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.
