- We are dealing with a spirit of lawlessness. All lawlessness is rebellion. The Bible tells us that there will be escalated lawlessness in these last days. In order to pray effectively we ought to understand the level of lawlessness we are dealing with.
- What is going on is a spirit of rebellion which is similar to witchcraft as revealed in 1 Sam 15:23. Witchcraft is not only a power or religion or spirit. It is a foundational principle or operating system of a kingdom. In breaking away from the kingdom of YHVH, Lucifer committed high treason and instituted an opposing kingdom with himself as its ruler. He formed the kingdom of darkness which operates on the principle of rebellion and therefore a kingdom of witchcraft.
- The subject of pillars of kingdoms is very deep and vast but for purposes of prayer this is a small brief: Proverbs 9.1 informs us that Wisdom builds her house hewn on 7 pillars. Every household, whether, the nuclear family unit, or a clan, tribe, nation or a kingdom, is established on 7 clearly definable pillars.
