For I Know the Thoughts

Shalom Praying Friends,

Well the last week has certainly been a wild ride!  I believe without doubt that last week the Lord heard our prayers as we poured ourselves out before Him on behalf of our nation and challenged the plans of evil being acted out by the regime ruling the nation of Iran.  I believe war before its time has been averted through prayer and intercession of the saints.  Our prayers over several weeks have been for the people of Iran to be set free from the tyranny that has ruled for decades.  They have been stripped of hope and destiny by the demonic oppression and suppression and the persecution of the underground church which despite all the odds is exploding.   

The first thing that the fake news started projecting was that WWIII was imminent.  Celebrities freaked out and started blaming President Trump. People were hysterical as fear seized them.  Groans were released at the thought of bloodshed and more conflict. Many simply shut down.

BUT GOD!  His plans and thoughts towards us were and are for us to have peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Relentlessly the enemy’s plans are exactly the opposite. Witchcraft/satanic spirits that operate under cover of darkness through spells, hexes, curses and blood sacrifices work overtime to defeat the plans that YHWH has for us. The poison arrows that the enemy fires at our brains on a daily basis, coupled with demonic frequencies empowered by the prince of the power of the air, bombard our brains and alter our thought patterns.  The demonic frequencies transmit through the airwaves of radio and  television by means of certain types of music, fake news and shows of violence and perversion and much more. Perverse gaming on the internet releases mind blinding spirits that result in depression, anger and frustration, just to name a few.

What we take in through our senses of sight, hearing and smell can trigger traumatic memories, demonic thoughts and morbid fears and dread.  The power of suggestion in the media can never be underestimated. Including cartoons, fantasy and fairy tales.   I found that there were certain types of programs that were waaayyy too attractive that led my thoughts down the wrong path so I removed the temptation.

More than 10 years ago I gave away my television and I have never missed it. The unexpected benefit was a reduction in anxious thoughts and anger.   Once in a while, if I am traveling, I will turn on the hotel t.v. set and be startled at what is being played out before me. It actually seems alien to my spirit.  Is it then any wonder that people seem to be in a state of shock and stressed to the max who are immersed in the media all day long? There seems to be a theme from the Holy Spirit for the last several weeks that we are not to enter into despair but rather hold fast to the promises of His Word, that He has good plans for us.

The most important part, though, is that when we are under attack by mind blinding spirits, we must be able to discern between the enemy and what the word of God says about us. And we must actively rebuke the enemy on his own playing field and tell him to get lost.

Many years ago, led by the Holy Spirit, I began to pray according to the will and Word of God. I take the problem and then search out the scriptures that bring me the solution to the problem.  I have often said that every problem under the sun can be resolved by the Word of God to His saints.  His Holy Scriptures.  And that’s why the enemy is fighting so hard to overthrow that power of prayer. When I pray according to scripture, my prayers are answered at accelerated speed.
Last week at my church, we met every night to go to war against the enemy..  We prayed in the spirit. We declared the Word of God.  We sounded shofars. We released shouts. People who rarely receive prophetic revelation were marching and releasing visions and words of the Lord that played out days after in the news and media.  Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Prophets are declaring this new decade to be the Roaring 20’s. I am here to tell you that it is not business as usual and to get ready for a wild ride.  If you think you can sit back in front of the fire and just warm your toes and drink hot cider, you better ask for a new mind and transformed thoughts.  Gee just ask for a transformed mind anyway. Ask for the mind of Christ on a daily basis. Be determined, be mindful, set your face like a flint toward the Word and declare it!

The Holy Spirit has poured a lot into me to be prayed so let’s get to it. I am attaching the prayer guide again at the very bottom of the page in case you want to easily print it out for daily prayer.


Suggested Prayer Guide:

NUMBERS 10:9 When you arrive in your own land and go to war against your enemies who attack you, sound the alarm with the Shofars.  Then the Lord your God will remember you and His covenant with you. He will rescue You from your enemies.

Deuteronomy 20:1 When you go to war against your enemies, you may see horses, chariots, and armies larger than yours. Don’t be afraid of them, because Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out of Egypt, will be with you.

YHWH Tsabaoth, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, we come into agreement with Your Word.  Your Word is pure and true.  You are a God of Justice, a God of power and might, a God of knowledge and understanding, a God of love, mercy and compassion. Help America as a nation to fulfill our destiny.

We release a new sound into the atmosphere!  Your Word gives us instruction on the rules of spiritual warfare.  We heed Your instructions lest we become unnecessary casualties of war.

We put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that we may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil that attempts to overcome our minds with dread, fear and hopelessness. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places.

Ephesians 6:11-12 Amplified

We put on the breastplate of righteousness to protect our heart and our chest cavity. We gird our loins about with truth and put upon our feet the sandals of the Gospel of peace. We put on the helmet of salvation to renew our minds daily and hold up the shield of faith to thwart every fiery dart of the enemy. According to Judges 7:18, with the Word we release the sword of the Lord against the powers of hell in the name of Yeshua that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. 

We forbid any retaliation of the enemy against us in the name of Yeshua. We blind his vision through the pentagram and deafen his ears to our plans.   We cover ourselves, our families, homes, finances and  ministries in the Blood of Yeshua and we ask You to deliver our nation. 

In the name of Yeshua we bind the strongmen of witchcraft and Abbadon (destruction) over America that we may plunder the enemy’s camp. Mark 3:27. We renounce all pride that would open the door for destruction.  Proverb 16:18 We bind the prince of the power of the air and abolish demonic frequencies. We bind every scrambling spirit that would attempt to twist the words we pray. We tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt us. Luke 10:19   We nullify the power of any sacrifice made to devils in our cities, regions, or nation in the name of Jesus. Leviticus 17:7 We bind and rebuke Molech and any spirit that has been assigned to abort the destiny our nations America and Israel. Lev.18:21

We pull down Heaven with shouts of praise for the great I AM! Though kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, Your Throne withstands it all.  Your name YHWH is never changing.  Lion of Judah You roar like thunder, nothing can tame the All Powerful God.  Your name is unfailing and nothing escapes Your notice in our day to day for You’re watching over us, wanting good for us. We are called by Your name! We are marvelously created in Your Image!

Lord You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. We will  not lose our minds when they are fixed on You! 2Timothy 1:17 Father God we repent of every door we have opened that has given the enemy access to attack us in our body, mind and spirit. We repent for envy, lust of the eyes, pornography, licentiousness, deception, unbelief, hoarding and lack, fear, adultery in the mind and acted out, perversion, theft of ideas and possessions, rebellion, witchcraft, stubbornness which is idolatry, disobedience, cursing and negative speaking, mind pollution, taking You God for granted, confusion, double-mindedness. Acts 3:19

YHWH You have given unto us power to tread on serpents and scorpions and all the power of the enemy and promised that nothing shall by any means hurt us. Luke 10:19 Every poison arrow fired into my brain must die in Jesus name. Power of household wickedness upon my brain die. I reject every bewitchment.  I command my brain to wake up by the fire of the Lord.  Any power of the enemy calling evil upon my head be scattered in Jesus name and I fire back every poison arrow of witchcraft, back to the sender.  Every evil and unclean hand laid upon our heads when we were children, die.  Every demonic tongue prayed over us and negative words attached to us and our destiny, we sever it now by the sword of the Lord.

Genesis 1:27  We declare we are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God.  Every evil thought pattern and ungodly belief planted in our minds rejecting God’s image of us we reject in the name of Yeshua!

We declare that whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report; if there are any virtues and if there be any praise, we will think on these things. Philippians 4:8

Lord we repent for allowing our thoughts to dwell on wickedness.  Isaiah 55:7 To repent is to change our way of thinking.  O God help us change our way of thinking that we may be transformed by the power of Your Word.  Let us forsake our ways of wickedness and our unrighteous thoughts. We want to return unto You Lord.  Your word says You will have mercy on us and You will abundantly pardon us when we do so.

Proverbs 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to You Lord but the words of the pure are pleasant to You.  Lord forgive us of all evil thoughts. Every stronghold in our lives battling our destiny, we pull you down in the name of Jesus.  Lord anoint us for productive thinking, come upon our lives.  Confusion hear the Word of the Lord and bow.  Anointing for uncommon success fall upon our lives and every power assigned to hinder our breakthroughs rush into the Red Sea and die in Jesus name. We pronounce blessings and good things upon our lives.  Creative power of God fall upon our brains now and anything stolen from our brains as children, we repossess you now.

We declare that productive thinking is an elevator to success and our level of thinking will determine our level of success in life. We are arising to the level You have purposed for us! Creative power of God, arise and move us forward.  Anoint us to excel and incubate our lives now.  Anything planted in our lives to pull us down die in the name of Jesus.   Creative power of God arise and manifest in our lives. Every power aligned against our breakthroughs die. We shall overcome all our enemies! Witchcraft spirits assigned to swallow our breakthroughs, die. Hardened enemies of our destiny hear the word of the Lord and scatter!  Every power assigned to make us cry, you are a liar, die. Every power assigned to lock us up and lock us down, receive angelic resistance in Jesus name.

Psalm 25:13 Our souls shall dwell in ease and our seed shall inherit the earth.  Every power assigned to change our destinies to the worst, you are a liar, scatter. Every dark fear of our lives and dread of war, shift away in Jesus name.   Oh God arise and make a way for us where there is no way.  Holy Spirit of God send angelic bulldozers to clear all obstacles from our lives. Any power declaring that we will not make it and that we will fail, die. Father God catapult us to the next level of our breakthroughs. Tragedy shall not locate us. Every hidden enemy assigned against us die and every evil eye monitoring us for evil, be destroyed by fire in Jesus name.

Romans 12: 1-2 Father we present ourselves as living sacrifices to You, we die to our flesh, let them be holy and acceptable unto You Lord.  We will not be conformed to this world; but we will be transformed by the renewing of our minds through Your Word, that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of You God!  We saturate our minds with Your Word. We sanitize our minds with sanitizing prayers. Lord forgive us for every evil thought of offense, anger, bitterness and unforgiveness we have allowed to fester in our minds and thoughts. Every power using our thoughts against us bow in the name of Jesus.  

Father God because you are a creative miracle maker, we ask You to make miracles on our behalf in every situation, bad report from the doctor, financial crisis, stolen inheritance, physical limitation and enemy blockade. We are asking for miracles, signs and wonders.  We declare the lines must fall to us in pleasant places, we have a goodly heritage as heirs of God. Psalm 16:6  Lord convert every problem to a promotion. Convert every subtraction to an addition.  Change red ink to black ink. God show us the secrets of our problems. Show us the solutions to our problems. 

Ephesians 1:17-23 Glorious Father God of our Lord Yeshua, would You give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation as we come to know You better? Enlighten the eyes of our understanding that we may know what is the hope of Your calling, what are the riches of Your Glory of our inheritance as saints!  Show us the exceeding greatness of Your power towards us who believe according to the working of Your mighty power. You showed that to us when You rose Yeshua from the dead and seated Him at Your right side in heavenly places. And Lord as You put all things under Your feet and gave all things to Yeshua to be head over all things of the church, so we will be over every adverse thing that comes against us. We are the head and not the tail. We walk in victory.  Defeat is not an option in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 6 Lord we want to be spiritually mature. Change our hearts to be teachable and with a greater understanding of Your Word.  Your wisdom is so much higher than the wisdom of this present age under the rulers and leaders of this age, who are passing away;  1 Kings 3 We ask for the wisdom of Solomon in Jesus name.

Ezekiel 44:23-24  Lord we ask that we may be able to discern between clean and unclean.  We pray that those who are lost and cannot see the Way, Your Way, that blindness would be removed  from them.  We pray that the people of the world who are blind through deception would be healed, remove the scales from their eyes in Jesus name.

Malachi 3:17-18 Claim us as Yours God! Publicly recognize us and declare us to be Your possessions, Your special treasures.  Have compassion on us and spare us as a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then we will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve Him.

Revelation 3:18 Lord by Your Word You have counseled us to buy from You gold that has been heated red hot and refined by fire so that we may become truly rich; and white clothes [representing righteousness] to clothe ourselves so that the shame of our nakedness will not be seen; and healing salve to put on our eyes so that we may see. In Jesus name let it be so.

Again Lord God we thank You for answered prayer for our nation. We ask that Your hand of protection be upon our President Donald J. Trump.  That the Presidential angels assigned to him would provide the necessary assistance he needs to accomplish all you have created him to complete in his lifetime. Surround him with wise counsel and reveal to him the secret things he must know for what You have called him to do in Jesus name. Put eye salve upon his eyes in Yeshua’s name.  Psalm 91.

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem:  “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls,Prosperity within your palaces.”  For the sake of our brethren and companions, we will now say, “Peace be within you.” Because of the house of the Lord our God we will seek your good. Psalm 122:6-9 AMEN!
