Breaking Strongholds in Your City: How to Use Spiritual Mapping to Make Your Prayers More Strategic, Effective and Targeted

by C. Peter Wagner (Editor)

Take a moment to look around your community - the parks, the malls, the key points of interest. Look at the downtown, the uptown, the back alleys and across the tracks. What are the institutions that dominate the life of your city? Do they glorify God? Or is your city infiltrated by pockets of idolatry and corruption?

You can bring light to the darkest parts of your community by breaking down the enemy's strongholds through prayer. Finding solid information will ensure that your prayer is on-target and much more effective. Breaking Strongholds in Your City shows you how to identify the enemy's territory in your area, and provides practical steps on how to pray against these dark strongholds - making it perfect for pastors, church leaders and intercessors on every level.

Whether you are being called to frontline warfare or behind-the-scenes prayer support, discover how you can target your prayers to God's glory in your neighborhood.

A MUST READ FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL IN THEIR CHRISTIAN WALK AND SALVATION. WE GOT A LOT TO DO AS THE CHURCH AND IT HAS BEEN A GREAT READ FOR ME. I HAVE LEARNT MANY THINGS AND THE HOLYSPIRIT HAS BEEN POINTING THINGS IN MY NATION. THIS BOOK HAS MADE MORE AWARE THAT LIFE IS SO SPIRITUAL AND STRATEGY AND ACTION PRAYERS ARE IMPORTANT. ITS A MUST REREAD FOR ME

[Samuel Inbaraja · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book though interesting is not biblically based but based on the interpretation of the experience of people. Anecdotal passages interpreted to mean something and imply something. Rather than deriving some general principles it would be prudent to say they were sovereign moves of God and it can happen anywhere as the Lord chooses. The content of the book can be rightly called extra-biblical. Bottom line: Be led by God. Pray for your city. These are biblical. Avoid Spiritual mapping and associted teahcings. These are not biblical.

DNF. While there were tidbits of interesting information in there, it was a little too extreme for where I’m currently at in belief. Maybe I’ll read more later on.

Very informative, easy to read. Changed the way I look at things and pray.
