to imply) and is being nurtured in the dark and magical black arts. Satan, his Anti-Christ, and his occultic ministers, are engaged in active, diabolical assault, against the will of God for God's people. We on the other side, should be actively tearing down the "strongholds" or "fortresses" of our enemies through prayer. It is quite possible that many of the children missing worldwide today are being used by these Satanists in their sacrificial ceremonies. The Anti-Christ will be able to come to power after the Rapture of the Firstfruits of the church, because most of the Christians who were engaging in spiritual warfare will be gone, leaving the weak and scripturally ignorant behind. Those who are actively engaged in binding the powers of the enemy (through spiritual combat) are now holding back the satanic powers from ascendancy. Those on the other hand, who are  ignorant or neglectful of this warfare, are actually scattering from the Lord  rather than gathering (see Matt. 12 vs. 29-30).

          What we need to do, therefore, is to pray in such a way (both morning, noon and night) that we will tear down the strongholds of darkness and usher in God's Kingdom of Light. This can be accomplished if we:

    (1) Acknowledge our sins, and the sins of God's people, and of the  world before the Lord, asking for His forgiveness.
   
(2) Bind the principalities and powers of the devil and his minions, over governments, countries, cities, towns, religious organizations, educational institutions, and finally individuals, etc. naming as many as we can individually.
   
(3) Ask the Lord to reverse all occultic phenomena -- Satanism, voodoo, witchcraft, black magic, white magic, curses, vexes, hexes, jinxes; reversing all backwards prayers and turning all upside down crosses back up; nullifying all prayers, chants, dances, ceremonies, and sacrifices offered to the devil or any false deities, asking God to reverse all these occultic phenomena back upon the perpetrators, so that they might be chastised by their own spells unto repentance -- "For as ye sow, so shall ye reap."

    (4) Finally to loose the Angels of God; the blessing of God; the will of God; and the Lordship of God; the wisdom and guidance, and provision of the Holy Spirit, upon all governments, countries, cities, towns, villages, religious organizations, and finally upon any and all individuals that we know. Then we shall begin to see "the kingdom of God" loosed upon our world, and the kingdom of darkness destroyed.

          Satan, we bind you from the three Heavens, from every dimension, from every continent, country, state, city, county, province, town, house, and individual throughout the entire world -  in the name of Jesus Christ; Amen.

       
From the "Parable of the 10 virgins" we can rightfully assume that at least 50% of all professing Christians will miss the Firstfruits Rapture of the church, before the Tribulation. (Matt. Chap. 25) This correlates with Matt. 24 vs. 40-41 where we see "one taken" and one "left behind."
