Historical Battleground in Sawyer County
During October of 2013 a group who specializes in territorial spiritual warfare, were asked to scout the area near Winter, a town in northwestern Wisconsin, to pray over dark kingdom strongholds prior to a conference which was to be held at a retreat center on the shores of Barker Lake. Two or three days prior to the conference we had located spiritual strongholds and a few bridges, in the conference center area, which had satanic symbols inked or carved into the structure. We prayed to bind the dark influences and countermand the evil that was scarring the land and community.

Brother Dave had a vision during the first night while attending a pre-conference prayer meeting. He saw a pile of rocks with an orange flag and had a word of knowledge that the spirit of death was there and needed to be spiritually cleansed. Dave asked many people from the area where such a location might be. Not even the Native Americans who attended the conference could help us find the site. However, by the providence of God, a local attendee suggested that we visit a nearby historical site during our stay.
We were told by that attendee about an event which had occurred during the autumn of 1790. Three hundred Chippewa warriors had hidden along the banks of the river and then ambushed the seven hundred strong Sioux war band. Brother Marvin, a local pastor and member of the contemporary tribal leadership, said that even though the marker states that roughly half of the Sioux escaped the ambush, that according to tribal history, only a small number survived the day. Craig, Dave, and I decided to go to the site, where Highway S and Highway 77 intersect, parallel to the Chippewa River, to spiritually remove the blood, generational and territorial curses.
As soon as we arrived at the site I said, “This is it. This is the place in Dave’s vision.” Walking from the parking area we soon found the rock pile with the “orange flag.” Rather than being a flag it was actually a white rod with the top several inches painted orange.
We bound the territorial spirits and fallen entities, and busted area curses, by the blood and authority of Jesus Christ. We also prayed for the cleansing of the blood that had been shed, so that it would not hinder the work of the Lord for the area or be used by the dark kingdom to promote continued generational strife between the Chippewa and Sioux tribes and other residents of the community.
