The Spiritual Gates - Apostle Cheryl Jackson-Perry
 Apostles and prophets has been set in place in cities across the nation and all over the earth. These positioning have not been by accident, but strategic in the plans and purposes of God. We must always remember that the enemy is very organized in how and where he has placed his principalities and powers. Even every spiritual wickedness is strategically placed. This positioning effects every city of every nation; and apostles and prophets must now move from the place of the defensive into a position of strategic offensive. This shifting is to position you to effectively resist the plans and intentions of the enemy.
Every city has spiritual gates which are entry gates into the city. These gates may be on the ports of cities, or airports, or even highways. And yes, Satan does have watchers over these gates, that when you enter or leave a city, the demonic realm knows. Today, however I want to bring to your attention the eight gates of influence every city also has. As gates of influence, they are gates of spiritual entry into the city that effect the spiritual climate and atmosphere of a city. These gates influence the heart, mind and spirit of all to reside in that city. This is how city and territorial strongholds are set in place.
God is calling, in 2008, apostles and prophets to reposition themselves in the area of prayer and intercession to attack these gates. The prayers must be strategically direct and purposed. Satan has shifted, and repositioned himself in the spirit realm. So too must the body of Christ, shift, reposition itself. In some cases it will be necessary for you to totally realign yourself in order to be effective in launching prayer on this spiritual level. These prayer attacks must be pointed and sure, aimed directly at the point where they will cause the most damage. Satan is preparing new attacks, new demonic onslaughts on the body of Christ, and if the apostles and prophets are not on the wall, you will see the enemy be victorious in many areas.
Some may not be totally aware of these strategic points, but if you allow yourself to be led by the Spirit of God, your prayers will hit their targets every time. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into the spirit realm during your time of intercession, and you will reach the gate your are interceding for and do battle with the enemy. You must release yourself totally for this to take place. It is not done in the natural, it is not done in the mind, this battle takes place only in the spirit realm. Apostles and prophets should now be accustomed to
functioning in the realm of the spirit.
Every city has these gates functioning fully within them. These gates have been infiltrated by the enemy and prayer must be initiated from the level of the apostolic because the gates are being controlled from a governmental spiritual level and it will take prayer from the governmental anointing of the apostolic to overcome this enemy. This is not prayer as usual.
The gates which are to be seen as focal points for apostolic intercession are:
1. Church
2. Family
3. Education
4. Government
5. Business
6. Media
7. Arts
8. Transportation
As you begin to focus your prayers upon these key strategic areas, you will begin to see the strongholds break over your cities. The return and rise of the Apostle and the apostolic anointing were for this time and season and purpose. We have entered a time when our very faith is being attacked on the earth and our right to preach truth and righteousness. The church and the body of Christ is under attack in so many areas on the earth.
You Apostles and Prophets - you can watch or you can step up to the plate, position yourself to enter into the spirit realm, where the real battles are taking place.
