Rocks = stubborn human beings who are difficult, or hard situations that won’t change.

Two important principles:

  1. We are not fighting human beings — Ephesians 6:12 says this clearly.
  2. God CAN. God can do it. That sounds so simple

If we’re going to come against the rocks in our lives, we have to prepare for battle because we’re coming against these invisible evil forces talked about in Eph. 6:12. We need to put on the full armor of God as explained in verses 13-17 so we don’t get beat up. And when the battle gets fierce, often that means that victory is around the corner.

3 Tools in the fight:

  1. Fasting
  2. God’s Word
  3. Blessing people

Final point: you have to let go of your plans for the person you are praying for.
