These days reflecting on the death of Lazarus in chapter 11 of John, was awakened with the comment of Dr. Morris Cerullo based on verses 41-42, on the powerful weapon to tackle any situation and I talk about it.Of course you and I know that the only powerful weapons on earth to penetrate the human spirit, to overcome suffering, invade enemy territory, cancel and destroy the evil powers of satanic strongholds are prayer and fasting.
There are diseases and sufferings, which limit man. God gave wisdom to the doctors, but there are diseases that healing is a masterpiece of medical doctors, Jesus.
There are demonic forces organized, governments and spiritual powers of darkness, spirits of confusion, violence, greed, hatred, perversion and death hovering over our family, friends, and our cities ... These spirits are everywhere, the streets in our workplace, everywhere.One of the goals of the hosts of evil is to destroy all that is pleasant, holy, pure, and all morality and all sense of decency. These evil forces seeking to overthrow governments, perverting justice and establish leaders and immoral atheists. Want to end democracy and establish totalitarian regimes such as ruling force in the land. They want to discredit the Christian leaders and weaken its influence in the cities and countries in silencing them.
Demons also try to divide the Body of Christ - The church, causing disputes in order to lead us astray from the true God and God's purpose for our lives.The evil forces are still working to end the families, causing misunderstanding between the couple, sowing seeds of rebellion in the hearts of the children in the homes and flipping the feeling of rejection, mistrust, bitterness and resentment.Finally, the purpose is to destroy the evil forces of all. In one way or another. They try to steal our joy, set aside our trust in God and make us turn back to the Lord and rebel against Him doubting their power. They want to prevent us to reach the full stature of Christ and strive to leave to pray, to read the Bible and apply its principles to our lives.
These evil powers and principalities have established strongholds in our cities and our country, and no nuclear bomb, human force capable of destroying them. There is a strong and able enough to overthrow them. The prayers of God's people. Hallelujah!
Satan set the strength to destroy our lives, our home, our city, to steal our joy and our hope destroy.Many are attacked physically, mentally and spiritually. His strength seems to be empty and the doubt and discouragement settles within. Some seek God's direction, want to hear your voice and know his will. Others strive, and cry cry cry out to God. But it seems that his prayer does not cross the barrier imposed by the suffering and the hidden forces.
There is no barrier to Jesus
Carefully read the biblical text: (John 11:39-43) "Take away the stone" he said. Said Martha, the sister of the dead: "Lord, my brother already smells bad because it's been four days." Jesus said to him: "Did I not tell you believed, you would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone, Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know you always hear me "... After saying this, Jesus cried with a loud voice: "Lazarus, come forth." The dead man came out with their hands and feet involved in linen cloths and face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said, "Loose him and let him go."It said it had been four days that Lazarus had died. After four days, the body was decomposing, the human light would be impossible to live again. But Jesus made a successful raid in the territory impossible, and operates a miracle. And you and I believe we can break the lines impossible for the man, be it physical or spiritual strength.
"Hacking" means conquer, dominate, get into power - Through prayer. Where there are evil forces deployed or disease, suffering, violence, we can invade and neutralize these forces through prayer. And there needs to be strong prayer, as some people say. There is strong prayer, there is a great God.Let's use the example of Jesus. The Master never prayed for the sick, with power and authority he commanded the disease to come out. In other words, he ordered the cure. Jesus did not ask God to raise Lazarus, but thankful that God heard him. The victory has already had been conquered by prayer.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation ..."
Human beings can not seem to understand that strength, power and victory are in prayer. Now I understand why David, despite his weaknesses was a successful man. He was pleased to seek the Lord.
In Psalm 27 he says: "The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid? "And later in verses 4 and 5, he exclaims: "One thing I asked the Lord, and seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life , to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. For the day of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; me high upon a rock. "Although the term "House of the Lord" and his "Temple" in referring to the physical space of the tabernacle at Gibeon, David established sanctuary to house the ark of the covenant, or the temple that Solomon built later, the most likely here is that the psalmist have used these expressions to refer to the need to be in the presence of God every day. Almost all the psalms of David to show that he enjoyed an intimate life with God. Both that and a friend, the Bible mentions it as "a man after God's heart." Wherever he was, in the countryside or in cities, herding sheep, or fighting battles, in sorrow or in joy, he was in the presence of God.
That's what we lack. Time to be in the presence of God. And in my little life experience, I have noticed that sometimes God lets the fight, war, suffering, so we can look to Him through our powerful weapon - prayer.Maybe you're that good and full of health, ignore these words. And you can even claim that has no time for prayer, to go to church to worship God. Interesting that invented every lame excuse to get away from God ... We should learn from Daniel. This man ruled 40 cities, thousands of administrative and social problems, and then there was no telephone or cell phone, no internet, and yet with so much responsibility Daniel had time to pray three times a day to God. Maybe that's why he became a great mentor, a great governor and a successful man in everything he did.
And we! We have plenty of time, labor law favors us, we are not slaves; in our country there is no law prohibiting profess our faith wherever we can invoke the name of our God we will not be thrown out and we are not obliged to bow before this or that image. And yet we can not pray. If invited to a gospel concert, we're there if we are invited to a banquet there. But when we are invited to pray, even if sometimes our situation is in shambles, fled from the presence of God. I understand why Satan hates include people worshiping God. But you tell yourself a believer ... How long have you been in front of the TV? How long do you stop the front of the computer accessing the virtual communities, in touch with friends etc ... My sister, how long you have to go to the salon, to be with her friends and most of the time in the scornful ... The time for sports, friends house, in the company? And how long do you have for God? Do not expect to be in bed or at the height of a separation, in conflict with the family to seek the Lord God Almighty.
