Prayers and Decrees to Open the Heavens and Bring Revival

 

The word prayer is defined as a plea, petition, and request for something

from the sovereign God (John 14:6; Ephesians 4:30) that Christians have

access to through the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:6-

10).It is to intercede to plead our cause, or plead the cause of others, asking

God to intervene. Let me begin by clarifying that while this article and the

prayer points offer prayers of repentance, petitions, requests and targeted

declarations of faith; and, while I do make reference to dealing with

principalities over cities and other stubborn spirits, I do not suggest to anyone

to presume to directly attack a principality. That is not wisdom. I also never

advise people to 'go to war' in prayer without first doing some deep

cleansing prayers. This guards against the enemy's backlash and retaliation.

People can get attacked if they have open doors to the enemy. Please see

my Breakthrough Prayer under the pages section for a very thorough prayer

that helps shut doors to the enemy.


We can return God’s word to Him and believe in faith that He will

release the answers for our petitions in His timing. In biblical terminology, a

"declaration" is a message or a word that makes known what is already true

about something. The purpose of declarations is to make known the truth

about who God is and what He has done. Christians may use declarations to

make these truths known.

The term decree refers to a legally binding legal decision made by a legal

authority, such as a court of law, a head of state, or a governmental body.

As such, the decision has what is called "the force of law," and what is

decided becomes a command. If you recall, Queen Esther wrote an

authoritative announcement, signed in the king’s name and stamped with

the king’s signet ring. This indicated that Esther’s Decree carried the same

authoritative power as the king and was to be treated with the same respect.

This is an example of us being given “all authority” over the enemy. (Luke

10:19) This possession of knowledge as we find in Matthew 16:19 is what

gives us confidence towards making decrees. Jesus said, “I will give you the

keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in

heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” The fact

that it is in past tense reminds us that the work has already been done by

Jesus himself and we are simply coming into agreement with the truth and

reinforcing the laws of our homeland. “On earth as it has already been

decided in heaven.” The words “all authority” found in Luke 10:19 speaks of

delegated authority, being given jurisdiction and legal empowerment to act in

accordance with faith towards God’s revealed word. (See Exousia, #1849 in

the Strong’s Concordance). So, in reality, we are not making decrees

outside of the law or trying to create something in our own power or ability by

forcing our will into circumstances (which would be a form of manipulation

and witchcraft); but, we are agreeing with the heart of the Father and

speaking forth His word in the way that He would want His laws to be

enforced. Knowing the heart of the Father is vital to being able to make

honorable decrees that He will enforce, because God will not ever enforce

decrees that are spoken out of wrong motivation. His heart is a balance of

love, mercy, justice and equity, and he alone determines when and how

decrees, declarations and prayers come to pass.

Declarations and decrees are not intended to imply that we can somehow

manipulate God into doing what we demand, rather to partner in faith with

Him to declare what He has already spoken and believe that we can partner

with His word to ‘call those things that do not exist as though they do’

(Romans 4:17).


When the heavens are shut up, the principalities

in that area grow stronger. A principality becomes the authority over a

regionand its influence affects everything in the land. It brings a heaviness,

depression, oppression and creates a sense of hopelessness and

despair. People are subject to many bondages. Unbelief takes over,

and people curse their land because of all the problems. They release

word curses over themselves with all their negativity and complaints.

A root of bitterness grows in the hearts of the people. Crime rates soar.

Death rates increase, because people dwell in the valley of the

shadow of death. They don’t understand that all their false gods

jealously guard and enforce the agreements they have made with

them. Demonic forces of darkness lord over those covenants, and

without strategic prayers and decrees, those covenants remain to

keep people in captivity. Praying without a plan results in

discouragement and spiritual exhaustion in those that are interceding

for change.


Spiritual atmospheres affect communication, attitude, beliefs, health,

activities - absolutely everything. It is time to infiltrate the demonic

strongholds with the fire of God so that injustice loses its grip and the chains

of oppression are broken.



We need an open heaven because that is where revelation flows

from, and revelation is key to breakthrough.We cannot achieve

miracles, signs and wonders in our own strength. We must have

the Holy Spirit ministering to us and through us, and that comes

from first ministering to the Lord. An open heaven is available to

anyone that truly seeks the presence of the Lord, but on a corporate

level, if we want revival for others we must all commit to praying

the heavens open again. As intercessors, we can intercede for

others and repent on their behalf, which is known as identificational

repentance. Intercessors pray on behalf of others until they can

do it for themselves.


Our cities have been claimed by the devil but they belong to the Lord.
Leviticus 26:8 says that 5 can chase 100 and 100 of us can put 10,000 to

 flight, and our enemies will fall by sword. We need an army of prayer

 warriors in one accord to take authority together, as we come together in

 Jesus’ name. We have multiplied power as we pray in unity.

  
It’s our job to get the strongman out so that the Holy Spirit moves in.
An atmosphere that has been prayed over is more receptive to the

Holy Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is peace. It changes
the way people feel, so that they are more receptive to the Holy Spirit.

It’s up to us to invite and welcome the Holy Spirit to move in our cities
just like we would do in our local church. Remember, Jesus sees one

collective church in a city, and that includes people inside and outside
the local churches. WE ARE HIS CHURCH.

The following prayer is constructed by researching the causes for 

curses listed in Levitcus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. There are main 

categories and prayer points under each one that are scriptural 

causes for the heavens becoming "as brass." My suggestion is to 

gather in small groups with other intercessors and pray through 

them. Please share with other intercessors so that 

more people begin to pray strategically and release angels on 

assignment!

Here are some tips to pray smart and stay safe:

We need to ask the Holy Spirit to convict us of sin where we may not think

 we have sin. Sins of presumption, comparing ourselves to others, judgments

 and retaining offenses are so common, and we may not even consider that

 we actually have those things in our heart. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal your own

 blind spots and to connect the dots in your understanding so that you can

 see your faults the way God sees those things. If we don’t, we can still fail to

 turn and repent from things that hinder our healing. This is where we as

 God’s people have failed to turn from our wicked ways. Those are the things

 that leave open doors to the enemy’s backlash.

1. Pray for the peace of your city. Pray for the enemies of God to be crushed under His feet, according to Romans 16:20. 

2.Pray for unforgiveness and bitterness to be uprooted in individual lives. Declare that forgiveness, mercy and compassion abound.

3. Pray for the kingdom of God to manifest in your city on earth as it is in heaven.

4. Pray for people's needs to be met so that they would not feel tempted to resort to crime and illegal activity.

5. Pray for all leaders to submit to God’s authority and for them to have wisdom to govern the people under them. Declare all spiritual portals that have been opened to bring a curse are closed and the doors locked according to Isaiah 22:22. Declare the authority that governs with wisdom and protects the citizens of the city is established like a firm peg according to Isaiah 22:23.

6. Pray in tongues so that you know you are praying God’s will.

7. Praise and worship - establish a throne for Jesus to rule and reign in the midst of your enemies. Pursue the Lord and keep your eyes fixed on Him.

8. Use your authority within your area of influence to bind the enemy to the laws of God by declaring the Word.

9. Cleanse your home and your life of anything that could be used by the enemy to form an attachment to you or your family.

10. Pray the scriptures over the spirits of intimidation and rebellion, and stand in agreement with one another, pleading the blood of Jesus over every family and household within your sphere of influence.

11. Declare Jesus Christ is the shield and exceedingly great reward for every family and household within your sphere of influence.

12. Declare your neighborhood, family, and those in your city are the bride of Christ and belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ.


Prayer Strategy for Revival

Repentance Issues


Broken Covenants

  • Forgive us for profaning the name of our LORD and Savior and for blasphemous ways of perverting truth.
  • Father, we have allowed heresies and false teaching to infiltrate the church and bring destructive doctrines.
  • I declare that those people that have propagated destructive doctrine, leading people into rebellion and apostasy either repent or be removed immediately, as it is written in 2 Peter 2:1:
  • “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.” Let those who preach a different gospel repent immediately.
  • Forgive us for declaring that the cornerstone of our cities is laid upon anything other than the revelation of Jesus Christ.

  • I declare that every ungodly word spoken by those in covenant with the demonic realm and secret societies such as the Freemasons will have no influence in the geographic region for it is written in Jeremiah 51:26:
  • “They will not take from you even a stone for a corner nor a stone for foundations, but you will be desolate forever,” declares the LORD.”
  • I declare the cornerstone of our cities is laid upon the revelation of Jesus Christ, according to Ephesians 2:20-22, for it is written: “Having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the LORD, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.”
  • And, it is also written in Zechariah 4:7, ‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”
  • Father forgive us for breaking faith with you and believing the lie that makes us feel certain situations are impossible to change. Forgive us for complacency and not pursuing the things of God. Forgive those that have spoken out of unbelief and caused others to sin and break faith with you. You are not a man that You should lie, and I choose to believe that all things are possible with God.
  • Please forgive us for selling ourselves into bondage, making covenants or contracts that have forced us into slavery, bondage and service to others, whether it was done knowingly or unknowingly. Forgive us for making lies our refuge and for the false beliefs they created, where we dishonored You. I condemn and denounce any agreements that have been made with demonic spirits, and renounce all false masters in Jesus’ name.
  • I confess all the generations of my family have sinned. Forgive the iniquity in our bloodline. We have all gone astray and failed to keep all Your commandments. Forgive us for not honoring You as our Father. Please cover our sins with the blood of Jesus. I confess You, as my Lord and Savior and ask that You restore the covenant between our family and You, Father. In Jesus’ name.
  • Forgive us for neglecting to use our talents and abilities for the Kingdom of God, and for failing to recognize our responsibility to invest the gifts, talents and abilities so that they would bring increase for your kingdom.
  • Please forgive me and those in my family line for breaking the trust of others through broken covenants. Forgive us for creating fear, anger, resentment, jealousy and grief in others, and for the sorrow that our sins have caused. Forgive us that have treated others with a lack of integrity, for failing to keep our word and for causing others to be disappointed in us, in Jesus’ name.
Failure to Honor Parents

  • Father, I ask Your forgiveness for myself and others in my family line and in my city that have failed to honor and respect our parents. I haven’t always agreed with them, but Your word still commands me to show them honor. I admit, I don’t always know how to fulfill Your expectations, so please teach me to love them the way You want me to love them. I thank You for my parents who provided for my needs growing up.
  • Father, please forgive those that have a difficult time forgiving their parents for any hurt or breach of trust that occurred. Help them release  their parents from any grudges or resentment that resulted from neglect, abuse or injustice. Forgive them for holding onto their hurts instead of giving them to You, for speaking poorly about them and uncovering their sins and weaknesses to cover them in shame. Help their hearts to heal from rejection, abandonment, and fear that came in from any open doors from the enemy. Give them grace to forgive, in Jesus’ name.
  • Lord, Your word tells me to honor my parents. Help me, and others, find a genuine way to do that and to let them know that they are valued because they brought us into this world. Help our words and actions to be full of love and respect, believing that love can overcome any hardheartedness or broken relationship between us. Let love overcome everything the enemy meant for evil. 
  • Help us, Father, to show love and respect in all we do. Give me grace to give them the benefit of the doubt for misunderstandings, believing that in their own way they had good intentions. Help us only remember the good and not hold on to anything that can cause separation in our relationship.
  • In all the ways we as a people in this city have failed to honor them, please forgive us. I bless the parents of my city and I speak a blessing over my own parents. Please bless their health, their relationships, their finances and their home. Help me to be an encouragement to them. Bless them with wisdom, understanding, and a close personal relationship with you. Bless them with revelation, with hearts that are free, healed, full of peace and joy, in Jesus’ name. 

Idolatry

  • Let the influence of every secret society and every hidden influence of compromise be broken now, and let every person return to the ways of righteousness. For it is written in Romans 6:12-14: “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”

  • Forgive us for the shame and rejection we have embraced, for Your word tells us in Zephaniah 3:15, “The LORD has taken away His judgments against you, He has cleared away your enemies The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; You will fear disaster no more.”

  • And, in Zephaniah 3:17 it is written, “The LORD your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.”

  • Your Word also reminds us that You so loved the world that You gave Your only Son as a ransom for our lives, according to John 3:16.

  • Forgive me, my family and those in my city for attempting to build our own kingdoms, rather than Your kingdom. Forgive us for self rule and living by our own understanding, rather than seeking You for wisdom and understanding. On behalf of myself and others in my family line, please forgive our sin, transgression and iniquity.
  • On behalf of myself and those in my generational line, and those in my city, please forgive us for serving other gods and rebelling against You. Forgive us for mocking You. I renounce and forsake any vows, covenants, pledges, oaths and agreements made with man, idol, false spiritual leaders, and invoking the names of demonic spirits that have been done by me or my ancestors. Father, forgive us for shedding innocent blood, for committing abominations, and for rebellion towards You and others. I renounce all false religions, secret societies, their ceremonies, and all occult practices, including sacrifices in Jesus’ name.
  • I renounce all demonic spirits that have been invited into my life and I break all agreements with spirits of darkness. I command these spirits to leave me now and never return in Jesus’ name. I remove my family name from every evil altar and I cancel any spiritual or natural inheritances controlled by the demonic realm. I want no benefit from them and send them back where they came from in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, forgive me for allowing fear to manipulate my decisions. Forgive me for resorting to manipulation and control that end up resulting in self-rule, forcing my will onto others, which is witchcraft and idolatry. Please Holy Spirit, counsel me in truth and unravel the lies in my belief system so that I learn to trust You instead of trusting in myself. Forgive me for the sin of selfish ambition and attempting to set up idols of self-importance and self-sufficiency in my heart.
  • Forgive me for placing other things in a higher priority than You and making them idols. I’m sorry for doubting Your goodness and faithfulness towards me.

Lack of Generosity
  • Father, on behalf of myself and others in my generational line, and those in this city, please forgive us for poor stewardship, reckless spending, gambling, and other forms of misappropriation of finances. Forgive us for allowing materialism, greed, the love of money and the love of the world to create selfishness in our hearts.
  • Forgive us for times when we have had more than enough and we did not spend it wisely, and for times when we acted miserly or judgemental when You wanted us to sow a blessing.
  • Forgive us for having wrong motives and asking for things you could not bless. Forgive us for having an attitude of entitlement, thinking we were deserving of more when we had not proven our integrity with finances.
  • Forgive us for serving and sowing from an attitude of stinginess and legalism rather than having an attitude of generosity, grace and compassion.
  • Forgive us for hoarding and reluctance to sow what we have because we doubted your goodness towards us. Please replace the fear of lack and a poverty mindset with faith and the ability to have joy in my giving.
Mishandling of Business Practices
  • Father, on behalf of myself, those in my family and in this city, please forgive us for any dishonesty in our business practices that would be selfish gain at the expense of creating hardship for others. Help us make things right so that our businesses are blessed.
  • Forgive us for taking unlawful advantage over others, for covetousness, lust and unlawfully attempting to seize what belonged to others.
  • Forgive me, those in my generational line and citizens of this city for taking a bribe, being a party to injustice and robbing others of what rightfully belongs to them.

  • Forgive me for contributing to the sins and weaknesses of others through the offering of goods and services that tempt others to wander off the road of righteousness.
Stumbling Blocks and Social Injustice
  • Father, forgive me, my ancestors and those in my city for areas where we have misled others and caused them to stumble and struggle with sin.
  • Forgive us for doing things in secret that resulted in injustice towards others. Forgive us for plotting mischief or evil towards others.

Put a guard against our lips, cleanse our hearts of wrong motives, and purify our speech so that it pleases You.
  • Forgive us for bearing false witness and causing others to see individuals through the lens of false judgment, thereby depriving people of a blessing, justice, promotions, and open doors to new opportunities.

  • Father, please forgive me, my ancestors and others in this city for harboring grudges, resentment and unforgiveness towards others.
  • Forgive us for tempting others to partake in the sin of evil speaking, gossip, and slandering the reputations of others, and speaking carelessly without considering how it would affect others.
  • Forgive us for not taking responsibility for our feelings and justifying unforgiveness. Forgive us for delaying our obedience and continuing to sit as a judge over others. Forgive us for keeping a record of wrongs when You do not treat us that way. I apologize, Lord. You alone are the just judge of all mankind. 
  • Forgive me for holding unforgiveness and self hatred toward myself.I choose to forgive myself and let go of regret. I choose to stop punishing myself.
  • I choose to forgive those that have hurt, disappointed or offended me. I ask You to bless them in every way You want them blessed.

  • Forgive us for dishonesty and selfishness, using others for gratification without considering the emotional impact on others. Forgive us for creating brokenness in others and for betraying their trust.
  • Forgive us for how our actions have affected the relationships and marriages of others, by creating jealousy, distrust and a ripple effect of other broken relationships.

Decrees to Release Breakthrough, Revival and Reconciliation

I declare the Lord Jesus Christ is Master over all corrupt systems and structures , for it is written, “The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." It is also written,"That all the people of the earth may know that there is one God, and there is none else,” according to 1 Kings 8:60 and Is. 46:9. And it is also written, O God, that You commanded us to worship and serve only You, in Exodus 20:3. Hear our plea for help, Lord! I call on the name of the Lord to destroy the works of evil so that Christ may be glorified in the earth. Give us favor on land and sea, in the airwaves, and throughout heaven and earth. Let the spirit of liberty be released to deliver the captives.
 In the name and authority of Jesus Christ I ask You Father to release Your heavenly hosts to bind principalities and powers, demonic rulers and princes and those that they have empowered to carry out evil agendas, to remove all obstructions to prayer over this geographic region, this state, and our nation, and render them powerless, paralyzed, impotent and silent, to enforce the victory Jesus has already won.
Let the power of Holy Spirit, full of forgiveness, mercy, love, grace and humility be loosed over this region and our nation. Pour yourself out on all flesh as You said that you would in Joel 2:28 and Acts 2:17. Father, let Your Holy Spirit convict people of sin and draw them to the Lord Jesus Christ. Reveal Jesus to them and compel them to be saved. For it is written in Isaiah 29:18 and Isaiah 35:5, that the eyes of the blind shall see and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. I declare the lame shall leap like a deer, the tongue of the mute shall shout for joy, and rivers of water will break forth in the wilderness. 
 I ask You to send your warring angels to combat the spirits of Witchcraft and Control over  Economic Systems and any other “structures and systems” designed to oppress and control your people. Let your angels deal with those spirits now in the name and authority of Jesus Christ. I pray for all those in positions of authority, that they feel convicted of sin so they can repent. May they be blessed with wisdom and an understanding heart to know how to govern your people, to have hearts full of compassion, and a desire to serve your people with righteousness, truth and equity for all. I pray they would all come to the knowledge of truth and be saved, in Jesus name.
Father, I ask You to deliver people out of idolatry, lust, rebellion, corruption, pride, and the power of witchcraft and control that are in these systems. Strengthen those who are being tempted, tried and sifted by the enemy so that they are able to resist doing his will. Give them a change of heart, for it is written in Proverbs 21:1 that You hold the heart of kings in Your hand; like a stream of water, you turn it wherever you will. Arrange the circumstances for their deliverance so that their will aligns with Yours, and pour out conviction that leads them to genuine godly sorrow and repentance, in Jesus name.
 
  Father, I declare mercy with justice for those bound by sin. Cut the cords of their sin and deliver them. Let a spirit of liberty be released to free those caught in the snares of the enemy. Show them the way of escape, and put it in their hearts to cry out to You. Let them call on the name of Jesus and be saved. I ask that mercy triumphs over judgment, but let those that have hardened their hearts against you, those that will never repent and turn to You, be held accountable for their actions and taken into captivity. According to Your word in Revelation 13:10, those who lead others into captivity must be led into captivity themselves. 
Let the spirits of pride, rebellion and chaos be bound by Your hand. May the idolatrous god of Baal be defeated in this nation. Release angelic assistance to overturn and overthrow that which is ungodly and evil. May all false gods be deprived of their sacrifices in Jesus' name.
Come like a mighty rushing wind and breath on your people, O God! Let all obstructions on earth and in the heavenlies be removed in Jesus name. Let all evil armor bearers that protect the ungodly, perpetuate injustice and oppression, and stand in the way of justice be removed now. Send help from the sanctuaries of heaven and earth. Let the arm of the wicked be broken, according to Ps. 10:15 . Let Your divine order be established now, in the heavenlies and in the earthly realm, in the name and authority of Jesus Christ. 
 Let the sword of the Lord draw these demonic spirits to come near so that they may  be cut down and destroyed, in Jesus name.
It is written that You have punished Leviathan with your fierce, great, powerful sword according to Isaiah 27:1, and you have killed the dragon of the sea.
I declare You have broken the heads of the monsters in the waters, according to what is written in Psalm 74:13.
 I declare that according to Psalm 89:23 that You have crushed Your foes and you have stricken down our enemies. Also according to Psalm 18:40, you have given us the necks of our enemies and their heads (authority) have been removed from them in Jesus name.
 Let the power of the wicked be broken, according to Psalm 37:17.
I declare it is written in Ezekiel 38:4 that the Lord says: "I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army, your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with great and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. And again in Isaiah 37:29 it is written, "Because you rage against Me and because your insolence has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth and I will make you return by the way you came," says the Lord. It is also written in Isaiah 43:17 that You drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, extinguished, never to rise again." 
Awake, awake, O arm of the Lord and put on Your strength! Awake as in days of old, the generations of long ago, when you destroyed Rahab and pierced the dragon! Let the unclean spirits from the mouths of false prophets be silenced. Let the breath of the dragon be taken out of his mouth. Let his fire be extinguished, in Jesus name.For it is written in Ezekiel 32:2, "You consider yourself a lion to the nations, but you are like a dragon in the seas; you burst forth in your rivers, trouble the waters with your feet, and foul their rivers. BUT THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS: 
"With a great throng of people I will cast My net over you;
and they will haul you up in My net.
I will throw you on the land and hurl you in an open field.
I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you
and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you.
I will spread your flesh on the mountains
and the ravines will be filled with your flesh."
 It is written in Psalm 74:14 that You break the heads of Leviathan in pieces and give him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. It is also written in Numbers 14:9 that we should “not fear the people of the land for their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us.” Your word promises that these giants are to become prey for us. Father, these are Your children the enemy has purposed to destroy. It is written in Isaiah 49:25 where You affirmed that “captives would be taken from warriors and plunder retrieved from the fierce; You said that You would contend with those that contend with us, and our children You would save.”
 I declare it is written in John 16:11 that the ruler of this world has been judged, and in John 12:31 it is written that the ruler of this world shall be cast out. According to Your word, let the demonic spirits be cast out of these systems now in Jesus name. It is also written in 1 John 2:13, 14 that we have overcome the evil one, and as overcomers in Christ I ask You to remove the evil one’s power, position and influence from structures and systems where the enemy has had control in Jesus name.
I remind You, Lord Jesus, that You said in John 14:13, 14 that whatever I ask in Your name, You will do it, so that Your Father in heaven is glorified through the Son. You repeated this promise twice, therefore I am asking for you to fulfill these promises. The greatest thing we can do is to pray out of concern for others. Hear my prayer O God, and send Your answers quickly, I pray! The right of inheritance of the earth belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ and children of the Most High God. For it is written and You commanded us to “Be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth and subdue it,” according to Genesis 1:28.  
 I declare the enemy's ability to increase, spread out or circulate lies and propaganda is cut off in the name and authority of Jesus Christ.
I declare according to Your word in Psalm 63:11 that the mouth of those that speak lies has stopped. 
declare You have released Your weapons of destruction into the enemy’s

blind spots according to Psalm 2:9, where You have broken the power of

the enemy with a rod of iron and dashed the works of wickedness to

pieces like a potter’s vessel. 

I declare You have attacked the spirits that do iniquity, speak falsehood, 

and act in a bloodthirsty manner, according to Psalm 5:6.

I declare the enemy’s plans are defeated and his wicked servants have 

fallen by their own counsel according to Psalm 5:10.

I declare the Lord has struck the enemy in his blind spot according to 

1 Kings 1:9 because of forsaking the Lord God and worshipping and serving

other gods.

I declare a release of the arrows of the Lord into the enemy’s blind 

spot, where his terror comes like a storm and the enemy’s destruction 

comes like a whirlwind according to Proverbs 1:27.

I declare the posterity of Ahab and his house is cut off according to 

1 Kings 20:20-21 because of those that have sold themselves to do evil in 

the sight of the Lord.

I declare a lying spirit has gone out to deceive those in the enemy’s camp;  

to persuade those that do evil, and conspire against the servants of the

Lord and the citizens of this city, state and nation, and prevail against them 

to bring disaster according to 2 Kings 22:21-23.

I declare according to 1 Kings 22:34 the arrow of the Lord has struck the 

enemy in his vulnerable place, between his joints of armor.

I declare the spirit of Jezebel is defeated and cast down according to 

2 Kings 9:33.

I declare the authority of ungodly leaders influenced by and loyal to the 

spirits of Ahab and Jezebel are removed from position and their authority 

cut off according to 2 Kings 10:7-8.

I declare the false prophets of this day are cut off and removed from their 

positions. I declare the pillars in the house of Baal that hold the structure in 

place are pulled down and crushed by the power of God according to 2 

Kings 10:26-28.

According to Genesis 12:1 and again in Exodus 6: 2-8 You have said
Father, that this land is our inheritance and You do not lie. I ask You to give Your people this nation and other nations as our inheritance, in Jesus name.
I thank You, Lord Jesus, that You are my shield and great reward. I thank You for your covenant that provides protection and covering on the day of battle. I thank You that Your word promises me that “no weapon forged against me shall prosper,” and every lie shall be refuted according to Is. 54:17. I also claim the promises in Psalm 91 for me and my family. Hide us under the shadow of Your wings, Lord. Let the enemy be blind and unable to see us in Jesus name. I ask You to watch over Your word to perform it without delay.
Father let Your angels be dispatched to carry out this word, to dismantle evil authority structures, and to give Your people their inheritance. Let a spirit of faith and liberty be released over this land, and may the ears of the lost be opened to hear and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let the breath of God raise people up again and stand them up on their feet. Let the fires of revival burn in their hearts and renew their love for You! Release the Spirit of Courage and the roar of the Lion of Judah! Help us to stand with You, O God! I ask you to take note of the threats of those that oppose Your servants; grant your bond-servants to speak Your word with all boldness, that we may speak Your word with confidence.
Extend Your hand to heal, and let signs and wonders take place through Your Holy servant Jesus Christ. I ask You for an abundance of notable miracles, signs and wonders that give Your people victory. I thank You, Father, Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit, for hearing my petition and granting my request. I love you and I thank You for helping us secure victory after victory, that your name may be glorified in the earth. I declare this is established now in the name and authority of Jesus Christ.

A Declaration of Blessing


Father,


I declare blessing on everyone in this geographic region.  Send this 

word out and let Your angels fulfill the administration of this blessing.


I declare a release from the things that bring bondage, stress, and 

worry.  Let there be a release from the things that deplete people’s 

strength, steal their time and bring them into spiritual slavery.  I release 

the Spirit of the Lord to break them free from all constraints, ungodly 

yokes and covenants.  I loose them from the things that have had 

them shackled and bound.


I declare we are breaking new ground.  I declare this is the year of 

the pioneers to break forth and lead the way.  I declare this is the year 

for shifting and restructuring to make room for the release of the 

Kingdom of God.  Let your kingdom come and your will be done on 

earth as it is in heaven O God!


I declare restoration for the losses of previous years.  Let angels be 

released to administer justice and restitution on behalf of Your people.  

“Let all that was theirs and all rightful proceeds be restored to Your 

people now, in Jesus name.”  The thief is caught. In the name and 

authority of the Lord Jesus Christ I command the thief to repay every 

loss at no less than a 7-fold return according to Proverbs 6:31.


I decree over the people in this region supernatural cancellation of 

debt, as it is written in Deuteronomy 15:1,2.  Let there be forgiveness 

of debts, both in the natural and in the spiritual as the Lord’s remission 

has been proclaimed. Let the requirements of those we are indebted to 

be reduced in Jesus’ name. Let the requirements of things that would 

prevent us from walking into new doors of opportunity be supernaturally

 reduced, making it possible fornus to obtain the blessings You have for 

us.


I declare the accuser who divides must be cast down according to 

Revelation 12:10.  I declare the God of peace has crushed the enemy 

under Your feet, and ours.  Let there be a sudden turnaround in 

relationships that have been fractured, divided and estranged.  Let 

families be made whole in Jesus' name.  I declare healing to the family

 trees.  I declare God’s family tree in the body of Christ is healed.  I 

declare that we are trees of healing to the nations in Jesus name.


Father, let the tangible results of Your glory manifest in each person’s 

life.  Pour out Your blessings upon Your people.  I ask You to please 

give them things they have not had to work for.  I ask You to shift things

 around in such a way as to cause Your people to receive things they 

couldn’t possibly imagine.  Bless them exceedingly, abundantly above 

all they could ask or think according to Ephesians 3:20.


Give them divine appointments and open doors into places they 

couldn’t get to without Your intervention, according to Revelation 3:8 

and Isaiah 22:22.  Let Your favor do for them the things they cannot 

do for themselves.  You are God Almighty; You can do anything! I ask 

You to open Your hand and release the blessings of Your storehouses 

to Your people and I thank You for hearing me. In Jesus name, amen.
