Love God more than you love anything else. Love Him with all of your heart, mind, and strength.

Don't make anything in your life more important than God. Always keep Him first in everything you think, say, and do.

Always say God's name and Jesus's name with love and respect.

Take time to honor God by having a day of rest each week.

Love, respect, and honor your mother and father.

Speak these out loud. Insert your name where you can to make these blessings personal.

I am created for blessings. As a result, I am fruitful in every good thing and multiply and increase in blessings. Because my God has blessed me, no curse can touch me. In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of His blood, I decree His covenant of blessings around my life and all that pertains to me.

Here is an example of how to insert your name into Scripture.

Pastor Bill is created for blessings. As a result, Pastor Bill is fruitful in every good thing, and I multiply and increase in blessings. Because my God has blessed me, no curse can touch me. In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of His blood, I decree His covenant of blessings around my life and all that pertains to me. Nothing but blessing can come into my life or sphere of influence. If the enemy attempts to attack me, he will be caught in the act and pay sevenfold for everything he has ever stolen from me, and then I will plunder his house, for I only accept God's blessings.

Blessings come upon me and overtake me. Blessings are attracted to me. I am a blessing magnet. I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I'm blessed in the city and I'm blessed in the field. The heavens are open over my life, and the reign of God's abundant goodness falls on my life; all that pertains to me is a blessing. God withholds no good thing from me. I'm blessed in everything I put my hands to.

My God blesses me continuously and causes His face to shine upon me. He is gracious unto me and grants me peace.

In Christ Jesus, I am favored by my heavenly Father. The favor He has given His Son has been given to me. This is undeserved, unmerited favor that is granted to me in Christ. His favor is a free gift to me, for which I am very thankful. As Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men, so also do I because I abide in Jesus, and He abides in me.

By Pastor Bill McCombes

Jesus said that you must be born again. This new birth is a supernatural spiritual event.

John 3:3: "Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

So, how does one become born again? Seeking Him with all your heart and asking Jesus to come into your heart and be Lord of your life.

Once you are born again, salvation, or the saving of the soul, which is a process, begins.

Hebrews 10:38, 39 states: "Now the just shall live by faith: that if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we're not of them that drawback unto perdition: but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”  ‘Saving’ the soul is a process.

What is the soul? It is generally accepted to be a person's mind, will, and emotions.

III John verse 2: "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers."

How does one "prosper their soul." What is the process related to "… Of them that believe in the saving of the soul."

If we do not understand these fundamental truths and the processes involved, we will live in a continual state of flux: up and down, in and out, sinning, repenting, living a holy life, sinning again, repenting again, and never realizing or experiencing the true overcoming life of a Believer in Jesus Christ.

One of the most significant aspects of living a mature Christian life is to prosper our soul.

WHAT TO WE DO? We must first take care of the sin issues caused by the sins of others, our sins, and the traumas we experienced. The blood of Jesus, through repentance and forgiveness, and His grace set us free from sin.

Sin causes wounds to our souls. We can use several tools to heal the wounds within our souls. The renewing of our mind and restoring our soul are aspects of this. The central focus is the presence of Jesus, His glory, His light, His love, and His Being, which brings truth, wholeness, and healing into the places of our souls that have been wounded by sin and trauma.

Consider the following three key points.

First, you must repent of the sin associated with the wound. The blood of Jesus, forgiveness, and releasing offenses of self and others are part of this process.

John 20:23: "Whosoever sins you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosoever sins you retain, they are retained."

When a person comes to the Lord, repents of their sin, and receives Jesus as Lord of their life, an incredible transformation happens. The guilt, shame, condemnation, rejection, and other aspects of the old self are done away with by the blood of Jesus, and the person feels like an incredibly new person.

However, three or four months after this incredible experience, people often find themselves falling back into their old habits and sin patterns. Returning back to old habits and sins is because they have not healed the wounds in their soul caused by ‘these’ sins.

The second step is to apply the glory and the light of Jesus Christ. This is done by intensely focusing on Jesus, on the Lord, and seeking His truth, His life, and His love to become so real in those areas where your soul was wounded. An analogy of this in the Old Testament is when they raised the serpent upon the pole for the Israelites to look at when a snake bit them. This is a type of foreshadowing of Jesus being on the cross. However, we must look beyond the death on the cross to the resurrection. The resurrection life and light of Jesus bring healing to your soul.

This aspect of the process, calling on and focusing on the light and the glory of Jesus, requires intense focus on Him. The key to this part of the process is to seek Him, stay focused on Him, and cry out to Him.

We often do not know how to apply the Christian "buzzwords" in our everyday walk with the Lord. 'Press in' brother/sister. I'm 'soaking' in the Lord. 'Receive' from the Lord. 'Seek' Him, brother/sister. The best way I can describe it is "focusing" with all your heart, "thinking" about Him with all your mind, "exercising" all your strength and passionately desiring to press into His love, His life, and His presence.

You will have a supernatural experience when the light and glory of Jesus explode into that place in your soul and bring healing to that wound. You will know that you know.

Once the wound is healed, the demonic influence will have no legal right or access to that part of your soul.

Step three. Command the demonic to leave in the authority of Jesus Christ, and you will be free from that demonic influence over that area of your soul.

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 1:2)

Once you begin to believe it is God's will to prosper you, you can't help but wonder how He will do it. Is He going to put a check in the mail? Or start floating $20 bills down from the trees?

No. He's going to do it by prospering your soul. He will plant the seeds of prosperity in your mind, will, and emotions, and as they grow, they'll produce a great financial harvest.

Go to the book of Genesis and read the story of Joseph. It's a perfect demonstration of what I'm talking about.

When Joseph was sold as a slave to the Egyptians, he didn't have a dime to his name. He didn't even have his freedom. He was sold as a slave. But, right in the middle of his slavery, God gave Joseph such wisdom and ability that Joseph made his owner prosper. As a result, the man put Joseph in charge of all his possessions.

Later, Joseph was put in prison. There's not much opportunity for advancement in prison, is there? But God gave him insight that no other man in Egypt had. That insight landed him a position on Pharaoh's staff, not as a slave but as the most honored man in the country next to Pharaoh himself.

He rode along in a chariot, and people bowed before him. During a worldwide famine, Joseph was in charge of all the food. Now that's prosperity!

How did God accomplish all that? By prospering Joseph's soul. No matter how dismal his situation became or how impossible his problems were, God revealed the spiritual secrets that would open the door to success for him.

That's what makes God's method of prospering so exciting. It works anywhere and everywhere. It will work in the poorest countries on the face of this earth, just like in the United States. And you can be sure that it will work for you!

Scripture Study: Genesis 39

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2) Inside, as a born-again believer, you are perfect – born in the image of Jesus Himself. But outwardly, you may find yourself falling frustratingly short of that perfection. Is there a solution? Yes! The secret lies in "the renewing of your mind."

Romans 12:2 tells us that if you renew your mind, you can be "transformed." The word "transformed" is translated from the Greek word from which we get the term "metamorphosis." It's found in Scripture in two other places.

One of those places is when Jesus was transfigured on the Mount as He spoke with Moses and Elijah. The other is found in 2 Corinthians 3:18. It says, "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

Changed, transformed, transfigured! These powerful, exciting words describe what will happen to you as you spend time beholding the Lord in the Word and in prayer. As you spend time renewing your mind, your outer being will be transformed as much as a caterpillar is changed into a butterfly. Instead of conforming to the image of the world, you'll begin to conform to the image of the reborn spirit within you, which is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Take time to get away from the world and study God's Word. Meditate on it and let it change you from the inside out.

Be transformed by renewing your mind and release the beautiful spiritual 'butterfly' that's living in you!

Scripture Study: 2 Corinthians 3:6-18

Speaking conscious language with confidence and joy from the heart will retrain the brain with new neural pathways. The ability of the brain to grow new neural pathways is called neural plasticity.

Love, perfect love, casts out all fear. God did not give us a spirit of fear but love, power, and a sound mind.

God is within—Romans 8:11 states, "The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us." There is power in the name of Jesus. He is the I AM.

The journey to renewing your mind and restoring your soul goes from "I don't know how, and I am confused" to: "I choose to know."

You can go from I can't, and it's too hard to: I can, and I choose to make this easy.

You can go from "Why did this happen to me?" to: "I take authority over this and speak my outcome, in Jesus' Name."

You can go from pain and confusion to playful enthusiasm. I am, and I can.

Decrees and scriptures must be repeated until they overwrite and override old memory patterns. Speak with feelings, specifically in the first person, personally, identifying your outcome as here and now.

The more specific you are, the more instantaneous the manifestation.

I choose to know.

I choose to remember.

You must follow these statements with specific steps.

If you say, I don't know, it tells your subconscious not to know.

If you say, I don't remember, it tells your subconscious not to remember.

If you say, I can't find my car keys, you are telling your subconscious not to find your car keys. Negative, limiting language must be upgraded by saying, "I choose to know, I choose to remember, I choose to find my car keys," etc.

Limiting Language: I can't understand.

Upgrade to: I choose to understand. I empower myself to understand. I give myself permission to understand. I do whatever it takes to understand. I understand.

Limiting Language: This is going to be difficult.

Upgrade to: I empower this to be, and I will remain focused until my project is completed to my satisfaction. I can do this. I will do this. I will make this fun and easy.

Statement: It's hard to imagine. Upgrade this to: I imagine with ease.

Statement: Don't forget to. Upgrade to: Please remember to.

Our ability to think and say words is a gift from our Creator. We co-create with Him through our words by using His Words. Use words and your language wisely, powerfully, and lovingly to bless yourself and others. Manifest His love into reality with your words.

Upgrade: I love myself. I believe I am my new life.

Study the following points and focus as you establish a new consciousness of choice in your language.

Coach yourself. Focus on self-correction. Take ownership. Own your feelings, choices, and language. Be in your picture. Say, "I feel—my love." You connect to what you choose.

Speak from your heart. Speak with feelings from your inner self. Speak what is true from your heart and God's heart to you.

Specificity (being very specific ) brings your feelings to the surface. It takes “Feeling to bring Healing.” The more specific we are, the deeper we feel, and as we are engaged with the physical reality of our best possibility, the more open the door becomes to manifestations and results.

Words spoken with feeling and specificity equal manifestation.

Thoughts, words, and emotions create our reality. I am what I am conscious of being. My thoughts, words, and feelings shape my consciousness, which shapes my reality.

Reprogram your belief systems and rewrite what goes on in your subconscious mind.

Prayerfully and lovingly state, "I choose to make this fun and easy."

Remember to use the power of your imagination. Imagination is God's gift to us. Imagine yourself already having, feeling, and speaking your desired result. See and be your new self.

Here's an overview and some keys to speaking to enhance your memory.

When you say, "I don't know" and "I can't remember," your words become cumulative, and things will worsen. This language dumbs down your ability to remember. The more you say these things, the worse it will get.

When you do this, say "whoops" and begin a new language, such as, "Now I'm beginning to remember." "I'm beginning to remember." "I choose to remember."

"I am beginning to remember the power of my words."

"I am beginning to use the power of my words."

Please slow down and take it all in. Bring more oxygen to the brain. Breathe deeply.

Say, "I give me permission to remember." "I give me permission to remember." "I give me permission to remember." "It's okay for me to do this." "I can do this. I can do this. I can remember."

Speaking this will reprogram the neurons in your brain and develop new neural pathways.

Many times, saying “not” or saying “I can't remember” indicates you have anger, resentment, unforgiveness, or bitterness still lingering within.

Monitor how you feel inside as you speak. Remember that God gives hope. Believe. Feel it. See it. Speak it.

If you have anger and resentment in your head, it is like having too many apps open on your computer, which causes your computer to slow down and crash.  Frustration, unforgiveness, bitterness, and other such things that are lingering in your soul cause us to have mental breakdowns and other issues.

Say, "I'm beginning to realize the importance of my language." Remember to smile and be playful. "I give myself permission to do this."

Say, "I can do this. I'm beginning to realize the power of my words. I remember things with ease and playfulness."

A merry heart does good like medicine. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Laugh and have fun. Be childlike and have gratitude. Make sure you say thank you to God many times.

Developing your brain is like developing the muscles in your arms or legs. You do a little bit more and a little bit more each day. You must do the work.

The more you do this, the quicker the process accelerates. Change happens faster and quicker.

Be confident that you can do this. Keep smiling and laugh.

Say, thank you, God, thank you, God, thank you, God. Be grateful. Remember, you're doing this with God. Say, I have a great memory. I remember things easily and quickly.

Memory issues and cognitive decline can be reversed, and life can be lived to the fullest. All things are possible with God. If spoken words raised Lazarus from the grave after being dead for four days, then words can restore your memory, even if your memory seems dead. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you would like more information on this topic.

Consider these words of wisdom to help keep yourself motivated, filled with inspiration, and doing your best.

Dream big and never stop short of reaching the top. Climb safely and climb to the top. Set the highest standards. Stay on your toes. Focus on the job at hand.

No man achieves great success if that man is unwilling to make personal sacrifices.

Many are offered good advice, yet few profit from it by applying it. Will you?

The most successful people are the most accessible people. Most successful people want to teach others how to become successful. Who can you help?

Four-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield said: "You know the funny thing? When the final bell rings and they raise your hand and the crowd goes wild, whether it's a boxing match or any success in life, you never feel or remember the blows. You only feel the victory." Work hard and savor the victory of a job well done.

The man who knows what he wants in life has already gone a long way towards attaining it.

Don't give up. Don't give up too soon. You may only be 3 feet away from the gold.

Prove what you know is right deep inside your own heart. You are a winner. You are a champion. You are a child of God. You can do it.

The margin between success and failure is a very thin line. History is the past. Base your decisions on the future. Make quality choices now.

 Understand this: your degree of success in anything you choose is proportional to how many no's you can sustain while staying excited throughout the process. The number of no's you are willing to go through to get the desired results will dictate whether you succeed or fail.

The more rejection you can handle, the stronger and more capable you will be when the "YES" finally comes your way. Success is the reward for setbacks you leave behind as you move forward.

My family and I live in the shelter of the Most High; we are under His shadow.

I declare about the Lord: He alone is OUR refuge, OUR place of safety.

He is OUR God, and WE trust in Him, for He will rescue us from every trap and protect our family and LOVED ONES from any deadly disease or virus.

His faithful promises are OUR armor and protection.

WE ARE HEALED, HEALTHY AND WHOLE.

We are not afraid of the terrors of the night or the arrow that flies in the day.

We will not dread the disease that stalks in the darkness nor the disaster that strikes at midday. HIS BLOOD COVERS US.

Though a thousand fall at my side, though 10,000 are dying around me, these evils will not touch my family or me.

When I open my eyes, I see how the wicked are punished.

Because WE make the Lord OUR refuge and the Most High OUR shelter, no evil will conquer OUR FAMILY or loved ones; no plague will come near OUR home.

He will order His angels to protect ALL OF US wherever WE go.

They (His angels) will hold us up with their hands so that WE won't even hurt OUR foot on a stone.

WE LIVE IN HIS LIFE, LIGHT, AND LOVE.

We will trample upon lions and cobras and crush fierce lions and serpents under OUR feet!

 WE HAVE AUTHORITY IN HIM.

The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in My name. I will answer when they call upon Me; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with long life and give them My salvation."

On Saturday, August 13, 2018, I finished The Safety and Protection Guidebook for Law Enforcement Officers and sent it to my editor. On Monday, I was preparing to visit my children in Pennsylvania and Maryland. With this significant project finished, I could take a deep breath and relax.

Around 11:30, I felt impressed to take a break, go into our bedroom, sit in our La-Z-Boy recliner, look out our bay window over the backyard, and relax.

"I want to cover the United States of America with the protection of Psalm 91!"

I recognize this is the voice of the Holy Spirit. It was so real and so loud within me that I was shaking.

"I want to cover the United States of America with the protection of Psalm 91!" was repeated.

I saw a massive shield with Psalm 91 covering the United States of America like a dome.

I started to weep, tremble, and shake. I realize this was a God moment, a God encounter.

I knew I needed to capture this moment and write this down. I got up and headed to the kitchen table, where my notebooks and writing materials were laid out. I kept feeling in my spirit that a verse of scripture had something to do with covering the whole earth with God's knowledge as the seas were covered with water.

As I wrote the vision, I asked the Holy Spirit to direct me to that verse in the Bible.

Since it was around 11 o'clock, I went to the book of Isaiah and turned to Isaiah, chapter 11. Verse nine was highlighted.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9 KJV

I wrote in large letters Isaiah 11:9.

The Holy Spirit spoke again and said, "Look at that from right to left, as the Hebrews read. It hit me hard. The verse in chapter 11, verse 9, when looked at from right to left, became 911;

Psalm 91:1.

The website name that came to mind was Protect Me 911.com.

Isaiah 11:9: They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. (KJV)

I realized that this encounter was not a coincidence but another confirmation of the power of Psalms 91 to protect those who pray it and put their faith in it.

This psalm is known as the Psalm of Protection.

Psalm 91 will shield, protect, and cover the United States of America and its people in dire circumstances.

God will cover us with His love and protection as we pray and declare this truth over our country.

However, we MUST do our part and pray.

Chaplain Hardy Higgins shared this testimony of God's Covenant of Protection, which he experienced at the beginning of the Iraq War.

"When we found out that I was going to Iraq, the first thing I did was go to the Lord with my wife in prayer. The second thing I did was get online with my chaplain assistant and order the "No Fear Here" booklet for our troops. And I ordered the Psalm 91 cards from Kenneth Copeland Ministries.

I shared the cards with the soldiers. Before we went out on any convoy, we prayed. And each vehicle had Psalm 91 in it. And the soldiers were carrying the card. Over 6000 soldiers deployed with the brigade throughout the war; most were on the front lines, and not one was wounded.

After the war, we had a visit from a very high executive general who came north of Baghdad, where we were stationed. And we had to get him down to Baghdad International Airport to catch a plane. Our Command Sergeant Major assembled a convoy of five vehicles and took him back to the Baghdad International Airport. They dropped them off and came back.

When they came back, it was about 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. When they went under an overpass, the Iraqis, on top of the overpass, fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the Sgt. Major's vehicle.

Now, it hit the right taillight of the vehicle square in the middle. It punched the taillight lens through, then dropped back down, rolled over to the side, and scooted along the side of the road. Sitting there, the Sgt. Major said he drew up in a crunched position as he watched the rocket. He said that as he watched it, his whole world, his entire life, flashed before him.

That rocket went 20 meters in front of him and then exploded.

One of the drivers in the convoy said that we were driving, and it appeared like we were driving through a tunnel. It appeared that all the bullets were going over us, but none hit us. They were firing machine guns down on the convoy and rocket-propelled grenades, and there was not one bullet hole in any vehicle.

He looked at me and told me that story and said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm beginning to wonder."

Chaplain Higgins shared one of the original cards in the Bible that he had with him during his deployment to Iraq."

This is a call to prayer and fasting concerning the health and safety of our Nation, families, loved ones, and the world.

Here's how you pray for America. Always start with worship and thanksgiving.

"I worship You, Father God, and I thank You, Father. I acknowledge You in all my ways and call upon You in the Name of Jesus. Father, You have given your angels charge over the United States of America, our loved ones, and our families.

Satan, the resurrected blood of Jesus Christ is against you and every demonic entity. Every evil spirit of death, disease, and destruction is called null and void. These destructive entities have no power or authority over our Nation or families.

I speak victory in God's Light and Life. I speak life and command the Holy Spirit's healing power to go forth over the people of the United States. People of the United States of America, you are protected. People of the United States of America, you are healed and protected because of the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit."

For our Nation.

The most effective prayers are prayers based on Scripture, God's Word, and spoken from a person's heart, with faith and spoken out loud as a decree.

Pray the below prayer out loud from a believing heart, and know that God will answer you.

[You can read this prayer out loud or make these prayers personal by inserting specific names into these Bible-based prayers.]

Psalm 91 NLT personalized below:

"My family, myself, and everyone in this Nation live sheltered by the Most High; we are under His shadow of divine protection.

I declare this about the Lord: He alone is OUR refuge, OUR place of safety. He is OUR God, and WE trust in Him.

He will rescue us from every trap, lie, and deception of the enemy.

God protects my family, LOVED ONES, and all fellow citizens from all deadly diseases.

He has promised to be OUR armor and protection. WE ARE HEALED, PROTECTED, HEALTHY AND WHOLE.

We have no fear of the terrors that may come by night or any attack in the day.

We do not dread the disease that stalks in the darkness.

HIS BLOOD COVERS US; death and disease will pass over us.

No matter what is happening around me or in our Nation, none of these evils, sicknesses, or diseases will touch my family or any of us in the United States of America.

We have made the Lord OUR refuge, and because WE have made the Most High OUR shelter, no evil will conquer OUR FAMILY, loved ones, or anyone in America and the world; no plague, virus, or disease will come near our Nation or those I love.

He has ordered His angels to protect ALL OF US, wherever WE go. These angels will hold us up with their hands so that WE won't even hurt OUR foot on a stone.

WE LIVE IN HIS LIFE, LIGHT, AND LOVE, and we are protected and sheltered.

WE have the authority to trample upon the enemy; WE will crush fierce lions and serpents, the demonic, under OUR feet!  “Behold, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:19

The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in My Name. I will answer when they call upon Me; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with long life and give them My salvation."

"Thank You, Lord, for Your safety, protection, healing, and YOUR PROMISES of health and long life."

Decree and declare these prayers out loud.

Example: "Jesus is the Lord of my life. Sickness and disease have no power over me. I am forgiven and free from sin and guilt. I am dead to sin and alive unto righteousness." Colossians 1:21, 22

Now, take this same Scripture and reword it to include others.

Example: "Jesus is Lord over the life of everyone in America. Sickness and disease will have no power over my family or those in America, Jesus' name.

I speak that all family members, loved ones, and others in America are forgiven and free from sin and guilt. I speak that they are dead to sin and alive unto righteousness."

Example: "Jesus bore my sicknesses and carried my pain. Therefore, I give no place to sickness or pain. For God has sent His Word and healed me." Psalm 107:20

I am praying for others. Example: "I declare that Jesus bore the sickness of everyone in our Nation, my family members, and those around the world. Jesus carried everyone's pain to the cross. I give no place for sickness or pain to attack anyone that I'm praying for.

God has sent His Word and healed me, my family members, and all citizens of the USA."

Example: "No evil will come upon me; neither shall any plague come near my dwelling, my body, or our Nation. For you, God, have given Your angels charge over us. These angels will keep us in all my ways. In my pathway are life, Healing, and health from You. Father, You are our protector and healer. Psalm 91:10, 11; Proverbs 12:28

We can change our thinking by speaking Scripture. When we say them enough times, our words get embedded into our minds and will eventually be automatic, just like the alphabet or the multiplication table. That's why you should memorize key Scripture verses as they bring His Life.

Sometimes, it is challenging to control or direct our thoughts. Like a ship without a rudder, that ship cannot be directed or controlled. The Bible says that our tongue is like the rudder of a ship. A small rudder can turn and change the direction of a huge ship. Your tongue, if used correctly, by saying the right things the right way, will change the course of your life.

Our tongue, or what we say, can override our thinking. Our behavior will follow suit when our words and thoughts align with God. We can control our tongue much better than we can control our thinking. We do this by having things written down and by following a script.

The Bible says you can call things that do not exist as if they already existed.

This is critically important. If you learn to do this, your prayer life will change, and you will see your prayers answered. This is God's idea. God's method is to call the things that are not as though they were. That does not mean to deny what exists. You don't call things that are as though they are not. God's method is to call things that are not manifested as though they were already manifested.

You must see, say, feel, and believe it as if it is already done. Past tense. It is finished.

Here's an example of how to apply this if you are sick. You decree:

"Thank You, God, the Bible says that I am healed by the stripes of Jesus. I am redeemed from the curse of the law.

First Peter 2:24 says that the stripes of Jesus healed me, and I am confessing these things and saying them in the Name of Jesus. It is causing faith to come within me, and I am calling my body well. Body, are you listening to me? I'm telling you that you are well and healed in the Name of Jesus.

In this way, you are calling for something you don't have: your health to manifest.

Don't pray about the problem. Pray for the solution, and your God-given desired outcome. Thanking Him before you see the answer manifested. By thanking Him, you are enforcing the desired answer to your prayers. See the outcome and speak the outcome into existence. Speak it and say it as if you already have it. Experience the FEELINGS of already having it. "My body is healed. I am protected. I walk in health, and I have eternal life. It is mine."

You must see things and say things the same way God sees them and the same way He speaks them. When Jesus was on the cross, He said, "It is finished."

Now, here's the key. Everything is already done. Jesus, through His resurrection, has shown us that the war has already been won. You can NOT look at your circumstances or feelings and accept that as the final answer. Jesus has already won the war. You must enforce the victory in your own life. Remember that ‘the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, the Holy Spirit, lives in you.’ Romans 8:11.

Get together in a small group and share this. One person can pray, and the others in the group can repeat the prayer out loud. Take time to go before God and get your own life right with God. Repent, forgive, release any offense, and ask the Holy Spirit if anything would hinder your prayers.

Here are some key scriptures that are a foundation for believing and trusting God for answered prayer.

Proverbs 18:21: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue…" This is why we speak the prayers and decree them out loud. We command safety, healing, and protection in the atmosphere and environment over our Nation, the world, including our physical bodies.

Romans 4:17: "As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickened the dead, and called those things which be not as though they were." We don't deny what is already 'there'. In our prayers, with the above scriptural authority, we speak the outcome and what we want to see. We declare the answers to health, safety, and protection for all of America. See it, say it, and believe it!

Luke 9:1,2: "Then Jesus called together the Twelve [apostles] and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases, and He sent them out to announce and preach the kingdom of God and to bring healing." You must trust and believe. Jesus not only said that we could do everything He did, He said that we could do even "greater works."

Luke 10:19 AMPC "Behold! I (God) have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions and (physical and mental strength and ability) over all the power that the enemy possesses, and nothing shall in any way harm you." What a promise from God. This one Scripture should set you free to know that nothing will harm you and that you have power and authority over every demonic influence against you.

Matthew 18:18: "Verily I say unto you, whatsoever shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." These prayers' bind' this virus, sickness and disease, and all other forms of violence and economic problems on earth in the name of Jesus.

God, I now pray for your supernatural safety, healing, and protection over everyone in America, in my home, my loved ones, and myself. Plague, pandemic, stop, cease in the Name of Jesus. Thank You, God, for healing our land!

In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, I come before You, Heavenly Father, acknowledging Your sovereignty and power over all things. I declare that Jesus is Lord over every aspect of my life, and I surrender completely to His authority.

Precious Lord Jesus, Your Word assures us that in Your name, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that You are Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). I stand on the truth of Your Word and invoke Your name as I pray for deliverance from all forms of bondage, oppression, and spiritual attack.

In the name of Jesus, I rebuke every force of darkness that seeks to hinder Your work in my life. I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, for You are my shield and fortress (Isaiah 54:17). I command every evil spirit to flee from me now, in Jesus’ name.
Lord Jesus, You have given us authority over all the enemy's power (Luke 10:19), and I claim that authority now as Your redeemed child. I renounce any ties to darkness and declare my allegiance to You, the Light of the world.

I plead the blood of Jesus over every area of my life, asking for Your cleansing, protection, and healing. Let Your precious blood cover me and shield me from all harm.
Holy Spirit, fill me afresh with Your power and presence. Empower me to walk in victory and freedom, knowing that greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Strengthen my faith and guide me in Your truth as I continue to trust in You.

Psalm 18:2 – “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” This verse portrays God as the ultimate source of deliverance and refuge, whose power is compared to a fortress and a shield.
