THE LORD GOD IS MY STRENGTH; HE WILL MAKE MY FEET LIKE DEER'S FEET, AND HE WILL MAKE ME WALK ON HIGH HILLS. HABAKKUK 3:19

"THE LORD IS THERE"

Oh, to study the Word that is Alive, (the breathe of God) and the Joy of knowing the Holy Spirit is right beside you giving supernatural understanding of each word, there's nothing that can compare. One can not just read through it and say, "I have read through the entirety of the Bible". You miss out on the benefits if you don't diligently seek what God wants you to Spiritually see, feel and hear through His Holy Spirit as you read. If you don't expect something but reading, that is what you will get. If you pray for revelation as you read and ask that your spiritual eyes be opened to what God wants you to see and your spiritual ears to ear what God wants you to hear, that is what you will get. This week my Bible study with the "One Year Chronological Bible" has been in Ezekiel. Also reading the study bible, "The New Spirit Filled Life Bible" (TNSFLB) shines more light on the meaning of Ezekiel 40:1-48:35. These scriptures tell of the new temple and the order of worship for Israel. Most importantly they conclude with the name of the city, Yahweh Shammah, "THE LORD IS THERE". This is the key for understanding this whole vision of Ezekiel, which is paralleled by Rev. 21:1-22:15. The meaning of the name of the city, Yahweh Shammah, "THE LORD IS THERE", is significant. The vision of Ezekiel 40-48 reveals to the prophet a picture of a restoration of not just the people spiritually, but of a restored land with its center in the temple of God. The vision assured the prophet that one day God would again dwell with humanity and be worshiped in the spirit and truth (see John 4:23). (TNSFLB) THE WALK OF FAITH - As New Testament believers, we have two exciting and uniquely wonderful opportunities. The first is to look forward in faith to the heavenly temple. From it flows the river of God, whose waters bring life and healing to everything they touch. The second is to understand that we can walk in the river of God now. We have within us the Holy Spirit and God's resurrection power. The Lord desires to use us as instruments of healing to the nations to extend His healing to everything we touch. (TNSFLB) "The New Spirit Filled Life Bible" has a TRUTH-IN-ACTION at the end of each Book of the Bible which takes you into a more depth study of high points of each book, Old and New Testament. The high points of Ezekiel 40:1-48:35 are below: In faith, look forward to this heavenly temple, representing God's eternal dwelling place with His people. Walk into the river...We are to walk increasingly deeper in the Holy Spirit, releasing ourselves entirely to Him. Ask the Lord to take you deeper in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Receive the Holy Spirit's fullness in your life today. Understand that "the river" in these verses can represent the outpouring and blessing of the Holy Spirit given by Jesus to His church (John 7:37-39). Allow the living water of God's Spirit to touch you and flow out of you. I will bring healing and abundant fruitfulness (Rev. 22:1-5). (TNSFLB) I would like to refer you to Germaine Copeland's Prayers.org, where you can find an abundance of prayers to help you build up your "FAITH" with the Word of God with each season of your life.

Spiritual Warfare in the Heavenlies

JESUS CAME TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL

Declaration


Jesus spoiled principalities and powers, destroyed the power of death, and destroyed the works of the Devil. Since I am a representative of the Son of God, I am to destroy the works of the Devil on earth. I shall bruise the head of the Serpent, I have power over all the power of the enemy, and no weapon that is formed against me shall prosper. With the help of the Lord Jesus Christ, I make a vow to God to do as much damage to the Kingdom of Satan as I can do as long as I live.


Scripture

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Gen. 3:15).

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord (Isa. 54:17).

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).

But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils (Luke 11:22).

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it (Col. 2:15).

For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the Devil (Heb. 2:14).

He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil (I John 3:8).


BY THIS I OVERCOME THE DEVIL

Declaration

My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed and sanctified by the Blood of Jesus. My members, the parts of my body, are instruments of righteousness, yielded to God for His Service and for His Glory. The Devil has no place in me, no power over me, no unsettled claims against me. All has been settled by the Blood of Jesus. I overcome Satan by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony, and I love not my life unto the death. My body is for the Lord and the Lord is for my body.

King James Bible

1. Through the Blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the Devil (Eph. 1:7).

2. Through the Blood of Jesus, all my sins are forgiven (Psa. 107:2).

3. The Blood of Jesus, God's Son, continually cleanses me from all sin (1 John. 1:7).

4. Through the Blood of Jesus, I am justified, made righteous, just as if I'd never sinned (Rom. 5:9).

5. Through the Blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God (Heb. 13:12).

6. My body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, by the Blood of Jesus (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

7. Satan has no place in, no power over me, through the Blood of Jesus and The Word of God (Rev. 12:11).

Amplified Bible


1. In Him (Jesus) we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor.Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence) (Eph. 1:7-8).

2. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered from the hand of the adversary (Psa. 107:2).

3. But if we (really) are living and walking in the Light, as He (Himself) is in the Light, we have (true, unbroken fellowship with one another), and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt (keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations) (1John. 1:7).

4. Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more (certain is it that) we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God (Rom. 5:9).

5. Therefore, Jesus also suffered and died outside the (city's) gate in order that He might purify and consecrate (sanctify) the people through (the shedding of) His own blood and set them apart as holy (for God) (Heb. 13:12).

6. Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received (as a Gift) from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price (purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own). So then, honor (your) God and bring glory to Him in your body (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

7. And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the Blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death (holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing) (Rev. 12:11).


IT IS WRITTEN / IT IS FINISHED / ADVANCE GOD'S KINGDOM


Declaration

Seated in heavenly places, far above evil, having power over the enemy, we bind and cast down the demonic chain of command: Might, Thrones, Nobles, Kings and Princes over Kingdoms, Principalities, Dominions and Powers, Generals, Rulers, Captains, Centurions and Strongmen, Rulers of Darkness of this World and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places.

We send legions of waring angels to attack. We loose the powers of God to do a mighty battle. We bind every force of evil and loose every force of good that we have the power and authority to do so. We break curses, vexes, hexes, spells and demonic ties.

We use every verse in the Holy Bible that wars against the demonic forces. We bind and loose spirits. We command civil war in Satan's Kingdom. We loose the Love of God, Price that Jesus Paid, Holy Spirit, Word of God, Blood of Jesus and Cross of Jesus against the forces of evil. All these things we do in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Master and Savior, and for the Holy Trinity.


In the Midst of the Battle
- Personalize Commands.

- Cast out demons of infirmity spirits, and drug and medicine spirits.

- Cast out infirmity spirits of pneumonia, heart attack, fluid in the lungs.

- God sets the battle plan.

- We have authority to pull down the stronghold.

- We should pull down strongholds and bind and loose.

- We should continue the spiritual warfare until victory comes. Be prepared to wrestle with the enemy. Keep your faith. Remain steadfast in prayer and spiritual warfare.

- Our strength in the Lord is derived through spiritual exercises: daily prayer and Bible study, fasting, fellowship with other believers, praise, worship, our testimony and walking in holiness.

- We must forgive everyone no matter what they did to us.

Scripture

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Eph. 1:21).

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:6).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph. 6:12)

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).
