THE COMBAT MANUAL A strategy for Spiritual Warfare
By Marjorie Cole HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL Each progression of the diagram is proceeded by a brief explanation of that diagram. An auxiliary bible study called “Prepare Your Case” is available to facilitate discussion of the specific truths and personal application of the concepts laid out in “The Combat Manual”. We encourage you to use your authority in Christ to enforce the victory of Jesus Christ at Calvary and to take back the ground the Enemy has stolen from you. Our caution would be to proceed with humility and a wise plan, as anyone would do when assessing their enemy before engaging him. All Prayers are reproducible without charge.

Brreaks in the circle are a result of the sins of fthe generations past. Exodus 20:5… “I am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.“
Satan comes through these openings. The Bible tells us the sins of the fathers are visited on to the children to the third and fourth generations. This visitation of sin is the “default” on the human life. In Ezekiel 18 God addresses the sins of the generations and declares that “no longer” does the wickedness of the previous generations have to be the spiritual legacy of their descendants. The generational avalanche of wickedness can be changed. Each one has the option and spiritual responsibility to make their own choices.
In recognizing the generational sins we are not looking for a way to blame our parents or grandparents. We are simple looking for the patterns of destruction that the enemy has used in trying to destroy our generational legacy. We are taking responsibility to bring our generations back to the Cross of Calvary, to declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”. Joshua 24:15

3. The enemy uses these openings to set up strongholds which are patterned after those he has created in your generations’ past. (From these strongholds Satan sets up his “base of operations” from which to take over your life.)
The strongholds contain the seeds of destruction– the specific lies that have come down to us as a spiritual legacy and inheritance. (Psalm 51:5 “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”
Psalm 51 tells us we were conceived in iniquity & born in sin—the iniquities & seeds of destruction are already present in us at birth.
