The Special Forces Prayer
Almighty God Who art the Author of Liberty
and the Champion of the oppressed hear our prayer.
We the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon Thee in the
preservation of human freedom. Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless
and to free the enslaved.
May we ever remember that our nation, whose oath "in God We Trust," expects that
we shall requit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our
faith, our families, or our fellow men.
Grant us wisdom from Thy mind, courage from Thine heart, and protection by Thine
hand. It is for Thee that we do battle, and to thee belongs the victor's crown.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and glory forever,
Amen! **

"Oh Lord, Who didst call on Thy disciples to venture all to win all men to
Thee, grant that we, the chosen members of the Special Air Service Regiment,
may by our works and our ways dare all to win all and, in so doing, render
special service to Thee and our fellow men in all the world, through the
same Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen." **

The Three Ranges of Combat…
There are three ranges to combat, be it Spiritual, Physical, Global or Political. As a Born Again, Spirit Filled Believer you will be confronted by the enemy at some point as you become more and more effective for the Kingdom of God. This is nothing to fear, because Satan was not planning on leaving you alone anyway. But as an anointed ‘Federal Marshal’ for the Kingdom of God, it is your job to confront him and bind his operations where ever you may find them. Remember Matt.16:19? And Matt 18:18?

One of the things we have endeavored to do from the very beginning of this course is to prepare you for the realities of Spiritual Combat (otherwise known as just the plain ole’ realities of Life). And to train you to think through Life’s Challenges not religiously, but more importantly Scripturally and Accurately.
In today’s society, the shift has been more and more blatantly to an openly pagan oriented focus than ever before. In our Schools (I understand that there are actually some colleges which offer courses on ‘witchcraft’), there have even been a number of shows on TV in recent years subtly promoting witchcraft, from Charmed to Sabrina the Teenage Witch, to several kids shows with the same theme. Indeed, a major toy manufacturer has produced three little 'dolls' that come with their own ‘spells’ that children can learn to do. Harmless? Or a very careful and well planned ‘dulling of society’s senses’ to the enemy’s schemes?
With the advent of reading material about witchcraft crafted in such a manner as to be enthralling to children to the point of near obsession, and yet appear totally innocuous and benign to their parents, the enemy has embarked upon a subtle campaign to infest our children and society at large with the tentacles of witchcraft in one form or another. That being the case, when these purveyors of White, Black or Gray Magic endeavor to affect you or your loved ones, it is imperative that you are prepared to handle it. What would you do in the following scenario?
You have been witnessing to a young lady on your job about the Lord and invite her to come with you to visit your church. It is then that you find out that someone else on your job has been talking to her about ‘The Goddess’, and telling her why should she go to church and listen to propaganda about a chauvinistic God, when she can ‘worship the Goddess’ a female deity who can identify with her specific wants, and needs and desires. As you are talking, this other person walks up and after a few moments subtly gives a veiled threat about her ability to cast spells on people that irritate her or get in her way… Please answer the following three questions…
1) How would you handle this situation? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2) How did Paul handle two similar situations?

3) What are the scripture references for those incidents?
