GOD'S AUTHORITY, PROMISES & SPIRITUAL WARFARE
SCRIPTURE STUDY & PRAYER GUIDE — VERSION 20

THE FOUNDATION
Christian spiritual authority begins with the sovereign Triune God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Believers stand under God's authority and
in the finished victory of Jesus Christ; spiritual authority is not
self-generated power.

- Ephesians 1:15-23

Praise God as sovereign Lord. Submit your plans, fears and decisions to Him.

2. CHRIST'S VICTORY OVER DARKNESS
Study:
- Colossians 1:13-20
- Colossians 2:13-15
- Hebrews 2:14-18
- 1 John 3:8
Prayer focus:
Thank Jesus Christ for His cross, resurrection, reign and victory.
Ask for freedom from fear, accusation, temptation and deception.

- 1 Peter 5:6-11
- Romans 12:17-21

5. GOD'S WORD
Study:
- Psalm 119
- Matthew 4:1-11
- John 8:31-32
- 2 Timothy 3:14-17
- Hebrews 4:12-13
Practice:
READ the passage in context.
BELIEVE what it truly reveals about God.
PRAY its truth back to God.
OBEY what God calls you to do.
Do not treat verses as magic formulas.

6. GOD'S PROMISES

- 2 Corinthians 1:20
- James 1:5
- Hebrews 13:5-6
- Romans 8:28-39

Ask:
What is promised?
Who receives the promise?

Is the promise conditional?
How does it relate to Christ and the wider message of Scripture?

7. PRAYER FOR HEALING
Study:
- James 5:13-18
- Mark 5
- Acts 3
- 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

- 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
- 1 Peter 5:8-9

Do not label every illness, disagreement or setback as demonic.

9. THE HOLY SPIRIT
Study:
- John 14-16
- Acts 1:8
- Romans 8:1-27

- Revelation 21-22
Prayer focus:
Thank God that Christian hope ends not in fear of darkness but in the final
victory and renewal of all things under the reign of God.

Guard me from deception, accusation, fear and temptation.
