INTRODUCTION

Do you truly want to make a difference in this world? Do you want your
generations to be different because you knew Christ and the power of
his resurrection? DO you know what destructive violent prayer is?

Destructive violent faith and prayers are the kind that the Israelites
prayed and God answered and set them free from Egypt. For it is written
in Exodus 2:24 that And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage,
and they cried out and their cry rose up to God.” The scripture then tells
us that “God heard their groaning... and God took notice of them”.

God has a plan for your life, but right now you are either in that plan or
out of it. You are not an experiment or an accident, but a unique and
specially created person by God, who knew and equipped you before
your mother and father ever brought you into the world.

If you do not take hold of your destiny, guard and protect it, you will lose
it, because there is a conspiracy and battle going on to steal life virtues,
destinies and to dislocate and disinherit people. There is a department in
the dark world that destroys life and blessings, that kills vision and
destinies. When vision is lost, people do not pursue their life goal and will
not manifest or fulfill destinies.

When there is no vision, there is no destiny and when one is relocated
and dislocated out of God‖s placed position and will, destiny has been
relocated and life twisted also. To every man or woman of destiny, there
is a conspiracy and treachery in the dark world of spiritual wickedness.

9

There are destiny, marriage, carrier and health killers that disorient life,
and there are as well, powers that disinherit people, demote and
dethrone them from their throne of life and glory.
Our walk with God is enhanced by our revelation of God and revelation
of God is enhanced by the fullness of the Spirit. Yes, the Spirit of God
certainly will reveal God. It is true that God can turn impossibilities to
possibilities but this cannot be experienced without an encounter with
Holy Ghost.

CHAPTER

01

THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE

In the Bible we have the facts and history of man‖s redemption. Other
worlds and other beings are brought into prominence in light of
redemption‖s purposes and plans. These revealed facts, whether
incidental or essential, are to our faith what the facts of nature are to the
biology student. They must shape theories and settle opinions. They
must not be set aside and reason must not ignore or reject them, but
must lay them as the solid foundation of all investigation, the basis of
every hypothesis.

These Bible facts demand our faith, though we may not reach out into
the known regions where harmony reigns, but the word of God brings
clearly to light the unseen world, its persons, places, facts, and history.
These are revealed not in minute detail, but with enough information to
provoke and inspire faith.

In the bible the devil is presented as the evil one, and owner of every evil
in the world. He is a graduate in the school of deception, planting
problems and evil. In his actions, the world is at stake, man was to be
seduced, inflicted with adversities, miseries, disorder and disability, and
Eden was corrupted, because of his evil trade. He was before earthly life,
Eden does not date his birth and it is not the first chapter of his history or
the first test of his hellish art.

We have no access to the archives of his past, Eden bounds our horizon
and devil was there, and sowed tares that inflicted, demoted,
disinherited and relocated our first parent. Since that time, his history
has run parallel with the human race and when he meets any person, he
do his work, to demote, disinherit and relocate the person out of life,

11

God‖s will and destiny. Humans are the object of his schemes, his
destructive devices and his ambition. Earth is the favourite scene of his
exploits, He is at cradle of every baby, and he has much to do in shaping
each person‖s character and determining his destiny.

The Bible is a revelation, not a philosophy or a poem, not a science. It
reveals things and persons as they are living and acting outside the range
of earthly vision or natural discovery. Bible revelations are not against
reason but above reason. They require the exercise of faith, man‖s
highest faculty. The powers of reason are not able to discover these Bible
facts. Yet, these facts are for reason‖s use, its light, strength, and higher
elevation. But most essentially they are to form, nourish and perfect
faith.

The Bible reveals the devil and his demons as a person not a mere figure,
not simply an influence. They are not only a personification, but also real
evil forces that manufactures problem. There was no problem in Eden, in
Adam and Eve until the devil visited and interacts with them.

For it is written in Genesis 3:15-19 15 I will make you and the woman hate
each other; her offspring and yours will always be enemies... “I will
increase your trouble in pregnancy and your pain in giving birth. In spite
of this, you will still have desire for your husband, yet you will be subject
to him.” 17 And he said to the man... the ground will be under a curse. You
will have to work hard all your life to make it produce enough food for
you. 18 It will produce weeds and thorns, and you will have to eat wild
plants. 19 You will have to work hard and sweat to make the soil produce
anything, until you go back to the soil from which you were formed. You
were made from soil, and you will become soil again.”

When the devil visited Eve the following took place to the woman she
got hated, enmity, increase in trouble, pain and subjection, but, to the
man his blessed ground was curse and blessings removed, hard work and
reap a little, weeds and thorns. Also, all his children received hatred and
enemy of the devil and his demons and anyone they possess.

Many myths have gathered around the person of the devil throughout
the ages. Much poetry, tradition, and even our fears have caricatured his

12

person, exaggerated his character, and coloured his conduct. But there is
truth in regard to him, naked and simple truth. Because, we have
generational, foundational and traditional and self-acquired cures, spells,
load, adversities, miseries, poverty, hard luck, hardship, barrenness,
sickness, increase in trouble and pain, work so hard and gain a little,
dream eating, sex dreams, spirit marriage, incest, adultery, fornication,
stealing, destruction and murder, etc., anywhere the devil visits evil,
problems and adversities flood and flourish.

There is much truth that needs to be learned about the devil, and no age
needs the plain, unvarnished truth about him more than this generation.
We need the light of that truth as a warning, as an incentive to vigilance
and an inspiration to effort. We need the knowledge about the enemy,
his character, presence, and power in order to arouse men to action. This
knowledge is vital to victory because all that do the work of the devil and
those that serve him are possessed of the devil and his hand is in them.

The devil is one, but his angels are many and they do possess people to
accomplish the devils aim. The witchcraft persons, Satanist, occultist,
sorcerers, voodooist, psychics‖, spiritualists, native doctors, cheaters,
liars, fornicators, adulterators, idol worshippers, deceivers, killers,
dupers, gossipers, perverse, rapist, homosexuals, lesbians, masturbators
and etc., are but Satan‖s advocates and instruments. Though, they are
possessed in different level, for they are in different categories and size,
and so, are their deeds, abilities and knowledge in evil, in evil activities, in
evil powers and investments of the devil in them

These are the characters and personalities that make up the false and
devil religion. Some said they were Jews, but they were called the
“synagogue of Satan.” Are there churches which are called Christian, but
are churches of Satan? In Christ‖s letters to the seven churches in Asia,
we see how the ascended and enthroned Son of God presents the same
view of the devil. The “depths” of Satan are referred to in the address to
Thyatira {Revelation 2:24). In this Revelation of Christ to John, the devil
is still declared to be “the great dragon, the old serpent, the devil and
Satan” {20:2}.He is declared to have great” wrath.”

13

The devil‖s power is greatly and strangely enhanced by his system of
worship which, while it degrades, bewitches, inflicts and destroys,
fascinates many people. The system of immoral life and pagan worship
and devotion is very powerful. It holds its devotees by iron chains. It is
not a work of chance, and it does not spring from native religious
instincts. It is a system of rare power and skill constructed by a graduate
in the craft of seduction and delusion, Satan‖s hand is at the root of all
immoral life and pagan or idol worship in planning, ordering and inspiring
it. It is this fact which gives it strength and influence.

Jeroboam perverted the religious instinct and debased worship for
sinister, worldly and selfish purposes. It is said he ordained priests for the
devils, and the psalmist declared they sacrificed unto devils and in the
New Testament declares that “the things which the ungodly sacrifice,
they sacrifice to the devils and not to God and I would not want you to
have fellowship with devils. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the
cup of devils; you cannot be partakers of the Lord‖s Table and of the table
of devils” {1 Corinthians 10:20-21). Again we have it declared, “Now the
Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to seducing and lying spirits, and doctrines of
devils” {1 Timothy 4:1).

The intensity and power of the devil‖s worship and inspired immorality is
illustrated and enforce in the last book of the New Testament. It shows
how his worship and immoral life will increase in intensity and war
against the worship of the Lamb. Since almost the beginning of man,
there have been rival altars and rival worship. The devil is the author,
inspirer and protector of the one; and Christ is the author, inspirer and
protector of true and pure worship. There are wonders and miracles in
both. There are martyrs in the false and devilish, as well as in the true and
heavenly.

When the devil fell, others fell with him and this is what God‖s Word
teaches us. We have no record of the number of these fallen spirits. In
Ephesians these unseen foes are spoken of as “spiritual hosts.” An
uncounted, uncountable number {Ephesians 6:12 R.S.V.} How
innumerable they are, we cannot tell. The demoniac of Gadara was
named “Legion because many devils were entered into him” [Luke 8:30).

14

A legion was somewhat less than six thousand. Their number must be
great because they permit so many demons to possess one man, or allow
seven to control one woman as Mary Magdalene.

There is a statement in Revelation that the great red dragon with “his tail
did draw the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth” [Revelation 12:4]. This may be a reference to the fall of the angels
and their number. The Bible clearly states that the devil has a host of
angelic followers who are ready and eager in their efforts to hurt man
and defeat God‖s kingdom on earth.

You cannot demonstrate the power of God, unless you are ready to come
into confrontation with the devil standing against you, manifesting and
fulfilling your destiny, Gods will and purpose. Christ says that the devil is
a great, mighty and wicked person who is the sower of all evil, as Christ is
the sower of all good. “The field is the world; the good seed are the
children of the Kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
the enemy that sowed them is the devil... {Matthew 13:38, 39}.

There are evil sowed against you, against you fulfilling your destiny,
God‖s purpose, enjoying your glory, there are evil sowed against your
blessings, health, peace, anointing, greatness, abilities, marriage, carrier,
there are evil sowed against your freedom, might and power. You must
wage war against this evil sowed with destructive violent prayers, faith
and holy violence, because there is no alternative, than you must
manifest and fulfil destiny.

It is unfortunate that the ministry of violent prayers has been neglected
by the majority. Many are satisfied with treading the path of least
resistance and succumbing to the poverty, hard luck, shame, late
marriage, pains, sickness, unfruitfulness, and other evil sowed in their
life. Christians who are supposed to live like soldiers of Jesus Christ
prefer to lie on the sofa of ease and comfort of life without fulfilment. In
the Bible the personality of the devil is made a reality. He is not only the
source of evil to others, but the embodiment of evil in a person. The
Revised Standard Version makes this clear. The petition in the Lord‖s
Prayer, “Deliver us from evil,” becomes personal, “Deliver us form the
evil one,” {Matthew 6:13).

15

There is no victory without violence and no conquest without warfare.
The pathway of holy violence is the only route that will lead you to the
city of victory and mountain of conquest. You must fight the good fight of
faith if you want to win the conquerors‖ crown. In any case, failure to go
into holy violence with the forces that refused to let you manifest and
fulfil your destiny will only help you to achieve failures and unfilled life.

Also, failure to take a violence faith and using destructive violent prayers
against powers contending against your prosperity and progress will not
grant you immunity from deadly attacks that may even take your life. If
you refuse to attack the powers and things contending with you, they will
attack and continue to contend against you. If you fail to exercise your
authority in Christ, the devil will exercise his authority over you.

We find many references hints, and reminders of the power and
personality of the devil coming out in the ministry of Christ. The name
“devil” invests him with an infamous personality and clothes him with all
the deceit, craft and cruelty attached to that name. By the name “Satan,”
Christ puts him as the adversary of God and man. By designating him as
“the prince of this world.” Christ recognizes Satan‖ royal power and ruling
authority over evil in this world. The devil‖s ability to affect the body with
sickness, cause adversities, miseries and other problems is not merely
hinted at, but taken for granted in the gospel.

The conflict between the devil and Jesus is seen in the Lord‖s Prayer. It is
that perfect and universal prayer which Jesus puts in the heart and lips of
His people. We have seen, according to the Revised Standard Version.
This petition of conflict, peril, warning, and safety “Deliver us from the
evil one...” {Matthew 6:1 3). Evil is comparatively harmless, feeble and
inert without the presence of its mighty inspirer. Deliverance from the
devil is deliverance from the many evils of which the devil is the source
and inspiration.

The days of complacency and living as non-conformists are over. The
Bible has declared, unequivocally, that from the time of John the Baptist,
the kingdom of God suffered violence and the violent takes it by force.

16

Therefore, we are living in the era of holy violence. We are also fighting
with a devil that can neither be begged nor appeased. The only language
the devil understands is the language of violence and resounding defeat.
You must take up your arms, therefore, and fight until every foe is
vanquished and Christ is Lord indeed. The ministry of violent faith and
destructive prayers is the ministry which every soldier of Jesus Christ,
child of God, especially believers who live in these last days, cannot
afford to disregard.

In the sixth chapter of Ephesians, the Christian is presented as a soldier
in character armour, conduct and courage. Because of the devil‖s power,
which he have passed to his children and because the Christian‖s warfare
is mainly against him and evil, we are urged to, “Put on the whole armour
of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For
we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places” {Ephesians 6:11, 12).

The Christian‖s comfort as administered by Paul in the sixteenth chapter
of Romans is not only the impartation of; “The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ be with you,” but also, “and the God of peace shall bruise Satan
under your feet shortly” {verse 20).

This means that God will give you the power and dominion to subdue and
gain the victory over the great adversary of your souls, and all his
adherents who, through his influence and powers, endeavour to destroy
your peace, blessings and subvert your minds, destiny, glory and God‖s
will. Because a victory begun in this world, but consummated in the glory
of heaven.
God would disappoint their malignant purposes, and promote the
prevalence of peace through our violent faith and destructive violent
prayers. That you may be truly be wise, simple, obedient, steady and fulfil
and manifest your destiny in the truth, without which you cannot be
preserved from evil, nor do and enjoy anything that is good.

But, Peter‖s vital exhortation has a double imperative in it, not only the
“casting all our care on God,” but a loud and urgent call to watch and

17

pray. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” {1 Peter 5:6-8}.

The cruelty of Satan, who seeks by all means to devour us, is overcome
by watchfulness, violent prayers an violent faith. Never be off your guard
because your enemies are alert, they are never off theirs, He walks
about, for he has access to you everywhere for he knows your feelings,
cares, wants and your propensities, and informs himself of all your
circumstances..

The subtle serpent and his advocates work hard to beguile our senses,
pervert our judgment, and enchant our imagination. As an angel of light
he deceives us with false views of spiritual things, by refinements in
religion and presumption on the providence and grace of God. But, as a
roaring lion he bears us down, and destroy us by violent opposition,
persecution and death.

Seeking whom he may devour, whom he may gulp down, because it is not
every one that he can swallow down, for those who are sober, vigilant,
violent in faith and prayers are proof against him. But, he may swallow
down those who are drunk with the cares of this world, who are
unwatchful and prayerless soldiers of Jesus Christ. Drunken with the
cares of this world, unwatchfulness and prayerless is not only the way to
the devil, but the devil‖s way into you.

The warning which Christ sends to the church at Smyrna to prepare for
tribulation involves the personality and power of the devil. “Fear none of
those things which you shall suffer, behold, the devil shall cast some of
you into prison, that you may be tried, and you shall have tribulation... be
you faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life” (Revelation
2:1-10).

The explanation of the parable of the tares puts the wickedness,
personality, and power of the devil in contrast with Christ, “The field is
world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom and the goodies
God gave to them, but the tares are the children of the wicked one; the
enemy, that sowed them is the devil, {Matthew 13:39}. Tares are
problems, miseries, adversities, different types of problems and evil, the

18

enemies sow in the life of people, and no Christian should allow tares to
stay but with violent prayers and practicing practical faith send it back to
senders.

The ministry of holy violence faith and prayers is the ministry which
everyone who wants to experience victory in the battles of life must pay
attention to, because it is so important that every believer must give time
and attention to it on a daily basis. The Bible says, Psalm 94:21-23: 21
who plot against good people and sentence the innocent to death. 22 But
the LORD defends me; my God protects me. 23 He will punish them for
their wickedness and destroy them for their sins; the LORD our God will
destroy them.

This passage makes it very clear that the believers are constantly facing
warfare from the camp of the enemy. There are so many evil forces and
their human agents that crowd or assemble and carry out their hard
measures with enthusiasm and eager to put down the soldiers of Jesus
Christ or saints. In counsel and in action, they are unanimous and their
one resolve is to hold their own tyrannical position, and put down the
godly person. They are great at slander and false accusation, nor do they
stick at murder; no crime is too great for them, if only they can trample
on the servants of the Lord.

They gather themselves together in everything that is evil, they are in
unity. The devil, his angels and adherents all join and draw together when
they have for their objects the destruction of the works of the Lord. They
pretended to “judge according to their manipulated law and framed
mischief against the innocent;” they “assembled together against the
good and life of the righteous one,” and “condemned innocent blood;” but
God evidently interposed, and “brings upon them their own iniquity,”
according to their horrible imprecation.

What evil times are in store for the innocent, it is not for us to prophesy;
it is ours to leave the matter in the hands of him through constant violent
faith and prayers, to him who cannot be in fellowship with an oppressive
system, and will not always endure to be insulted to his face by the
ungodly. Firm as a rock is Jehovah‖s love, and there we take ourselves for
shelter. In him alone, we find safety, let the world rage as it may, for we

19

ask no aid from man, but are content to flee into the bosom of
omnipotence.

But God‖s comfort will reach us in Christ and bring us peace. It is the
pleasure which the smiles of the world cannot give and her frowns
cannot take away. A man cannot be more miserable than his own
wickedness will make him if God visits it upon him. It will cut him in the
remembrance of it and cut him off in the recompense of it.

Life itself is a battle and we all have battles to fight regardless of our
disposition towards those battles. Whichever part of the world you
travel to, you will discover that all men and women, in all nations have
something in common; Life is a battle. You will hardly find anyone who
has not fought battles or who is not presently fighting one. Some people
come across their own battle very early in life. Others come across their
own battles at the middle of their lives. Unfortunately, some people
come across their own at old age, but even at that if you are with God
and apply the right principles you will fulfil and manifest destiny.

Destiny is controlled, directed and achieved by applying the right
principles. Every act in life is a response to, and a reaction to the applying
of right principles. For instance, when you want somebody‖s, and even
God‖s attention, you must do the right thing which will arrest the
person‖s attention. God saw how Moses was working for Jethro in
humility, sincerity, obedience and faithfulness and decided to appear to
him in a burning flame.

Moses saw the burning flame and turned to see the mystery and a voice
came forth from heaven, “Moses, Moses;” The end result was that Moses
received the circumference of his destiny at old age. I call it the scope of
God‖s plan for his life. He was 80 years old, but this means that no matter
how old you are, until you apply the right principles in faith and practical
reality and act on it, you can hardly fulfil destiny.

I don‖t know what your personal history looks like, but I suppose you
have probably had one or two bouts with the bathes of life. Here is a
startling truth, which is worthy of urgent consideration. Until you
understand the ministry of violence faith and prayers, you will continue

20

to suffer most of the things you are experiencing from the enemy. Many
people come to our services and programmes because they could not
obtain relief or total solutions to their problems from all places they had
gone for help. Some people have discovered that, the false assurances
which they were given by those who patted them at the back, telling
them everything was over, turned out to be untrue and mere palliative.

Many were told that, if you become a born again Christian you are
automatically delivered from every inherited and self-acquired demons,
problems and evil. You are delivered from every evil and its associates. It
is not truth, but to be a Born Again Christian, is but, a means of laying a
solid foundation in Jesus Christ and knowing the truth that will set you
free.

Some people were told to claim their victories and believe that all their
problems were solved. Such people were told to believe. They later
realized that such theoretical statements are far removed from the
realm of reality. They noticed that what they were told could only pass
the test of theory. The practical realities which they faced made them to
know that their problems were intact and sometimes increasing.

We have had very strange experiences, when we tried to minister to
such people. We have noticed that, fierce and vicious demons often
answered us saying that they are lords over the victims or own the
victims. Victims of such satanic problems generally come to us after
discovering that television-show business and modern day Christian
dancing, raping and smooth talks, painting, careless and worldly dressing,
and showing up has not provided the help which they were looking for.

Christ‖s encounters with those who were possessed of devils illustrate
that many problem people have, the devil and his demons are behind it.
Because, Jesus constant recognition of them as personal beings and
responsible to peoples dilemmas. He recognizes their distinct
individuality and He talks to them and commands them as problems.
They know Christ, confess His divinity, bow to His authority, and obeyed
his commands, however unwillingly. Jesus makes the clear distinction
between the human personality possessed by the devil and problem, and
the personality of the devil who holds possession.

21

The exercising of this distinction gave a severe blow to Satan‖s kingdom.
At the return and report of the seventy disciples, they said, “Even the
devils are subject unto us through your name... “Jesus exclaimed, “I
beheld Satan as lightening fall from heaven,” and then amid their ecstasy
and His joy. He renewed their commission: “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. Notwithstanding in this
rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice,
because your names are written in heaven” {Luke 10:1 7-20).

“Over all the power of the enemy”. The devil is the enemy of Christ and of
humans. Jesus gave us his disciples‖ power over the entire devil‖s power.
To Christ the devil was a very real problem of humans. He recognized his
personality, felt and acknowledged his power, abhorred his character
and warred against his kingdom. If you are a black man, you must realise
that your situation is quite different from the situation of the white man.
The environment in which you live is quite different from the
environment which can be found in the white nations. Any Christianity
that does not emphasize spiritual warfare is a mere children‖s play and
unrealistic and is the devil‖s pet and advocate.

Christians are not supposed to fear the devil, but they must recognize
the existence of sinister forces. It is gross stupidity to misjudge your
enemy, because Satan is original law breaker and He will never hesitate
to exploit any weakness in your life against you. He will use all his
slackness in your spiritual life to gain an advantage over your life. The
devil often attacks people in the realm of the dream. Your dreams can be
divine, while it can also be demonic. A divine dream leaves a positive
impact upon your life. You remain calm, happy and blessed after such a
dream. The moment you have a satanic dream, it brings misery, sorrow,
emptiness, adversities, backwardness and confusion into your life.

Do you know that most of the sleeplessness which people sometimes
experience is caused by some wicked spirits and persons? If you fail to
incubate your sleeping time and life in the fire of the Holy Spirit, you will
continue to experience destructive and defiling nightmares. A wise man
once said “If you have a bad night, you will surely have a bad day.”

22

Perhaps, that statement was made in realisation of the fact that the devil
generally attacks peoples‖ nights in order to destroy their days. The
reason why many of our problems have remained resistant to prayer can
be traced to the fact that the roots of such problems have remained
unknown to us. As long as the roots of your problems remain unknown, it
will linger for a longtime.

A woman has a problem and she explained that whenever there was a lot
of food and money in the house her brain would begin to function
abnormally. Whenever there was no food and money in the house, and
the whole house was empty she would be hungry but she would be
mentally okay. She became so tired of herself that she wanted to commit
suicide. That was what brought her to the church. She told us that she
had gone to several places without receiving any tangible help. We
ministered to her and the Lord delivered‖ from the bondage. God gave us
an insight to the root of her problem. That was how we were able to
tackle her problem from the root.

As we ministered to her, we discovered those two weeks after she was
born, she started crying day and night. Her parents and relatives did not
understand her strange behaviour. However, some doctors later
discovered that her problem could be traced to the fact that her mother
had insufficient milk. Although they thought that they were feeding her,
the baby was getting nothing from the mother‖s breast. That experience
invited demons into the life of the innocent baby.

The spirits stayed quietly in her and remained unnoticed until she grew
up and got married. She was always okay whenever the husband had no
money to buy food. Immediately the husband was able to stock the
pantry with food items, she would begin to misbehave. The demon of
hunger and poverty would begin to make her behave like a mad woman.
Can you see that, that woman‖s case was quite complicated?

It is crystal clear therefore, that whenever a situation has a deep
demonic root we must employ the ministry of holy violent faith and
prayers to tackle it. Evil spirits can remain in obscurity for decades. They
can wait patiently until the time of their operation is due. They can

23

remain concealed until something provokes or activates them to
commence operation.

We have dealt with a lot of cases which were brought into the ―open as a
result of being challenged through aggressive warfare prayers. The
victims of such problems came to the church and prayed like others.
They also went back to their houses to continue such fervent prayers. As
a result of such continual violent destructive and fervent prayers, the
spirits that were formerly residents in them became challenged.

Such powers would become angry and begin to react violently. This will
show you that, the solution is grossly unsatisfactory. Spiritual violence
warfare prayers are directed against powers of darkness, not towards a
person. If you are warring against human beings you are wasting spiritual
times and strength, but against evil powers that may be using people and
things against you. If you want to wage successful spiritual violence
warfare in the spiritual realm, you in must discern your enemy.

You must ask yourself these questions

 What is the problem?
 Is it a natural malfunctioning of the human body?
 Is it a curse?
 Is it inherited or self-acquired
 Is the victim under conscious or unconscious covenants?
 Is the victim demonised?
 Is he suffering as a result of a self-inflicted curse?
 Is he suffering because of the activities of drinkers of blood and

eaters of flesh?
 Is the problem caused by household enemies?
 Can it be traced to being bewitched by demons, occultist, witches

and wizards?
 Is there an enemy in the camp of the victim?

If the root is unknown, and what cause the problem, the problem may
remain forever, because many people‖s problems are persistent for the
reason that they are unable to identify the root of what they are going

24

through. You must know the truth and the truth will set you free. Many
people who come to church are unable to detect the source of their
problems. The enemy has succeeded in blind folding them, so that they
will not see. Satan has blinded many people with lack of vision and even
wipes their dreams away. The enemy has placed a strongman/woman in
charge of many peoples‖ cases. Such demonic strongmen/women are
deaf to weak prayer commands which are issued against them, but they
need destructive violent prayers and faith.

Mechanical prayers will amount to sowing a seed on a hard concrete. No
matter how regularly you water a seed that is sown on concrete it will
never grow. No matter how effective your fertilizer is, it will not make
any seed to grow if the seed is sown on the wrong soil. The most
experienced farmer in the world will not succeed in growing a seed on a
rock. Such seeds will not grow once there is no contact between the soil
and the seed.

It is unfortunate that the devil has erected concrete slabs on the lives of
many people. The presence of such concrete slabs can be both dangerous
and frustrating. Unless you crack the concrete open, you may not be able
to grow any seed successfully. All concretes must be cracked open so
that the good seed which God wants to plant in your life will grow and
flourish.

If what I have said so far describes your situation, it means that you are
qualified for the ministry of violent faith and prayers. There are three
major ways that believers can be delivered from bondage, from any spirit
and problem that is not of God. Become mature in Christ. The moment
you become mature in Christ, you will experience a level of deliverance.
Automatic deliverance can take place in your life as you get more and
more on fire for the Lord. Certain spirits will find your life too hot to
handle. Some spirits will leave your life alone because of the discomfort
which they find within the vicinity of your life.

You must know the truth and let the truth set you free. You must read;
study and memorise the word of God regularly. When you know your
authority and rights as a Christian and you go ahead to claim the
promises of God, you will experience powerful deliverance. However,

25

these two methods cannot grant you your needed deliverance, then you
must go for the third method.

As a soldier of Jesus Christ, you must be very violent in spiritual warfare
h the power of the Cross. The sweet and attractive powers of the cross
dissolve the fatal fascinations of the world and its powers. The power of
Jesus cross casts out the ruling of the devil; dethrone the prince of this
world. Christ affirms the devil‖s high position, but also signs and seals
him, confiscate his destiny and seal his doom. “God anointed Jesus of
Nazereth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing
good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with
Him” {Act 10:38).

Again the Son of God recognizes the position which the devil holds as
crowned prince by the world‖s powers. His presence silent‖s the Son of
God, but Jesus used God‖s words in the time of temptation to conquer
the devil because Man‖s words are not to be victors over this conflict.
With these He broke the power of Satan‖s assault and defeated his evil
intentions. But Jesus left him still a sovereign with his kingly crown.

Son of God remained silent at the devil‖s approach. The cross, its deep
humiliation, bitter agony, its defeat and despair, it took all these to lift
the crown to dust and ashes. The adorable Son of God saw “the travail of
His soul” and was satisfied: Isaiah 53:11}. Jesus saw what it would cost
Him and what it would cost every son of heaven to dethrone and de-
crown the prince of darkness. Because of this, He lapsed into a solemn
silence, the prestige of His victory. “Hereafter I will not talk much with
for the prince of this world comes, and have nothing in me” {John 14:30}.

The Ministry of violence faith and prayers was used by Jesus Christ, for
Apostle Paul says that Jesus prayed with grooms and tears to him who is
able to deliver him. What is the meaning of violent prayers and conflict?

Simply put, it is the declaration of war against the powers of darkness
with persistent violence faith and prayers. You will also go ahead to
contend seriously for what they have captured from you. The Bible says
in Eph. 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against

26

principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Satan is a thief, who must be prosecuted. You cannot succeed in
prosecuting a thief without proving your case beyond all reasonable
doubts. You must know what the enemy is doing and how you got into
the situation or problem. You must detect the different doorways open
to him and how he got there. You must also know how to close such
doorways. You must recognise the fact that thieves also know their
rights.

A man was incessantly harassed and attacked by armed thieves. He
decided to employ a very clever means of catching the thieves
diabolically. The man actually employed a satanic method to start looking
for brooms with which they would be sweeping the surrounding of the
man‖s house. The thieves continued sweeping until it was daybreak.

The man turned them over to the police and the case was transferred to
the court. Everybody thought that the case would be decided in favour of
the man since it appeared to be very straightforward. The judge asked a
very strange but intricate and intelligent question, “Were these men
caught stealing anything? The answer was clear: they were found
working; that is, sweeping. That was how the judge had no option but to
acquit them and pronounced them guiltless because there was no law
against sweeping and they escaped on technical grounds.

That is exactly how demons and problems behave. They also know their
rights. That was why demons told Jesus: “Have you come to torment us
before our time?” Many evil spirits that are attacking modern believers
are doing so because they have been provided with secret places of
abode. Until you identify the abode of the enemy in your life, you will not
be able to experience total freedom.

Perhaps you have been taught that once you are Born Again, all your
problems would disappear. It is totally unrealistic to imagine that you are
automatically free from all your past satanic associations and the once
inherited. It is also unreasonable to believe that your present evil actions

27

will not have any impact on your future. Supernatural forces work
against the body, the soul and the spirits knows their rights.

Salvation does not exempt anybody from the battles of life. It only gives
the equipment to fight and win the battles of life. Being born again is the
solution to deep demonic problems, but a means of laying a solid
foundation. Being Born Again is only a step to having the support of our
Lord Jesus Christ to use His Name, His Blood and His Word for fighting
and winning the battles. It is to enable you, handover your life to Jesus
Christ, so that He would fight the battles along with you. You must
therefore attack all the wicked problems right from their roots. The days
in which we live, are not the days when believers should bargain for
partial victory.

The devil is a very busy character. He does a big business, a very ugly
business, but he does it well, that is, as well as an ugly business can be
done. He has lots of experience, big brains, a black stony heart, great
tireless energy and is of great influence and great character. All his
immense resources and powers are used for evil purposes only. Because,
only evil inspires activates his activities and energies. He never moves to
relieve or bless. He is a stranger to benevolent deeds and compassionate
feeling.

Satan‖s history antedates the history of man. He and his angels are the
only beings who have experienced heaven, earth and hell. These three
places are familiar to him. He has walked the streets of heaven side by
side with its purest and best. He has felt the thrill of its purest joys. He
knows the bitterest anguish of hell and has felt its keenest flames.

He does a big business on earth. He is a prince and a leader. Men and
devils are his agents and vanity is his tools. The elements of nature are
often corrupted and manipulated by him fro their beneficial purposes
and twisted to destroy. He is busy tempting humans to do evil and
looking for ways to inflict and destroy humans. He has lots of experience
in this business of evil and is very adept at it. By his schemes, sin seems to
lose its sinfulness, the world is clothed with double charms, and self is
given twice the force. He turns faith into fanaticism and love into hate.

28

Christ expressly declared that some sickness and problems, at least, was
directly inflicted by Satan. The devil goes about to do and sow evil and
oppresses humans. At every point he is the antagonist of Him who went
about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. In
some way he acquired the power of pains, destruction and death, and has
created in humans a fearful bondage to it. Through death, Christ works
to destroy him who had the power of pains and death that is, the devil.

The devil puts a thorn in Paul‖s flesh and makes a special effort to acquire
Peter‖s loyalty, but, obtained Judies allegiance. He directs the whirlwind,
kindles the fire, and orders the disease which devastates Job, his children
and properties. He arms the thieving. Chaldeans and Sabines against Job
and gets control of his wife. He directs and equips the various offices of
his empire to ruin this one saint. He will wreck an empire at any time to
secure a soul.

Satan sows the tares in the wheat, the bad among the good, dreadful
thoughts among excellent once and terrible food among fine food. All
kinds of evil seed are sown by him in the harvest fields of earth. He is
always trying to make the good bad and the bad worse. He fills the mind
of Judas, and he inflames and hurries him on to his infamous purpose. He
fills Peter with an arrogant pride which tries to inject human views into
the purpose of Christ instead of God‖s divine will and purpose.

The devil and his children goes about as fierce, as resolute and as strong
as a lion, intent only to destroy, but he is not a lion. They are not
restrained by any sentiments which soften and move human or divine
hearts. They have no pity and no sympathy. They are great, but only
great in evil. The devil has a great intellect, but he is driven and inspired
by a vicious and cruel heart.

Even in Satan‖s temptation against Jesus, the methods, hypocrisy and
craft he used was thoughtless. He comes to the weak, exhausted Son of
God with an air of concern. How innocent is Satan‖s suggestion that
Jesus use His power to relieve His hunger after forty days and night
fasting! What could be more permissible and misuse than to use His
spiritual power for physical purposes? How often is it done? Whenever

29

faith is used to serve the natural and selfishness, the source is always
evil.

At the threshold of Christ‖s ministry, He is met with temptation by the
devil. The historical account of the situation presents the devil as a
spiritual person that make people suffer terribly and not to achieve godly
aims. He is the head and embodiment of all evil, making a fierce and
protracted assault on people to have problems. We are not informed as
to what form he assumed in order to veil the treachery and wickedness
of his attack.

The temptation of Christ is noted as one of the preliminary and pivotal
facts of His ministry. It cannot be considered a vision any more than can
His baptism, the descent of the Spirit, His wilderness trip, or His fasting.
It was not an influence tempting Christ. The whole transaction forbids
such a conclusion “Jesus was led of the Spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted of the devil” {Matthew 4:1}. The devil came to Him and the devil
left Him, and then “the angels came and ministered to Him” {verse 11}.

It is man living for bread alone that makes the temporal become priority
as many Christians today is doing. The secular and worldly take on
supreme importance to them; faith becomes secondary, subservient to
money and business. The heavenly is used for the earthly and the
spiritual for the natural. We become more intent on daily food than on
daily grace, eyeing the seen more than the unseen.

That is the devil‖s main business, to materialize religion and faith to get
humans to live for bread alone, to make earth bigger than heaven. Time is
more intriguing than eternity. What a fearful conflict is being carried on
in that quiet wilderness between the fainting Son of God and Satan. It is a
struggle between the earthly and the heavenly, between God‖s religion
and the devil‖s religion!

The conflict surges around three points the fleshly, the presumptuous
and the worldly. This little circle holds all the shapes and forms of
temptation and all the crafty devices, all the hidden depths, all the
glittering seductions which Satan has devised to swerve men from the
allegiance which faith demands.

30

The devil‖s assault on Christ is in striking contrast with his temptation to
beguile Eve. It is also in striking contrast with the fearful ordeal through
which he tied Job‖s integrity. Satan casts no suspicion on God‖s goodness
as he did with Eve. He causes no terrific consuming sorrow as he did in
Job‖s case. Instead everything is friendly, sympathetic and inviting.

The second temptation includes the fanatical presumption of overheated
zeal and brainless devotion. Satan uses all the methods of sensational
and abnormal religious practices. He tempts Jesus to take the shortcut
by which the principles of genuine faith are set aside and superficial
substitutes are brought in to make faith more attractive and popular.
Presumption seeks to take man-devised methods which are easy,
sentimental, and material instead of God‖s lowly way of godly sorrow,
strict self-denial and prayerful surrender.

The last temptation involves the world with its kingdoms and its glory.
These are the rewards for devotion to Satan and worship of the devil,
who is the god of this world and the director of its shits. How the devil
massed all his forces! Religion was invoked, the world and the flesh all
conspired, under Satan‖s power, to tempt the Son of God. The reluctance
with which the pure Son of God went unto this close conflict with Satan
is seen in Mark‖s statement. “And immediately the Spirit drives Him into
the wilderness” {1:12}. Nothing can warp this statement into a mere
influence. It is history, plain, simple, documented fact. Without a doubt or
figure of speech, the Bible clearly stamps the whole transaction with
personality.

There are things that leads person into bondage and that is not living in
God‖s will. When Christians fail to acquaint themselves perfectly with
the will of God, they open themselves to attacks and Satan‖s sponsored
adversities. Demonic attacks prosper in people‖s lives when there are
sins, in the lives of such people. Also, inherited generational, foundational
and traditional curses, adversities, miseries and problem have led many
people into deep bondage and curses. Emotional traumatic experience is
another thing a lot of people have gone into bondage through certain
traumatic experiences which left psychological wounds upon their lives.

31

Furthermore, submission to an ungodly cover have caused and made
many people to be under bondage today. Because they submitted their
lives unknowingly to an ungodly cover, which is staying under an evil
umbrella, will lead one into serious and easy bondage. Nevertheless,
worldliness will encourage satanic attacks, influences and lack into one
life, and will make the bondage to last and cause the person to be a fool
at forty and even a fool at eighty. Again, unclean demonic objects place
many people under bondage. If you own or you keep demonic items in
your house or family, it will lead you into bondage Also, failure to cleanse
your property and environment from all evil spiritual contamination will
affect your life in some aspects that may be very ugly and such will invite
problems into your life.

There are keys to the ministry of violent faith and prayers. What then are
the keys to the ministry of violent faith and prayers? What steps must a
Soldier of Jesus Christ (believer) take in order to successfully carry out
the ministry of holy violence and conflict? If you have discovered that
your involvement in the ministry of violent faith and prayers is
unavoidable, what must you do to carry it out? What must you do in
order to contend for the territory which has been stolen by the enemy?
What must you do in order to reclaim a lost ground? Here are the keys.

Repentance is very necessary and has no alternative. Perfect repentance
enquires speaking the truth concerning the area in question. If you want
to receive total freedom from bondage and experience victory over the
devil and problem, you must repent genuinely from all known sins. Any
sins which you fail to repent of, will keep you under one bondage or the
other. You cannot deceive the devil or God. The devil is a legal expert
who is well versed in the book of the law and God cannot twist justices.

I remember somebody who once issued a command against some
demonic forces. He said: “You evil spirit causing problems in my life, I
command. you to depart from my life, in the name Jesus.” The demon said
“OK, I have heard you but I demand a phone call. I want to telephone my
headquarters.” The demon said” “Can you help me check-up the records,
Brother so and is asking me to go out.” A reply came “He must be joking!
You cannot obey such orders because he is not free from sin.”

32

That was how he was not able to get a positive response in spite of the
fact that he had given out orders, in the name of Jesus. Any area which
you decide to hide from the man of God and you refused to be truthful to
God, will increase the bondage in your life. It is difficult to be set free if
you are not honest with yourself. It is the truth that sets free. You cannot
experience total victory until you have fully repented. Complete
repentance is essential. Without it, evil spirits and problems will seek a
re-entry into one life. The moment you repent of all sinful activities, the
spirit and problem attached to such sins will no longer have a legal hold
upon your life.

I have discovered that, most of the people who complain about their
being attacked by spirit husbands and wife‖s also have illegal physical
husbands or wife‖s or partners or the foundation of their marriage is
erroneous. Ignorance of the principles of repentance leads to sorrow and
pro-longed adversity. An unrepentant sinner is a failure in the ministry of
violent faith and prayers. Every hidden sin in your life will make you a
laughing stock before the enemy.

Remember that discernment is very important and your ability to discern
what you are fighting against is crucial to your victory. Most of the
problems and bad spirits are not easily identified, for their survival
actually depends on their ability to conceal their identity If you don‖t
know what you are fighting against, you will not know how to overcome
the enemy and what your problems. Because, those who understand the
art of violent warfare know that violence is a very vital weapon in the
spiritual realm. In real life, nobody expects you to fight physically but in
the spiritual realm, you could be as ruthless as anything.

Praying is not enough but persistence violent faith and prayer until you
get your healing, deliverance, enemies conquered and your get results is
the realistic key of believer‖s character. It is very rare, to come across a
demonic structure or foundation that have lasted for hundreds or even
thousands of years you inherited, or satanic structure which took many
years to build in a life of a person, being destroyed within a split second
of easy prayer.

33

If some evil spirits started building their stronghold when somebody was
a baby like a year old or from two years old and the person knew nothing
about it until he became thirty to fifty years old, the destruction of such a
structure will take a long and serious constant violent faith, prayers and
time. Such problems need persistent violent prayer attacks and change
of character before they can give way. You must not give the enemy any
room for reinforcement.

Sometimes the enemy releases some areas of interest they know they
can easily retake to the oppressed thereby diverting the tide of freedom,
deliverance, healing and break-through and the person sees premature
victories by clothing the devil and his workers in the false gab of defeat.
Nevertheless, we now understand the tactics of the enemy, the tactical
withdrawal that has lured some of us into hasty pursuit without the
perfection of victory and protection of our flanks and rear.

So, we have learned that the intention of the enemy is to cut the
vanguard of our struggle and deliverance from the rear, to destroy that
advance guard, and finally, to retake the reins of power and influence of
our lives made easy by the termination of vanguard leadership of Holy
Ghost and God‖s direction and impose a defeat more total slavery and
more project.

It is this discovery that has led to this change in orientation. Hence, we
should apply the pattern of a destructive violent prayers and
―maintaining your deliverance, through check and balance of everyday
life‖. This orientation towards prayers, check and balance of everyday life
―would engender revolution among Soldier of Jesus Christ and believers
Total deliverance and independence from the devil‖s influence and his
human agents does not come or die by granting deliverance. Rather, true
deliverance is seized through determined and courageous will and
violent faith and prayers of individuals through the power, grace and
mercies of God.

Therefore, with the awareness of and learning from the mistakes of the
past, we will no longer take the careless way but will embark upon a
revolution (Destructive Violent Prayer) as the sure road to total and
genuine deliverance to freedom and fulfilment. You must be persistent in

34

your demand and command that the enemies‖ structure should be
demolished through persistent violent prayers and Christ like character.
If you have multiple conflicts and yokes, you have to apply the force of
persistence violent faith, prayers and Christ-like character because such
problems can be overcome.

Those who understand the act of violent warfare prayers know that
violence is a very vital weapon. Violent prayers are sometimes strange
and some Christians often find it difficult to understand some violent
prayers which experienced Soldiers of Jesus Christ and warfare experts
offer when they are dealing with very difficult cases.

Prayer is very important in healing, deliverance, breakthrough, blessings,
maintaining our relationship with God, keeping line with life institution
and defeating the enemy that Jesus in Mark 9:29 thus, “And he said unto
them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting”.

Violence,” We would start by meditating on three scriptures Matthew
11:12: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffered violence, and the violent take it by force How be it this
kind goes not out but by fasting and praying. This means that there are
problems, bondages, demonic powers and oppressors, enemies and
ungodly characters that may be considered as an emblem of deeply
rooted vices, and inveterate habits, over which the conquest is not
generally obtained, but through extraordinary humiliations of prayer,
self-denial and fasting.

36

It‖s but a definite way of expressing the general truth that great and
difficult duties require special preparation and self-denial. This kind of
evil spirits cannot be expelled,” or “so desperate a case of demoniacal
possession cannot be cured, but by prayer and fasting. The faith which
will be effectual must be a faith exercised in violent and persistence
prayer. The work of the Christians is still to cast out devils, the unclean
spirits of worldliness, selfishness, greed, infidelity, lust, intemperance,
breaking yokes and Sabbath-breaking.

These still defy the ordinary efforts and faith of God‖s people, for we
have faith enough for ordinary duties, for some giving, for prayer-
meetings, preaching, for building churches; but there is a work which
ordinary faith cannot do. How shall we get that higher faith? By prayer,
Christ-like character and fasting. By such earnestness that we forget the
needs of the body or our self-complacency spelled defeat.

Demons spirits in the flesh, bondages and yokes have different .degrees
of will force and root, some being easier to subdue than others, and this
once, being particularly willful and obstinate, required more faith to
expel it. But that the unclean spirit, bondages and yokes had possession
of this poor patient from a child, and that strengthened his interest and
confirmed his hold. When vicious habits, bondages and yokes are rooted
by long usage and begin to plead prescription, like chronically diseases
that are hardly cured. Can the Ethiopian change his skin?

Jesus is saying that some problems will not go praying alone unless
fasting is added to the prayer. Meaning that, some situations require
more than prayers for solutions to come. For the book of Luke 1 6:8:
says, And the Lord commended the unjust steward because he had done
wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than
the children of light.

If you take a very close look at the scriptures, you will notice a common
feature in them, which is violence and aggression. When a person is
described as violent, it means that he or she is uncontrollable, fearless
and dangerous in his or her action. It also means that the person is
forceful or aggressive. It also means in the Greek explanation of

37

Matthew 11:12, snatching away or ―catching by force‖. This is the zeal or
aggression required from all those who wish to disgrace the powers of
darkness, get the good things God have given them and make heaven.

Holy violence is required to be where God wants us to be. You may be
wondering why violence is necessary. It is necessary because Isaiah 42:7
says, “To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house”. This verse makes
us to understand that there are prisoners guided by warders who do not
want them to be set free.

Also Isaiah 14:16-17 says, “They that see you shall narrowly look upon
you, and consider you, saying, 16 ...Is this the man who shook the earth
and made kingdoms tremble? 17 Is this the man who destroyed cities and
turned the world into a desert? Is this the man who never freed his
prisoners or let them go home?” You see that some human beings have
been made prisoners and there is a prison warder who does not want the
captives to be free. For somebody to take anyone out of that place,
violence is required. The Bible says further in Matthew 12:29, Matthew
12: 29: “Or else how can one enter into a strong man‖s house, and spoil
this goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his
house”.

If God opens your spiritual eyes to see the terrible things demonic people
do, you will prefer to stay indoors. I know a young man called Sunday,
whom the Lord called at the age of 21. His assignment was to preach the
gospel in his village which was very demonic. God told him that he would
turn the place on the right side up for Jesus. There was no single gospel in
that place and all the young men there were interested in only
masquerades and demonic show ups.
By the time he started, he was able to convert just one person whom he
trained as his interpreter. They were rejected by members of their
families and people for preaching the gospel. The villagers tried very
hard to stop them, but they could not. Sunday and his interpreter tried
very hard to win more souls for the Lord for almost a year without any
success.

38

Then, one day, around 1.00 a.m., the Holy Spirit instructed him to go to a
forest in the outskirts of the village. He woke his interpreter up and both
of them took off. They arrived at the place around 2.30 a.m. and saw cars
parked along the road. As brother Sunday moved in, he saw a demon
sitting down, and in front of her were men and women of substance from
different parts of the country. Some were kneeling down while others
were lying prostrate. The demon was a mighty big woman with long
breasts touching the floor.

When she saw the brother, she became very angry. Then the brother
started praying. Immediately he mentioned the name of Jesus, the
gathering scattered, and then he prayed aggressively, calling Holy Ghost
Thunder and Fire of God which caused pandemonium. The people ran
back to their cars and drove away. As soon as brother Sunday and his
interpreter walked back to the village, they knew that something was
wrong. The elders of the village gathered and decided that they should
leave the village for causing more trouble for them by going to that
forest. But they refused, saying it was God that put them there.

The elders then invited brother Sunday‖s uncle who was one of the most
and deadly wicked men in the village. But when he wanted to destroy
brother Sunday, God intervened and he was not hurt. When all the young
men who hitherto, were only interested in masquerade and demonic
shows, saw how God miraculously saved the life of brother Sunday, they
decided to follow him. This was how he turned the village on the right
side up for Jesus. He was indeed a battle axe in the Lord‖s hands.

Beloved, if you want the Lord to use you that way, then you must become
deadly violent in warfare prayers. Because, there is no army that wins a
war by only defending, the best method of defence is to attack. You can
only defeat the enemy when you take the battle into his camp. In this
country, demonic people take people live, as if they are killing chicken or
goat of cow or such animals like that.

Many of them have demonic powers that turn a person into an animal.
Sometimes they can use an animal to represent a person/s, they call the
names of those they want to harm into these animals and bury them.
Once that is done, no matter what the victims do, they cannot make

39

headway. If it is a person‖s marriage, promotion, destiny, carrier, etc.,
they want to get at, those areas will remain buried and it is only through
violence warfare prayers that you can use restore them.

The Bible is a violent book which talks about wars, arrows, stones, etc.
The Bible says that forceful men will lay hold on the kingdom.
Forcefulness is an attitude of determination. It is when you are
determined to go ahead with something no matter what happens.
Violent people never give up. They are not the kind of person that will
pray for one week or one month and give up if nothing happens. They
operate a formula which says. “Pray until Something Happens” Jesus
advocated violence.
The Bible says that the devil is out to kill, steal and to destroy. We should
not be kind to a destroyer who is ready to destroy a believer at the
slightest opportunity. This is why backsliding is dangerous and the devil
will ensure that a backslider never come back to the Lord. The Bible says
that, if we must run, wrestle, agonise in prayer, or fight to paralyse
opposition, we must do it with all our might and strength We must have
the desire to be victorious at all cost, all the time.

So, we must contend for the faith. It is a fact that dark powers are
responsible for most problems of a man and we have a mission as
Christians to identify, confront and conquer them. Jesus said, “Behold I
give you power to trample upon serpents and scorpions”. That gift is for
Christians and not unbelievers. So, the responsibility lies on us.
Christians who want to win warfare do not come to church on Sundays
only.

The apostles were permanently in the presence of God. They knew the
Lord whom they served. They upset the world, worried the devil, and
harassed demons to death, breaks yokes that makes the blind to see,
lame to walk, deaf to hear, the dead to rise, lack varnishes and cast bind
demons. They conducted Holy Ghost services in the streets where
people received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, spoke in tongues and
others peoples languages. But nowadays, some people say that the time
of the Holy Spirit, casting out demons, deliverance and speaking in
tongues has passed. They argued that only the apostles received the

40

Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. The good things that many of us desire
may not come until we enter into violent warfare prayers.

Sometimes ago, we organised a programme entitled, “Covenant breaking
meeting” for married women only. That programme was organized
because the Lord told us that eighty percent of women in our
environment were not enjoying their marriages because they were
consciously or unconsciously into one evil covenant or the other. Also,
that the demons in this environment were distributing all kinds of anti-
marriage forces into people‖s lives. As a result, some had bad husbands,
some became widows after a few years of marriage, some were saddled
with the problem of bad and contaminated children, some got involved
with the problem of Polygamy while some suffered from late marriages,
barrenness, poverty and disability, etc.

At that programme, many things happened through violent Prayers. One
was the case of a woman who was living with her husband in the
husband‖s family house with all the in-laws. Whereas, the Bible says, that
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to
his wife.” When you get married and stay in the family house, you are
looking for trouble. Her husband‖s bedroom was next to her mother-in-
law‖s on the first floor of the building while her own bedroom was
downstairs. Any time she wanted to see her husband at night, her
mother-in-law would block the way.

But at that prayer meeting, violence was declared and she prayed with
holy madness. By the time she got home, she met her husband fighting
with her mother-in-law. She was even the one who settled the quarrel.
After the fight, her husband made sure his mother moved downstairs
while his wife moved up. Things are now in the correct order. The
situation would have remained that way if she did not get aggressive.

When you get into violent prayers, things begin to happen in a way that
you do not expect. I would like you to close your eyes and ask for this
anointing before we go on: Let the anointing to destroy the works of the
enemies come upon my life, in the name of Jesus. A lot of people need
deliverance before they can be free from sickness, problem and
adversities.

41

Deliverance is an act of spiritual violent warfare to set a person free from
any form of bondage. The ministry of violent faith and prayers is when
the enemy wages war against you and you too declare a violent warfare
against him by attending deliverance services or by conducting personal
warfare and deliverance programmes.

Personal effort is the most difficult method but it is the most effective. It
is always better to pray through by yourself and that way‖ your
deliverance remains permanent. Anybody who prays effectively does not
have any problem. Problems come when you cannot pray, because
anything you do, have to be soaked in prayer to make it work. Part of the
tragedy of modern day Christianity is that we have a lot of prayer-less
Christians, prayer-less churches, prayer-less ministers and prayer-less
people who come to the house of God to dance, blow guy and show up
clothes or shoes, or jewelleries.

The Lord is calling for aggressive and violent Christianity today. The
battle is not for the chicken-hearted Christians who are afraid of their
own shadows because anything can happen at the battle front. You could
be confronted by any power. The battle is not for those who are easily
discouraged. Many of us need to get stronger and get rid of apportioning
blames and safe pity.

All the crying exercise, the Jeremiah‖s kind of anointing has to go so that
you can stand your ground and fight. Time is running out, the devil is
becoming more wicked, and evil men and women are increasing and
waxing stronger. So, it is not the time for us to cry rather, we should
begin to silence them. That is the reason God has called us. God is looking
for violent warfare soldiers of Jesus Christ, who will drink the blood of
the enemies and slay giants like David. God is looking for people who will
confront and conquer.

All the men of God in the Bible were violent confronters. Immediately
the devil sees that you are a very violent Christian, he would avoid you
since he knows that if he gives you a punch, you will respond with seven
blows and his agents will not want to come to you because of the
destruction and casualty they will suffer if they do. This kind of spiritual

42

violence has nothing to do with your height, colour, education, beauty or
your look, shape or intellect.

But, it is knowing your authority and using it effectively. Many Christians
are very lazy in spiritual things. If you pray only when there is a problem,
then you are not a soldier of Jesus Christ. Soldiers of Jesus Christ are
always prepared and all evil powers that ever attacked them, ended up
collecting their obituaries.

You can decide to be a Soldier of Jesus Christ today and start distributing
that kind of spiritual obituary to all the forces oppressing you. It is a
serious matter because life is what happens in between. We are at war
and during violent warfare; there is no room for nicety. What you need is
not only victory, but total victory at all cost. The enemies are busy firing
destructive deadly arrows day and night on people so that it will be
difficult for them to settle down. As they are getting out of one problem,
they are putting them into another. Until such people stand up and start
some aggressive warfare, nothing good is going to happen and many a
time nothing good come easily.

I prayed with a woman and based on what the Lord revealed to me, I
asked her to go for deliverance, but she argued with me and refused to
go. Education, wealth or fame does not matter in Spiritual matters. When
it comes to spiritual things, you must drop everything and deal with the
devil squarely. This-woman‖s husband brought a strange woman into the
house and sent her to the boy‖s quarters. She had three cars and all of
them were grounded. She had an uncompleted building which had been
taken over by grasses because she could not finish it.

These and many more were the reasons why she came for prayers, yet
she refused to go for deliverance. These evil forces continued to deal
with her so badly until she was on the hospital bed. On her own, she
declared a five day violent prayer programme with fasting. On the last
day of the programme, she had a vision in which the Lord showed her the
secret behind her problems.

After those revelations, she started some deliverance prayers and was
praying them aggressively all on her own in the hospital. The first thing

43

that happened was that, the strange woman was cleared out of her home
by the angel of death. Deliverance is important because with it, you can
remove the ladder with which the enemies find their way into your life. If
you are fighting without deliverance, the enemies will give way and wait
for you to finish, only to come back more stronger and equipped than
before, because the doors through which they come in are still there. It is
like leaving your back door open and manning the front one with a gun,
forgetting that the enemy can come in through the backdoor and take
the gun from you.

If your enemies have planted all kinds of things in your body, including
remote control agents while you were growing up from your village or
somewhere, wherever you go, they would still be controlling you from
there. When you now realize where the problems come from and you
want to fight them, clear those things which they planted into your body
first or else you will not be successful.

There are some prayer points I would not recommend for some people
because there are prayers which can suddenly make you find yourself in
witchcraft or occulting meeting where they are discussing about you If
you do not have the Holy Spirit and have not undergone deliverance
ministrations before to clear their demons, they will just finish you up.
But, when you run yourself through deliverance; God clears all their
plantations in your life, then you can fight If you allow the enemies to drill
your blood, they will do so, but if you say no, my blood is not for you, then
things begin to happen: I would like you to close your eyes at this point
and pray the following prayer points aggressively:

1. Every evil finger pointing at me, I command you to wither, in the
name of Jesus.

2. Every spiritual evil tree, planted against me, be frustrated, in the
name of Jesus.

Law of violence faith and prayers are import to note because spiritual
warfare must have a purpose. You must have a purpose for declaring a
war. Do not fight aimless and purposeless wars. The purpose may be to
regain your blessings which have been stolen; it may be your marriage,

44

carrier, glory, etc. The purpose must be well defined. One of the greatest
headaches that we have is that we lump many things together when we
pray. We must take them one after the other.

You must receive proper instructions, in spiritual violence prayers. You
must be properly trained to receive proper instruction. You must carry
out thorough self-examination. You must examine yourself to make sure
that there are loopholes for the enemies to capitalise on. You must be
adequately prepared. Sometimes, you need to prepare by fasting very
well like fasting without eating anything (dry), fasting, taking only water
to break (white), fating, to break with fruits throughout the fasting days.
Other times, you may only need to prepare your mind towards it.

Stubborn faith will bring unintended results. You must possess stubborn
faith and holy violence because the violence must take it by force.
Stubborn faith is the kind of faith that does not give up, like the blind
Bartimaeus kind of faith.

Go with me to the book of Mark 10: 46-52, to see the holy violent
attitude of a blind man called Bartimaeus, who receives his sight. 46 They
came to Jericho, and as Jesus was leaving with his disciples and a large
crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus son of Timaeus was sitting by
the road.47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to
shout, “Jesus! Son of David! Have mercy on me!48 Many of the people
scolded him and told him to be quiet. But he shouted even more loudly,
“Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called the blind man. “Cheer up!” they said. “Get up, he is calling
you.” 50 So he threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus. 51
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. “Teacher, “the
blind man answered, “I want to see again.” 52 “Go, “Jesus told him, “your
faith has made you well.” At once he was able to see and followed Jesus
on the road.

Jesus, you Son of David, has mercy on me.” Bartimaeus thus confessed
his faith in Jesus. Blind as he was, he sees more than those who spoke of
the Lord as Jesus of Nazareth, thus making Jesus differ from other men
merely in the matter of his residence. They rebuked him repeatedly that
he should hold his peace and be silent. But he refused to be mute despite

45

the pressure. Rather, he cried out more in great deal, “You son of David,
have mercy on me.” Various motives influenced the multitude to silence
the beggar‖s cries. These motives are obstacles standing against
Bartimaeus‖ deliverance and healing.

Some regarded his clamour as inappropriate, distracting the thoughts
and interrupting conversation. Others did not like to hear Jesus thus
confessed as Messiah. Others still, believing that Jesus was about to be
crowned king, thought it was high time he should cease paying so much
attention to beggars and begin to assume the dignities of royalty.

But Bartimaeus was filled with the spirit of Jacob and holy violence, the
more resistance he met, the more strenuously he wrestled to obtain the
blessing (Gen. 32:24-26). However, “Jesus stood still, and said, call him.”
The multitude had rebuked the cry, but the cry kept ringing for
deliverance and healing, and Jesus stood still to hear and answer it. He
will also hear you if you blow the trumpet of your prayers today. He is no
respecter of persons (Acts 10:34-35).

Bartimaeus was blind with his physical eyes, but his brain and senses
where not blind. But, many people then and today, whose eyes can see
physically are blind in their brain and senses that they do not see the
reality that is hindering from receiving from the Lord.

Rich rulers and blind beggars received his attention and care without
respect of station. Bartimaeus threw away his coat. It probably
represented more than half the beggar‖s wealth, which kept him from the
inclemency of the weather. But he valued his eyesight more than it. He
cast it aside because it hindered him in reaching speedily to Christ Jesus
through the crowd. Those who would come to Jesus, must cast away the
garment of their own sufficiency, must free themselves from every
weight and the sin like long garments, and most easily besets them, Heb.
12:1.

If every penitent person were as ready to throw aside. his self-
righteousness, pride, self-will, ego, logic and sinful encumbrances, as this
blind man threw aside his garment, we should have fewer delays in
conversions, healing deliverance and breakthroughs than we now have.

46

All that have been convinced of sin would have been brought to the
knowledge of the truth.

Today, many would come to Jesus, but their steps are impeded with
some trifling obstacle (Isa. 64:6). In the race to win the presence of Christ
on high to receive deliverance, healing, blessings and breakthroughs,
Christians are advised to lay aside every weight (Heb. 12:1, 2).

“What do you want me to do for you”? Bartimaeus had cried for mercy
without specifying what mercy, and he had asked this mercy of Christ as
the Messiah. The Lord therefore in his royal majesty asked Bartimaeus to
name the mercy, thus suggesting to him the fullness of the treasury of
power and grace, to which he came.

“Your faith has made you whole”. Bartimaeus‖ faith was shown, by his
going to Jesus; by his belief that Jesus was the Messiah; by violently
persevering against opposition; by casting away all that hindered; by
obeying Jesus when he was called; by following, shouting in a loud voice
presenting his petitions, and praising him after he was cured.
“Go your way; your faith hath made you whole”. We can see in this
instance what violent faith and prayers really is. It caused Bartimaeus to
violently shout and cry out, to come to Jesus and to ask for sight. Thus,
we see that violent faith and prayers saves by leading to proper actions.
Being a beggar, it would have been natural for him to hunt first for means
of livelihood. But faith and gratitude prompted him to follow Jesus. And
straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.

The passive idea is that the kingdoms is forced, is stormed, is taken by
persons of violence, like amen of violence take it by force” or seize it like
a conquered city. The middle voice may mean “experiences violence” or
“forces its way” like a rushing mighty wind. The clearer knowledge any
people have of the worth and excellence of life and heaven, the more will
their zeal be inflamed in the pursuit of life reality and purpose. So, those
that want to fulfill their destiny and every good God Almighty bestow on
them must offer violence in the taking of it; none but the violent are
victorious; they take it by force.

47

The words violent and force are both restrictive and promisive. They are
the violent, and none other than the violent take it; and all the violent
shall take it. Though careless endeavours may prove abortive, vigorous
prosecution shall not miscarry. Let us take a look at one of the greatest
man that ever lived. There is no problem any man on earth can face that
he has not faced. But, with God he was able to triumph over every
enemy, the storms and toil of life.

Psalm 35:18 1 Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them that strive with me:
fight against them that fight against me. 2 Take hold of shield and buckler,
and stand up for mine help. 3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way]
against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation. 4
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let
them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. 5 Let
them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase
[them]. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the
LORD persecute them. 7 For without cause have they hid for me their net
[in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul. 8 Let
destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid
catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

If the enemy urge their suit in the law court, the Lord meets them there,
and beat them at their own weapons. Every saint of God shall have this
privilege because the accuser of the brethren shall be met by the
Advocate of the saints. If my advisers try force as well as fraud, match
them; oppose their strength to their strength. Jesus does this for all his
beloved, for us He is both intercessor and champion; whatever aid we
need we shall receive from Him, and in whatever manner we are
assaulted we shall be effectually defended. Let us not fail to leave our
case into the Lord‖s hand.

Because, vain is the help of human, but every effectual is the
Interposition of heaven. What is here asked as a boon may be regarded
as a promise to all the saints; in judgment we shall have a divine
advocate, in warfare a divine protection. Take a look at verse four. Let
hem be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul. There is
nothing malicious here, the slandered man simply craves for justice, and
the petition is natural and justifiable. Guided by God‖s good spirit the

48

psalmist foretells the everlasting confusion of all the haters of the
righteous.

Shameful disappointment shall not be the portion of the enemies of the
gospel, nor would the most tender hearted Christian have it otherwise:
viewing sinners as men, we love them and seek their good, but regarding
them as enemies of God, we cannot think of them with anything but
detestation, and a loyal desire for the confusion of their devices.

No loyal subject can wish well to rebels and squeamish sentimentality
may object to the strong language here used, but in their hearts all good
men wish confusion to mischief makers. Christian in the hour of
temptation should beseech the Almighty to appear in their behalf, and to
vindicate our cause. We are apt to justify uneasiness at the injuries men
do us, by our never having given them cause to use us so ill; because this
will make it easy for them and give them advantages over us, we expect
that God will plead our cause.
We must pray for God to manifest himself in our situation and trial. Let
me have inward comfort under all outward troubles, to support my soul.
If God, by his Spirit, witness to our spirits that he is our salvation, we
need desire no more to make us happy. If God is our Friend, no matter
who is our enemy and our situation we declare it to God. We must not
desire or pray for the ruin of any enemies, except anything, be it human
or evil spirits that would compass our destruction. A traveller benighted
in a bad road is an expressive emblem of a sinner walking in the slippery
and dangerous ways of temptation. But like David we must commit our
cause to God and we must not doubt of our own deliverance.

Why must I fight? This is the question one should ask! The answer is not
far-fetched. You must fight because the enemy is an oppressor who
reaps where he did not sow. He is not ready to release or let go his
victims. The devil is too wise and too lordly in ambition to confine his
aims to the individual. Satan is an expert in all the arts of destruction,
inflicting pains, problems and deceit. He is an archangel in execution and
he often succeeds in seducing the people most loyal to Christ and in
doing good.

49

He leads humans into his destructive plans, which pervert all scriptural
principles. When the Church itself, the bride of Christ, is seduced from
her purity, she degenerates into worldly ritualism. The “gates of hell shall
not prevail” against the church {Matthew 16:18} This promise of our Lord
stands against every Stannic device and assault. But this unchangeable
word does not protect a person and the Church form the devil‖s
strategies and attacks which often pervert the aims of the Church and
postpone the day of his final triumph.

The devil is a hydra-headed monster who is multifaceted in plans and
wisdom as well as in atrocities. His supreme effort is to get control of
every good person and the Church, not to destroy its organization, but to
pervert its divine purpose. He does this in the most insidious way with no
startling change and nothing to shock or alarm. Sometimes revolutionary
and destructive changed is introduced under the disguise of a greater
zeal for Christ‖s glory. It is often introduced by someone held in high
esteem; who is totally ignorant of the fact that the measure he is
advocating is subversive.

Therefore, only those who apply violent faith and prayers will know what
it means to release their wealth, destiny, potentials, and their goods In
the hands of the oppressor and get the best out of life. To be gentle in the
spirit is out of it. There is nothing like a mild or soft soldier of Jesus
Christ. All soldiers apply force and violence. So, to achieve the best of
your life, and win the end time battle, you must learn and apply the
principles of violent faith and prayers.

The devil and his agents, with whom we are contending, are violent to
the core, heartless, wicked, wise, experienced and unrepentant. So, to
come against him with carelessness is to earn defeat before the battle
begins. For the powers of Satan is far greater than that of God‖s highest
and earthly saints. In the third chapter of Zechariah, we have the picture
of his power with God‖s high official representatives.

A violent opposition is made to Joshua by Satan, who stands at his right
hand to resist him, to be a Satan to him, a law-adversary. He stands at his
right hand, as the prosecutor, or witness, at the right hand of the
prisoner. Joshua, the high priest, and the angel of the Lord are there,

50
