You have DOMINION OVER SATAN AND EVIL SPIRITS Part 1

 


         You have DOMINION OVER SATAN AND EVIL SPIRITS

                                                           Part 1


The problem today is most people, even Christians, do not want to admit that demonic and evil forces are real.

It is a shame that a great country like America, with bibles and churches almost on every corner, the people know less about demonic power than the people in Africa or Tibet.

Ministers of our generation have not informed the people of the reality of demonic power.

There are three sources of power common to human understanding:

1 The divine power or power that precedes from the omnipotence of God our Father.

2. Satanic power or power coming from Lucifer or Satan, the fallen archangel.

3. Human power, or the power of man, this third power is a neutral force that can be directed by the Heavenly or demonic powers...

God has given man the right to choose his life style and destiny, he created man to rule and have dominion over the total of creation.

Ephesians 6:12   12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So, who is the devil and what are demons? Satan the devil is mentioned in the bible more than two hundred times.

Ezekiel 28: 14-15   14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Ezekiel 28:17   17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Satan was created an archangel, one of the highest order of Gods creation.

Satan was not content to be the beautiful intelligent creature of Gods creation, and the highest order of angels, he wanted a position that was equal to Gods.

He was perfect in beauty and evidently the first created being, also possible that before his fall he led musical praise to God.

Satan fell because of his greed and lust. Having a multitude of iniquities, (pride and greed), these are major tools he uses in tempting man to sin.

How many people commit sins out of pride of possession and pride of physical beauty? If these could produce iniquity in the “cherub” how easily will they produce iniquity in sinful flesh like ours?

The devil is not an influence or an idea or some design, he is an evil spirit that wages war against human beings, especially Christians.

His pride and by pride comes “contention”. Contention means strive and being proud.

The devil is spoken of as possession personal characteristics: heart, pride speech, knowledge, power, desire and lust.

What are demons?

Demons are fallen angels that are aligned with Satan. Jesus speaks of the everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.

 Matthew 25:41   41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Revelation 12:7-9   And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

The great dragon called that old serpent. He is also called the devil and Satan, which deceived the whole world, was cast out of Heaven into the Earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

These angels are the demons or evil unclean spirits the bible speaks of. Their name comes from the Latin word daemon, meaning evil spirit.

And from the Greek word daimon, means a divinity.

Demons are ageless; from the bible we understand that large numbers of demons roam the earth and the air.

Since they do not die, they have been in the world since the beginning of time.

These demons are personalities without bodies, and they are highly organized.

As fallen spirits they desire to dwell in a body, in order to manifest themselves.

They are angry with God because of their fallen state, their prime motive is to destroy what God loves or creates: especially man.

John 10:10   10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

When someone who is possessed of a devil dies, that evil spirit “demon” immediately seeks a dwelling place in another person.

They can not just walk into any person’s life; they must find a human with an open door.

If he is a spirit of lust, he will seek a lustful person, if he is a spirit of anger, he seeks to possess a person who has little control over his temper. A spirit of insanity will seek to enter a persons mind.

In the high places mentioned in Ephesians 6; 12 Satan and his demonic angels have their base of operations.

Jesus dealt with demons constantly, casting them out of people, and giving his disciples the power to set people free. The Holy Spirit had not yet come.

Matthew 10: 1    And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Luke 9:1-2    Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

John 14:1111 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Very often demons name themselves, the spirits in the demon possessed man called themselves legion.

We must realize that the demons are liars as their leader Satan is and may not tell the truth about their names, numbers or strength.

They also vary in wickedness. Some can be more wicked than others.

Matthew 12:43- 45   43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

This person needs to be filled with God. His spirit can not be filled with Satan if it is full of God and his word.

Demons also vary in power and they seem to know the names of those who rebuke them and exorcise them.

Acts 19:15   15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

Demons believe in God, their belief is not one of faith and trust and commitment, rather it is one of knowledge.

Demons have willpower, they oppose the saints and have doctrines. They abide not by the truth.

But the one thing we all need to remember is what they are subject to. They are under the sovereignty of the Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 3:22   22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

One can not hope to deal with the subject of demon power without expecting one question above all others…. Can a Christian have a demon? Can an evil spirit enter and possess a believer?

The controversy on this issue rages around a theory of recognition and definition.

Who is a Christian? And what can happen in his or her life?

James 4:7   Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Mark 16:17   17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

The bible emphatically states, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

This is the position of the born-again believer. In My name shall they cast out devils.

The Christian should not fear the devil or his demons, he or she should cast him out… dethrone him, exorcise him.

However, a person who identifies himself or herself as a Christian and goes to fortune tellers, plays the Ouija board, and depends on horoscopes for guidance is an open door for the entrance of the evil ones.

Satan himself and the demons that serve him inhabit the nations of this world and seek to dominate them.

Satan is called the god of this world for a good reason.

His evil sprits which no one can number have their residence in the atmosphere of the planet Earth.

Mans history from the beginning until now is laced with conflicts and crises in which the devil is weakening the kingdoms by war, pestilence, famine, moral degradation and every conceivable means.

Demon power has dominated the nations in the past and threatens to do so in America.

Witchcraft, the occult and sensual evil has never been as open in America as it is right now.

We are in a time when the devil is seeking to conquer America, if our generation fails to take authority over the devil and his demons, our children and their children could live in a country that is tyrannized by a demon possessed dictator.

The devil has not changed and is still very real.

Demons exist today and they are always seeking ways to enter human bodies.

The Christian has nothing to fear: for greater is He that is in you, the Holy Spirit, than he, Satan and his demonic force, that is in the world.

1 John 4:4   Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

When John is saying, ye are of God, it means Christ in us, and the meaning, have over come them, the word them means any spiritual thing that tries to come against you, and tries to harm you.

1 John 5: 4-5   For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Whosoever is born of God means to accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as the Lord of your life.

And through this acceptance we have victory that overcomes the world.

We do have to be alert. When you play with fire, you can get burned. If you carelessly go into Satan’s territory, you can open your self up to his evil work.

Ways to recognize demon power

Being in the ministry of deliverance, I said, at one time: “there will be more demonic activity, more people oppressed, and possessed, than the world has ever known before in America. This was in the eighties.

This was before the revival of the occult and had reached the proportions it has today in America.

During the time Jesus was here on earth, demon power was more evident than any previous time.

Until now; half the world is either depressed, oppressed or possessed by the devil. The other half doesn’t believe the devil exists, and the devil sees to it the two never meet.

Demonic power can be seen more easily and more often in crimes against people, property and society than anywhere else.

No big surprise when you read John 10:10

John 10:10   10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

If you know the bible, Jesus said the devil is a thief, whose threefold work is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

Demons set the stage for the antichrist, and the main props in this grand deception are religion and demon worship.

Jesus told his disciples that false christ’s and false prophets would arise, showing signs and wonders to seduce the people.

An empty and confused soul becomes a sign to the devil, like an empty house for rent, Satan is happy to take up the vacancy.

Luke 11:24-26   24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.  

This explains why we are seeing such widespread activity of demons in religion and worship.

As people become increasingly depleted spiritually and the idea of God grows dimmer and dimmer, people become as and undefended fortress, in which these evil powers have an easy access.

It is so sad to see people become victims of satanic depression and obsession.

Every home should be covered by the blood of Jesus so the devil can not harm them.

A Christian has no reason to fear, but they do need to be aware of their right to the power and authority of Jesus’ name.

The devil seldom takes over a person’s life all at once. He does it a little at the time, step by step.

Sometimes he is able to take complete control quickly, but usually it is a slow process over a period of weeks, months, or even years.

Demons begin with the smallest amount of demonic power that hurts a person and continue until the person is completely overwhelmed.

Satan hates us because we are the sons and daughters of God. He wants to destroy us, but Jesus can set us free from anything the devil tries to do.

DECREE AND DECLARE GODS WORD PART 2

 


DECREE AND DECLARE GODS WORD 

PART 2


Decree 14-   Lord I thank you for the Holy Spirit that is within me. Lord I choose to live a life of prayer today, and I will pray without ceasing.

I purpose in my heart to pray in this manner today, and I thank you that you empower me with the precious Holy Spirit to seek you and to pray to you every moment of every day.

1 Thessalonians 5:17    17 Pray without ceasing.

God knows we cannot spend all our time on our knees, but it is possible to have a prayerful attitude at all times.

Decree 15-   Lord you formed my heart, father I pray that you would recreate in me a clean heart, and restore to me a steadfast spirit.

Lord thank you that you do not cast me away from your presence. Fill me with your Holy Spirit anew each day, fill me now Holy Spirit.

Psalms 51:10   10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Decree 16-   God will never forsake me, thank you Father, that you are with me always. Your spirit is within me to guide and teach me continually

I am accepted unconditionally and I will never be rejected by my Heavenly Father. Lord I thank you for your love n acceptance of me today.

Hebrews 13:5   Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

How can we learn to be satisfied with what we have? Don’t resent what you don’t have, Gods love expressed in what He has provided. Money and possessions will all pass away.

We become content when we realize Gods sufficiency for our needs. Trust God to meet all your needs.

Decree 17-   Lord I thank you that you blot out all my sins and iniquities, Father you don’t remember my sins any longer. My sins are as far as the east is from the west, because I am atoned for and restored to right relationship with you by the cleansing blood of Jesus.

And today I choose to forgive myself for the times that I have fallen short as well.


Isaiah 43:25   25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.


Psalms 103:12   12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. God says I am the one who blots out your transgressions, and its for my own sake and will not remember thy sins.

Decree 18-   Father I thank you that I am led by your spirit and I thank you that you have given to me the Holy Spirit who guides and teaches me.

Lord I am your child, I am your (son or daughter), so I am led by your spirit. I thank you that the Holy Spirit is going to lead me today.


Romans 8:14   14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

When we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and Lord of our life, we gain all the rights of a legitimate child, in Gods new family. We become full heir to His estate.  We might not always feel as though we belong to God but the Holy Spirit is our witness. His inward presence reminds us of who we are and encourages us with Gods love.

Decree 19-   Lord I bless you today with all my soul, I bless your Holy Name, and father I thank you that you forgave all my sins and healed all my sicknesses. I believe I am forgiven and healed in Jesus name.

Psalms 103: 1-3   103 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

We need never wallow in the past, for God forgives and forgets. If we are to follow God when we forgive another person, we must also forget the sin, otherwise we have not truly forgiven.

Decree 20-   Lord I worship you today, and I thank you for your angelic host that work on your behalf. I declare that your angels heed your word, Lord as I confess your word over my life, your angels are being released to perform your word on my behalf. I release and welcome Gods angels to bring your promises into full manifestation in my life and circumstances in Jesus name.

Psalms 103: 20   20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Everything everywhere is to praise the Lord, all his angels, and all his works. Praising God means remembering all he has done for us, fearing Him and obeying His commands.

Decree 21-   Father I thank you that you are the good Sheppard, I shall not lack any good thing, you supply all of my needs by Christ Jesus, Lord I thank you for restoring and healing my soul today in Jesus name.

Psalms 23: 1-3     The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

As the Lord is the good Sheppard, and we are his sheep, not frightened animals, but obedient followers. Wise enough to follow one who will lead us in the right way.

Decree 22-   Father today, I choose to make you my refuge, I choose to trust in you, my Lord. I make a conscious decision to live and dwell in the secret place. I trust you and I thank you that no evil shall touch me in Jesus name, for your angelic host protects me.

Psalms 91:1-2    He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.


Psalms 91: 9-11   Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

God is a shelter, a refuge when we are afraid. The writers faith in almighty God as protector would carry him through all the dangers and fears of life.

This should be a picture of our trust. Trading all our fears for faith in Him. No matter how intense our fears. To do this we must live and rest with Him.

Decree 23-   Father I accept that you love me with an everlasting love, and that you are drawing me close to you, with the cords of your supernatural love, grace and mercy.

Your love for me is unshakable, it is unchangeable, you will never forsake me, and you are with me to the ends of the earth. Thank you, Lord, that you have an eternal love for me, that shall endure forever.

Jeremiah 31:3   The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

God reaches toward his people with kindness, motivated by deep and everlasting love. He is eager to do the best for us, if we will only let Him. This restoration will include all people who trust God.

Decree 24-   Lord I thank you that your kingdom is within me. I thank you that your Kingdome will come on earth as it is in heaven, because your kingdom is within me now.

Lord I surrender my spirit, soul and body to your Kingdom, and thank you that I will demonstrate your Kingdome with power of the Holy Spirit everywhere I go today. Lord I invite your Kingdom to come in my life today in Jesus name.

Luke 17:21   21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

The Kingdom of God is not like an earthly kingdom with geographical boundaries, instead, it begins with the work of Gods spirit in people’s lives and relationships.

We must resist looking to institutions or programs for evidence of the progress or Gods kingdom. Instead we should look for what God is doing in people’s hearts.

Decree 25-   Oh Lord I am asking you to bless me indeed and expand my sphere of influence for your glory today. Father god, place your mighty right hand firmly upon me and protect me, keep me from evil and sin, please do not allow me to cause any harm or pain to my love ones, neighbors or myself, in Jesus Name.

1 Chronicles 4:10   10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

We live in a fallen world filled with sin, and it is important to ask God to keep us safe from unavoidable evil that comes our way, but we must also avoid evil motives, desires and actions that begin within us.

Therefore, not only must we seek Gods protection from evil, but we must also ask God to guard our thoughts and actions. We can begin to utilize this protection by filling our mind with positive thoughts and attitudes.

Decree 26-   No weapon that is formed against me shall succeed. I condemn every tongue and word curse that has been spoken and that rises up against me, I command every force of darkness associated with these word curses to cease from your assignment.

I bind you in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord I ask you to release your angels to war on my behalf in the name of Jesus Christ, and bring every negative word spoken against me to naught and to no effect.

Isaiah 54:17   17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

God made a covenant of peace with the people of Israel, that the time would come when he would stop pouring out his anger on them, he would teach their people and give them prosperity.

And in that day no weapon turned against you will succeed, these benefits are enjoyed by the servants (or Christians) today, because we have been graphed into the Jewish roots through Christ Jesus, through faith.

Decree 27-   Lord I just want to bless you with all my heart and soul. Father I thank you and I bless you for everything that you have done, and everything that you are going to do as you prosper me, heal me, and transform my life.

I choose to take some time and bless you now for you are very good to me. (take a few minutes to bless the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the good things they have done in your life.

Psalms 103:1   Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

David gives us plenty for which to praise God, he forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeemed us from death, crowns us with love and compassion, satisfies our desires and gives righteousness and justice.

We receive all of these without deserving any of them, no matter how difficult your life’s journey, you can always count your blessings, past, present and future. When you feel as though you have nothing for which to praises God, read David’s list.

Decree 28-   Lord I choose to trust you today, and I will see your hand move upon my behalf, I shall feed upon your faithfulness and you will provide for me.

I shall lack no good thing, Lord I bless you and I thank you for all of the blessings, provisions and favor that you have given to me. You are my shepherd and I shall not want. I choose to do good today.

Psalms 37:3   Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

We should never envy evil people, even though some may be extremely popular or excessively rich. No matter how much they have, it will fade and vanish like grass that withers and dies.

Those who follow God, and live differently from the wicked in the end will have treasures in heaven. What an unbeliever gets on earth may last his lifetime, but what you get from following God lasts forever.

Decree 29-   father I thank you for the ministry of Jesus. Lord I thank you that after the lord ascended upon high that the Holy Spirit was given to me. I thank you for the Holy Spirit today.

Lord I thank you that the Holy Spirit is within me, and that the precious Holy Spirit will speak to me today, Holy Spirit I ask you to lead me and guide me in your preordained path for me today.

Acts 13:2   As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

Psalms 37:23   23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

The person in whom God delights is one who knows God, trusts him and tries to do His will. God watches over us and makes firm every step that a person takes. If you would like to have God direct your way, then seek His advice before you step out.

We should dedicate ourselves to use our time, money and talents for Gods work. Ask God what he wants you to set apart for Him.

Decree 30-   Father your word teaches me that you will give me your wisdom in abundance, Lord I thank you for giving me your wisdom freely today, thank you Lord that I will walk in the spirit of wisdom and revelation today, and that my steps will be ordered by you today. I am grateful to you Father, that your spirit always guides me in perfect double peace.

James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

By wisdom, James is talking not only about knowledge, but about the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances. Whenever we need wisdom, we can pray to God and he will generously supply what we need. If we want answers, we can ask for Gods wisdom to guide our choices. Wisdom means practical discernment of God’s word.

Decree 31-   Lord I am healed in the name of Jesus Christ; I thank you that you sent Jesus to take my sins and sickness away on the cross. Lord I am saved and by the stripes of Jesus I am healed, I will prosper and be in perfect health today, even as my soul is saved and prospers.


Matthew 8:17   17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

1 Peter 2:24   24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Matthew continues to show Jesus’ Kingly nature. Through a single touch Jesus healed. When He spoke a single word, evil spirits fled His presence, Jesus has authority over all evil powers and all earthly disease.

He also has power and authority to conquer sin, sickness and evil consequences of this fallen world. Jesus’ healing miracles were a taste of what the whole world will one-day experience in Gods Kingdom.

Christ Jesus died for our sins, in our place so we would not have to suffer the punishment we deserve. This is called substitutionary atonement.

Bonus word… This shall be a year of extravagant praise, a year of double peace and prosperity. Father I thank you that you are releasing your angels to work on my behalf heeding your word. Thank you for great grace, double peace and supernatural prosperity upon my life. Amen

DECREE AND DECLARE GODS WORD PART 1

 


DECREE AND DECLARE GODS WORD

PART 1



John 14:13-14   13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Jesus is not saying here that whatever Christians ask for they will get answered, as James says Christians must learn to say “if the Lord wills”.

Romans 8:27-28   27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
We must do the will of God in our lives, as Jesus said, not my will…

Luke 22:42   42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
The overriding goal of the Holy Spirit is to carry out the will of God in our lives. Not our personal wills. Whatever we say or do must glorify God through the Son.
We must accept what God wants. All glory belongs to God the Father. If and when we pray whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual, if it doesn’t give God
glory, we won’t be getting what we are asking for.
We know he hears us and we believe it is His will. Whatever we ask presents that fact that we are assured of this. Even though we might see an immediate answer to our prayer, we know that we have the petitions that we desire of him, providing it is His will.
Always remembering in our petition, it has to glorify the Father through the Son for it to be his will.

James 4:14-15   14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Writing a decree is for establishing a written law.

For instance, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would not worship the golden image of the king Nebuchadnezzar. He threw them into the furnace. He had written a decree for the people to bow to the image of him.

Declare means to make clear, make known or to proclaim.

Romans 1:4     And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Before you can declare something, there has to be a something.

The mosaic law by Moses was a decree of law by God the Father. The stone tablets were to make clear, or make known or to proclaim or declare, that this is the law.


Dan 6:7, 6:9 and 6:26   All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

The king wrote a decree, declared the decree and rewrote another decree to cancel the first decree.

Psalms 103: 18-20   18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

Every demon in hell must bow tot that name. And every angel in heaven will heed Gods anointed word, spoken in the name of Jesus.

As we begin to speak and decree the confessions of Gods anointed word, expect your life to be transformed by the power of the name of Jesus.

As you confess the decrees of God’s word you will be putting the heavenly father in remembrance of his promises to you.

God’s word promises that he will contend “stand with us” together with you, for your breakthrough or your victory.


John 14 :25-26   These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Jesus is saying, the Holy Spirit will teach and guide us: He does this in many ways.

It is so important to have your heart open to hear from the spirit of God: He was sent here to help us.


Job 22: 28   28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

Make a firm foundation.

I believe with all my heart, that as we decree these words of confession over our lives, we will see God transform our circumstances for the better.

Since we have a role to play in releasing the Kingdom of God, and the blessings that the Lord has preordained for us to walk in that we can find how to activate Gods supernatural blessings and favor in our lives by decreeing and declaring His word.

Mark 11: 22-24   22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Jesus is saying, have faith in God, whoever says, (speaks, decrees, confesses or prophesies) and believes, and not doubt, but believes those things he says, (speaks, decrees or prophesies) will be done, will have whatever he says.

He, Jesus, said: (say) three times. Evidently it must be very important to speak the words.

To a believer it should never matter what it looks like in the natural realm, if the word says “I am blessed, I was healed, I am prosperous, then make a decision to speak it into your life. Decree and declare the grace of God into your life in the name of Jesus.

Sometimes the enemy uses words against us. That is why decreeing Gods anointed word over our life is so powerful and life changing.

God’s word nullifies and triumphs over the enemy’s words every time.

Words are very powerful. We need to be very careful. If you confess poverty, the devil will work double time to keep you poor.

If you say that you have a sickness or weakness, the devil will gladly give you a big helping of sickness or weakness.

Never confess or say you are sick, always say, I am battling sickness.

Never say you’re are living in poverty, always say… I am battling poverty.

Isaiah 54:17   17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

This is so powerful; it gives us the right to condemn every tongue which rises against us in judgment.

We even need to resist the tongue of those in the medical profession. Be careful and do not repeat everything that the doctor diagnosed you with.

If you must say something say, I’m battling so and so.

Continue decreeing and declaring Gods word.


Hebrews 11:1   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.


Hebrews 11:6   But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Mark 11:22   22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Declare Decree 1-   I shall serve the Lord with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything that you shall give to me this year. Thank you, Lord.

2 Corinthians 9:8     And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

God will generously provide all you need. Then you will Always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Decree 2-   Thank you Lord, that I shall be kept in perfect peace, and double prosperity as I keep my mind and spirit focused upon you. I choose to trust you today Father.

Isaiah 26:3   Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

We can never avoid strife in the world around us, but when we fix our thoughts on God we can know perfect peace even in turmoil.

Decree 3- Lord I will daily cast my cares upon you because you care for me. Right now Father I cast these cares upon you. (Tell Him about your concerns or worries of the day.)

1 Peter 5:7   Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Carrying your worries stresses and daily struggles by yourself shows that you are not fully trusting God with your Life: don’t submit to circumstances, but to the Lord, who controls circumstances.

Decree 4- this will be a year of double peace, double grace and double anointing, and I will prosper and be in health as my soul prospers. I will prosper in all aspects of my life.

3 John 1:2   Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Today people still fall short in their thinking. God is concerned with your body and your soul. As a Christian we should neither neglect nor indulge for Gods service.

Decree 5- I purpose in my heart and spirit, to let my words be few in my conversations. I will not enter into vain speaking or foolish speaking today, Lord. May the meditations of my heart and the words of my mouth be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord; My strength and my Redeemer.

Psalms 19:14   14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you. As you begin each day, determine that Gods love will guide what you say and how you think. Let your words be few.

Decree 6- the Fathers divine love, or agape love, has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit.

I purpose to walk in the God kind of love at all times, this day and each day this year.

I will love everyone who crosses my path today and I choose to walk in love, because the love of God has been poured out in my heart by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 5:5   And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

This expectation will not disappoint us because all three members of the trinity are involved in this. The Father and the Son send the Holy Spirit to fill our life with Love to enable us to live by His power.

With all this loving care, how can we do less than serve Him completely.

Decree 7- Lord I purpose in my heart to forgive my enemies, who seem to persecute me. I ask that you would bless (name)

In a great and mighty way. “Ask the Holy Spirit to help you with this”.

Matthew 5:44   44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Jesus asks us to love our enemies. If you love your enemies and treat them well, you are truly showing that Jesus is Lord of your life. (This does not include Satan and his fallen angels.)

Decree 8- Lord I purpose in my heart to seek first the Kingdom of God and your righteousness in my life. I will seek your Kingdom and your righteousness today and every day. Father I ask that you will begin to give me more revelation about what your righteousness encompasses.

Matthew 6:33   33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

As we seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all these things: salvation, prosperity, health, wisdom, love, peace and Joy shall be added to you.

Decree 9- I purpose to build myself up by praying in the spirit today. I will nourish my spirit, soul and body everyday by praying in the Holy Spirit.

Jude 17-21   17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

If you are not baptized in the holy spirit, just pray in your normal fashion, God knows your heart.

Decree 10- Lord I ask you for my inheritance today. Father I am your child, and an heir of your kingdom, I am a joint heir with Jesus Christ.

Father I thank you for these privileges today, I ask lord for you to release my supernatural heritage as a partaker of the inheritance of the saints of the light.

Because Jesus has delivered me from the power of darkness, and translated me into your kingdom of heaven.

Lord I ask you for the fullness of Christ’s atonement of the cross of Calvary to come forth in my life and circumstances today.

Romans 8:17   17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Colossians 1:12-13    12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Everything God gives to his Son, Jesus Christ is our too. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.

What kind of suffering are we to endure? In many parts of the world, Christians face the same severe circumstances as the ones in Jesus’ day. (The disciples)

Decree 11- Praying this prayer from this very spot will spring forth a great move and work of God that will impact the whole earth for Christs’ glory.

Matthew 28: 18-20   18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus said, we are not all evangelists in the formal sense, but we have all received gifts that we can use to help fulfill the great commission, as we obey, we have comfort in the knowledge that Jesus is always with us.

Decree 12-   Lord forgive me for wearying you with my sins and iniquities. Thank you, Father, that you do not remember my sins and iniquities, Lord let us contend together.

I put you in remembrance of your promises to forgive and restore me Father. I state my case Lord may we contend together, Lord that you may acquit me in your tender mercy and grace.

Isaiah 43:26    26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

Decree 13-   Lord I confess my sins to you today.

Father I thank you that you see me through the atoning blood of Jesus. You forgive me of my sins and you cleanse me and make me righteous in your sight.

I am righteous and I am made holy by the blood of Jesus. I am I right standing with you Father. I thank you for that today.

1 John 1:9   If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Even as Christians we still sin, and still need to confess. This kind of confession is not offered to gain Gods acceptance, but to remove the barrier to fellowship that our sin has put between us and God.

WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?

 



WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?

 

Do you choose eternal life with the Father or eternal life in the eternal fire?

 

Phil. 3:18-19   18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

 We are so close to the rapture. It seems to me the world situation is reaching a peak of evilness. Many things that are happening is spoken of in the word. People are calling good evil, and evil good.


People in the world have the mindset that if everyone is doing it then it must be ok… there seems to be no consciousness of sin or wrong doing, burning churches, killing seems to be the thing to do. Riots seem to have become the norm.

There seems to be no right or wrong anymore. People are thinking only on this life on earth, their god is their appetite for shameful things, lust, money, sexual perversion.

Are you responding to the world situations or the inspired word of God? What will we do when the word is gone? Is it a matter of time before the people in power outlaw the word? Forbid preaching the word?

Several things need to take place before the end of days, which is after the rapture. But nothing needs to happen before the son of God takes us out of this world into His world.

If you are not a believer and not serving God through his word, you are in trouble. You need to seek the Lord and become a follower of Jesus Christ.

Mark 8: 36-38   36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

What would you give in exchange for your soul…? Your soul is made up of your mind, will and emotion.

What will it profit us if we gain all the things of the world and loose our eternity with Christ?

Are we going to be ashamed to stand and look into the eyes of Jesus? Or do you even believe in life after death? Your soul will go somewhere when you die, either heaven or hell.

John 14: 6   Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:17   17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

The world cannot receive the truth, because the truth only comes through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

You will never know the truth if you don’t seek God and seek to make Jesus the Lord of your life and received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the one who reveals truth to your spirit. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, now is a good time to do that. To receive the Lord as your savior Say this, Lord thank you for coming to earth to save me. I invite you into my heart today. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Amen.

John 15: 18-19   18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

As Christians we are not of this world; we are here only to be a vessel that Christ can use to carry out what he finished at the cross. The world hated Christ without a cause and the world will hate you also.

Very soon as Christians if you keep following the religions of the world and not following the word of God, the point of no return will keep getting smaller and smaller.

 

John 1: 1-5   1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The word of God overcame by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ. This is what the cross is about…

It’s all about the Lord, loving him, serving him, being ready for him to come and take us to heaven when the time is right. Don’t get left behind.

What will you do when the word is gone?

Since it takes the word of God and the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to discern, or understand the word how can we continue to renew our minds so our souls, which is made up of our mind our will and our emotion can continue to be fed.

If the word is gone by eliminating all of our bibles and religious materials, the only hope you have left is to have it down in your heart. You need at least the basics. Especially hope.

Hebrews 11:1   11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is not just a word. Faith is a tool of God, used correctly it will produce substance from the heavenly realm to the earthly realm.

It is proof or evidence of things not seen, which means when you ask God for something you must have faith and believe you have it before it manifests in your life, that is faith.


Another basic you need is God’s peace.



Romans 5:1-2   5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Being justified by faith is the only way one can be justified. This is referring to faith in the cross by Christ Jesus. By having faith in the cross and Jesus we have access into this grace which will give us peace. Our faith in Christ always brings glory to the Father.

John 14:27   27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

When Jesus says peace, I leave with you, he is talking about his sanctifying peace. There is a vast difference in peace with God which all believers have and the peace of God.

This is the peace Jesus is speaking of. Not as the world gives. Peace of the world is surface or temporal. The peace given by Jesus is in the heart. This peace heals the troubled heart and takes away fear.

You can’t have this kind of peace with fear dominating you with thoughts of, what will I do if this thing or that thing happens. Believers should have that confidence, the overwhelming peace beyond understanding that God is taking care of it all.

2 Timothy 1:7   For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Fear is an evil spirit and God did not give it to us. He gave us power, love and a sound mind.

2 Timothy 3:1-5   3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

The word perilous means involving danger, risky situations. Having a form of godliness, while denying the power there of. These perilous times spoken here are difficult dangerous time which Christians are living in just before the rapture.

Denying the power, the modern church for all practical purposes has either denied the cross or just flat ignores it. This is where the working of the Holy Spirit works and whom the power resides

 

1 Corinthians 1:18   18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Spiritual things cannot be discerned by unredeemed people, still the cross must be preached and the unredeemed given every chance to accept Jesus.

We who are saved is the power of God, simply because it was there that the total sin debt was paid. Giving the Holy Spirit in whom the power resides the unction to come work mightily in our lives.

The believer makes the cross the object of his faith, giving the Holy Spirit power to help us. Without the Holy Spirit the believer is helpless against Satan who will put him in bondage, captive to sin.

The only hope we have when people destroy our world around us is the Holy Spirit who is working in our lives even as we speak. As Christians we have the perpetual guidance of the Holy Spirit working in our lives.
