Our 2 Most Powerful Weapons:

• Fasting
  • Fasting is one of the most powerful weapons in spiritual warfare. Jesus tells the disciples in Mark 9:29, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and fasting.”
  • You can give up or fast from anything, such as waking up early and fasting for 7 days.
  • Small, simple fasts done with great love are some of the most powerful weapons.
• Prayer
  • Personal prayer is not a liturgy. There are prayers that the Church recommends, but the most important element in personal prayer is our act of faith.
  • Any prayer said with faith is powerful in our spiritual struggles.
  • Prayer is a conversation of the God of the universe, not a good luck charm or talisman.
  • Persistent prayer is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare.
  • Advancing in your prayer life beyond devotional prayer into meditation is a major tool against the devil.
