This document discusses taking authority in prayer through commanding rather than petitioning. It emphasizes being bold and not fearing, as your words have power. References are made to being like a hippo in strength and preparedness for spiritual warfare. Quoting scripture when commanding is important, such as using the blood of Jesus. The story of David at Baal-Perazim is given as an example of asking God to break through the enemy before you through your commands.

(Job 40:15-19)
o V15: The Hippo was created like us humans. Describe a hippo:
Heavy, confident, solid in weight, dictoral, intimidating, strong,
territorial - so too must we be in our warfare. They are also very
observant, they keep watch.
o V16: Strength, a hippo is one of the strongest animals in the
kingdom – so too we must become strong in our warfare/prayer.
o V16 : Loins, gird your loins means to prepare for something
difficult. Loins is the part of the body on both sides of the spine,
between the lowest ribs and hipbones - stand up straight, the
power is in the grin, get ready, stand firm, stand solid – we need to
gird ourselves in the spirit, prepare ourselves in the spirit to stand
firm, solid etc…. The hippo strength is in his loins , therefore God
instructed Job to “Gird up your loins” Job 38:3
o V16: power - is the ability to do something or act in a particular
way.

8. The Hippo Revelation
(Job 40:15-19)
o V16: Sinew, also known as tendon, this is a tough band of fibrous
tissue that connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding
tension. God is telling us here that we are as tough as a Hippo's belly,
we can withstand anything! God will not give us a burden that we
cannot pray through, get through, stand through, fight through etc…
Therefore “rivers of living waters will flow from your belly (your spirit),
John 7:37.
o V17: Tail, moves like a cedar tree : cedar tree is described in the bible
as strong and durable (Isaiah 9:10), high and tall (Amos 2:9, Ezek
17:22). So too must we position ourselves in the spirit, strong, durable,
high & tall.
o V17: Tendons of his thigh are twisted together - his sinews are tight
together that will allow him to stand firm, solid etc.... Great emphasis is
given to us a guideline! Take note beloved.
o V18: Bones, are like tubes of bronze – bronze is a very strong
material, it is strong, firm etc…
o V18 : Iron, his ribs are like bars of iron – iron is strong and can
withstand heat & electricity.
o V19 :
