The most crucial & indispensable counsel I was given when I was young is - Don't Spare anything that puts your cows into Danger. If it's an animal probably a lion don't spare kill it - Use a weapon a spear or a gun use poison as well.
My Dad told me, “Son, the world doesn’t owe you shit. You fight for everything”.
My Dad was a superhero. Chess master, fighter, genius. Every kid should see their father as unbeatable, and mine was.
Chess wasn’t just a game to him. It was war. He’d play chess with me for hours. I’d lose, and he’d say, “Figure it out”.
He could talk his way out of anything and beat anyone in a fight or debate. He’d walk into a room, and everyone knew he was the boss. Chess players feared him. Men respected him. I thought he could do anything.
A man is a product of his environment. I got my edge from him. That’s why I’m unbreakable. I am who I am because of my father. From my father, I was instilled with a mindset of excellence.
Become dangerously educated. Be well-learned. Be harder to fool, sharper in conversation, and better at reading situations. Draw on centuries of knowledge and wisdom. Learn relentlessly. An informed mind is hard to manipulate, intimidate, or contain.
Warfare prayer is more than shouting at the devil. There is a biblical way to pray when you understand that prayer can engage what is happening both in the natural and in the unseen realm. When you study the prayers in the Bible, you find people praying concerning territories, people, spiritual resistance, God’s purposes, prophetic words and the fulfilment of what God had already spoken.
Daniel prayed concerning the Word he had read in Jeremiah, and while he was praying on earth, there was activity taking place in the spiritual realm that he could not see. This is why I believe we need to grow beyond prayers that are only centred around ourselves.
There are times when we need to pray for our families, our cities, our nations, our communities, our assignments and the spiritual atmosphere surrounding them. We need to know how to pray the Word, how to resist spiritual opposition, how to ask God to establish His Kingdom and how to contend for what He has purposed.
Check the comments for practical ways to pray warfare prayers, with Bible verses you can actually take into your prayer time.

The Lord says,
“I AM REVERSING LOSSES.
The trajectory you had taken of continuous losses and deterioration of life has come to an end. You have been in a cycle where what you gained was followed by loss, what you built was followed by deterioration, and what should have been preserved was continually diminished.
I am bringing an end to that cycle. For I am the God who restored what the enemy had taken from David until nothing was missing. I am the God who turned Job's captivity and gave him twice what he had before. I am the God who said, “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.”
I am the God of restoration and restitution. Therefore, what has been continually diminishing will no longer continue to diminish. The downward trajectory is being reversed. The losses are being reversed. The deterioration is being reversed. The direction is changing.
And where you have known a life marked by decrease, I will bring you into increase; where you have known loss, I will bring you into abundance. For I have come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly. What has been going down will not keep going down. I AM REVERSING LOSSES."
