It shocked me to realise how things in life link up.
I read through on chapter 5 of the book 'Praying effectively for the Lost', which I thought was like the very essence of the book, the heartbeat of the book.
The 'spiritual warfare' this chapter talks about is no doubt prayers. I like how he categorised the stronghold's in the mind of 'lost' people.
The primary stronghold is UNBELIEF, with many other smaller strongholds (greed, lust, selfishness) compounding up. This had made this stronghold almost infallible.
Prayer breaks this stronghold of UNBELIEF.
I somewhat witnessed how this stronghold was broken down in a person's life, how God was faithful and was greatly blessed by it.

Remembering Prayer as an essential tool. Many things to pray for, and always remembering to start praying before I even start thinking on my own.
It's good to have praying partners, to pray together in one accord. Yet, that can't be an excuse for not praying alone. For I learnt that when I pray for others, Satan loses power over them. Satan engage in a losing war against the Almighty God whenever a prayer is made.
Note: It's good to keep a personal prayer list. :)
