A Declaration of Spiritual Authority and Power

God raised us up with Christ and seated us in heavenly places with Him. He gave us spiritual power and authority to operate in His name and bring His kingdom to earth.
Scriptural Prayer:
Glorious Father, thank You for claiming us as Your children. As ambassadors of Christ, we thank You for the tremendous privilege of representing You here on earth! Thank You for equipping us through the Word and the Holy Spirit to walk in authority, wisdom, and power. Thank You for continuing to teach us who we are in and through You. Lord, as a Church Family, we come clapping our hands and shouting with joyful praise to You. Lord Most High, You are awesome. You are the great King of all the earth. Lord, You sit on Your holy throne, reigning above the nations. Lord, You are great and deserving of praise. O God, we will meditate on Your unfailing love as we worship in Your Temple. As Your name deserves, You will be praised to the ends of the earth. Your strong right hand is filled with victory.
Triumphant God, You gave the commandment that we are to be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and govern it and reign over it. As a Church Family, we declare that we will exercise the power and authority that Christ Jesus has given unto us. We will cast out demons in Your name, lay hands on the sick and they will recover, and declare the Good News to everyone. As the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus, we are bold as lions. We will walk in Your authority and manifest the Kingdom of God at work, at home, and everywhere. We will study Your Word continually and meditate on it day and night so that we will be careful to follow Your instructions. As we do this, we will prosper and succeed in all that we do. We confess that we will not be afraid or discouraged, but in all things and at all times, we will be strong and full of courage because we know that You, the Lord, our God will be with us wherever we go. Today, we confess that we are important to the plan of God! We are His ambassadors! We represent Jesus Christ to our families, our workplaces, and to our communities. We have been invested with royal powers through the Holy Spirit, including the name of Jesus and the authority of His blood, so that we can call upon heaven to assist us at any given moment! All angelic powers and all the vast resources stored in the treasury of heaven are available for our use when we are representing Jesus to this world! We declare this by faith, in Jesus’ name!
What are some areas in which you can wield your spiritual power and authority?
Holy Spirit, we ask You to help each of us to see and truly perceive all that You have made us to be as ambassadors of Christ in this world! Help each of us to understand our position in The Kingdom. Remind us when we feel inferior, that we are joint heirs with Christ Jesus. Heal the self esteem of those who can’t picture themselves as victorious and remind them that You, Holy Spirit, are within them, and You are greater than any spirit in this world. Lord, help us all to increase in our God confidence. Reveal to each of us those mindsets, habits, and behaviors that contradict who we are in You and Your Kingdom. Show each of us how to exercise Kingdom authority in our individual service assignments here at Windsor Village, the marketplace, and the world.
Merciful Father, forgive those who deny the existence or power of the Holy Spirit. Forgive us for not completely yielding control of our lives to the Holy Spirit. Father, please forgive me for the times I have overlooked the honor of being a child of God. I am sorry for the moments when I’ve been negative about myself, talked badly about myself, and did not acknowledge who You have made me to be in Jesus Christ. Forgive those of us for shrinking back from the mandate that has been given to us to rule and reign. Forgive us for trying to accomplish supernatural things while operating in our flesh. Holy Spirit, remind us of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive.
Holy Spirit, help us, as a Church Family, not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one.
Almighty God, the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it all belong to You. You are the God of gods and Lord of lords. You are the great God, the mighty and awesome God who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. You alone are worthy of praise because You alone perform such great miracles. In the majestic name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, amen!
