Authority
Our Authority–
We take our seat of authority in heavenly places at the right hand of the father with Jesus.
Lord, we lean on You for everything today.
Eph 1:17-23 (NASB) – that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give [us, and our friends] a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. [18] I pray that the eyes of [our] heart[s] may be enlightened, so that [we] you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, [19] and what is the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might [20] which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, [21] far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. [22] And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him head over all things to the church, [23] which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Eph 2:1 (NASB) –And [all of us] were dead in [our] offenses and sins,
Eph 2:6 (NASB) –and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Father, we thank you for giving us our seat of authority in heavenly places at Your right hand in Christ Jesus, our Commander in Chief.
Healing
Our Healing–
Father, in the Name of Jesus, we receive Your resurrection life. The glory of God is dwelling in us today. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is making alive our mortal flesh. Every sickness, disease and infirmity must leave our bodies right now. Resurrection life is driving it out. The devil was defeated the day that Jesus was raised up. Now, Jesus is continually making us alive in Him. The older we get, the stronger we become. Thank You, LORD, for Your resurrection life in us!
Jesus ALREADY bore our sicknesses and carried away our pains. From God’s standpoint, OUR HEALING IS AN ACCOMPLISHED FACT! The work is already done. Now, it’s our responsibility to take what rightfully belongs to us. According to 1Pet 2:24, by His stripes, we WERE healed. Symptoms of distress, pains and sickness—you leave us right now! We ARE healed. We ARE whole. We walk in perfect health all because of what Jesus did for us. In Jesus’ name, we declare it so!
Faith and Increase
Our Faith and Increase–
We believe we are strong in The LORD, and in the power of His might. Our faith is growing phenomenally. Our love is increasing, and our hearts are being established in God’s WORD.
The stronger we are in faith and the more established we become, the easier it is to receive from God. We can forgive others, stand on God’s WORD, exercise our authority, control our flesh, remove mountains in our way, resist the devil, and overcome unstable and perilous times. The more we exercise our faith, the greater the results.
We release our faith over our tithes and giving. We have given our tithes and offerings to the work of God’s kingdom. According to Mk 10:29-30, and Gen 25:12-14, we believe we receive the hundredfold return NOW, IN THIS TIME! Isaac sowed in famine and received a hundredfold the same year. The LORD blessed and increased him. We are blessed and we are increasing. According to Mal 3:10, the windows of heaven are open over our household, and THE BLESSING is being poured out. There is not enough room to receive it all! We receive this by faith, in the mighty Name of Jesus, we believe this because we are rooted, grounded, anchored and established in God’s WORD.
Patriotic Decree
Our Patriotic Decree–
Concerning our great country — we remember our covenant. When we see wild things going on in this nation, we remember our covenant. When we see them trying to take our children away, we remember our covenant. When people are invading our border, we remember our covenant. When it appears like our nation is falling apart, we remember our covenant.
Since our God is in covenant with the United States of America, His covenant cannot fail because He will not quit. No matter who is trying to change it, they will be forgotten. They will disappear. Some will die, but our God lives forever.
Father, we decree over America once again that You formed us, You will resurrect us, and You will preserve us. You are exposing and judging evil in America, and will continue to do so — in government, media, education, and elsewhere. You will shake down every antichrist kingdom and eradicate every wicked scheme. And You will prevail.
Father, we come before you in the Name above every name, the Name of Jesus. And we stand before you, calling to remembrance the covenants made for this nation.
We invoke those covenants. Now we remember what you said in First Chronicles 16:14-15. “You are the Lord our God. Your judgments are in all earth. We are mindful always of your covenant, which was the word that you commanded to a thousand generations.”
Today we remember the 1607 Virginia Beach Covenant. A cross was placed on the beach marking the land for God. The prayer and decree made by Robert Hunt at Cape Henry is one of the most important God-inspired covenants of America’s foundation. We agree, and invoke this covenant, which he made on April 29, 1607
“We do hereby dedicate this land and ourselves to reach the people within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to raise up godly generations after us, and with these generations, take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this covenant of dedication remain to all generations as long as the earth remains, and may this land, along with England, be Evangelist to the world. May all who see this Cross remember what we have done here, and may those, who come here to inhabit, join us in this covenant and in this noblest work that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled. From these very shores, the gospel shall go forth, not only to this New World, but the entire world.”
After this declaration, the following powerful Bible passage was read:
“All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s, and He ruleth among the nations” (Psalm 22:27-28).
Robert Hunt’s Spirit-led decree regarding this land IS America’s destiny. We remember that covenant today. In Jesus Name!
