Dream: In my dream I was in a place with a large platform (I was with a group of believers) and from this platform there was a large box hanging (looked like a cage). Inside this large box was a person laying on the bare ground bound in sin and chains. We could see the people, but they couldn’t see us. The large box (cage) was opened facing the front where we can see the person laying down. We knew in our spirit this person was bound and chained up in major sin. Then, as soon as we saw the first box, the box moved counter clockwise away from our vision. As soon as this box moved another box came into sight with another person caged in sin. Our spirits were so grieved. We saw like four boxes move before we heard (in our spirits we knew it was an evil spirit) the voice of Satan say, “They are mine. You can’t touch them. They are mine. Get out of here. Who are you? Get out of here.” It was like we were interrupting his work. Immediately, I found myself at another place with a group of Christians interceding for these people that were caged/ entrapped in sin and the enemy’s schemes. We were praising the Lord and praying in a loud voice for deliverance. Out of nowhere a young lady comes near us and says, “I was one of those encaged in the box, owned by Satan and now I am free. Thank you for praying for me. I am free!” I sensed her joy and freedom. I just cried. I came near and hugged her.

When I woke up from this dream I knew the Lord was speaking. Ephesians 6: ²For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ... ¹³Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

2 Corinthians 10: ³For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. ⁴For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.

We need to intercede for the lost and our brothers /sisters entrapped in the life of sin.

God is calling His children/ body to do intercessory prayer because our warfare is not in the flesh but in the spirit. Our weapons are mighty before God capable to overflow and destroy strongholds. We need to war in the heavenlies for others like the people in those box cages. When Satan has captives it is difficult for them to pray for themselves. God is calling us to war in prayer, praise, and worship. We are soldiers in His army and we need to take on the armor. Then, intercede and intercede!
