O LORD God Almighty, who is like You? You are mighty, O LORD, and Your faithfulness surrounds You.
Holy! Holy! Holy! is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they were created and have their being."
1 Timothy 6:15-16; Psalm 108:3-4; Isaiah 25:1, Psalm 89:8, Revelation 4:8;11
Jesus the Image of God
Father we thank You for Jesus, Your Son, who is the radiance of God’Äôs glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life is the light of men.
Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the Head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross.
Hebrews 1:3-4, John 1:1-5, Colossians 1:15-20
Thanking God for Setting Us Free
We joyfully give thanks to You Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For You have rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son Your love, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Lord we thank You that You said, "Let light shine out of darkness," and made Your light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
So then, just as we received Christ Jesus as Lord, we continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as we were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
We declare that we are not taken captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. Cycles of death of human striving based on fear and drivenness to perform to earn love or acceptance are broken. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and we have been given fullness in Christ, who is the Head over every power and authority. In Him we were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through Your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.
We thank You Father that by Your circumcision You have cut off every lying voice of the enemy ’Äì voices of fear, of despair, of rejection, of discouragement and made them strange and unfamiliar voices to us. You are the Good Shepherd and You call Your own sheep by name and lead them out. We follow You alone because we know Your voice and we will never follow a stranger, in fact we will run away from Him, because we do not recognize the voice of a stranger.
Thank you for freeing us God! Whom the Son has set free is free indeed!
Colossians 1:11-14, Colossians 2:6-12, John 10:14-16, John 8:36
Thanking God for Restoring Hope
Father we thank You for making our valleys of Achor ’Äì the places of our greatest defeats and discouragements and wounds ’Äì doors of hope! We declare that the power of hope deferred is broken in our lives because we have this hope as an anchor for our souls - that our lives depend on two unchangeable things Your nature and Your word in which it is impossible for You to lie. You are not a man O God that You should lie or a son of man that You should change Your mind. Do You speak and not act? NO! Do You promise and not fulfill? NO! You have commanded blessing over us and it cannot be reversed. We declare that we have fled to take hold of this hope offered to us. We have returned to You, our Rock and our Fortress our Deliverer and we have become prisoners of hope! We hear now with the ears of faith You announcing that You will restore twice as much to us in this day!
Hosea 2:15, Hebrews 6:18-19, Numbers 23:19-20, Psalm 18:12, Zechariah 9:12
Committing to Live as Children of Light
Everyone who has this hope in God purifies Himself just as You are pure. Lord we declare that as sons and daughters of God, beloved by You, we choose to put off our old selves, which are being corrupted by deceitful desires, and to be made new in the attitude of our minds and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. As we choose to walk in the light, as You are in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus purifies us from all sin.
Father we commit from this day forward to live as children of the light, that is in all goodness, righteousness and truth and to find out what pleases You Lord.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. But we do not use our freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, we serve one another in love knowing that the entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love Your neighbor as yourself." Your word says that if we love You, we must do as You command. And if we obey Your word then, Your love is made complete in us. This is how we know we are in You: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did.
Jesus you said greater love has no man than he lay down his life for a friend. Father we thank You that You have given us undivided hearts so that now in our thoughts, words, actions and attitudes we walk in complete integrity and alignment with the heart of Christ. We can love like Jesus loved because You have strengthened us with power through Your Spirit in our inner beings so that Christ dwells in our hearts through faith. Being rooted and established in love we have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.
1 John 3:3, 1 John 1:7, Ephesians 4:22-24, Ephesians 5:8-10, Galatians 5:13-14, I John 2:5-6, John 15:13, Ezekiel 11:19, Philippians 3:16-19, 1 Corinthians 15:31, Galatians 5:1; 13-14, Ephesians 3:16-19, 1 John 4:17-18
Declaring that We are One Body
Father by the power of Your love we declare that there is one body and one spirit ’Äì just as we were called to one hope when we were called ’Äì one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
We are the body of Christ and each one of us is a part of it. God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. We bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances we may have against one another. We forgive as the Lord forgave us. And over all these virtues we put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. We let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, since as members of one body we were called to peace.
As the body of Jesus Christ we choose to love even those who set themselves as enemies against us. We do good to those who hate us, we bless those who curse us, we pray for those who mistreat us. If someone strikes us on one cheek, we turn to Him the other also. We give to everyone who asks us, and if anyone takes what belongs to us, we do not demand it back. We do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
Jesus we thank You for giving us the same glory the Father gave You that we might be One. May we be brought to complete unity to let the world know that the Father sent Jesus and has loved them even as the Father has loved Jesus.
Ephesians 4:4-7, 1 Corinthians 12:24-26, Colossians 3:12-15, Luke 6:27-31, John 17:22-23
Pledging Total Submission to One Head
Father we declare that it is a new day and no longer will Your church live as if we had no king, with everyone doing what seems right in their own eyes. You have made known to us the mystery of Your will according to Your good pleasure, which You purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment - to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. We declare this time has come and that there is One Head over Your body in the church of _______________ (name of your city), the church of _______________ (name of your province) and the church of Canada (or name of your nation). We declare that as One body in submission to one Head, we will not initiate for You God according to the dictates of human wisdom in our lives, our families, our churches, our cities, our provinces and our nation. But we will wait on You until You speak and once You speak, we will walk in obedience to all Your commands.
Lord we know that we can’Äôt play it safer than Jesus did. So like Jesus we embrace the cross and choose to die daily. We have been crucified with Christ nevertheless we live, but not we ourselves, but Christ lives in us. The life we live in our bodies, we live by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us. Whatever was to our profit we now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, we consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord, for whose sake we have lost all things. We consider them rubbish, that we may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of our own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. We want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Since, then, we have been raised with Christ, we set our hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. We set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. For we died, and our lives are now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, appears, then we also will appear with Him in glory.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary and subject to change, but what is unseen is eternal.
Judges 21:25, Ephesians 1:9-10, Ephesians 3:10-11, Galatians 2:20, Philippians 3:7-11, Colossians 3:1-4, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Declaring It is a New Day and His Lordship and Kingdom Coming to Our Nation
Father we declare this is a new day! You by Your own hand have delivered us and rolled away the reproach of the past season of bondages from our lives. You have circumcised our hearts and healed us and prepared us so that now as One Body under One Head, we can move forward into the Promised Land to claim every inheritance that You have for Your church. Your intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to Your eternal purpose which You accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Now as one body we declare we are Your witnesses and we speak into the spiritual realm over _______________ (name of your city), over _______________ (name of your province) and over Canada (or name of your country), that You are God. Yes, and from ancient of days, You are He. No one can deliver out of Your hand and when You act, who can reverse it? NO ONE!
Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives rescued from the fierce?
But this is what the LORD says: "YES! Captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with You, and Your children I will save. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am Your Savior, Your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
We speak to the spiritual gates over _______________ (name of your city), over _______________ (name of your province) and over Canada (or name of your nation) and we say:
Lift up Your heads, O You gates! Be lifted up, You ancient doors!
That the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle!
Lift up Your heads, O You gates; lift them up, You ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is He, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty-- He is the King of glory!
Ephesians 3:10-11, Isaiah 43:12-13, Isaiah 49:25, 27, Psalm 24:7-10
Final Sealing ’Äì Our Father
Lord we seal all that we have prayed and declared here tonight over _______________ (name of your city), over _______________ (name of your province) and over Canada (or name of your nation) in the Mighty Name of Jesus and we say that we can rest knowing that You are watching over Your word to perform it. What You have promised You will do.
As a final act of faith tonight, we pray even as Jesus taught us to pray.
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen!
