1114 - Prayer of Authority
(JP Text Group - Yun Dan Feng Qing Compilation)
Brothers and sisters, peace in the Lord! The topic we share is Prayer of Authority.
Matthew 18:18-19:
Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Let us pray together:
Loving Heavenly Father, we thank and praise you. We are here to listen to your words together. At this moment, may the Holy Spirit guide each of our hearts. We believe that whoever seeks you will find you. Renew our thoughts and minds through the truth, so that we may use the authority you have given us in our lives. Bless every brother and sister. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray! Amen!
In Matthew 18, it tells us about a way of praying that Jesus often used: short and powerful, which I call the prayer of authority.
Many people pray, mostly asking the Heavenly Father to help us accomplish something. However, after reading the New Testament, I found that Jesus only asked the Father to do things in two places. The first is in John 17:
John 17:11-12
I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.
The second place: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
Apart from these, Jesus often prayed without using the word "ask." In most cases, He made declarations using His authority. This is a very short yet powerful way of praying. Of course, prayer is not limited to this way; there are many forms, such as praise, which is also a form of prayer, so use your mouth to declare God's goodness.
The four Gospels record many miracles performed by Jesus, but He never once said to the Father: "Lord, please grant me power, please have mercy on me." When Jesus faced a demon-possessed person, He simply said: "Unclean spirit, come out of this man." And it was done.
Mark 1:21-26
They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
This is the prayer of authority! Praying with authority, making declarations to the problems, and seeing how God accomplishes great things!
I want to explain what "prayer of authority" is. If there is a traffic police officer at an intersection, and he does not know his authority, when a car runs a red light, he would call headquarters and say, "There is a car that ran a red light, what should I do? Please help me!" How would headquarters respond? They would say, "Handle it yourself." If every time someone runs a red light, this person calls headquarters asking what to do, what would be the consequence? Someone might say he should go back for retraining to understand his authority.
God's children, if they do not know their authority, will be afraid and weak when faced with problems. At this time, they need to return to God's word, understand their authority, and use it, and the problems will be solved. God has given authority to His children. The scripture we just read mentions: Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.
What can we bind on earth? It is not binding a person, but the dark powers behind them, the forces of the devil. God has given you this authority; you only need to use your mouth to declare in the name of the Lord Jesus, and God will accomplish it in heaven. Declarations on earth affect actions in heaven.
When Jesus said to a demon-possessed person: Unclean spirit, come out of him. Our God in heaven binds that unclean spirit, and the unclean spirit has to come out of that person. Let’s look at a passage of scripture.
Mark 5:38-42
When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
At that time, the daughter of the synagogue leader had died, and when Jesus arrived, He said the child was not dead but asleep. The people around laughed at Jesus. But Jesus made a declaration of authority: Talitha koum! Meaning, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"
And it was done!
Have you noticed how similar the prayer of authority is to the scene when God created the heavens and the earth? God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light! God said, ‘Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.’ So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.
If we do not know the authority we possess, we will be weak and may even complain to the Lord, asking why He does not help us accomplish such things. In fact, God has been waiting for you, waiting for you to make declarations. What we release on earth, God will release in heaven.
Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
When Jesus sends us out to preach the gospel and to serve, He has already given us authority. His victorious authority is upon us. As long as we use it, we will see results!
When you see someone around you who is demon-possessed or sick, do not say, “Lord, please come and heal him.” We need to use the prayer of authority, commanding the demon to leave that person, never to return! In the name of the Lord Jesus, command that sickness to leave your body now! You are healthy!
This declaration must come from your mouth. Each of us, as God's children, has authority in our words. You notice that Jesus never spoke carelessly while on earth because His words would come to pass. If He spoke carelessly like some people do, the consequences would be severe! Many people say in summer, “I’m dying of heat!” In winter, they say, “I’m freezing to death!” When faced with a little trouble, they say, “I’m scared to death!”
If God were to act according to our words, there would probably be no one left on earth. You need to make correct declarations, speaking God's words, and God will be responsible for His promises. As long as we declare His words, God will accomplish them in heaven. When faith is declared with authority, your family and environment will change as a result.
In the Old Testament, Exodus 14 records an event where the Israelites, during their exodus, reached the edge of the Red Sea, with the Egyptian army behind them and no way forward, seemingly at a dead end in life. I believe at times we may encounter such situations. What should we do at that time? When the Israelites faced this situation, they complained to Moses. Family, remember that complaining will not solve problems; it will only make people weak and retreat.
Exodus 14:11-12
They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”
If a Christian does not recognize their authority, does not know how much the Father loves them, does not know that the Father has given them power, they will complain to God when faced with problems, even seeking out others to pray. When Moses saw this situation, he prayed to God, but at that moment, Moses was also growing and had not learned to use God's words and authority, so God personally taught Moses.
Exodus 14:15-16
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.”
In fact, God's intention is to say: I have given you authority, why are you crying out to me?
Moses held the staff, which represents authority. But Moses did not know how to use it and instead came to God to plead. When you accepted Jesus, God already gave you the Holy Spirit, who is the most powerful, able to see through all things, able to transcend all things. Just like Moses, as long as you stretch out the staff toward the Red Sea, the waters can be divided.
This is your authority! You need to pray with your authority. Do not doubt whether your prayers will work. You must believe that when you declare God's promises, God will accomplish what you say. You notice that when Moses was in Egypt, he stretched out the staff over the river, and the waters turned to blood. When Moses' mouth issued a command, God accomplished it for him. We learn a lot about the prayer of authority from Moses. Brothers and sisters, let your mouth make declarations of authority!
We share the first point: The prayer of authority is to issue commands using the authority given to us by God.
Since your mouth is to issue commands and rebuke the devil, you must first know what kind of authority you have. The authority that Jesus has, you also have. What kind of authority does Jesus have?
Philippians 2:8-11:
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
All authority that Jesus has, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, all of these must bow to our Lord, all submit to the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is above all names; when you declare in the name of Jesus, you are using the most powerful and authoritative name in the universe.
The Holy Spirit not only dwells in you, but you also possess the power of the Holy Spirit. Do not say to the Heavenly Father, “Lord, please help me; I am weak, I am pitiful, I am small.” The authority of God is already within you. Declare to your difficulties with faith, and you will see good results.
Mark 11:23-24,
Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
When we praise, we are praising God; when we ask, we are asking God. However, the Bible tells us that the prayer of authority is not speaking to God. The scripture says, “Anyone” can declare to this mountain (say). Remember, it is not asking God, but speaking to the mountain: You (your problem, difficulty) go throw yourself into the sea.
Brothers and sisters, at this time, it is not speaking to God but speaking to the mountain. When Jesus healed the paralytic, He did not plead with the Father but said to the man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” The prayer of authority is not speaking to God but speaking to your difficulties.
Brothers and sisters, in life, we will encounter difficulties. Use the prayer of authority to issue commands to your difficulties. At this time, do not plead with God; you need to face the mountain that is blocking you. Perhaps it is sickness; you can say to the sickness: You go away from me immediately, throw yourself into the sea. When you do not doubt in your heart and believe that the authority you speak comes from Jesus, God will accomplish it for you.
When you feel uneasy, you can lay hands on yourself and declare: “In the name of Jesus Christ, I command everything uncomfortable that disturbs me to leave immediately. In the name of Jesus, I am not negotiating with you; I am commanding you to leave me.”
When you feel uneasy, do not say, “Lord, please grant me peace.” In fact, God has already given you peace. Jesus said while on earth: “I have given you my peace. My peace is not like the peace the world gives; my peace is true peace!”
Brothers and sisters, do not negotiate with the devil; just tell him: “I am issuing a command in the name of my Lord Jesus, with no room for negotiation.” Just like we mentioned earlier about the traffic police officer, when someone runs a red light, he does not negotiate with that person but executes his authority. He will not say, “Ma’am, since you ran a red light, can we discuss something? Can I see your driver's license?” If he shows doubt and weakness, the wrongdoer will become aggressive and doubt his identity.
Do not let the devil deceive you; you are truly a child of God, and your words have authority. Just like the traffic police officer, when he stands at his post, he should be confident that what he says carries authority. The violator must submit to this authority. As soon as someone runs a red light, he has the authority to make that person stop. Once he speaks, it has an effect. People may ignore him, but after he notes the license plate number, he will come looking for them.
Brothers and sisters, when you issue a command to the devil, the one behind you, our Heavenly Father, will come after him. You do not need to worry about this; it is not your power that subdues him, but the power of our Lord. Just declare it! Command it to leave you.
Many people say when casting out demons, “Devil, hurry up and get out! If you don’t leave soon, I can’t take it anymore; I’m exhausted!” Why negotiate with him like that? Jesus never negotiated with the devil. When a person had two thousand demons, Jesus did not say, “There are so many demons; I can’t fight you. Hurry up and come out.”
Jesus said: “Come out!” When Jesus issued such a command, the demons were very afraid because they knew who stood behind Jesus; He is the God who reigns over all! When Jesus issued this command, our Heavenly Father accomplished it, so the demons begged Jesus: “Send us into the pigs.” Jesus agreed, saying, “Go.” If Jesus had not allowed it at that moment, those demons would not have been able to go.
When you declare with the authority of Jesus to the devil, the devil will be afraid and will leave your house immediately. Brothers and sisters, this is our authority. So, do not keep asking God, saying, “Lord, please help me, please heal me…” Think about what God said to Moses: “Why are you crying out to me? I have given you authority.”
In Mark 16, Jesus has already told us: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. And Jesus has given this authority to you. You need to tell yourself: Jesus has given me authority, given it to me. You need to put this word into your heart and speak to yourself every day: Jesus has given me all names and all authority in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. When I go out, I work with the power of Jesus, with the authority of Jesus. There is nothing to fear; the devil has already failed, having been defeated over two thousand years ago.
The authority of Jesus has overcome the world. When the disciples faced a storm on the Sea of Galilee, they were all very afraid, but Jesus stood up and did not plead with the Father; He simply said: “Be still! Be quiet!” When Jesus issued this declaration of authority, it was done.
Reflect on the past; how did brothers and sisters in the church pray for the sick? Many people would say, “Lord, please come and heal him, please help him, let him recover.”
All the brothers and sisters in the church know that when we lay hands on the sick and pray, I never plead in prayer. We use the prayer of authority to declare: In the name of Jesus Christ, by the stripes that Jesus received, you are healed now! Sickness, leave him immediately, right now, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Many brothers and sisters have received complete healing under such short prayers. Therefore, you should also use your authority to pray for yourself and your family. Make declarations to your difficulties, and God will accomplish your prayers. Thank the Lord!
Each of us has weak moments, such as bad tempers, negative thoughts, physical illnesses, etc. In the past, you may have pleaded with God, saying, “Lord, please heal my illness, please help me, let my body recover.” If that method does not work, I suggest you use the prayer of authority. In the name of Jesus Christ, let the pain inside me leave me; this sickness cannot remain in me because the Holy Spirit is here. You need to say to your sickness: In the name of the Lord Jesus, leave me! I am healthy! I am loved by our Lord.
If a church does not recognize its authority, it will lack power and will not have a testimony. If a Christian does not recognize their authority, they will be deceived by the devil. In life, we will certainly encounter some problems, like mountains blocking us, like storms. But do not be afraid, because our foundation is in Jesus Christ; nothing can defeat our Lord. No one is greater than our God; God has accomplished all things. Thank the Lord! On your spiritual journey, you need to declare in the name of Jesus Christ, using your authority to command it to leave you. This is the authority God has given you. When your mouth issues commands, God will accomplish it. This is something we must understand.
I tell you this because I hope that what I know, you can also know. This is the heart of our Heavenly Father. Those who believe in Jesus Christ, you are already in the kingdom of heaven, but our bodies are still on earth, which means we will have weaknesses and failures. But God's intention is for us to be victorious Christians.
In the Bible, Lot was a failing Christian, while Abraham was a victorious Christian. After we understand God's heart, we can become victorious Christians. I wish every brother and sister could live a victorious life every day. When you get up in the morning, you should declare to yourself. I do not know if you have heard such teachings.
In recent years, I have been telling brothers and sisters in my sermons that you should declare to your children every day. You should declare to yourself every day. When you get up in the morning, you should say to yourself: My body is healthy, my heart is joyful, today is a day of grace, God has blessed me, my children are healthy, my family is healthy, everything I do today is blessed by God. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Such prayers will prevent the devil from invading your body, and he will not be able to deceive you. The more you are convinced, the more the devil will be afraid. The more you doubt, the more the devil will be rampant. You need to recognize your authority.
Share the second point: The prayer of authority brings binding and release.
Brothers and sisters, do you know that the prayer of authority brings two kinds of power? The first is binding.
If your spouse always drinks, or if someone around you always uses foul language, why is that? Why can’t my husband believe in the Lord? I tell you, it is not because of him; it is because of the one behind him. Do not say, “In the name of Jesus Christ, bind my husband.” This is a wrong prayer. Such a prayer will make it very difficult for your husband to believe in the Lord. You have bound him; how can he believe? What you should say is: In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind every spirit on my husband. I bind it in the name of Jesus Christ.
Do not hate your husband. If he uses foul language toward you, do not hate him. It is not his will to say such things; he is being oppressed by the devil. Believers can be deceived by the devil but will not be possessed by demons. Only unbelievers can be possessed by demons. When you see an unbeliever possessed by demons, acting strangely, why do you not hate him? Because you know he is not normal; he is bound inside. However, the people around you, your family members, may not yet believe in the Lord and may oppose you, persecute you, and prevent you from believing in Jesus. This is not his doing; it is because there is a spirit inside him controlling him, and he cannot win against the devil. The devil may have no power, but he is a spirit.
What can truly change your husband is the word of God! You need to use the name of Jesus Christ to command the evil spirit behind him, the forces of the devil, to leave! Declare that it must go! We are not fighting with the devil; we are declaring that the devil is a loser who has already lost over two thousand years ago. Every time you encounter an attack from the devil, tell it that it is a loser. But remember! Do not say it in front of your husband, as he will feel you are talking about him. You can silently declare it in your heart or when no one is home!
Jesus once healed someone from a distance. A Gentile centurion's servant was about to die. Jesus did not go to the servant but simply said one word: Go back; your servant is healed. So you do not need to declare it in front of your husband; saying it like that will scare him. We need to pray with authority to bind the devil; the only thing we can bind is the devil.
Do not hate those who are oppressed by the devil. Once they are freed from the devil's bondage, they will change. Before we knew Jesus, we lived in the same way as the world. If you think this way, you will no longer hate your family, nor will you hate your husband, even if he treats you poorly. Because you know the Lord, but they do not yet know Him. This is not what he wants to do; it is the spirit inside him that is controlling him. As long as you resolve the spirit that binds him, and he accepts Jesus, his behavior will change. We have also changed in this way.
The prayer of authority brings release!
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.
When preaching the gospel, we need to use the power of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is with us, we have the wisdom and power to preach the gospel and make strong declarations.
To proclaim means to declare. God sent Jesus to declare freedom for the prisoners, recovery of sight for the blind, and freedom for the oppressed. This is exactly what Jesus did on earth.
Mark 7:32-35
There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him. After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened, and he began to speak plainly.
Jesus did not think this problem was too big; He simply said: Be opened! Do not focus on how difficult the problem is; that is not what we should be concerned about. You just need to use your authority to make declarations, believing that God can accomplish all things.
Acts 14:8-10
In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed, and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.
Not only did Jesus have such power, but Peter, Paul, and many of our spiritual predecessors also possessed such power. You must have no doubt about the words you speak. When you make a declaration about this matter, think about one thing: Even though you are on earth, when you make a declaration on earth, the Father in heaven accomplishes it for you. No matter how far apart you are, He can hear you immediately. He is waiting for you to release it on earth, and He will release it in heaven.
There was a sister who was nearly fifty years old and had suffered from a skin disease for over thirty years. She had large sores all over her body, from head to toe, and had been in great pain. She had seen many doctors with no results. The doctors said it was a type of eczema that could not be cured, continuously oozing pus. Wherever it flowed, the skin would start to develop sores, and her whole body became infected. This year, this sister came to our church, and at that time, we were talking about prayer. After hearing our prayer, she said, “Pastor, can you pray for me? I believe what you say will come to pass in me. I believe that after you pray for me, God will heal me immediately.”
I asked the brothers and sisters to pray for her. Actually, my way of praying was very simple. I just said, “Do not think about how many years you have been sick. Do not think about how difficult this illness is. I just declare in the name of the Lord Jesus, let your skin disease be healed immediately.” We said: “In the name of the Lord Jesus, declare that by the stripes that Jesus received, you are completely healed.” Do you know what happened? Within that week, her skin disease was completely healed. The following week, she came wearing a dress and short sleeves, crying when she saw me, crying uncontrollably.
She said, “I am not crying out of sadness. For many years, I have been praying before God, asking Him to let me wear a dress and go out, wanting to be like other women. Father, I want to wear a dress!” But after many years of asking, it had never been accomplished. Just under our declaration, the power of the devil was completely shattered, and her skin disease that had lasted over thirty years was completely healed.
Brothers and sisters, do you know the power of the prayer of authority now? Of course, it cannot be said that this is the only way to pray; there are other ways to pray. We can pray according to our own understanding. There are many prayers, such as thanking God, praising Him, praying in tongues, etc. All are powerful. I just want to tell you that when Jesus worked on earth, He most often used the prayer of authority. I am sharing this with you today, hoping that the brothers and sisters here will use this prayer of authority well and experience His wonders. Do not doubt the declarations that come from your mouth. Brothers and sisters, we use the power of Jesus Christ to bring release to people.
To set the oppressed free.
The oppressed may be bound by certain bad habits or possessed by demons, etc. It is almost impossible to break free by oneself.
There was a brother who had just come to faith. At that time, he was in Shenzhen. After going downstairs, he saw an old man sitting in a wheelchair. He prayed in tongues, and God moved him to go pray for the person in the wheelchair, laying hands on him and praying for healing. Later, I asked him, “How did you pray?” He said, “I just made a declaration in the name of Jesus Christ. At that time, I was very scared and did not know what my ability was. I did not know the person, so I ran over, said a few words in tongues, and declared in the name of Jesus Christ, then ran away.”
After a while, he saw the old man again, and he was actually walking by himself, no longer in the wheelchair. That was a prayer of declaration. I hope you can all use this way of praying well. The weak will become strong, and those oppressed by the devil will be released because where the Holy Spirit is, there is freedom! Amen!
When a person is bound by the devil, there is no freedom, but where the Spirit of Christ is, there is freedom. You need to use your hands to declare their freedom, declare their release, declare their healing. The healing ministry is a very important aspect. We need to know that this power comes from Jesus Christ. Do not forget that when you heal others, you must tell them that it is not my power, but the power of my Lord Christ.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. This declaration should start from your home, declaring that your family members are released; declaring that those around you are released; declaring that your business is blessed. When others say the economy is bad, you should declare that you are blessed. You do not look to the world for your supply but to the supply from heaven.
In our church, many people initially did not know how to use this way of praying. They asked, “Can this prayer be used in business?” Absolutely! A brother encountered a client, and there were two or three people competing for this client, while his price was higher than the others, and the products were similar. At that time, I told him to try making a declaration. The brother said: In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, let that boss call me and sign the order. What great faith this is! Generally, people would run to find the boss. After making such a declaration, the next day, the boss called him to come and sign the order. After signing, the boss said, “Actually, those other companies had lower prices than yours, but I just preferred yours.” Thank the Lord; this is the work of the Holy Spirit.
The prayer of authority is to issue declarations using the authority given to us by Christ. Declare Christ's victory, declare the blessings Christ has given us. We must truly understand what we have in Christ. We do not need to live like Lazarus. I want to apply God's words in life, becoming our most practical help. This not only builds us up but also builds up those around us.
3 John 1:2-4
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy to have some believers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
God hopes that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Here, God tells us that the degree of a person's prosperity in life is determined by the prosperity of their soul. When a person's soul prospers, their body will be healthy.
The spirit within us is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not need to be renewed. What needs to be renewed is our soul, which is our thoughts and intentions. When our minds are renewed according to God's words, prosperity will come upon us. Health will come upon us. May each of us brothers and sisters live out the victory of Christ, manifesting the goodness of Christ. Hallelujah!
Let us pray together:
Loving Heavenly Father, we thank and praise your grace. Thank you for giving us authority to become children of God. I believe the authority of Christ is upon me, and we can live in this world like Jesus, becoming a blessing to ourselves and those around us. I believe that in Christ, I am blessed, I am loved by God. I am a channel of blessings. Wherever I go, I will bring the victory of Christ.
I declare in the name of Jesus Christ that my body is healthy. By the stripes that Jesus received, I am healed, and I have received it now. I am a blessed person, and everything I do will see God's blessings. I expect good things to happen to me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray! Amen!
