In times of crisis and trouble, it’s important to discern the difference between prayer and the authority we’ve been given through faith in Jesus. While we can offer prayer and thanksgiving to make our requests known to God, there are situations like sickness, disease, demonic attacks, and oppression that require us to take a stand. These forces that come to steal, kill, and destroy cannot simply be prayed away. We must boldly command them to leave in the name of Jesus, using faith-filled words to declare victory and freedom.
