INTERCESSORS FOR NATIONS (IFN)

  Prayer Focus December 2022:

THE GLORIOUS CHURCH ---LIVING IN HOLINESS



Dear IFN Family,


God wants His children to be holy just as He is holy.


1 PETER 1:15-1615 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”  

In this month's Prayer Focus, let us pray and decree that the Church of Jesus Christ will be holy as God is holy, 

... that all of God's children will always do God's will at all times, and not their own will.

 

Therefore, let us pray as follows:


 

A. THE LORD'S PRAYER Expanded 

(MATTHEW 6:9-13; LUKE 11:2-4; LEVITICUS 26:40; JOSHUA 3:5; ROMANS 12:1)

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.


We consecrate our lives to You this day for You glory and use.


In Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.

 



B. THANKSGIVING & PRAISE


1. Abba Father, we thank You that Jesus is building His Church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.

... Jesus is preparing the Church as a glorious bride for Himself, a Church that is holy just as You are holy,

... etc. 

(MATTHEW 16:18; EPHESIANS 5:25-27 NKJ; 1 PETER 1:15-16)

MATTHEW 16:1818 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.  
EPHESIANS 5:25-27 NKJ25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify [ sanctify >> make her holy] and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.  
1 PETER 1:15-1615 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”  

2. We thank You that as we have prayed the Lord's Prayer, and as You have answered us instantly,

... Your Kingdom has come into this earth, as it is in heaven,

... and Your will is established on this earth, in all nations and in my nation, as it is in heaven.


... And through our prayers and decrees, and through our witness, 

... Your Church will receive Your grace to always do Your will at all times, 

... in all areas of life, 

... so that we fulfil our calling to be a holy nation, a royal priesthood,

... so that we are holy just as You are holy,

... etc.

(MATTHEW 6:10; MARK 11:24; LUKE 22:42; 1 PETER 2:9)

MATTHEW 6:1010 Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
MARK 11:24 ESV24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.  
[>> Our prayers are answered instantly]
LUKE 22:4242 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done.” 
1 PETER 2:99 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. 


3. Abba Father, we thank You that You have made each one of Your children a priest and a king,

... to rule and reign with Jesus on this earth today,

... bringing our prayers and petitions before You as a priest,

... making our decrees as a king,

... so that when You answer our prayers and perform our decrees, Your rule and Your Kingdom is established on this earth,

... and Your children all walk in holiness, just as You are holy, 

... etc.

(REVELATION 5:10 NKJ; MARK 11:23-24 ESV)

REVELATION 5:10 NKJ10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.
MARK 11:23-24 ESV23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 
[>> Our decrees are performed by God]
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.  
[>> Our prayers are answered instantly]


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, in all nations, as it is in heaven,

... by standing in the gap and repenting of the sins of all men on earth,

... and by praying for and decreeing blessings over all men,

... etc. 

(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.
[Stand in the gap >> Repent of the sins of the land]
[Build up the wall >> Pray for and decree blessings over the land]
[Wall >> Salvation, blessings; Isaiah 60:18]

REVELATION 12:11 GNT11 They won the victory over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the truth which they proclaimed; and they were willing to give up their lives and die. 
[By the blood of the Lamb >> Repent of the sins of the land, >> so that the blood of Jesus washes them away, >> so that the works of the devil are nullified]

[By the truth which they proclaim >> Pray for and decree blessings over the land] 

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,

... etc.

(2 CHRONICLES 7:14; JOHN 20:23 KJV; JOHN 14:30-31)


2 CHRONICLES 7:1414 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. JOHN 20:23 KJV23  Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. 
JOHN 14:30-3130 I will not say much more to you, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no hold over me, 31 but he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me. 



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 our lives, as it is in heaven,

... and we fulfil Your calling to live a life of holiness,

... etc.

(MARK 11:23-24; MATTHEW 6:12)

MARK 11:24 ESV24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 
MARK 11:23 ESV23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. MATTHEW 6:1212 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.


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,

... etc.

(ISAIAH 14:27; PROVERBS 19:21; 21:30)




ISAIAH 14:27 NIV, ASV

27 For Yehovah of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?



PROVERBS 19:21 NIV, ASV21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is Yehovah’s purpose that prevails. 

PROVERBS 21:3030 There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against Yehovah. 

 

   


C. PRAYER OF REPENTANCE ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE IN ALL NATIONS ON EARTH, IN AND OUTSIDE THE CHURCH



1. Abba Father, we acknowledge that in everyone in all nations on this earth,

... including my nation,

... that it is our sins and the sins of our forefathers,

... that have given the devil the legal right to bring death and destruction to the people in all families in this world,

... etc.

(JOHN 10:10; EPHESIANS 4:26-27; REVELATION 3:1-22; DANIEL 9:8; NEHEMIAH 1:6; LEVITICUS 26:40)



2. We acknowledge that

... all our sins and the sins of our forefathers, all the way back to Adam,

... have destroyed the lives of many people and families and their descendants, and nations,

... causing untold suffering, misery, and desolation to them,

... etc.

(ISAIAH 1:23; 3:14-15; 5:22-23; 10:1-2)



3. We acknowledge that

... all these sins have brought curses to everyone in all nations,

... to every family in all nations,

... and to our siblings,

... and to our descendants,

... etc.

(EXODUS 20:5; DEUTERONOMY 28:15-68)


4. We therefore right now confess to You,

... all the sins of everyone in all nations on this earth,

... all our own sins and the sins of our forefathers,

... all the way back to Adam,

... etc.

(2 CHRONICLES 7:14; LEVITICUS 26:40; NEHEMIAH 1:6; DANIEL 9:8)


5. Forgive us for our sin of racism,

... cursing and condemning people of another race,

... instead of loving our neighbours as ourselves,

... not acknowledging that everyone on this earth is made in Your image and is precious to You,

... not believing that You love all men and have sent Your only Son to die for the sins of all men,

... etc.

(MATTHEW 22:39; GENESIS 9:6; JOHN 3:16)


6. Forgive us and our forefathers for cursing Your Ancient People,

... for despising them, for hating them, persecuting them, murdering them,

... for speaking evil about them, instead of praying for them and blessing them,

... for teaching others the false "Replacement Theology"---that Your plans for them has been replaced by Your plans for the believers in Jesus,

... thereby bringing upon ourselves and our descendants, Your ordained curses, in all nations on this earth,

... etc.

(GENESIS 12:1-3; ISAIAH 44:7)




7. Forgive us for all our sins of idolatry,

... worshipping demons and false gods and false teachers, and dead ancestors,

... making pacts and covenants with them to receive their power and blessings for us and our descendants,

... making vows on our own behalf and on behalf of our descendants to serve these false gods and demons and false teachers and dead ancestors forever.

... We renounce all such covenants that had been made between the devil and ourselves and our forefathers,

... through these false gods and demons and false teachers and dead ancestors,

... in all nations on this earth,

... etc.

(EXODUS 20:3; GALATIANS 5:20)


8. Forgive us for our sins of idolatry,

... worshipping creation instead of the one true God, Yehovah, the Maker of heaven and earth,

... worshipping the sun, moon and stars, and rocks and trees, and animals of all kinds,


... following the ideologies of man instead of the ways of God in our government and personal way of life,

... including ideologies such as communism, socialism, evolution,

... humanism, atheism, polytheism,

... satanism, freemasonry, traditions,

... "special knowledge" that contradicts God's word,

... teachings of false messiahs, etc.,


... and using oppression and compulsion and deception to force others to follow these ungodly ideologies,

... and not allowing them to make their own choice concerning their beliefs,

... etc.

(ROMANS 1:22-23; COLOSSIANS 2:8; 1 TIMOTHY 6:20)


9. Forgive us for our sins of idolatry,

... when we treat money and possessions as our gods.

... making them more important than You,

... putting the seeking of wealth and possessions as our first priority in life,

... instead of seeking first Your Kingdom;

... not being willing to use our wealth and possession as You have taught us in Your word,

... and when You have directed us to do so by Your Spirit,

... thus causing great darkness to enter into our lives, instead of Your wisdom and revelation,

... which in turn leads to great tragedy and calamities for ourselves and our children,

... etc.

(MATTHEW 6:24; 1 TIMOTHY 6:10; MATTHEW 6:23 NIV MARGIN)




10. Forgive us for our sins of idolatry,

... when we love people more than we love You,

... people including our spouse, our parents, our children, our relatives, and others,

... using them as excuses not to obey the commands of Your word and not to follow Your Spirit,

... etc.

(MATTHEW 10:37; LUKE 18:29-30; DEUTERONOMY 13:6-8)


11. Forgive us for our sins of using witchcraft

... reading tarot cards and horoscopes, 

... practising palm-reading, feng-shui, reflexology, yoga, martial arts, tai-chi, chi-gong, etc.

... drinking charmed water, drinking holy water from temples,

... keeping temple objects in our homes,

... consulting mediums and witchdoctors,


... keeping furniture and souvenirs, books and videos, pictures and photographs, clothes and jewellery, stamps and red packets, coins and currency notes, and dolls and decorative objects, etc., with occult images and symbols and occult connections;

... keeping charms and talismans for blessings,

... putting curses on others in order to destroy them by invoking the names of demons;

... dedicating our marriage and family members to demons for special blessings,

... doing demonic dances and exercises, and singing demonic songs,

... and taking part in demonic rituals and celebrations,

... etc.

(GALATIANS 5:20; REVELATION 21:8)

12. Forgive us for our sins of misusing Your name, the name of Yehovah, the Maker of heaven and earth,

... or the name of Your Son Jesus,

... using Your name or the name Jesus as a swear word,

... cursing You and blaming You for all the calamities in this world,

... forgetting Your name,

... concealing Your name,

... suppressing Your name,

D. DECREES OF HOLINESS OVER THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST

(MATTHEW 6:10; MARK 11:24)

In Jesus' name, we declare and decree that ..... 


1. Jesus is building His Church, and the gates of Hades cannot prevail against it.

... Jesus is preparing the Church as a glorious bride for Himself,

... a bride without blemish or sin, but walking in perfect holiness, just as our Father God is holy,

... for without holiness, no one can see God's glory,

... without holiness, the Church will not be able build God's Kingdom on earth,

... because sin brings death and destruction to all men, and to God's people,

... etc.

(MATTHEW 16:18; EPHESIANS 5:25-27 NKJ; 1 PETER 1:15-16; HEBREWS 12:14; ROMANS 6:23)

MATTHEW 16:1818 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.  
EPHESIANS 5:25-27 NKJ25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify [ sanctify >> make her holy] and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.  
1 PETER 1:15-1615 But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”  
HEBREWS 12:1414 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. 
ROMANS 6:23a23a For the wages of sin is death. 


2. Because God has answered us instantly when we prayed the Lord's Prayer, 

... therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is in God's Church, 

... and heaven is in every believer, in his home, and in his family,

... and God's will is done in His Church as it is in heaven, 

... and everyone fears God, and always does what is right and good, and just and pleasing in the eyes of God, as it is in heaven,

... etc.

PSALM 128:1 NIV, ASV1 Blessed are all who fear Yehovah, who walk in obedience to Him. 

3. Because heaven is in every believer, 

... and God's will is done in their lives on earth, as it is in heaven, 

... therefore, God has given great grace to all of His children, 

... to love God with all their heart, and to love their neighbours as themselves, as it is in heaven,

... with all believers always walking in humility, in repentance, in meekness, and in hunger after righteousness,

... always showing mercy to others, always keeping their hearts pure, always living as peacemakers, and always rejoicing under persecution, 

... etc.

(MATTHEW22:37--39; MATTHEW 5:3-12)
MATTHEW 22:37-3937 Jesus declared, “ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."
MATTHEW 5:3-123 “Blessed are the poor in spirit [>> humble], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 Blessed are those who mourn [>> who repent], for they will be comforted.5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.


4. Because heaven is in every believer, 

... and God's will is done in their lives on earth, as it is in heaven,

... therefore, they all serve God willingly, cheerfully, wholeheartedly, faithfully and zealously,

... etc. 

(2 CORINTHIANS 9:7; LUKE 10:27a; MATTHEW 25:21;  REVELATION 3:19 NKJ)
 2 CORINTHIANS 9:77 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  
LUKE 10:27a27a He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind."
MATTHEW 25:2121 His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’ 
REVELATION 3:19 NKJ19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 

5. Because heaven is in every believer, 

... and God's will is done in their lives on earth, as it is in heaven,

... therefore, they always love one another as Jesus has loved us.

... They forgive one another, pray for one another, encourage one another,

... help one another, bless one another, honour one another, 

... serve one another, accept one another, build up one another,

... until we become mature like Jesus, prepared as a glorious bride for Jesus, 

... without blemish or stain or sin, 

... but walking in perfect love, unity and holiness, 

... so that the world will see and know that we are true sons and daughters of the Living God, 

... true disciples of Jesus,

... etc.

(JOHN 13:34; EPHESIANS 4:32; JAMES 5:16a; HEBREWS 10:25;  GALATIANS 6:2; ROMANS 12:10; GALATIANS 5:13; ROMANS 15:7; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11; EPHESIANS 4:11-12; 5:25-27 NKJ; MATTHEW 5:44-45a; JOHN 13:35)


JOHN 13:3434 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 

EPHESIANS 4:3232 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. 

JAMES 5:16a 16a Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. 

HEBREWS 10:2525 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 

GALATIANS 6:22 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 

1 PETER 3:99 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 

ROMANS 12:1010 Be devoted to one another in love. Honour one another above yourselves.    
GALATIANS 5:1313 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 

ROMANS 15:77 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 

1 THESSALONIANS 5:1111 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 

EPHESIANS 4:11-1211 So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature.

EPHESIANS 5:25-27 NKJ25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.  

MATTHEW 5:44-45a44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.

JOHN 13:3535 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” 

 

6. Because heaven is in every believer, 

... and God's will is done in their lives on earth, as it is in heaven,

... therefore, every believer follows the leading of the Holy Spirit in all that they say, do or think.

... They enter constantly into the throne-room of God to worship God, 

... and talk to Him,

... and to behold His glory and the glory of His Son, 

... so that they are transformed from glory to glory into the likeness of Jesus,

... etc.

(JOHN 16:13; GALATIANS 5:25; PSALM 95:6 NKJ,ASV; ISAIAH 40:31 NKJ, ASV; JOHN 17:24 NKJ; 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18)

GALATIANS 5:2525 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.  

PSALM 95:6 NKJ, ASV6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Yehovah our Maker. 

ISAIAH 40:31 NKJ, ASV31 But those who wait on Yehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. 

JOHN 17:24 NKJ24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world."

2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 NKJ18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 

7. Because heaven is in every believer, 

... and God's will is done in their lives on earth, as it is in heaven,

... as they wait upon God in His throne-room, 

... and meditate on His word,

... they received from God His faith, 

... His revelation concerning all things, 

... and the good works He has prepared in advance for each of us to do,

... and they receive the grace and strength to do these good works,

... so that we are able to build God's Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven,

... so that we fulfil God's calling and destiny upon each of our lives individually, 

... and upon the Church corporately,

... etc.

(REVELATION 3:18; EPHESIANS 2:10)



REVELATION 3:18

18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich [gold >> faith]; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness [white clothes >> good works]; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see [salve >> revelation]. 
EPHESIANS 2:1010 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. 

8. As God's children love one another, 

... they will be patient with one another and be kind to one another;

... they will not be envious of what another has;

... they will not boast about their abilities and possessions, but give glory to God;

... they will not be proud and keep themselves aloof from others, but will always gather with all their brothers and sisters, 

... including those of low position;


... they will not dishonour another believer by gossip or slander; but will solve all disputes using Matthew 18:15-17; 

... they do not seek only their own interests but also the interests of others;

... they are not easily angered or offended;

... they do not bring up the past wrongs of others, but will forget the former things;

... they will not delight in evil reports about one another, or participate in lies and slander and gossip,

... but will always rejoice with the truth and speak the truth in love;


... They will protect the reputation of one another, and cover over a multitude of sins, 

... by forgiving one another and forgetting the wrong done to them;

... They always trust one another, hope in the goodness of God for one another, and persevere in their love for one another,

... and never giving up on one another, because love never fails,

... etc.

(1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8a; PHILIPPIANS 2:4 NKJ; ROMANS 12:16; ISAIAH 43:18; 1 PETER 4:8)


1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-8a4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8a Love never fails. 

PHILIPPIANS 2:44 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 

ROMANS 12:1616 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

ISAIAH 43:1818 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 
1 PETER 4:88 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 
 

9. Because heaven is in every believer, 

... and God's will is done in their lives on earth, as it is in heaven,

... all of God's children submit to their leaders and obey them.


... All the leaders faithfully keep watch over the flock, 

... teaching them God's word, correcting their errors, warning them of sin and destruction, and proclaiming God's blessings for all who repent, 

... doing this with great joy and great patience,

... and not with groaning or grumbling,

.. etc.

(HEBREWS 13:17; 2 TIMOTHY 3:16; 2 TIMOTHY 4:2)

HEBREWS 13:17 ESV17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. 
2 TIMOTHY 3:1616 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. 
2 TIMOTHY 4:22 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 


10. Yehovah our God is a faithful, covenant-keeping, promise-keeping God.... Therefore, He will do what we have decreed and declared, according to His promises,... as we make our decrees in accordance with His will in heaven.... To Him be glory forever and ever.(MARK 11:23; MATTHEW 16:19 NAS, NIV MARGIN)           

MARK 11:23 ESV23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 
[what he says >> what he decrees and declares]
MATTHEW 16:19 NAS, NIV MARGIN19 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. 

[keys of heaven 

>> revelation of God's will from heaven]


[bind and loose 

>> make decrees; 

>> permit or prohibit; Wikipedia]


ROMANS 11:3636 For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen. 

Amen and Amen.

 


E.  PRAY & SING IN TONGUES AFTER YOU HAVE DECREED GOD'S BLESSINGS OVER THE CHURCH

 


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.


1 CORINTHIANS 14:22 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter MYSTERIES by the Spirit.

 


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. 

F. PRAISE AND THANK GOD WHENEVER WE DECREE GOD'S BLESSINGS


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.
PSALM 103:20 ESV20 Bless Yehovah, O you His angels, you mighty ones who do His word, obeying the voice of His word!
