The Rules of Engagement - howtopray.today

1 Every army must know the Rules of Engagement in order to be effective in warfare. The same is true for the twenty-first-century church. This book is a must for those who are on the front line, and I heartily endorse it to God's elite forces. The strategies in this book are written by one of God's present- day generals who is committed to leading the saints to victory. Apostle John Eckhardt Cindy Trimm has spiritual insight that is invariably unique and profound. The kingdom principles expounded in this book provide the power tools needed to change regions dominated by tyran- nical, diabolical demonic systems. The systematic methodologies explained here will make an indelible impression and develop the generational dominance of God's people in a kingdom envi- ronment. After reading The Rules of Engagement , I am convinced that any person and ministry involved in transforming nations for the future need this resource as a catalyst for change and development.

2 The systems and dimensions described herein will be engraved in the minds of every reader, everywhere. This book is an essential read. Bishop Tudor Bismark Jabula New Life Ministries In a world where the enemy is out to distract and deceive as many as he can, even the very elect, this work is extremely timely. When it comes to spiritual warfare, it is clear to me that in this early part of the twenty-first century, Cindy Trimm is one of God's generals. She has done extensive research on this subject that has been impacting lives around the world. This latest work is a compilation of three books and is a powerful tool for persons in preparation for spiritual warfare as well as those already engaged in spiritual warfare. Cindy Trimm shares a wealth of information, instruction, and principles in this book that, if applied, will equip you for victory over the enemy in every area of your life.

3 This book is indeed a training manual for the believer and a must-read for those who wish to walk in victory. Bishop Neil C. Ellis, Cmg, DD, JP. Senior Pastor/teacher, Mt. Tabor Full Gospel Baptist Church Great insight on allowing the kingdom to work in you. An excel- lent resource for your personal and ministry library. Apostle Ron Carpenter Redemption World Outreach Center Cindy Trimm documents Scripture in a masterful way and exposes the strategies and tactics brought against us by the forces of evil. The principles expounded upon in this book will cause life- changing victories in Christ. Pastor Marion Meares Evangel Cathedral Cindy Trimm, a prophet, a pastor, a writer, and a humanitarian has helped to shape the lives of many of God's powerful leaders, including myself, through insightful, prophetic teachings on prayer.

4 This book is a weapon with a double-edged sword to help you to strategize how to mightily pull down every stronghold in your life. I highly recommend it! Read it and win! Judy Jacobs His Song Ministries International Psalmist, Author, Teacher, and Worship Leader I was once told that the greatest teachers are those who were the greatest students. Cindy Trimm had to have been that exceptional student absorbing every ounce of wisdom, knowledge, and under- standing that was available. Hearing her teach and reading her books brings impartation, clarity, and empowerment to anyone who is ready to live in total victory over satanic powers and shift into the next realm and dimension in their lives. Micah Stampley Minstrel and Psalmist Practical and spiritual applications abound in this book from Cindy Trimm. If we understand the critical times in which we live (and we do), we must understand that godly power and authority are available and necessary for victory in every aspect of life.

5 Cindy Trimm lays out strategic, logical, and effective maneuvers for warring in the heavenlies. This is an essential book for such a time as this! Dr. Teresa Hairston Founder/Publisher, Gospel Today Magazine The Rules of Engagement is a revolutionary, life-changing view of spiritual warfare. Cindy Trimm's comprehensive manual exposes adversarial tactics and strategies while illuminating seldom-taught truths and principles regarding strongholds and their origins. As a publisher, I have read many books written on spiritual warfare. However, I found this book to be a powerful tool for dethroning the enemy. Its prayers and declarations can be applied by any believer for guaranteed spiritual victory and success in every area of life.

You gave the world No More Sheets, My Spiritual Inheritance, Matters of the Heart, Woman on the Frontline, and the Threshing Floor Revival. You gave me an opportunity that changed my destiny. Thank you. foreword W. ar! The Lord says in Matthew 24:6 7, And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet (nkjv, emphasis added). If we are to keep hearing of wars and rumors of war, we need to understand the Rules of Engagement for the wars that surround us.

10 When we hear the word war we have thoughts of destruction, sorrow, grief, loss, conflict, and death. However, the Lord says clearly, See that you are not troubled. Our inner man will not be unsettled if we know the Rules of Engagement ! I can still remember the day I got up early and went from our bedroom to the couch. As I lay down and began to meditate and get my mind set on the Lord for the day, an interesting thing happened: a blackboard appeared before me. Visions are very interesting. I can't say that I have had many, but the few God has graced me with have been dramatic. I began to see words appear on this blackboard. The hand of God seemed to be writing before me, just as He wrote in the days of Daniel. I saw the following words: anti-Semitism, militant Islam, covenant conflict, women arising for My purposes, lawlessness, the transference of wealth, over- throwing thrones of iniquity, and prepare for war.
