3 John's Missiles: Prayer Declarations From The Book of 3 John

This book is one of the many books from the Flames On The Altar Ministry's Praying Through The Bible Book Collection. This book collection aims to pull out powerful and strategic prayer points based on each book and chapter of the Bible. The goal of Dr. Darius Ellis James through this specific book collection is to create effective prayer resources to help the Body of Christ strategically pray scriptures and cultivate a fervent and intimate prayer life.

3 John's Missiles is a book filled with strategic prayer declarations based upon the Bible verses found in the book of 3 John. According to Merriam-Webster, a missile is "an object (such as a weapon) thrown or projected usually so as to strike something at a distance." Therefore, just like a missile, the prayers in this book are a weapon fashioned by the Holy Spirit that is yielded by the Believer to strike the enemy at a distance. The prayer declarations in this book are not just for your present but also for your distant future. Prayer is the only thing that the Believer has that can be launched out into his future to attack the enemy and to destroy the plans of Satan against his life and loved ones.

The book of 3 John is the shortest book of the Bible, possessing only one chapter with fourteen verses. The author of the book of 3 John was apostle John, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. There are three main characters of interest in this book: Gaius (a man of Christ-like character), Diotrephes (A sinful and prideful man), and Demetrius (a Godly man worth imitating). Apostle John gave us three illustrations of leadership in this book that we all can learn from to the imitation of Christ-like character to the avoidance of the prideful resistance of God.
