OPEN HEAVEN REFLECTION: THE MILITANT CHURCH

DATE: THURSDAY, 29TH JANUARY, 2026


(JUDICIAL WARFARE)


“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)


I. THE STRATEGIC CONTEXT: CONFRONTING THE WEAPONIZED SLAVE


As we conclude this series on “Understanding Satanic Traps,” we move from “Personal Vigilance” to “Judicial Authority.” In Part II, we discussed the “Willing Captive”—those who know they are in bondage but prefer their chains because of the dark power or carnal control it grants them.

The dilemma for the believer in 2026 is: How do we deal with people who are using their satanic traps to oppress us? When a person willfully hosts a demon to manipulate their family, business, or community, they have become a “Weaponized Slave.” In such cases, the Church must exercise “Judicial Deliverance.” We are not merely praying for their “comfort”; we are issuing “Restraining Orders” in the spirit realm to bind the demons they carry and to compel them toward the Light of Christ.


II. THE FORTIFICATION OF THE INTERCESSOR


A footman cannot bring down a giant if he is wearing the giant’s clothes. To exercise authority over satanic traps, the believer must be perpetually fortified. This requires a lifestyle of:

  1. Ceaseless Prayer: Keeping the “Spiritual Radar” active.
  2. Sacrificial Fasting: Breaking the hold of the flesh to sharpen spiritual resonance.
  3. Biblical Obedience: Ensuring there is no “Legal Ground” for the enemy to counter-attack.

DEEP-LEVEL WARFARE PRAYER POINTS


THE OMNIPOTENCE OF THE DELIVERER: Father, I worship You as the Almighty God. I adore You because You are abundantly able to deliver and to save to the uttermost those who call upon You. I celebrate Your power that is superior to every occultic throne and satanic altar, in Jesus’ name.

THE EMPOWERMENT OF THE ORDNANCE: Father, I thank You for fortifying me with the spiritual weapons of our warfare—which are not carnal but mighty through God. I thank You for empowering me to silence the works of darkness in my environment, in the name of Jesus.

THE ISAIAH 61 MANDATE: Father, thank You for Your Spirit upon me. Thank You for anointing me to preach good tidings to the meek, to bind up the brokenhearted, and to proclaim liberty to the captives. I receive the grace for the “Opening of the Prison” to them that are bound, even those bound by their own choices, in Jesus’ name.

THE LIFESTYLE OF THE ALTAR: Father, please help me to stay permanently fortified in You. Grant me the discipline to live a life of daily fasting and praying without ceasing. Let my “Inner Man” be consistently charged with the fire of the Holy Ghost, in Jesus’ name.

THE VIGILANCE OF THE WATCHMAN: Father, help me never to lose my guard. Deliver me from spiritual lethargy. Grant me the alertness to see the “Satanic Baits” before they become “Enslaving Traps.” I refuse to be a victim of spiritual distraction, in Jesus’ name.

JUDICIAL BINDING OF OPPRESSORS: Father, in the name of Jesus, I stand against every “Willing Slave” of the devil who is using their occultic power to oppress me or my family. I place every demon working through them under Immediate Captivity! I bind the “Strongman” operating in their lives and paralyze their spiritual influence over my territory, in Jesus’ name!

THE COERCION OF LIGHT: Father, let the demons and evil powers in the unrepentant begin to work against their hosts! Let there be a “Civil War” in the camp of the enemy. Let the darkness they love become a source of torment to them until they seek the Light of Christ, in Jesus’ name!

THE WITHDRAWAL OF PEACE: Father, until these willing captives surrender to the saving power of Jesus Christ, let them lose their peace! Disturb their sleep; unsettle their hearts; let their “Bait” become “Bitterness” in their mouths until they cry out for the Great Deliverer, in Jesus’ name!

THE PROTECTION OF DESTINY: Father, help me to run far away from anything that can destroy Your glorious plans for my life. I choose complete obedience to Your instructions. I commit myself to spiritual growth so that I may exercise the full “Jurisdiction of Authority” You have given me, in Jesus’ name.

THE IMMEDIATE ARREST: At this moment, I use the Keys of the Kingdom to bind every demon operating in any willing victim around my workplace, my home, and my ministry. I command those spirits to CEASE AND DESIST from their operations against my destiny, in the Mighty Name of Jesus!


III. INTERCESSION FOR THE GENERAL & THE BODY


FOR THE GENERAL OVERSEER: Father, send fresh help to Your son, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye. Multiply his anointing and physical strength in this year 2026. Grant him the “Finishing Grace” to end well and strong. Bless his biological and spiritual lineage, and let them continue to produce giants for Your Kingdom, in Jesus’ name.

FOR THE MEDIA MINISTERS: Father, bless Your son used to prepare these points and all who re-broadcast them. Let their rewards be “Beyond Measure.” Grant them protection from the backlash of the enemy, in Jesus’ name.

FOR THE FLOW OF REVELATION: Father, remove every technical, financial, or spiritual obstacle hindering the timely delivery of these prayer points to Your children. Let the Word run swiftly and be glorified, in Jesus’ name.

PERSONAL PETITION: (Specific “Willing Captives” or “Oppressive Systems” you are facing…)

SEALING THE DECREE: I seal these prayers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I walk out of this prayer session as a “Giant-Slayer” and a “Trap-Breaker.” In Jesus’ mighty name I have prayed. (John 14:13).


IV. FINAL THOUGHTS: THE JURISDICTION OF THE GATE


The authority of the believer is not “Suggestion”; it is “Legislation.” When you bind the spirits in a willing slave, you are exercising the “Sovereignty of the Kingdom” over a rebellious territory. Go forth today knowing that the “Lord of the Sabbath” and the “God of the Armies of Israel” is backing every word you speak in His Name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION: I decree that every “Satanic Trap” set for you this month is turned into a “Step-Up” to your next level! Those who plotted your downfall shall witness your coronation, and the peace of God shall be your fortress, in Jesus’ Name!
