Hello there. God bless you if you are reading this.
Recently, my son picked up the Playstation Vita console and the 'Danganronpa' games.
It seemed innocent enough. The front covers for the games each show a black and white bear. However, after his behavior became noticably more morbid, I decided to play the games for myself.
I was disgusted by what I saw.
The game glorifies murder, and execution.
And one of the games glorifies child rape, and mass murder.
The game has teenagers fighting to go into the outside world. Each teenager is executed violently for their crimes. They also encourage perversion in one scene in which multiple male characters spy on girls in the bath.
The second game is worse. It has the teenagers on a peaceful island which turns out to be a computer. The murders are more brutal and so are the executions. In this one, the main character snoops on two characters naked in the shower, one of whom appears to be a small girl, and the girls also have a swimsuit meet.
Then there is the third game, which makes out Christians to be the villains.
5 young children want to defeat the corrupted sinners of the town, and you and your serial killer ally stop them. In one scene, you are forced to grope the main character.
My son clearly loves the games but I am worried he will be corrupted. What shall I do?
God bless if you help.
It sounds like it's past time that you do spiritual warfare for your family. You stand in the gap for your family, you're head over your family. Get into the Word. Pray the Word, Decree the Word over them. You have dominion here, you have spiritual authority over your family. Not to be mean here, but man up and get to work. Being a Christian dad is not a free ride. I speak this in love not condemnation. I've had to speak to me the same way.
This is a powerful and empowering Word from the Lord. It is such a long Word that I have made it into two parts. Be sure to study this lesion in its entirety. The second half will be sent on Thursday. It will truly bless you.
(Job 22:28) Thou shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. When is the last time you opened your mouth that God formed and audibly decreed something? He has placed this ability in you to use for the purposes of the Kingdom of God.
Speak, declare, command, take back that which was stolen, and
take by the power of His Written Word and His Spoken Word. It is a tool He has placed in your hand and it will not come back void as He told you.
(Isa 55:11) So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Decree means to order, command or decide (something), a formal and authoritative order.
Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. We cannot use worldly tools to battle spiritual things or you could say you cannot use the natural to deal with the supernatural. Get out your weapon and yield it right now. Your Words spoken in faith are your weapon.
(2Co 10:4) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
(2Co 10:5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Wherever you are, whatever you are doing,
decree. Call in the things that belong to you. You have been promised in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 many promises. It you aren’t walking in them, you must take them back.
(Deu 30:20) That thou may love the LORD thy God, and that thou may obey his voice, and that thou may cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou may dwell in the land which the LORD swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Speak to your mountains. (Mark 11:23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Sickness is a mountain. Lack is a mountain. Fear is a mountain. Cancer is a mountain. Speak to your mountains in your life. You have authority in your world. Use it.
Let your decree be done with speed!
(Ezra 6:12) And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
It is time to rise up and be established by decreeing the Word of God in your life today. Every day is a good day to decree the Word of God in your life. But it is even a greater day, when the gift of faith is moving and you are given unction of the Holy Spirit to decree His Word in your life. Today, this season, it is time to use your faith to establish the Word of God in your world. Don’t wait just for the unction. He decrees it no matter how you feel. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Each time you speak it, faith will grow. You will come to the place that you have the unction of the Holy Spirit behind your decree.
The definition of the word “establish” comes from the same root as cement as to affix or glue permanently. When you are established in the Word of God, it has become a permanent part of your life. You have become aware of your promises, dwelt in Him long enough that it cannot be stolen from you again. When the devil tries, you recognize him quickly and use your authority to resist him. It is forever. You have become established.
When a church or a club starts, it is called “established.” This means it has it formal and official beginning. When we have accepted Christ, then we learn His promises, and speak them over our lives, we have activated the Word of God and have become “established” in His promises.
Faith grows in our lives as we spend time in the Word of God and in prayer abiding in Him (John 15:7).
(1) Accept the finished work of Calvary (Rom 10:13)
(2) Study the Word of God to know what belongs to you. (Ps 107:20)
(3) Feed on the Word until it becomes a part of you. (Jn 8:32)
(4) Decree the Word of God. (Job 22:28)
(5) Then you become established in Him. (Ez 16:62)
When your faith grows, you find the gift of faith forming in your lives and in your lips. You then are to speak the Word of God and establish it in your lives. Speaking the Word of God by the unction of the Holy Spirit will always activate the Word of God causing God’s will to manifest in your natural lives.
Decree it done today! There are many things that you have been waiting for God to establish in your life and ministry. Today is the day by His Holy Spirit to decree it established in your life.
(Mark 16:20) And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
(Proverbs 15:23) A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word
spoken in due season, how good
is it!
(Eze 16:62) And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shall know that I am the LORD:
(2 Thessalonians 2:17) Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
(2 Thessalonians 3:3) But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep
you from evil.
(Proverbs 12:19) The lip of truth shall be established forever: but a lying tongue
is but for a moment.
(Proverbs 16:3) Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
For days the Lord has continued ministering to me even more about decreeing. This is an incredible and timely revelation for this season. Of course making decrees has been a gift available to us from the beginning. Like all revelations that God gives to us, it has become our Rhema for today. That means it is highlighted by God as our instruction for today.
Keep in mind that one of the actual names for Jesus is the Word. In Genesis, Chapter one we can read all about how God created with the spoken Word. It ends with verse 26, as we are told that we are made in His image. If we are in His image, then we are to create the same way that He did; with the spoken Word. I have highlighted all the times in this first part of Genesis one where He spoke and created. God created with the Spoken Word. That was His example to us.
(Genesis 1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:4) And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:5) And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (Genesis 1:6) And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(Genesis 1:7) And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. (Genesis 1:8) And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. (Genesis 1:9) And God said Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. (Genesis 1:10) And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:11) And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. (Genesis 1:12) And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:13) And the evening and the morning were the third day. (Genesis 1:14) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: (Genesis 1:15) And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. (Genesis 1:16) And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. (Genesis 1:17) And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, (Genesis 1:18) And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:19) And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. (Genesis 1:20) And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
(Genesis 1:21) And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(Genesis 1:22) And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. (Genesis 1:23) And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. (Genesis 1:24) And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. (Genesis 1:25) And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
The spoken Word is God’s creative power. The spoken Word is activating the Word and will of God. You see, when God turned this world over to man (Genesis 1:26), He created a law that He has chosen to obey. He does this because His Word is perfect and because He is incapable of not telling the truth or not fulfilling His Word. When He gave this earth to mankind, He gave the authority of this earth to mankind. That meant that man now has to authorize God to accomplish His will. There is a scripture in 1 Corinthians Chapter one that explains this. (1 Corinthians 1:19-25) 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God; it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Preaching is another form of speaking His Word or it should be. You should only hear the will and Word of God when you hear preaching or preach yourselves. When you speak His Word whether preaching, teaching, singing, prophesying, or praying, you are allowing or giving permission for God to manifest His will or His Word in your lives. Yes, He can do anything without us. He chose not to. Read in Genesis 1:26. He gave us dominion. He gave us a free will.
Pt 2
He requires our input because He wants us to ask for His assistance. He will not just jump in there and act independently. You have to release God to work in your behalf by what we say. Be sure your heart is right. Does it line up with the will of God? Or does it line up with the lies of this natural world?
Your actions must also line up with your confessions. You can’t say one thing and do another. For example, Luke 6:38, says give and it shall be given unto you, pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom. If you are a giver, God will see that someone gives to you. There is another scripture that says to honor your father and your mother that you may live long upon the earth. You can claim finances all day long, but if you are not obeying the Word with relationship, confession and giving, it won’t happen.
(Mark 16:20) And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
He says in Mark 11, to “
Say unto the mountain” and it would have to move. There is another example of our spoken Words activating the will of God. All forms of speaking mean to “DECREE.”
The Lord has sent a special anointing for this season for decreeing and establishing His perfect Will that He has already been promising you for a long time.
Ask God to remind you of all the visions that He has given to you. Then begin to activate the promises in your life by decreeing them. The Lord reminded me of several years ago, when he had me decreeing the Word over our ministry and our family. For about a year, I had been decreeing that God was giving me along with some other things a home and vehicle so that I could take care of things in my family and put my mind on the ministry without having to be concerned about these needs for my family. The Lord supernaturally provided a home with 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, on almost 4 acres and a new van with all the bells and whistles. Because of this gift, for several years we were able to put our minds more on the work of the Lord because we didn’t have to think of providing those needs for our family when we were doing our work for Him in that city. He reminded me even today that this season is like that one. We are to decree those things that he has promised again. Breakthrough has already begun. Miracles are happening now.
The Lord instructed me to decree over the ministers and serious believers subscribed to Daily Golden Footprints and my own ministry a cushion above our needs in our checking accounts of a minimum of $1000.oo, so that we will never again be hindered by finances when obeying the Lord with our ministries.
I decree that right and correct doors are opening and wrong doors are closing. I decree that you Lord will continue to cause just the right persons to receive the Daily Golden Footprints each day as they go out. Lord you said if I would write down all you said that you would put it in the right hands. I decree it done in Jesus name. I decree that houses and lands are coming into the hands of your children, Lord. I decree that the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. I decree that cushion for your children in Jesus name. I decree a great transfer of wealth from the sinners to God’s children this in these last three months. I decree A GATHERING OF PROPHETS. I decree revival among the all the families in our church and ministry and in yours. I decree revival among the families and the children. I decree fresh anointing. I decree the greatest revival that we have ever seen. I decree health and strength to your ministries and your children, Lord. I decree healing to your families and marriages which have been broken by the enemy this year. I decree new jobs to those who have lost their job this year and now need a new job. I decree a new understanding of the prosperity promises that line up with your Word, Lord. I decree new life in our Churches. I decree there will be newly saved, hungry, people joining daily. I decree that plenty of your children will come forward to disciple your newly saved children. I decree a wealth of the sinner into the hands of your children even now. In the name of Jesus. Amen
I thank you Lord that I am blessed coming in and going out. Everything I touch, you cause it to prosper. I am blessed in the city and in the field. I am blessed in the works of my hands. I am blessed in ministry. I am blessed in finances. I am blessed period. I thank you Lord that you are bringing us together with those that we are to minister to. You have made divine appointments. I thank you that many souls come to you, that many are healed, many delivered and there is a great move of God in Jesus name. Father, I thank you for giving us just the right words to speak and just the timing and opportunity to speak them. I thank you that the secrets of the heart are manifest and faith is raised to receive your miracles. I thank you for miracles, miracles, miracles. I thank you Lord that you have opened for me a great and effectual door.
(1 Corinthians 16:9) For a great door and effectual is opened unto me...I thank you Lord that your gift that you have given me is making room for even today and bringing me before great men. (
Proverbs 18:16) A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men. I thank you that you are supplying every need according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I thank you that the needed finances come in daily from every source. Father, thank you that your favor that rests upon Grady and I both as we take on your current assignment. I thank you that you have already established the work of our hands. Thank you that our needs are already met. Thank you that I have the strength physically to do this job for you in Jesus name with strength and no pain. My body functions the way it was created to function. Everything works properly. My heart is the right size. There is no pain in my body. My sugar level is normal. There is no swelling in my body.
I thank you Lord that you are ministering to each person who receives the Daily Golden Footprints each day. You are mending homes, saving family members and friends, healing each of them, and encouraging them with your word. Thank you that you control every word that is sent out and you cause just the right persons to read them. That you minister daily to the ones who are supposed to give into our ministry and call them obedient to your voice, in Jesus name.
Thank you for causing this scripture to manifest in our lives.
Psalms 90:17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Thank you for meeting these needs and for loving your children. Father, I thank you Grady and I are both completely surrounded with your favor.
(Psalms 5:12) For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield. We have favor in ministry. We have favor with people. We have favor with anyone we need favor with. We have favor with those we do business with. We have favor with those we are ministering to. We have favor with every pastor and every person that we will be ministering to. I thank you that we have favor in every service that you send us into. Your favor causes every need to be met in the name of Jesus. Father, I thank you for the leading of your Holy Spirit as I minister each time. Thank you that you tell me what I need to know for their faith to be built to receive from you as you promised in this scripture.
(1 Corinthians 14:25) And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. Father, I thank you that you make yourself known to me and those ministered to in all the gifts of the spirit and especially word of knowledge and wisdom. I do not depend on my ability to hear your voice but on your ability to get through to me. I don’t speak what I have, but I have what I speak. Father we stand on this word
… (1 Corinthians 16:9) For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. And this scripture as well… We stand on them
… (Matthew 10:19) We ...
take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. Thank you Lord that you give me just the right words to speak when I need it. You fill my mouth with wisdom and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 10:20) For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you. Thank you for Holy Ghost empowerment.
(Act 1:8) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. I thank you for the wisdom that you have given to me.
(Jas 1:5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. I follow your directions as I continue…Those you would have me to minister to follow your word as well. They desire to hear your words. I call them hungry after you, Lord. They give what is right for them to give to our ministry. They are hardworking and unselfish children of the most high God. You minister to each and every need they have. You reveal the secrets of their hearts that will do the most to minister to them faith to receive your will. I thank you that where you guide, you provide.
(Matthew 10:7) And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 10:8) Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. (Matthew 10:9) Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, (Matthew 10:10) Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. (Matthew 10:27) What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. I thank you Lord that I am your child, I hear your voice and I do not follow a stranger.
(Joh 10:27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: In Jesus Name. Father, I thank you for keeping our pastors in the palm of your hands. We speak peace and safety to them in Jesus name. We thank you for opening right doors and closing wrong doors. We decree Holy Ghost empowerment and enrichment for each of the pastors in Jesus name. I thank you that you are guiding every footstep. You keep them in perfect peace as their minds are stayed upon you.
