Son, you have never touched a culture-shifting power center of the adversary until now. When you attempt to bring my presence into a domain that the enemy has held for centuries, you ignite the principalities that guard that stronghold. They will react to my presence. My son Paul experienced this as well. You have done well to approach this stronghold with coordinated prayer with my generals of intercession before attempting an invasion. It's like sending an advance wave of attack aircraft before the ground troops come in. You soften up the opposition considerably. You are learning to do war at a higher level now. Together, we can reclaim some of these strongholds the enemy has held for so long. I am so proud of you. Together, we make a good team. Go, take more ground. I am with you.
For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. 1 Cor 16:8
