Dear IFN Family,
God has decreed that His Kingdom will overcome all other kingdoms in this world and grows to fill the whole earth in these last days.
(DANIEL 2:34,-35, 44-45)And the people of His Kingdom, comprising the Church of Jesus Christ, will shine forth the love and power and presence of God as a glorious Church.
(EPHESIANS 5:27 KJV)As we pray in agreement with God's word and plans, and declare that it is done, God will do what we say and decree.
(MATTHEW 16:19 NAS; MARK 11:23)For this month's Prayer Focus, let us therefore pray and decree according to the desires of God's heart to have a glorious Church.
God will have a Church that is filled with the fullness of His presence, the fullness of His power, the fullness of His love, on this earth today.
Therefore, let us pray and decree 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, 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 Your glory and use.
In Jesus' name.
Amen and Amen.

(MATTHEW 5:7; ISAIAH 1:15; 58:6-7; JAMES 1:27; 1 JOHN 3:17)21. In our walk in keeping our heart pure,

... and we always follow the commands of Jesus in Matthew 5:23-24 and in Matthew 18:15-17 to settle a dispute with a brother or sister in the Church,
... and we love our neighbours as ourselves, and pray for them, thus maintaining peace in the land,
... and we do not stir up rebellion against the leadership in our families, or workplace, or churches, or in our nation,

... we the children of God rejoice in God when we are persecuted for righteousness sake,
... believing that God is working out all things for our good in our lives, in our families, in our churches, and in our nation,
... believing that God has the power to fulfil all that we have asked for in prayer,
... according to what God has promised us in His word;
... speaking words of faith and joy in our conversation, in social media, and in our families and churches,
... and not grumbling and complaining against our leaders and others, in the Church and outside the Church,
... or cursing them.
... Instead, we will stand in the gap on behalf of the land, and repent of the sins of everyone in the land, and bless them in our prayers,
... and always rejoice in all circumstances.

... but instead we all receive from God the grace to forget the past and never to bring them up again,
... and we also forgive and bless all those who have disappointed us and harmed us or our forefathers,
... believing that God is doing a new and good thing in our lives today,
... etc.
(ISAIAH 43:18-19; TITUS 2:11-12)25. Because we have prayed the Lord's prayer, and God has answered instantly,

... the Church of God is filled with His glory and His goodness,
... and with every blessing from heaven.
... As we the children of God seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, everything we need is added unto us.

... as we have repented of all sins and the sins of idolatry and witchcraft,
... and have removed all objects of idolatry and witchcraft from our homes,
... and as we have repented of the sin of pulling down demonic strongholds, principalities and powers in the nations.
... All believers know their authority to cast out demons from one another and from themselves, and nothing can harm them.

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 CORINTHIANS 14:2
2 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 NKJ
17 Pray without ceasing.
1 CORINTHIANS 14:18
18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all.
ROMANS 8:26-28
26 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, and in our land.
PSALM 149:6-9
6 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 ESV
20 Bless Yehovah, O you His angels, you mighty ones who do His word, obeying the voice of His word!
Shalom
