The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. And PRAYER is one of the most potent ones. I believe that God expects us to wield that weapon against the enemy and his minions forcefully.
We believe David's prayers were somewhat of a model for such.
Whether one considers Biblical examples of God's vengeance against spiritual demonic forces or demonized persons ... a passive or weak response is not in order, imho.
Exercise...walk, run...move.
War is coming...and we are getting ready.
