Dear IFN Family,
Jesus desires all His followers to enter into His throne-room all the time to behold His glory.
In this month's Prayer Focus, let us pray and decree that the Church will fulfil the desire of Jesus to constantly behold His glory.
In this way, we will be transformed from glory to glory into His likeness.
Therefore, let us pray as follows:
Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven---in every nation and in every person on this earth.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins, and the sins of our forefathers, as we also have forgiven those who sinned against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
In Jesus' name.
Amen and Amen.
1. Abba Father, we thank You that it is the desire of your Son,
... that all Your children enter constantly into your throne-room to behold His glory,
... so that we are transformed from glory to glory into His likeness.
(JOHN 17:24; 2 CORINTHINS 3:18)2. We thank You that as we are being transformed from glory to glory into the likeness of Jesus,
... we can shine forth Your light and glory to the people living in darkness around us,
... so that men will see our good works and praise Your holy name.
(ISAIAH 60:1; MATTHEW 5:16)3. Thank You that as we have prayed the Lord's prayer, and as You have answered us instantly,
... heaven is in our hearts,
... all our sins are forgiven,
... all our forefathers' sins are forgiven,
... and there is no more curse in our lives.
(MATTHEW 6:10; MARK 11:24; LUKE 17:21; LUKE 11:4; REVELATION 22:3a )4. Thank You that You have called us to be intercessors for all men in all nations,
... intercessors who can build Your Kingdom on this earth, in all men, as it is in heaven,
... by standing in the gap and repenting of the sins of all men on earth,
... and praying for and decreeing blessings over all men.
(EZEKIEL 22:30;REVELATION 12:11 GNT) EZEKIEL 22:3030 I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.5. Thank You that as we repent on behalf of any person on earth, You will forgive the sins of that person.
... In this way, the devil no longer has the legal right to destroy that person,
... just as the devil is unable to touch Jesus in any way because He fully obeys God's commands, and did not sin.
... and instead, You have the legal right to bless that person, according to our prayers and decrees.
(2 CHRONICLES 7:14; MATTHEW 6:10-12; JOHN 20:23 KJV; JOHN 14:31)6. We thank You that as we pray for all men on earth and decree Your blessings over them,
... You will answer our prayers instantly and do what we declare and decree.
... And as You do what we declare and decree, Your Kingdom is built in their lives, as it is in heaven.
... And all Your children will fulfil Your calling to carry Your glory and live in Your glory,
... prepared as a glorious bride for Jesus.
(MARK 11:23-24; MATTHEW 6:12; COLOSSIANS 1:22; ISAIAH 6:3)7. We thank You that when You do what we decree and declare over all men on this earth,
... no one can stop You from answering our prayers and decrees and stop You from blessing these people.
... No demon or man or witchdoctor can stop You when You answer our prayers, according to what we have decreed.

... declaring that You continue to discipline and judge all the wicked in this world, in the Church and outside the Church.
... In union with You, we receive Your feet of glowing bronze,
... Your authority and mandate to pray for and to release Your judgment on all the wicked in this world,
... on those who do not want to repent of their sins,
... in the Church and outside the Church,
... so that in Your perfect timing, You will suddenly strike such wicked men and their followers with intense suffering and death,
... so that Your churches will see Your judgment and know that You repay everyone according to their deeds.

1. When we pray and sing in tongues,
... we are praying according to God's good plans,
... according to God's perfect plans, God's hidden plans (= God's mysteries) for everyone around us.
2. When we pray and sing in tongues without ceasing,
... as Paul commanded and as Paul did,
... then God will work all things out for good for those who love Him.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 NKJ17 Pray without ceasing. 1 CORINTHIANS 14:1818 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all. ROMANS 8:26-2826 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
Whenever we praise and thank God as we make decrees of blessings,
... the angels of God are activated to bind the power of demons,
... in our lives, in our families, in our siblings, in our descendants, in the churches, in the nations, and in our land.
PSALM 149:6-96 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,[double-edged sword = decrees of God's blessings] 7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,8 to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron,9 to carry out the sentence written against them—this is the glory of all his faithful people.
