We decree and declare praying in the authority of Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior, that we shall not be off centered, not blurred, or out-of-focus, toward the promises of God and His Word! As we pray, we are announcing to the enemy that, this is the day which the Lord has made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it, no matter what the enemy tries to do to get us off-centered, through deception or manipulation, we are praying that we shall stay right in center of Jesus’ will as we experience His love, His joy, His peace and His healing power for our lives in Jesus’ name, Amen!

We are determined and tenacious in this prayer to let the devil and the enemy of our faith know that we are going to uphold a spiritual standard of faith, cleanliness, righteousness, truth, holiness, correctness, and love as You renew our minds to yield not to temptation today, but allow thy Will be done, thy Kingdom come in us as it is in Heaven in Jesus’ name, Amen!

We thank You God because You answer by fire during our drowning situations! Hallelujah! We overcome these downpours of false accusations, downpours of lack, downpours of bad decisions, downpours of fear, downpours of sickness, depression, oppression, and despair because of Your consuming fire that burns out each and everything that doesn’t line up to the Word of God in our lives! We say and pray thank You in Jesus’ name, Amen!
