Matthew 18:18 states: “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”Our prayer meetings should be more than a sweet, cozy, chitchat with pious platitudes that sound religious. OuR prayers must have teeth in them. They should have backbone, fervor, and faith.
If we do not pray it through, we will most likely not see it through. That means we will not see our enemies broken in the natural realm until we have first broken them in the spiritual realm through strong battle axe praying.
Psalm 81:10: “Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Ask big things from God and He will give big answers.
Our prayer meetings must trample down our enemies. Our prayer meetings must become war rooms. We saw this explained in The War Room movie.
A battle ground is the ground of earnest, prevailing prayer. It is the desperate cutting power of a righteous man when he chops down the towers of the enemy in prayer. It is the earnest, effectual, prayer of a righteous man that availeth much (James 5:16).
May God save us from blunt axe warfare with no zeal, no heart, and no fervor. James 5:16 says: “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
No standing on the promises equals no victory. Do we understand the importance of pleading His promises? It’s better to stand on the promises than sit on the premises!
Before we pray, we should examine our hearts as to whether we really mean business with God, whether we rally care that much if He hears and answers. Do we have a strong desire for what we are praying?
Battle axe prayer meetings should include biblical, imprecatory prayers, e.g. Psalm 69:22-28. David’s enemies are God’s enemies.
Our battle axe prayer meetings break the spiritual chains from off our leaders. When you pray next, ask the Lord to break the chains of darkness of evil doers.
Jesus calls us to pray for those who persecute us in Matthew 5:43-45. We can bless them with prayers for their repentance, but if they will not repent and for the sake of many innocent people being destroyed and tortured, we must pray that the wicked will be toppled off their thrones so that will not be able to continue their evil atrocities.
Whatever the means God uses to topple them off their thrones will lessen the judgment when they stand before God and give an account for their wicked deeds. This type of praying will in fact spare them from being accountable for crimes they would have committed if they were continuing their wicked ways. Our prayers to topple them off their thrones will lessen their evil deeds.
Many of David’s prayers contained battle axe ingredients. We must pray against principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world through imprecatory praying (Ephesians 6:11-20).
Keep your battle axe sharp!
Ecclesiastes 10:10 TLB says: “A DULL AXE REQUIRES GREAT STRENGTH; BE WISE AND SHARPEN THE BLADE.”
Be encouraged.

Our God is a man of war. Exodus 15:6 states: “The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.”
I am sure that you must be so concerned, as I am, that they want to indoctrinate the children and young people of our nation with this deceptive Critical Race Theory.
The truckers have become God’s battering ram in Ottawa, Canada. However, we need battering ram prayer meetings to back them up and support their effort.
We are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. We must keep pushing back the enemy. Pushing back in the spirit of prayer against the tyranny. The fight continues in Ottawa. Pray for a great breakthrough for freedom. It's not by might, not by power but by God's Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).
...AND STANDING UP FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE.
"Let God be true, and every man a liar"
Prayer is indeed a mighty spiritual weapon of war. God does not call us to something He will not answer.
We cannot sit idly by while this nation is being pushed into tyranny. This is the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Exercise your right to freedom.
Make sure you read God's Word to your family before they leave the meal table. We must feed their bodies, but their spirits are even more important. Don't let them grow up big and tall physically and yet their inner man is shriveled and starving. (1 John 2:13, 14).
