attack. As Lorenzo repented, an angel assured him of subsequent protection of his son. Based on information from five local professors and prominent murals of the city of Resistencia, the spirits of death, fear, sexual perversion, witchcraft/sorcery, Freemasonry, and the Queen of Heaven were discerned. Lorenzo's team's targeted prayers resulted in evangelistic success and doubled church attendance across all social strata, effective social service ministries, and positive media exposure. However, bitterness among certain pastors was not entirely healed in Resistencia. In a subsequent project for the city of La Plata, Lorenzo's intercession team members independently felt led by God to spotlight freemasonry. Lorenzo later found that La Plata's city center was indeed laid out as a freemasonry temple, with public statutes and monuments bearing Masonic symbolism. At the time of writing, many local believers were following up with fervent targeted intercession, sometimes on location in the city's Masonic landmarks.

Mark McGregor (a Seattle computer programmer) applied to Seattle the 20-question spiritual-mapping approach in John Dawson's Taking Our Cities for God; and Bev Klopp (of Gateway Ministries) planned follow-up prayers and actions of strategic spiritual warfare for Seattle.

5 out of 5 stars Critical Insight into Fulfilling the Great Commission.......2001-03-22

Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces in high places, to paraphrase the apostle Paul. Salvation comes from the heart action of faith, not the mental grasp of facts. This is a spiritual process, and there are spiritual enemies obstructing that process.

C. Peter Wagner's great book, Breaking Strongholds in Your City, offers critical insight into "breaking the backs" of the enemies of the great commission. Illustrating to us the process of "spiritual mapping," Wagner shows how we can lay siege to the demonic garrisons that have ravaged the attempts to take our cities for Christ.

Reading this book will allow you to glimpse at the "hidden war" in the heavenlies. You will see how the "ruling spirit" in an Argentinean city was taken down. You will learn about common hideouts of demonic entrenchment. These places were often established by secret societies that have designed and built many of our cities, thus shaping our spiritual history. You will gain insight in how to gather information to perform spiritual mapping--mapping the strategic spiritual strongholds. Finally you will learn through example how to overcome these strongholds through prayer walks, prophetic prayer actions (PPAs), and strategic intercessory spiritual warfare.

Attempting to advance the kingdom of God without attacking on the spiritual level is like feeling for the light switch in a dark room while being punched at. I wouldn't advise it.

5 out of 5 stars "Our struggle...is against the powers of this dark world.".......2000-10-25

In the seven volumes of the "Prayer Warrior" series, C. Peter Wagner introduces the reader to what is happening on the front lines of the international prayer movement. This volume deals with "spiritual mapping", which uses a combination of research and spiritual gifts to identify demonic forces and patterns of sinful behavior that keep a city or region in spiritual bondage. This knowledge can then be used by intercessors to target their prayers to weaken and overcome these hindrances to God's work. Wagner acknowledges that, while there are biblical passages that support this approach, the real proof is in the results. In particular, Wagner cites tremendous breakthroughs in evangelism and church planting in regions formerly resistant to the gospel that result from spiritual mapping followed by targeted intercessory prayer. A fascinating, compelling book that should be read by anyone interested in missions, evangelism, or intercessory prayer.

5 out of 5 stars A New Strategy For A New Day.......2000-04-06

Wagner has once again contributed useful information to the body of Christ. Let's continue to keep HIM in our prayers so that the Lord will continue to use HIM as He's used him to write this book.

4 out of 5 stars Strategical and helpful.......2000-03-30

I found this book to be very helpful in becomming more strategical in my prayers. Dr. Wagner has once again taken a chance to break away from the status quo and serve the body with practical information. He will always have his critics, yet it is unmistakable that he is being used to further the great commission in obvious ways. Jonathan Edwards once said something to the effect of genuine works of the Spirit being accompanied by friction. Praise God for fresh strategies that will help us to get the job done!

4 out of 5 stars SPIRITUAL WARFARE: WORLD VIEW AND EXEGESIS.......2002-03-17

This is not a great book, but it is helpful. C. Peter Wagner is not a biblical exegete nor a thelogian, so some of his work doesn't seem very solid or deep to his more serious readers. Here he takes steps to remedy this problem and to provide a biblical/theological framework for his views on spiritual warfare. The material is not on the same level as Clinton Arnold, but it would be unfair to expect this. I was at times inspired and informed by the book, and a number of passages started me on some serious expeditions of personal study. I would give this book a thumbs up to anyone who is interested in the subject.

5 out of 5 stars Good for foundation!.......2007-01-05

This book gave some very great insight into prayer, prayer positions, ways to hear God. It also gives you a scheduled prayer of areas to focus on daily. Which is good and I agree with Colin.
As I've grown, I've seen how this book can be a hindrance because the reader can tend to pray the written prayers instead of seeking God for revelation on areas Holy Spirit may direct you to pray. BUT, it does offer great foundation and structure. The knowledge and revelation God imparted to Alves is priceless!!! It also encourages readers to use their prayer language. She also gives some profound testimonies which is a plus. All in all the book is good!

1 out of 5 stars good book for anyone who wants to learn more.......2001-11-15

I will probably make lots of people mad with my review. When I give the book only one star, I do not mean that it is a horrible book. For me, I could not connect with the book. However, I do not think that it is necessarily an awful book. On the contrary, I think that it would be a wonderful book. A friend of mine is reading this book and thinks it is absolutely excellent.

I think this is first and foremost a good book for anyone just starting out to learn about the discipline of prayer; it's purpose is served best as an introductory book. It would also be useful for anyone who wants a refresher or wants some additional insights on prayer-- the sections in the book on spiritual armor(Ephesians 6) and the names of God are worth the price of the book alone.

I suppose why I couldn't connect with the book is that the above mentioned sections are the only parts of the book that I could connect with. I don't like prayer books with prayer scripts already written out b/c I feel like I'm forcing myself to pray a "formula" prayer. Also, for me the prayer schedule in the back of the book is confusing. It seemed to me like she was endorsing only her method of prayer, and that if you prayed in "her" way, you would be guaranteed answers to prayer that you wanted.

5 out of 5 stars A practical volume for Christian intercession.......2000-11-01

My church is in the process of creating a permanent prayer room on our campus. Elizabeth Alves book is the one I'm recommending for our leadership team as we attempt to make good decisions. She covers the essentials while pointing towards the depth of true intercession. I heartily recommend "Becoming a Prayer Warrior"!

5 out of 5 stars Personal Path Back to the Church.......2005-11-27

Michael Brown, a successful journalist, in this book shares his own experiences and provides witness to the spiritual battle of good versus evil. And how evil seems to be the actual definition of the time we live in. He shows us that one of Satan's greatest powers is convince people he does not exist. While all along he is deceiving the world.

He shows us how the demonic forces have intruded into almost every aspect of modern life. And has been welcomed in our modern culture. Mr. Brown also shows us what he has learned on his spiritual journey. That as the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been saying for years, Prayer and love will drive these fallen angels away. And from that arsenal, the Rosary and Mass our best weapons.

5 out of 5 stars Soul Food.......2002-08-02

This wonderful book will appeal to those Christians who understand that the mystical is real and who do not subscribe to a cynical interpretation of Scripture. Michael Brown's journey from a secular life as a journalist to a devotional life centered on the Blessed Virgin Mother will console those who struggle to sustain their faith in the post-Christian paganism of the contemporary world. The central theme of the book is spiritual warfare against the demonic realities which surround us and which have penetrated almost every aspect of popular culture. The book maintains a sober balance between the recognition that evil is an ontological, personal reality and the Catholic hopefulness that it cannot overcome us. In simple, lucid prose Mr. Brown describes the life of the spiritual warrior whose main weapons are the rosary, Mass and prayer. He discusses the significance of the many Marian apparitions in the last 150 years and recounts his own experiences at Medjugorge. Michael Brown reminds us that penance, humility and quiet devotion are essential to our own salvation and for the amelioration of the coming chastisements.

5 out of 5 stars Gripping story of personal spiritual warfare.......2000-04-09

This is a story of the author's personal spiritual journey home to Christianity. It begins with him being of the world and all about his career and worldly goals. Then after some Angelic intervention, Mr. Brown begins his long journey. That changes his whole outlook on life and the world around him. It is a riveting and emotional tale. Mr. Brown is an accomplished investigative journalist. His strong research style adds an air of credibility to a very personal story that leads deeply into spiritual warfare. He effectively sprinkles guidance and prayers along with the narrative of his journey. This is a powerful book. I could not put it down.

Book Description

God's Word is the strongest weapon in our spiritual artillery. Quin Sherrer and Ruthanne Garlock believe that when we use the Bible in intercession and warfare, we bind the power of the evil one and declare God's promises and victory for our life and the lives of those we love. In this book they guide the reader in applying biblical promises to every area of life, whether it's illness, financial trouble, depression, concern for wayward loved ones, unemployment, or confusion.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Prayer Guide.......2000-06-07

This book is one of the few books that I re-read periodically. It is an excellent guide to pray. It builds your faith to believe. It has excellent examples of answered prayer. It also has sample prayers to pray for loved ones.

This book is packed with wisdom. Each time I read it, I learn something new. Other than the Bible, it is THE SOURCE for learning to pray effectively.

Book Description

When Satan and his troops interfere with God's work here on earth, you know it's time to take action. But how can you do it? The answer is prayer. Satan's forces are doing whatever they can to keep us from reaching the lost with the goodnews of Jesus Christ. But God has given us power over the forces of darkness---when we come to Him in committed, sincere prayer. In this book, you'll find that using prayer as a weapon is only meaningful as it makes us more effective in reaching the lost. You'll learn what it takes to step out against the demonic realm cautiously and wisely, as an informed and prepared warrior.

4 out of 5 stars General evaluation of Warfare Prayer.......2005-07-22

1. Is this an in depth presentation?
This book is a ground breaking study on territorial principalities and power and how to engage in spiritual warfare against them. Dr. Wagner draws from many real life examples, but readily admits that we have only begun scratching the surface and that a lot more study and maturing is necessary with regards to the understanding of strategic level warfare principles.

2. Did I agree with the way that the author interprets scripture?
In many instances in the book the author points out that one of the primary objections against strategic level warfare is that there is no specific mandate in the bible that it should be done. This has also been my primary concern with regards to strategic level warfare. The author devotes a large section of his book addressing this issue. In Chapter 5 (Territoriality then and now) the author argues that throughout the old and new testament it was taken for granted that certain spirits ruled over certain geographical areas. He uses many scriptural references in the hope that together they will form a coherent picture. Though difficult for our post-modern minds to accept I do agree with Dr. Wagner. The next question that automatically follows after accepting the fact that there are spirits assigned to territories is: "Do we have the authority to come against them?" Once again Dr. Wagner makes a very convincing case that God is raising up certain people to do exactly that in Chapter 7.

3. Was there any new information?
This book was almost entirely new information to me. The most useful information in this book is that which is presented in chapters 6, 9 and 10. In chapter 6 the author gives the preconditions of a Christian who wants to get involved in strategic level warfare. They are:
* Submitting to God - seeing him as Lord.
* Drawing near to God - having a vital prayer life.
* Cleansing our hands and our hearts - living holy lives (though we do not have to be perfect).

In chapter 9 the author gives 6 rules for taking a city for Christ. They are:
* Identifying an appropriate are (well boundaried and not to large)
* Getting the pastors of that area to stand in unity and regularly pray for the area.
* Getting the entire body of Christ involved (not just the Charismatics or Pentocostals)
* Prepare spiritually as described in Chapter 6.
* Prepare strategically by researching the area in terms of past history, sins of the people in that area and also by using the spiritual gift of discernment.
* Involve intercessors that have been gifted to do battle on this level of warfare.

In chapter 10 the author gives a list of potential pitfalls to be avoided:
* Being ignorant of the concept of spiritual warfare or the danger involved in spiritual warfare
* Being fearful of the enemy.
* Underestimating the enemy.
* Overestimating yourself and being arrogant in spiritual warfare.
* Not being covered in prayer by fellow warriors.
* Not waiting on God and not being guided by Him in warfare prayer.
* Being impatient and running ahead of God's timing.

4. What impact did the book have on me?
The book inspired me to seek God for an increase in personal holiness. It also made me think of the spiritual powers assigned to my own life and my family in general. It has inspired me to pray for discernment for knowing what they are and guidance in praying against them.

5 out of 5 stars Necessary for warfare prayer.......2000-02-26

My interest has come to be warfare prayer in many areas. I use it in the areas of prayer for: elders and ministers, petitions, personal and many others. I have found this book to be extremely useful for this. It gives you not only basic help for how to do this type of prayer, it also gives you Scriptural backing for why. It also underscores how important prayer is in the life of the Christian. The book also gives some guidelines on how to do warfare prayer, if you should be doing warfare and other such topics. I would recommend this book for anyone that is interested in doing warfare prayer and would also recommend it to congregations as a tool for having warfare prayer as part of their prayer ministry.

4 out of 5 stars Strategy for the GLORY of GOD.......1999-11-19

This book has helped me to understand warfare prayer on a greater level. NOt only is it filled with practical data and experiences, but it is also biblically sound. Dr. Wagner has succeeded in informing intercessors and aspiring intercessors to strategically take back what belongs to the LORD.
