The following excerpt is taken from The Bloodline of a Champion by Mark Hankins:
Group Picture
Have you ever taken a group picture? What is the first thing you look for in a group picture? Yourself. The reality of your redemption is in the group picture. When you find yourself in the picture of the crucifixion, things aren’t looking too good. If you are not impressed with who you are in Christ, you’ve not seen Him lately!
But three days later, the picture changes from the crucifixion to the resurrection. Now you are blessed because you are in Christ in His resurrection. Now you are looking like a champion! Now you are redeemed! Now you are healed! When He sat down, you were seated with Him in that place of dominion and authority. Now you are in Christ!
In the Old Testament, only the priest had access into the Holy of Holies and the presence of God. In the New Testament, everybody in the Body of Christ has access to the Holy of Holies and can call God, “Father.” Smith Wigglesworth said, “You need to see how wonderful you are in God and how helpless you are in yourself.” You will find the answers to your problems when you realize that you are a new creature in Christ. You have been granted access into the very presence of God! From that place, you can get victory in every area of your life!

Prayed…
Thank You for the power of the Holy Spirit that is actively working in us and through us
We magnify and lift up the wonderful name of Jesus
Your name is above every other name, and we declare that name today, Lord
We glorify and honor the name of Jesus, all authority is in Your name!
The name of Jesus is above every situation, every plan, and every demonstration
Yes, Father every knee shall and will bow at the name of Jesus!
We lean on and trust in the name of Jesus today!
Limitations be removed in Jesus’ name!
Jesus is the key; He is the King of Kings and the Lord of all Lords; He is the way maker!
We are going all the way through to the finish line, in the name of Jesus
Prepare, prepare, we prepare the way with the name that is above every other name
Humbling ourselves before You, Lord
Every need shall be supplied, for we will continue to walk out into the new!
We trust in You Lord, for You are leading and guiding every step we take
Hidden things be revealed in Jesus’ name!
Grant us wisdom regarding which road to take and which plan to walk out
In that name, by that name, and through that name—Jesus!
Declaring that Jesus is Lord over this nation
No, we will not stay the same, but we call forth change in the name of Jesus
Things are turning and changing in the right way, in God’s way
The church will not back off and back down, but we will stand up in our rightful place
We use our authority and we call those things right in Jesus’ name
Shaking some things, moving some things, and declaring some things
Preparations of and by Your Spirit, oh God
We put our hands to the plow, and we will prepare the way, Father
There is much more to be said, there is much more to be had, and much more to be done
Entering into those ways, give us strength to proceed in Your will and plan
Give us a revelation of the times we are living in Lord
No longer a delay, but we are moving forward and going beyond
We are moving more and more into the spirit realm
Together now, Father
Declaring that each and every one would take their place in Christ Jesus
Calling for unity in the body of Christ today!
United, one heart, one purpose, and one plan!
Holding fast to those things You have called us to, Father
No, we will not let up or let go!
We are still marching into greater, rolling with the plan, and rolling with the change
Calling for the boundlessness of God into those areas, those places, and those realms
Leaving those limitations behind and entering into those high places of God
We declare those things to be steady now!
The church must stand upon the authority and the power that is in the name of Jesus
Stepping out of some things and stepping into those things You have called us to
Watching from the places we have been called to watch from, Father
We take our seat in heavenly places with You, that we may be seated with You, Lord
Give us an understanding of the times that we are living in
Pleading the blood of Jesus over those decisions
Decisions that would lift up the body, decisions that would push out the boundaries
Yes, Father we will contend for more, contend for greater, and contend for glory
Clear steps in Jesus’ name!
No confusion, no indecision!
Those decisions must be made accurately, and prayed out, and prayed forth!
Proceed, proceed, and proceed into the new, for these are new steps
We will operate in the new; we will walk into even greater steps ahead!
Thank You for the presence and the power of Your Holy Spirit, Lord
Show us the way to go and the way to walk
You have equipped us with all wisdom, power, authority, and Your presence
Give us boldness and courage to contend all the way through to the end
We receive the influence of Your precious Holy Spirit
Doors be opened in Jesus’ name!
Calling for restoration in the body of Christ today!
Those things that the enemy stole, God will redeem!
We will hold fast to those things that we know are right!
Declaring that those things will be restored seven times greater than that which was stolen!
Hallelujah!
A Word of the Lord came forth:
It’s time now saith the Lord, to remind yourself of the things that I have already done for you personally in your life. To bring it back to your remembrance time after time not to go back not to try to turn around and go back where you were, but remind yourself what I did do for you so that you will know when you begin to step out into the new there will not be questions about what to do. For I have already prepared, already prepared your plan personally. So the reports or the pages that will be written they will be new, but they shall be the same Father, the same Holy Spirit, the same Jesus that you received change in your life or lives, personally and together. So in reminding yourself, let Me by My spirit bring to you things that you should be reminded of, that you might walk out into the new. For I have charted a plan, I have prepared the way, I have paid for the trip by the blood on the cross. So continually take your place, stay in the race, full speed ahead.

Thank You for the blood that was shed on the cross for us
We give You all the glory, honor and praise today

Opening our hearts, and we bow humbly before You
We trust You, we need You, and we rely upon You
Glory be to God!
