Shalom Soldier,
I greet you fellow soldiers from U.S, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, London, Ghana, Qatar, S. Africa, Philippines and Zambia. I pray God will add to the numbers greatly.... Acts 6:7
We thank God that we are increasing daily through spheres of influence. God is touching people from different nations to be part of this prayer movement of great men and women called for battle and intercession. Being a true soldier is not for the faint in heart. Spiritual warfare can be work, it can also be very dangerous if a believer doesn't pay attention. Once a person enters a battle, they need to see it through without quitting.
A good soldier has a faith in God that cannot be shaken. They rely completely on God for the wisdom, understanding and methods by which to pray down strongholds. The soldier is not to rely on their own strength or knowledge, they operate in the realm of God's Spirit.
Spiritual Authority is NOT automatic. It is something you get from God when you have overcome the devil and carnality in your own life. To gain spiritual authority, a person must conquer himself first.
John 14:30 "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me."
The reason Jesus had authority over devils is because He resisted him on His 40 day fast. By resisting the devil and denying His own flesh, Satan was not able to have any sin in Jesus. There was nothing in the life of Jesus that Satan could claim as his own. And there-in lies the key to spiritual authority.
Continue to pray for Dr Hansen, he has an upcoming trip to Kenya. He is to sit with leaders of the church to bring about unity between them so they have a sole goal and that's to bring reformation. The ministry still needs financial breakthrough, press on that persistently so we break the resistance we are experiencing. May God strengthen you daily. We are praying for you as well.
God bless you and Shalom,
Adalia Hansen
