Prayed…
Thank You Lord, we are so thankful that You reign
You are reigning in these days, and in these hours that we are living in right now
It is not in our strength, but in Your strength and in Your reigning power!
Holy Spirit, we are so grateful and thankful for Your mercy, Your help, and Your assistance to us
Father, You said in Your word that You would lead and guide our steps
So we believe that You are leading and guiding us today!
Not in our own strength, but in Your strength, Lord
Thank You for showing and revealing to us the things that are to come
You have met every need according to Your will and to Your Word!
Declaring that no weapon formed against us shall or will prosper in the name of Jesus!
Thank You for what was done on the cross, so that we can reign in these days
We are so thankful for the precious blood of Jesus that was shed
In and through that blood, we are overcomers!
Declaring that The United States of America is overcoming in every area
Jesus is Lord over America!
Calling for some things to be changed and rearranged in the name of Jesus!
We will take no care about the things that are to come, but we cast our cares on You, Lord
Lifting up America and bringing it before You, Father
Thank You for what You have done in this nation
We lift up every missionary, and we plead the blood of Jesus over them
Protect them, Lord
Thank You that every need they have would be met according to Your Word
We call in all the finances they need to fulfill their call and their destiny, Father
You have called them for such a time as this!
Calling for doors of opportunity to be opened to them in these last days
We lift up Easter Sunday before You, Lord
Yes, we will bring to remembrance what was done on the cross for us
Hallelujah!
We have the victory in and through You!
Giving You all the glory, honor, and praise today!
This is the day that You have made and we will rejoice and be glad in it!
We will declare the things that need to be declared!
Glory be to God!

The following excerpt is taken from The Authority of the Believer & How to Use it by Dr. Billye Brim:
Kenneth Hagin’s Foreword
Kenneth E. Hagin wrote the following in the Foreword to his book, The Believer’s Authority
Back in the 1940s, I asked myself the question, “Do we have authority that we don’t know about—that we haven’t discovered—that we’re not using?”
I had had little glimpses of spiritual authority once in a while. Like others, I had stumbled upon it and had exercised it without knowing what I was doing. I wondered, “Is the Spirit of God trying to show me something?” so I began to study along this line, think along this line, feed along this line—and I began to see more and more light.
An article in The Pentecostal Evangel prompted my study on the words “power” and “authority.” Then I came across a wonderful pamphlet entitled The Authority of the Believer by John A. MacMillan, a missionary to China [and the Philippines] who later edited the Alliance Weekly…
As a result of my studies, I concluded that we as a Church have authority on the earth that we’ve never yet realized—authority that we’re not using.
A few of us have barely gotten to the edge of that authority, but before Jesus comes again, there’s going to be a whole company of believers who will rise up with the authority that is theirs. They will know what is theirs, and they will do the work that God intended they should do.
In the last paragraph of his Foreword, Kenneth Hagin, I believe, prophesied the time in which we live—the end of the end of days. I believe we are that company, a prayer force, that is rising up with the authority that is ours.
John A. MacMillan’s Preface
John A. MacMillan’s pamphlets were put into a book that I preach from, and sell everywhere I go: The Authority of the Believer.
People often skip Forewords and Prefaces to books, but this one is of immeasurable importance. When I teach on this subject, and that is often, I start by reading MacMillan’s Preface. The italicized emphasis is mine.
The rapidly approaching end of the age is witnessing a tremendous increase in the activity of the powers of darkness…[He lists several reasons for this that he saw.]
To meet the situation the Church of Christ needs a new conception of prayer. The urgent call is for men and women, wholly yielded to the Lord, whose eyes have been enlightened to see the ministry in the heavenlies to which they have been called.
Such believers…may in union with the great Head of the Body, exercise an authority to which the powers of the air must give place wherever challenged.
In His Great commission, He said, “All authority is give unto me in heaven and in earth, Go ye therefore…”
Jesus delegated the authority on the earth to His body on the earth.
The Greater One Within
Authority is as strong as the power behind it. The authority of the traffic policeman is as strong as the civic government behind him.
The power behind the body of Christ is the greatest power in all Creation—the power of God. That’s why the Word of God declares, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Who are the “them” that verse 4 says we have overcome? They are the evil spirits written about in verses 1-3.
We have overcome them. Why?
Because the Greater One lives in us!
We have authority over the kingdom of darkness.
We can, and we must, use our authority in the end of days.
