www.pastoranne.org  On one of her telecasts Pastor Anne Gimenez reiterates the Hebrew belief of 3 heavens [1-earth's atmosphere + stratosphere (beginning 7 miles up from earth), 2-ionosphere, 3-God's dominion].  Anne believes that the 1st heaven/atmosphere was the devil's dominion until he killed the son of God Who went to hell and retook the keys that Adam forfeited in the garden of Eden.  When Jesus retook the keys, He took the dominion/ keys/authority of the earth (1st heaven/atmosphere/air touching earth) back from Satan and returned them back to man.  Man (when he finally realizes that he has dominion) has authority over demons and disease.  Satan (who is a spirit and thus invisible) does NOT want man to realize that he is alive and kicking.  When man does realize that demons/evil spirits are real, Satan does NOT want man to realize that man has power/control over demons; rather Satan intends to keep man in the dark (thinking that he/Satan has the upper hand).  Christ handed the keys of the kingdom to man, but until man wakes up spiritually, he will never know about nor use them.  Man needs the baptism of water and of the Holy spirit.  Sleeping Beauty needed a kiss from the Prince in the fairy tale in order to awake from the dead.  We need God's kiss, so we can awake from our spiritual slumber.  In Christ Jesus, we have all the goods, His goods, His keys.  We can take back what the enemy has stolen. Each generation has this same opportunity.  When Christ took captives back from hell, it was the saints He rescued, those who died before He was resurrected.  Now through the Holy Spirit/His blood/His name we have resurrection power to do everything that Christ did while on earth.

               Scripture reads that the prophet Ezekiel spoke to the dead bones and they woke up.

EZEKIEL 37:1-10 TLB  1The power of the Lord was upon me and I was carried away (translated) by the (Holy) Spirit of the Lord to a valley full of old, dry bones that were scattered everywhere across the ground.  He led me around among them.  3Then He said to (asked) me, "Son of dust, can these bones become people again?"  I replied, "Lord, You alone know the answer to that."  4Then He told me to speak (talk/prophesy) to the bones and say (command), "O dry bones, Listen to the words of God, for  5the Lord says, 'See!  I am going to make you live and breathe again!  6I will replace the flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin.  I will put breath (life/human spirit/God's spirit) into you.  You shall live and know (acknowledge/recognize) I am the Lord.'"  7I spoke (aloud/talked) these words from God, just as He told me to.  Suddenly there was a rattling noise from all across the valley.  The bones of each body came together and attached to each other as they used to be.  8As I watched, the muscles and flesh formed over the bones, skin covered them, but the bodies had no breath (life/human spirit/eternal life).  9Then He told me to call to the wind and say, "The Lord God says, 'Come from the 4 winds, O (Holy) Spirit, and breathe upon these slain bodies, that they may live again.'"  10So I spoke to the winds as He commanded me and the bodies began breathing.  They lived and stood up, a very great army. (Spiritual insight = It is the human spirit of a person that is the real person, who can have eternal life in heaven or hell.)  (End of scripture.)

Dry bones, just like ours - our circumstances.
Let us apply this to our situation.
Let us reread this scripture.
Let us substitute our name/situation in place of the word "bones".
Dry bones (me/Dick/Jane/city/nation/diseased body), revive, and be vibrant again.

EZEKIEL 37:1-10 TLB    1The power of the Lord was upon me and I was carried away (translated) by the (Holy) Spirit of the Lord to a valley full of old, dry (bones (mental illness/disease) that were scattered everywhere across the ground (land/streets/mental institutions/hospitals/halfway houses).  He led me around among them.  3Then He said to (asked) me, "Son of dust, can these (bones/mentally ill/corpses/lepers) become people (normal/alive) again?"  I replied, "Lord, You alone know the answer to that."  4Then He told me to speak (talk/prophesy) to the (bones/mental illness/disease) and say (command), "O dry (bones/mental illness/disease), Listen to the words of God, for  5the Lord says, 'See!  I am going to make you live and breathe again!  6I will replace the flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin.  I will put breath (life/human spirit/God's spirit) into you.  You shall live and know (acknowledge/recognize) I am the Lord.'"  7I spoke (aloud/talked) these words from God, just as He told me to.  Suddenly there was a rattling noise from all across the valley.  The (bones/mental illness/disease) of each body came together and attached to each other as they used to be.  8As I watched, the muscles and flesh formed over the  (bones/mental illness/disease), skin covered them, but the bodies had no breath (life/human spirit/eternal life).  9Then He told me to call to the wind and say, "The Lord God says, 'Come from the 4 winds, O (Holy) Spirit, and breathe upon these slain bodies, that they may live again.'"  10So I spoke to the winds as He commanded me and the bodies began breathing.  They lived and stood up, a very great army.  (End of scripture.)

Notice, there were spiritual steps to revival/resurrection/power/fixing a problem/death/disease.

1st, spiritual life had to come from the Trinity (Jesus Christ, especially).  Will God adopt me?
EZEKIEL 37  "I will put breath (life/human spirit/God's spirit) into you.  You shall live and know (acknowledge/recognize that) I am the Lord (which includes Jesus Christ as our savior)."

2nd, spiritual power had to come from the Trinity (especially the Holy Spirit).  
EZEKIEL 37  "Come from the 4 winds, O (Holy) Spirit, and breathe upon these slain bodies, that they may live again (be revived/cured/resurrected from the dead/healed from an infirmity/go to heaven/receive power to overcome problems.) [The water baptism is public evidence of taking Jesus as savior.  Baptism in the Holy Spirit, ceremony of confirmation, is public evidence of receiving power.  Many believe that speaking in tongues is the authentic spiritual evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit.  Remember, even Jesus' disciples had to wait to receive this empowerment before they could minister to others.]"
[Matthew 3:7,11-12    When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them, "...I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One who is more powerful than I, Whose sandals I am not fit to carry.  He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.]  Baptism

3rd, the death/problem had to be spoken to.
EZEKIEL 37:4-5  Then He (God) told me to speak (talk/prophesy) to the bones and say (command), "O dry bones, Listen to the words of God, for  5the Lord says,
GENESIS 1:3    God SAID (out loud), "Let there be light."
GENESIS 1:26 KJV  God SAID, "Let US (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, after Our likeness."
We need to speak aloud God's words = scripture.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.
It is what God says/speaks through our mouths that change circumstances.

Apparently when there is no immediate need there is no preparedness or awareness.
We need an emergency/crisis/disaster to arouse us out of our apathy/ignorance/complacency.
Then it may be too late, unless the Lord is/has been merciful.
Besides, who wants to do terrorism/jungle warfare in times of peace! 
No fun/incentive/adrenaline/need!
We forget that the enemy does not want us to be prepared/aware that he exists.
That enemy could be  Hitler/hunger/poverty/disease/war/death/Satan/joblessness/insanity/rape/abuse/etc.
2nd, even if harm hits another, as long as it is not on our doorstep, we seldom hurt or empathize.
Those dandelions crowding out a neighbor's lawn, do not encroach upon our tidy space,
until one morning we wake up to see that those seeds have floated over the fence and taken root in our lives.

How many of us have read the ENTIRE  Bible?
How many of us have memorized a few Bible verses and can now recite them from heart?
How many of us have memorized a few chapters of the Bible?
How many of us read the Bible practically every day?
How many of us listen to the Bible on tape daily?
We are powerless because we have no incentive,
and we have no incentive because we are powerless.
Knowing Jesus and His word will get us into heaven,
but it will not get the butter on the bread, not solve our problems.
We need to apply that word, the butter to the bread.
We need to SPEAK ALOUD His Word to the problem.
We need to go on the offensive, as in a football game, not the defensive.
It is not God's problem to fix.  It is our problem to fix.
Jesus did the work and sat down at the right hand side of His dad.
The Trinity is waiting on us to toss the ball into the basket.
Satan in always winning until we pick up the ball, the Word of God, and run with it.
Not teach Sunday school.  Not smile at a grouch.  Yes, speak aloud the Word of God.
Joshua had legal/spiritual title to Canaan/Israel before he captured it.
However, he did not capture it in one sweep/swoop.
It took many battles/wars/years to accomplish what God had in mind.
The generation before him lost out completely, because of doubt/unbelief/fear/inaction + unfamiliarity with God's words/heart/mind.

God did not hand the land of Israel to Moses and Joshua.  Moses had to contend with Pharaoh to allow the Hebrews to leave Egypt.  After Moses died, Joshua had to battle nation by nation to conquer the promised land, which belonged to others who did not want to let go without a fight.  Neither will our enemy, Satan, let go without a fight.  Nonetheless, Satan has already lost the war.  It is for us to wake up and take back what Satan has stolen.  If we claim nothing, then we will gain nothing.  The choice is ours!  (If your relatives leave you an inheritance, do you sit and do nothing, or do you go and chase after it with all your might?  The Bible has promised us much.  Thank you Jesus.  It is finished.  I already have it.  It is legally mine.  The deed is mine.  The title is mine.  The ownership is mine.  I  claim it.  Enemy, take your hands off the inheritance.  It is mine.  I praise You, Lord.)  Praise is a shortcut to healing

For further encouragement see    Applying the Word of God

Postscript - There is a current author (whose name we do not remember) who God instructed to read the entire Book of Acts aloud on his knees, perhaps 3x, until he received what he needed.  He did receive.

What is our reality?  What we see?  What we feel?  What the doctors tell us?  When we more and more rely ONLY on what Jesus and His father God say in scripture and ignore what the flesh perceives, then we can know that at long last we are beginning to obtain our heart's desire.
Angel Wood's autobiography "Angel a Walking Miracle" shares that when her parents received a bad report from her teachers, they would write on each school paper that they did NOT accept that report; rather they proclaimed that, in the name of Jesus Christ, Angel was healed of mental retardation by the stripes of Jesus, according to 1st Peter 2:24 and Isaiah 53:5-6. 
Guess what?  Angel did receive her healing!  Why?  God's methods are different from man's!  So, when we get to the end of our methods, we can try God's, unless we are already in the grave.  Remember Moses' congregation?  They went around in circles 40 years AND died there, when they could have crossed the dessert in 11, yes, 11 days!

                                                            other HOLY SCRIPTURE

Exodus 14:15-20 NIV    15The Lord said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to Me?  (You) Tell the Israelites to move on.  16(You) Raise your staff and (you) stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water, so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.  17I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, so that they will go in after them.  I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.  18The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."  19Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel's army, withdrew and went behind them.  The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, 20coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel.

Psalm 118:10-14,15 NKJV  10In the name of the Lord I will destroy them.  11They surrounded me.  Yes, they surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.  12They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns, for in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them.  13You (enemy/demon/Satan) pushed me violently, that I might fall, but the Lord helped me.  14The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation...19I will praise the Lord.  20This is the gate of the Lord, through which the righteous shall enter.

Mark 16:15-18 NKJV   15He said to them...17"These signs SHALL follow them that believe; in My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.  18they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they SHALL recover. (Commentary - #1 Sincerely repent of all sins of self, family, and ancestors - that now come to mind.  #2 Ask Jesus to baptize you in His Holy Spirit.  These 2 prerequisites will qualify you to DO Mark 16.)

Acts 2:3 TEV    They saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there.  They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other (unlearned/recognizable) languages, as the (Holy) Spirit enabled them to speak.  (Spiritual insight = They were speaking the Words/thoughts of God, not their own native words/language/thoughts!)

Woman who touched Jesus hem

Women who had Jesus bless their children

Fathers who sought Jesus to heal others

Putting bed down through roof

Woman who knocked on judge's door

Subtitle = Exploring Heavenly Realms and Prophetic Experiences   
This book is a must read for all Christians who are not yet personally experiencing the book of Acts.
It explains that as salvation is activated/obtained by an act of the will and of faith in Christ, so is healing, prophecy, dreams, visions and all the other aspects of the book of Acts.  Not only that, God wants and
expects us to hound/wrestle with Him until He blesses you, as did Jacob who wrestled with the angel
The supernatural world/nature has 5 senses, as does the natural.  We need to create a lifestyle of using
these 5 spiritual senses daily.  Bentley will mentor us.
This brings to mind the TV special where blind individuals by clicking their tongues can hear echos which tell them the location of objects.  This is called echolocation.  Bats and dolphins use this system.  In the human, this procedure activates the visual part of the brain, even though the eyeball cannot respond.  In other words, there a 2 visual sources.  One is from the eyeball.  One is from the ear.  Additionally, there can be one from touch.  What a marvelous body that God created.  Spiritual vision is of course not quite the same, but the end result is superior.  We read Scripture to understand God.   However, if we ask God, He will send the Holy Spirit to give us spiritual knowledge/wisdom/ understanding.  Spiritual insight does NOT depend on any human organ.  The spiritual man inside us contains any/all spiritual info downloaded by the Holy Spirit.  Thus we have human vision or spiritual vision.
Chapter 2 Levels of Prophetic Revelation shares a wonderful story from the ministry of John Paul Jackson headquartered in New Hampshire.   An old isolated man in Mexico was weeping before the Lord in hopes he could be used by Him.  God "transported" him spirit, body, soul to the bedside of Pastor Jackson and prayed for him, resulting in a needed healing for Jackson.  God did not send Jesus, an angel, or pastor to minister to Jackson, but a weeping old man.  You may have heard of this story before, but even so, how inspiring to the feeble nobodies, like you and me.

Chapter 1 Man Under Authority  "Peter said...in 2nd Peter 1, 'The Lord has already done it!'  He isn't going to do it someday.  In fact, the Bible tells us, God finished His work in 6 days, then rested.  Some of us have been trying to get God to work ever since!  He set it all in motion.  It was accomplished in Jesus Christ and is available to all who will receive it."

Introduction  "Many believers suffer unnecessarily because they fail to exercise their authority...Satan has been defeated through the cross.  Principalities and powers have been spoiled (Colossians 2:15).  We are enforcing this victory through our prayers.  We are executing the judgments written."

Jesus and Hagin had a chat where Hagin was informed that even though He (Jesus) had been handed by Father God the authority over demons, He (Jesus) had subsequently delegated that authority (to rebuke/bind/cast out) demons over to mankind - the church.  Bottom line.  Neither God nor Jesus will rebuke the devil, as it is now the responsibility of born-again Christians. excellent teaching

Hayes, Norvel                               God's Medicine of Faith - the Word       softcover           www.hnm.cc
There are 2 pills to take.  #1 to to believe and not be double minded.  #2 is to TALK as though our healing/answer/deliverance has already arrived.  Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the (legal) EVIDENCE of things NOT seen...God's WORD is the EVIDENCE and not our 5 senses.  All lies come from the enemy and those who believe him.  All truth comes from God and those who believe Him.  It is NEVER a lie to tell God's truth, even though it contradicts what the doctors say.
#3 "Unless we give out (to others), we will become stagnant and dead in our experience with God."
"God will NOT tell us to do anything that He will not qualify us to do."
"It's not how much we know, but how much we put into practice that really counts."  How much we believe and act on that belief.

Chapter 11 You Take Authority Over the Devil  "God wants you to learn to take authority over anything the devil tries to put on you...
Learn to take authority over things that buffet or oppress you from the outside the very moment you detect them...
If the devil has come to visit you in the form of disease, you can take authority over him (if you're born again by the Spirit of God).  You can pray and believe for your own healing.  Don't put your faith in somebody else; put your faith in the Jesus you read about in the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - and be healed.
Be mindful of the fact that you've got power and authority over the devil.  Jesus gave it to us when we got saved, 'Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.'  Luke 10:19...'God stops cancer,' you may say.  No, I mean how you and I stop it in Jesus' name...It's up to us to tell crippled legs, bad hearts, sick bodies, and empty pocketbooks to straighten out...People who ask, 'why do I have to resist the devil?  Why do I have to cast out devils?' are people who've...left the Jesus-kind of authority...Say, 'Devil, you turn this person loose.  I command you, in Jesus' name, to come out of him...I do it all the time, nearly every day.  And I know if I don't get the devil out of the person, it will kill them....Jesus isn't nice to the devil."
"Don't Listen to your body (or your negative feelings)...Your body lies (or is selfish)...I heard a little voice talking to me.  I knew it wasn't God because it was from my body.  My body rose up and said, 'I want a cigarette'...It started screaming...'I want one right now'...But I had to resist my body and its desires, just as I have to resist Satan and his suggestions.  I learned that the only way I could gain control over my body was to deny it, to make it serve me rather than for me to be a slave to it...Learn to say, 'No,' to disease just as you say, 'No,' to your body.  But remember don't go by what your body says.  When a disease tries to rest in your body, resist the disease and say, 'No; disease, I take authority over you, in Jesus name.  Come out of me!'"
Hayes, Norvel                               Training Camp for the Army of God    softcover       www.hnm.cc
"God...said...'I have a job for every one of them to do, IF they let Me mold them and train them...I have never made 2 faces alike; I have never made 2 mouth alike; I've never made 2 snowflakes alike; I have never made 2 personalities alike."
DEDICATE yourself. 
"I open my heart to You, Jesus.  I ask You to come and do a work in me (us/my mate, my children, my ministry).  Put me (us) through God's BOOT CAMP regardless of the cost.  Burn out the pride and embarrassment in me (us).  I (we) do not want to be ashamed of God (nor Him of me).  Satan has NO authority over me (us).  Satan, I command you, in Jesus' name, to take your hands off my (our) mind.  Go from me (us) in Jesus' name.  Jesus, I am willing to be trained.  I am willing to go through God's boot camp.  I want to see people healed and set free by the authority in me, as I speak in Your name and believe in my heart that You will perform Your works through me (us). 
I claim that I (we) will be made a warrior for God.  I (we) will go forth with holy boldness to obey the Gospel.  I (we) will not play games or play church.  I (we) will work for God.
God, change me (us) into another person, so that Your Spirit can go forth from me (us) to a world of darkness and set the captives free!"1.19.9
Hayes, Norvel                               Understanding the Ministry of Visions    www.nhm.cc
Chapter 5 Visions Can Impart Knowledge  "There's NO cheap way to victory.  You're going to have to pay the price to get it.  And I'm warning you.  If you don't pay the price, you're NOT going to get it.  I can't change it for you.  Neither can anybody else (another pastor/intercessor).  You're going to have to pray and change it yourself." 
[Paying the price would include things such as martyrdom, ongoing spiritual warfare (fasting, intercession, praying in tongues, praise and worship), plus sometimes torture/mental and physical abuse/imprisonment by opponents.]
"You AND the Holy Spirit CAN change that situation."

Chapter 3 Uzziah's Sudden Decline "When you're weak, it's normal to be humble, but when you become strong, look out...Uzziah was now strong, and suddenly (in pride/arrogance/self-sufficiency) he decided to do something that he was not qualified or authorized to do...You have to know your place (anointing/position/authority in God)."  This seems to be the biography of William Branham who went from a healing ministry to a teaching ministry, getting out of his anointing/assigned calling by God.  Additionally one needs spiritual intercessors and should never venture out alone.

MacMillan, John A    The Authority of the Believer   
http://www.billyebrim.org/products/the-authority-believer-audio-book-cd  audio book
"The authority of which we are speaking is the portion of every believer.  It is NOT a special gift imparted in answer to prayer, but the inherent right of the child of God, because of his elevation with Christ to the right hand of the Father.  He has become, through the rich mercy of God, an occupant of the Throne of the Lord, with all that it implies in privilege and responsibility.  This elevation took place potentially at the resurrection of the Lord and because of the believer's inclusion in Him.  The elevation is wholly of the wisdom and grace of the Father.  We do NOT 'climb the heavenly steeps' by any act of faith or devotion on our part.  It is ours simply to recognize the fact of this position, and to take our place in humble acceptance, giving all the glory and honor to God."
MacMillan, John A     http://www.pneumafoundation.org/article.jsp?article=/article_0027.xml
"The concept of the believer's authority was also taught in germinal form by (Arthur T.) Pierson's friend
A.B. Simpson, founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (Weekly, Apr. 23, 1938, 263) in an article entitled The Authority of Faith:"
"The word 'power' should be frequently translated 'authority,' in the New Testament. 'Behold, I give unto you authority,' Christ says, 'to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.'
He did not promise the disciples power first, but the authority first; and as they used the authority, the power would be made manifest, and the results would follow.
Faith steps out to act with the authority of God's Word, seeing no sign of the promised power, but believing and acting as if it were real. As it speaks the word of authority and command, and puts its foot without fear upon the head of its conquered foes, lo, their power is disarmed, and all the forces of the heavenly world are there to make the victory complete.
This was the secret of Christ's power that He spake with authority, prayed with authority, commanded with authority, and the power followed. The reason we do not see more power is because we do not claim the authority Christ has given us. The adversary has no power over us if we do not fear him, but the moment we acknowledge his power, he becomes all that we believe him to be. He is only a braggart if we will dare to defy him, but our unbelief clothes him with an omnipotence he does not rightly possess. God has given us the right to claim deliverance over all his attacks, but we must step out and put our foot upon his neck as Joshua taught the children of Israel to put their feet upon the necks of the conquered Canaanites, and faith will find our adversaries as weak as we believe them to be. Let us claim the authority and the victory of faith for all that Christ has purchased and promised for our bodies, our spirits, or His work.^"

Roberson, Dave            [PDF] The Walk of the Spirit - The Walk of Power   
subtitle = The Vital Role of Praying in Tongues
Chapter 2 My Personal Journey to Revelation Knowledge reveals the master key to remedy all maladies and to expose God's will for our lives.  That key is praying in tongues!  An old saying is, "God helps those who help themselves."  God has provided a way for us to help in our spiritual maturity.  The way is by praying in tongues.  Praying in tongues is the power switch that allows the Holy Spirit to minister to our human spirit.  We have control over our tongue.  Praying in tongues is to be spoken/sung daily - driving to work, cooking a meal, washing dishes/laundry, mowing/plowing the property, in the rest-room/lavatory/shower, waking up in the middle of the night, and (if need be) even under our breath at church during group hymns and recitations. Dave quit his job and spent 8 hours per day for 3 months in a prayer closet, praying in tongues.  It was a miserable experience, but at the end miracles began happening all around him. Certainly the unemployed/retired/bedridden and home/wheelchair/prison/hospital bound could copy that example, at least in some capacity!

Rogers, Eddie        Supernatural - Living Under an Open Heaven      www.revivalinpower.com
Prologue "Most Christians live in theory."  "Involve your faith pressing in for something now."  "Religion cant's keep me safe; only Jesus."  "The Kingdom work is often confrontational."
Chapter 2 An Open Heaven  "Certain individuals can carry a special authority (mantle) from God to open the heavens in localities."  It may cost "a great deal personally to go to the place of an open heaven."
Chapter 3 Overcoming Doctrinal Limitations  "Heresy hunters seem bent on destroying anything they cannot rationally explain or understand."  "Often seek the presence of God in the early morning hours...
The difference between releasing the Word with information and releasing the Word with power is intimacy with God...The difference between worldly mysticism and Christian mysticism is that one seeks to discover the inner self, while the other seeks to discover the inner Christ - the very portal of Heaven."
Chapter 4 Doin' the Stuff "The Holy Spirit...said, "I had a word for her, and you weren't listening." 
"To be used by God in miracles, signs and wonders on a consistent basis, it is imperative to have been baptized in the Holy Spirit....You need to be aware ...of the Holy Spirit's leadings, and then obey them precisely...exactly...when He says to do it...He has already made available to you everything you need...Realize it is His desire and plan to equip you completely, without lack in area, to do His will...
The opportunity to minister is available every time you walk out your door."
Chapter 5 Angels We Have Heard on High  "God has a calling, a destiny and a purpose for every soul that is born...So does Satan."  Immediate "obedience to God determines whether we completely, or partially, fulfill His plan...We must obey in the smallest details, whether we understand them or not."
God dreams are "a kind of night vision in which God simply speaks directly Spirit to (human) spirit."
Chapter 6 Out of Africa  Regarding prophet TB Joshua (Synagogue Church of All Nations, Lagos, Nigeria), God said, "This is the standard I've set for My church."  4 other mighty Africans are Ugandan Robert Kayanja, Samuel Vagalas Kanco (of Accra, Ghanna, Africa), S African Rodney Howard-Browne, South African Elijah Maswanganyi, and Uganda, African ron Ssali..
"Here in America, we counsel and drug our demons, rather than cast them out."  We need to "not compromise."  We need daily "a fresh baptism of His blood and anointing."  There is "a price involved to get...to that same level of power with God." The Holy Spirit is saying to us, "Allow Me to do in you what I did in him (them), and I will release through you, what I released in him (them)."  "Because God is a spirit, when He speaks, His words become law...God cannot do anything on earth without the cooperation of a human.  Man is God's legal agency and access to earth."
Chapter 7 Overcoming Ministry Paradigms - Whose Kingdom Are We Building?  "Knowledge without the experience is fruitless."
Epilogue  "The Longer the Preparation the Greater the Purpose"  "Don't anticipate your phone to ring off the hook...when you find yourself in the desert."  "Our voice has been silences that the voice of the Lord comes through with the greatest clarity...We have been hard of hearing...don't automatically assume that the wilderness is from the enemy...After His desert experience...He began His earthly ministry...A test...40 days or 40 years.  Only God knows the exact time required to prepare each of us for the power to accomplish His purpose...There is always a price to be paid for the anointing...called enduring the preparation."

Ballard, Yolanda 10/7/2007 roarnworship@cfl.rr.com Final Cry of the Hour - Will You Receive the Call?
"Determine in your heart this day the price that you are willing to pay to receive My anointing flowing through you freely.  Are you willing to give up those things that you have allowed to distract you from having My intimate presence, or will you continue to allow them to rule and reign in your life?  For this is the day that I am doing a work separating the men from the boys, that is those who are mature enough to say, 'No' to their flesh, those who are willing to say, 'No' to the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, and are willing to pick up their cross and follow Me.  This is the day that I am calling My loved ones to My side that they may be mighty, and that they may succeed in every work that I will call them to do. Nomore will they be called 'defeated,' but they will be called 'mighty conquerors, the righteous ones.'
Are you willing to pay that price? Are you willing to crucify your flesh so that you will have My resurrection power flow through you? Well, that’s what it will take this day and this hour. You can’t have both the satisfaction of appeasing your flesh and still have My anointing flowing freely.  You might have an occasional happening where I was able to use you, but that is not what it is all about. I want to be able to live My life through you. I want others to receive My love radiating through you at all times to set the captives free, to heal the sick, cleanse the leper and yes, to raise the dead, both spiritual and physical.
This is the time and the hour where I want to use your feet to carry My body to where I desire to go throughout the whole world. Yes, I want to wake up My body to the seriousness of the hour, for many will be left to the wayside because I was not able to use them in the great end time harvest of souls. Many will be brought into My kingdom by the multitudes as a result of the signs and wonders following My words flowing through My loved ones.  Yes, My great end time army will rise up and be strong and take over the land.  The enemy no longer will appear to be in control, because My people were willing to pay the cost. They were willing to pray that My will be done, My kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven.
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and repent of their wicked ways, then only then will I be able to hear their prayer and heal their land. If they continue to go the way that they’ve been going, they will dry up, they will lose desire for Me and My word.
For beware this is the day of the great falling away. You can’t both have Me and mammon, Me and the world, Me and serving your flesh.
There is a price to pay. Do you want it bad enough? Or is it something you think that you want? This is the hour of decision for I am calling forth My army of worshipers. I am ready to release My heart cry so that I can bring in the harvest and through you, My holy ones, I will travail, but you must be ready!  I am calling you this hour. Don’t let this call pass you by for this will be the greatest move of My Spirit ever, and I want you by My side! For I love every one of you, My precious ones. I am crying out to you this hour! Will you reply, 'Yes, Lord,' or will you let it pass you by?" http://www.etpv.org/books/HKI_Newsletter_11-07.pdf

Hinn, Benny  How to Pray for the Salvation of Your Lost Loved Ones #4  WATCH   1/31/2008   SEND TO FRIEND
The BEST of the best.  A MUST watch.  Reminds us of our authority in Christ and shows us how to go on the attack.
Explains that our loved ones cannot defend themselves; but that it is our responsibility to fight for them and NOT quit.
Notes that there is an evil spirit called the "mind blinder", over which we have authority.  We are to terrorize the terrorizer, capture the captor, oppress the oppressor, dominate the dominator, victimize the victimizer, torment the tormentor, intimidate the intimidator, and cripple the crippler.  We are to be like the offensive side of a football team, and attack the attacker, Satan.  We are NOT to sit back and ask God to do our work.  Christ already made us kings to reign and priests to intercede.  His work was done at Calvary.  Now in each generation our work is to use the powers and keys He obtained, through the Holy Spirit and in His Name, not forgetting to apply His blood on each specific individual that we name for whom we contest in battle.

Maddox, Jay    The Room of Total Abandonment   www.rareairministries.org   Jay@farmerstel.com http://www.etpv.org/books/HKI_Newsletter_11-07.pdf  
"The following vision occurred upon waking from an afternoon nap 10/19/2007. As I awoke I felt myself being transported somewhere else. I knew I was still in bed, but I also had the sensation of moving. As I was moving through darkness, I heard the Lord begin to speak. 'I have heard the cries from My chosen... My prophets. I have heard their pleas for “more” - more anointing, more power, more accuracy, more confirmation. I have seen some of My prophets begin to be downcast for what they term as a lack of power in their ministries and in their lives. They say to Me that the enemy’s power has seemed to increase, and they feel like in some areas they are being overwhelmed. My prophets are crying out for an ‘Elijah anointing,’ yet cannot understand why this hasn’t come.'  As the Lord paused, I began to see light ahead. I then noticed I was in a beautiful green valley heading upward toward an enormous castle on a mountain. I asked the Lord, 'What is this place?'  He replied, 'My castle'...As we entered in, we moved at great speed through the corridors, going past many, many rooms.  The Lord continued speaking as we moved. 'I will reveal to you a mystery today; a room very few of My chosen have ever discovered in My castle.' As we stopped, I saw what appeared to be a very, very small room ahead of us. I asked what was in this room. He said, 'This is the Room of Total Abandonment'...The Lord continued to speak, 'So many of my chosen reach high levels in Me - levels that enable them to do great things through Me in the spirit realms. Yet the vast majority cannot attain the ultimate levels of power and anointing, because they have never found this room. Some have found it, but could not enter in. Some have found it, but WOULD not enter in. But I tell you, in this small room contains the secret for great power.' I then noticed the door to the room. It was so small, I knew I couldn’t fit through it. I wondered how anyone could fit through it. The Lord, knowing my thoughts, replied, 'The only way to enter the door is to leave yourself outside'...Immediately, my eyes opened and I was back in bed, but the Lord continued to speak, 'Total abandonment to Me is the key so many are looking for. It is the last piece of the puzzle for many ministries to operate in total Elijah power. Many have THOUGHT they were totally surrendered, but I tell you, "NO." For it is a truth, the more you give of yourself to Me, the more I can give of Myself to you.' The Lord continued, 'Many will wonder how this surrender can take place...how to find this room. I tell you, KEYS to this room are being prepared even now to be distributed to My chosen. They will be delivered in various ways. Some by words of wisdom, some by visions, some by dreams, some by revelation knowledge, and even some by angels themselves, but all will contain what My chosen need to know for complete and total abandonment to Me and My will. When My chosen act on this, the very foundations of earth will be shaken with the outpouring of power and anointing I will release. Total Abandonment to ME is what I require.'”

There is a difference between spiritual power and spiritual authority.
Christ removed the authority from Satan which he had stolen from Adam and gave it back to man.
Spiritual authority, POA, power of attorney comes in degrees, as God can trust us.
Power Satan still has, but God's power is greater.  Satan's power will be stripped when Christ comes again.

Spiritual Dominion - Authority

STAKING A CLAIM
CONTENDING FOR ONE'S RIGHTS

Ruth 4:7,11 NKJV  7Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging to confirm anything. 
One took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel...11And all the people who were at the gate,
and the elders, said, "We are witnesses."

Hayes, Norvel                      The Number One Way To Fight The Devil         booklet      www.nhm.cc
The "Best of the Best" in applying the Word of God to the enemy as a sword.  Booklet shares how a couple (who, when at long last, applied 24/7 for 2 weeks the principle to quoting Scripture to God and especially quoting Scripture to the devil) obtained their hearts desire regarding their missing daughter..
Hayes, Norvel & Hayes-Cornelison, Zona                Stand in the Gap for Your Children       1991 booklet      www.nhm.cc
Chapter 2 God Dealt with Me to Love Zona More  "The Lord began to speak..."Your daughter is in so much darkness and her faith is so weak that she will never be able to get out of that darkness...Your faith has been wavering and it won't work...You have been wondering why I don't hurry up and do it...I have to be pleased with your faith before I can do what you are asking.  Stand in the gap for your daughter with an unwavering faith and I will come to her...You haven't been loving her right...I want you to tell her how much you love her."
Chapter 3 My Story  "If you do not want their blood on your hands, pray for them (your children) and confess the Word of God over them."
Chapter 5 The Long Road Back  "God has shown me (daughter Zona), that to seek His heart, you (the patient) have to pray for the mind of Christ, the heart of Christ, and the mouth (words/speech/thoughts) of Christ.  So do parents (who are praying for their children)...
have to have the total nature of Christ.  1st the heart of Christ, then the mind of Christ.  Next they have to get the mouth of Christ. 
When they get their (spoken) words lined up with God's Word, their children will come back into the Kingdom of God, as I did."
Chapter 7 How You Can Stand in the Gap for Your Children  "I (Norvel) had stood for 2 years thinking I was doing right...
God told me I had been wavering...Wavering faith doesn't please God.  To receive...you have to please Him...If you wonder when or try to reason how, you are in doubt...Believe God's Word and stand on it...Believe that you have it before you get it...Take control of your mouth...
Love and (do) NOT condemn...If you meet God's conditions for one who can stand in the gap, He has an obligation to perform His Word." 
It took another (a 3rd) year (of doing it right) for Norvel to show God (and Zona) that neither his faith nor his love were wavering.
Chapter 8 Prayers for parents. 
Prayer for one's own salvation includes renunciation: "I renounce my past life with Satan and close the door to any of his devices."
Prayer for child's salvation includes binding: In the name of Jesus, "Satan, I bind you and break your power over my child. 
You are a defeated foe.  I loose the angels of God to minister to my child.  I loose laborers to present Jesus Christ to my child. 
Holy Spirit, I ask that You draw my child to Jesus Christ and into a close, personal relationship.  Thank You, Lord...Amen."
Hayes, Norvel                                Confession Brings Possession                        booklet                www.nhm.cc
All God's promises belong to the believing Christian.  Whether we receive them or not is our choice.  God said, "My children do NOT obey that (scripture Mark 11:23).  They do not talk to the mountain.  They want to talk to Me about their mountains.  This is unscriptural." 
If Christians are ever going to have anything, they will need to speak things into existence, or they will not have them...Personalize scripture; substitute your personal words.  Regarding Mark 11:23 "Say to this mountain, 'Be removed;'"  instead say, "Cancer/aids/insanity, be removed, in the name of Jesus Christ"   Regarding cursing the fig tree in Matthew 21:21-22 Jesus taught Norvel, "If you will curse the roots of those growths on your daughter's body, they will die and disappear.  That is, if you believe and not doubt."
Jesus spoke again to Norvel, "All the promises of Mine are yours.  Tell the church, son, ALL the promises." 
"You can speak to confusion to go.  'Spirit of confusion, go from me.  You cannot live in my mind.  Confusion, you must go from me. 
I command you to be removed, in Jesus' name.  I am talking to you, spirit of confusion! (Depart and never return, in Jesus name.)'" 
1st Corinthians 14:33  God is not the author of confusion, but peace.
Open your mouth and claim your rights in Christ Jesus.  Why don't we have all the promises?  We need to take (wrestle) them away from the devil!  After praying or being prayed for, we need to continue to thank God and to continue to confess - to speak into existence what we need.  We must learn to speak TO our mountains/problems, to confront/bind Satan and loose things he has stolen, and to do these things for and by ourselves, depending on God's promises to be true.  Do not wait on God or a holy pastor.  God is waiting on you!  God is waiting on me!  We are the spiritual covering for our children!  Norvel (unwittingly) had allowed the devil to get the upper hand.

Brown, Tom     http://www.tbm.org/boldness_in_prayer.htm
"Reverend Kenneth E. Hagin said, 'A lack of understanding of righteousness holds more people in bondage than perhaps anything else. Not understanding righteousness almost cost me my life.'  Kenneth was BORN with a deformed heart, an incurable blood disease and became paralyzed (and bedridden). However, at the age of 16 the Bible gave him hope to be healed. He started to read the Bible and discovered that God answers prayers. As he crossed referenced the subject of prayer, he came to the passage in James 5:15 about the prayer of faith will save the sick. His heart leaped for joy because this is exactly what he needed to hear. As he continued to read, he came to the passage that says, 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.' (James 5:16, KJV).
He says the devil took advantage of his lack of understanding true righteousness. While he did not know it was the devil talking to his mind, he thought, 'Oh, no, I can’t pray the prayer of faith and be healed, because I am not a righteous man.' At that time he remembered all the bad things he did as a boy, and as he remembered his misdeeds he began to sob, 'Oh God, if I could only live longer I could perhaps become a righteous man someday.' But he feared it would be too late. He closed the Bible in discouragement.
Months later while being confined to his bed because of his illness, he tried the Bible again. He picked up
to the place where he last read and proceeded to read the next verse: 'Elias [Elijah] was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of 3 years and 6 months.' (James 5:17, KJV). He thought since Elijah was the example of a righteous man he would study him in the Bible. He was surprised in what he found out. He saw how on numerous occasions Elijah failed God, especially concerning Jezebel. Instead of being willing to confront her, he ran for his life in fear. The more Kenneth read about Elijah the more he noticed that he made mistakes like everyone else. Then it dawned on him what James said, 'Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are.' That was a fancy way of saying that 'Elijah was a man (vulnerable) just like us.'
At that point, Kenneth realized that being righteous is not the same as being sinless.
So he studied more about righteousness and discovered that through the blood of Jesus Christ all believers have become righteous in God’s sight. One scripture in particular helped him, 'God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.'
(2 Corinthians 5:21). He figured if he had become (in God's eyes) the 'righteousness of God' he could
not have a better righteousness. How can you get something better than God’s own righteousness? At this revelation [of how God perceives us when we apologize for our sins and ask His Son Jesus to reign in our lives (mind/body/spirit)], Kenneth Hagin in boldness told the devil to get his hands off his body, and claimed his healing. (Not immediately, but) a few months later all his symptoms disappeared and he was healed by the power of God. He continued to live out a long life until...the age of 86.
One of the greatest needs of the hour is to understand righteousness. So what is righteousness? It is
'right standing' before God. When a person stands trial in court and is pronounced 'not guilty,' then the person is in right standing before the judge and is released from the allegation, and all charges are dropped. This is what Christ did for us at the cross. By bearing all of our sins He took away the charges against us and nailed them all to the cross. www.dondickerman.net When we come to Christ and make
Him Lord, His righteousness becomes ours.
(God adopts us and we come into His spiritual blood line with all the legal benefits and inheritances of sonship.  Adoptive parents rarely ask a child for consent to join the family. It is Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection that qualifies us and provides our spiritual birth certificate into His spiritual family. 
We DO need to say, 'Yes; I believe; I receive this holy gift, right now.  Thank You Jesus.  Amen)...
Paul makes clear the differences between works and righteousness: 'Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.' (Romans 4:4-5). Notice that his faith is 'credited as righteousness'...You can be bold today by using your faith (a credit card) and use the credit that is in your account in heaven to receive the blessings now."

Some desperate or well monied individuals can chase every famous healer in his generation and yet NOT obtain the desired or "demanded healing".  Expectation is great if one looks to Papa God, but not so smart if one is looking to the mailman, the minister, the deliverer of God's word!  Anger and indignation is a red flag of our spiritual poverty and arrogance.  We are stepping on God's toes.  He is crying, "Ouch."  If we continue to seek the gift and NOT the giver or the mail man and not the Holy Sender, then we are no better than the prodigal son who insisted that he get his and get it NOW - up front. 
Consider your own sons, who tend to want your money and not you, who have an attitude of entitlement.
There is a fine line between greed and need.  Lord, we Your sons and daughters repent for our stinking thinking, our being unappreciative of our daily blessings, like sight when some do not have vision or eyes, like feet when some do not have limbs, like family when orphans have none, etc.  Lord, we kneel in shame and embarrassment.  Please forgive us.  Please reprogram our hearts to be in tune with Yours.  Holy Spirit and guardian angel we enlist Your daily help.  Thanks, thanks, thanks.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
