Weapons of our warfare

I was blessed to find Cheri Fuller's devotion in The One Year Book of Praying Through the Bible yesterday, right in line with our prayer effort. The scripture she quoted was:
II Corinthians 10:3,4
We are human, but we don't wage war with human plans and methods. We use God's mighty weapons, not mere worldly weapons, to knock down the Devil's strongholds.

She then used a quote from Oswald Chambers:
THE PRAYER OF THE FEEBLEST SAINT ON EARTH WHO LIVES IN THE SPIRIT AND KEEPS RIGHT WITH GOD IS A TERROR TO SATAN. THE VERY POWERS OF DARKNESS ARE PARALYZED BY PRAYER. . . . NO WONDER SATAN TRIES TO KEEP OUR MINDS FUSSY IN ACTIVE WORK TILL WE CANNOT THINK IN PRAYER

Here is Cheri's prayer from yesterday:
LORD, thank you for your weapons of warfare, which are mighty, invincible, and supernatural. Teach me to wield them as I stand against the enemy. Strengthen me as I intercede for others. I pray that you will demolish the devil's dark strongholds and estabish your kingdom of light and truth.

Here is my prayer as we come to the end of our 50 days of prayer:
LORD, we have come to you, seeking your face, seeking to hear your voice. May we be singleminded in our purpose as we come together to share what you have been speaking to our hearts. May our hearts be undivided and may we find unity as we move forward in this ministry. Your heartbeat is our priority. We lay down all of our lofty plans, ideas, and anything from our flesh to find your purpose for this time in this ministry in this church. Pour your love out in our hearts according to your WORD in Romans 5. Bring "every thought (and project) into captivity to the obedience of Christ. . . "(II Cor. 10:5)

Lead on O King eternal.
In the Name of Jesus and under His authority, Amen
