The spiritual warrior: an intercessor to bring freedom to the captives
Source
I. The Spiritual Warrior is above all an intercessor (see Exodus 32: 7-14, Psalm 106: 21-23)
Intimacy with God is fundamental for spiritual warriors (John 15: 5)
to. Christians must cultivate a faith and dependence on God that affirms us as winners
b. If we do not pray and depend on God, Satan will take advantage of any carelessnessThe spiritual warrior is sensitive to the reality in which he develops (Habakkuk 1: 2, 3)
The spiritual warrior intercedes for those who are in danger of losing themselves for eternity (Genesis 18: 23-33)
The spiritual warrior-like his captain the Lord Jesus-ministers freedom to the captives (Luke 4: 14-19, Mark 3:14, 15, Luke 9: 1, 2)
II. The spiritual warrior ministers liberation to spiritual and emotional captives (Psalm 68: 6)
- Satan takes advantage of people's emotional wounds to bind them spiritually and emotionally (2 Corinthians 2:10, 11; Ephesians 4:26, 27)
to. The Lord Jesus Christ frees himself from emotional wounds
b. The Lord Jesus Christ frees himself from the demonic bonds
c. The Lord Jesus Christ frees himself from what prevents him from getting ahead
"The simplistic and hasty responses can be not only unfair but also very harmful. Psychological problems that we could solve in a rather easy way can almost destroy us when they are identified by Satan "(Mark I. Bubeck," Overcoming the adversary. "Spokesman, USA 1984. Pg 30)

- By ministering to a captive, we bring all their burdens to the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 11: 28-30).
III. As spiritual warriors we teach those who come out of captivity, not to open doors again to Satan
Who gains advantage with the permanence of the spiritual wounds we experience, is our spiritual Adversary. God's purpose is for there to be permanent healing in our inner world (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
to. Emotional wounds begin with a traumatic event that turns into resentment and gives rise to hatred. From then on bitterness of heart takes place and takes strength until the person is brought to physical and spiritual destruction.
b. Satan takes advantage of emotional wounds (see Ephesians 4:27)It is fundamental that we teach them not to incur again in deliberate sin because it gives "legal right" to Satan to oppress people (Romans 6.12)
We must remind you that the redeeming work of the Lord Jesus makes you free from all captivity (Acts 2:14, 15)
As spiritual warriors, we are called to minister in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ to those who are under emotional captivity. We know that it is a condition that the spiritual enemy, Satan, wants to take advantage of, but we have assured victory. Our beloved Lord urged us to bring into His presence our burdens-which include emotional wounds-in the certainty that He sets us free (see Matthew 11: 28-30).
We often use the word intercession as a synonym for prayer. In ordinary conversations it is acceptable, but not when we use them technically. Prayer, in a general sense, means to speak to God. Intercession is to join God in favor of another. All intercession is a prayer, but not every prayer is an intercession. The Lord tells us through the prophet Ezekiel: "And I sought among them a man that fenced off and stood in the breach before me, in behalf of the earth, so that I would not destroy it; and I did not find it "(Ezekiel 22:30). This is a clear reference to intercession.
Intercession is the least popular ministry but it is the most effective to carry God's purpose from spiritual reality to the secular plane. Good message, thank you for sharing. God bless you always
We are spiritual warriors who must reaffirm our conviction in the struggle to become God's reaffirming children. We must continue fighting because in our soul the light of the Lord prevails over everything, sometimes we fight against ourselves without realizing it...
How necessary is the intersection hopefully every day you get more men and women with this ministry
We regularly utilize the word mediation as an equivalent word for petition. In common discussions it is adequate, however not when we utilize them actually. Supplication, in a general sense, intends to address God. Intervention is to join God for another. All intervention is a supplication, yet only one out of every odd petition is a mediation. The Lord lets us know through the prophet Ezekiel: "And I looked for among them a man that fenced off and remained in the break before me, in sake of the earth, with the goal that I would not annihilate it; and I didn't discover it "(Ezekiel 22:30). This is a reasonable reference to intervention.
We are profound warriors who must reaffirm our conviction in the battle to end up God's reaffirming youngsters. We should keep battling on the grounds that in our spirit the light of the Lord beats everything, in some cases we battle against ourselves without acknowledging it...
