24. Pray With Us
© Daniel Yordy – 2020The turning of the ages is upon us. We have no recourse; either we fight, or we die. And if we die while fighting, then we die in faith, “going out with our boots on,” as is said.
For we do walk inside of the flesh, but we do not wage war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but are God-enabled towards the tearing down of fortresses, overthrowing arguments, and every high thing or barrier lifting itself up against the knowledge of God and taking captive every thought into submission to hearing Christ, inside of your possession of readiness to dispense justice to all who hear amiss, even when your own submission to hearing has been made full (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
And I heard a great voice in heaven saying: Now have come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night. And they have overcome him through the blood of the Lamb, and through the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their souls unto death (Revelation 12:11-12).
Protect the Church. That’s our task, the task of the Lord Jesus Christ who fills our hearts with all of His passion.
I am writing the Zoom meeting video series, After My Own Heart, with the same purpose as A Highway for God, that we might engage ourselves with the authority and expectation of God through us, entering into the knowledge of all inside this present world.
I have been a dreamer all my life, and out from such a mind, I am well able to envision you and me in this role of Christ through us, that of the mighty casting down of all that opposes the word of Christ our life.
I have been a practical man all my life, and out from such a mind I insist on a practical application of how we DO what is set before us, entirely through faith and not through any human performance.
I have taught you the three “How’s” of the gospel, to speak Christ made personal as you, the how of Christ our only life, to ask and believe all that God speaks and to receive it as fulfilled, the how of our boldness inside the Holiest, and to give thanks in weakness, expecting God to arise, the how of our going forth in confidence – cross, blood, and resurrection.
And I have established our authority given us by God, an authority that has no limitation inside our world, an authority God depends upon before He can move. This authority has grown in certainty inside of me, a simple and quiet faith, with no dependence on any human ability.
As an amateur student of battle strategy, I understand the mind of the Mighty Warrior with whom we stand ready. This is His fight for the sake of His Bride, and we are His body, sharing the same form with Jesus in every expression and synergeoing together with God in all intentions and determination.
An essential part of that strategy is that we remain weak and unknown. No one is looking down; no one is expecting a mighty assault from beneath, an assault coming out from such human failures as we have proven to be.
No one is expecting a Kingdom of Love rising from beneath of them, lifting them up into LIFE.
I refuse to sit around inside of “what if’s.” I refuse to entertain the sad thought of “we had hoped.” I refuse to be sidetracked by my limitations, as good and godly as they are. I will DO what God has given us to do, and I will do it with you.
What we CAN DO is agree together in full expectation of faith, together as believers and together with our Father, KNOWING that the authority is in our hands, in Christ Jesus now living as us. If that is all we can do, it is sufficient. Let’s agree together.
Not everyone can attend the Zoom meetings on Sunday mornings. Nonetheless, I want you to join with us in prayer and in the expectation of God each weekend for the next seven weekends. It doesn’t matter if it’s the exact same time as our Zoom meeting; anytime on each weekend will be sufficient. Yet we are not “weekend warriors,” and so continue in full expectation of total victory all through the week, anytime your mind tends either towards the darkness of this world or the needs of God’s people or the determination of Father’s Heart.
We fight ONLY the right battle, the battle given to us. And when it is time to fight, we give ALL in all ferocity of faith, nothing held back. And if bad things happen to us in our human lives, we do not slow down, we fight and fight and fight in full expectation of faith.
Protect the Church. Cast down all that opposes her. Keep her safe in this hour of her greatest need. – And I am speaking of all who belong to Jesus all across the planet, more than 100 million people, our brethren, the delight and joy of our lives.
This Sunday on Zoom, we will pray the following prayer together, join with us in your own best time. Distance and time mean nothing inside of God. Each Sunday starting August 23, we will pray together against each of the seven demons binding the ears of God’s people, preventing them from knowing the glorious salvation in which they already live.
All that follows is drawn from the several letters in which I wrote concerning these things. I include the description of the demonic power first, and then the prayer of our triumph and victory.
What we are doing is rejecting Adam’s choice, a choice we once participated in. And because we have known every one of these things, we know that we are able to stand in before God for the entire human race, but especially for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Let our true repentance, turning fully to Christ, be the firstfruits for all.
Let our confidence in God through us be the victory of all.
By this we have known love, because He set forth His soul for us, AND WE ALSO are committed to setting forth our souls for our brothers and sisters (1 John 3:16).
~~~
“Father, I stand together with other precious believers in Jesus here inside the Blood of Your Son in full measure, sprinkled upon our hearts. We together live only inside of Jesus and Jesus inside of us because we are fully confident that the cross of Christ keeps sin and death far away from us. As we stand together in this confidence, we know that the Holy Spirit is always flowing out from our hearts together to set your people free.
“Father, it is Your precious people, the beloved of the Lord Jesus, who are the passion of our hearts as well. It is our brethren for whom we lay down our lives, that they might know the Jesus of their hearts, that they might live inside of all Salvation. We understand the darkness blocking them in unbelief, yet we value far more the healing of their hearts to know You.
“Father, we stand together, taking all authority You have given to Jesus, now living in us and as us, and we direct that authority against the demon spirits who are sleeping inside your church, turning their ears and their mouths away from the speaking of Christ. We possess all the authority of Christ, Your Purpose and Intention, and by our words, they must flee.”
Seal 1: Arrogance (August 23, 2020).
Demon Seal # 1. The mental image of the super-Christ, which image they have titled, “God the Son,” but have cast in their imaginations as a limited and bounded humanoid demigod, far away from us and fairly irrelevant, a someday and Tantalizing “Jesus,” who is always just beyond their reach and who requires of them a Sisyphean task which they can never actually accomplish, as they endlessly repeat John Valjean’s song, “the unending road to Calvary” (Les Misérables – the musical).
Arrogance as a Closed and Locked Door: A profound sensation of self-identity best described as aggrieved superiority rooted in the accusation that God should have made me better; a profound lust for superiority, whether in earthly things or heavenly things; the imaginings that cast Jesus as “superior” and “perfect” in outward expression and “God” as one who knows evil.
Humility as a Wide-Open Door: The complete and joyous acceptance that I am, as I am, the image and revelation of a God who shows Himself through weakness; the full surrender to Jesus that He is the One actively entering into union with all that is me; the sweet fellowship of Father with me in all things; the acceptance of my present circumstances as all goodness.
“Lord Jesus, come into me to be the only life I am, for I live only inside of You. Lord Jesus, I receive every Word God speaks as You in Person written upon my heart. Lord Jesus, You make me part of a Symmorphic God and You make God, my Father, part of me. Lord Jesus, I am just like You in all ways except honor. And Lord Jesus, I turn and speak the same thing into all who are inside of my daily world; I call You into their knowledge as well, that each one might know You as their life and sustainer. Even so, Come, Lord Jesus.”
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we cast down the demon of the image of the super “Christ,” this faraway and above-you image our brethren hold in their minds and call “Christ.” You false image, we cast you down with all your argument. You have no more place in our brethren.
“Father, in the place of this false image, we open the eyes of our brethren to see Jesus alone, the Jesus of their hearts.”
Note: As you pray concerning the false image of the super-Christ being replaced by the true image of the Jesus of our hearts, take your prayers and your thoughts through the week in the direction of the replacement of arrogance in the church with the humility of Christ. The entrance of God is always “He humbled Himself.”
Your power in this prayer is God through you, not you yourself. God made us weak; we don’t have to accomplish anything. Yet God placed all authority into our hands, and He placed the speaking of His word into our mouths. All through the week, then, keep in your mind the thought that God IS moving in power simply because you are synergeoing with Him in all expectation of faith.
Mighty things are taking place. We do not need to see them nor even to be recognized by anyone. Mighty things are taking place.
Seal 2: Contempt (August 30, 2020).
Demon Seal # 2. A contempt for other Christians including the role of ministries in setting themselves “over” their congregations. Making use of Bible verses to wage war against and to condemn others, even though they also believe in Jesus. Controlling the flesh of other Christians by misusing the law and the “cross.” Seeing the church as a failed experiment, a temporary blip on their path to superiority.
Contempt as a Closed and Locked Door: The lens through which aggrieved superiority views all other humans; that which places self “up” by viewing others as “inferior”; includes contempt for self as it comes out from the same sensation that “I ought to be better”; the cause of all war, theft, and murder.
Respect as a Wide-Open Door: The complete and joyous receiving of other believers as the Lord Jesus Himself; the expression of lifting others up in honor and esteem; the demonstration of little acts of kindness and gentle words of encouragement as the expressions of God.
“Lord Jesus, I receive my brothers and sisters in just the same way that You receive me, with all regard and joy. Lord Jesus, I know that You fill my heart with Your overwhelming passion towards and tender regard for each individual person. I don’t have to “feel” that to know it is true. And so, Lord Jesus, I am willing to allow You to receive others through me. I am willing, Lord Jesus, to take all my fellow Christians with me into union with Christ, to see them as You, to see them complete and whole, with no consciousness of offense. Lord Jesus, I see and speak that, just as I enjoy union with You, so do all my brothers and sisters, that just as I know that You are living as me, so I know that You are living as them. I am aware of their ignorance of God, yes, and of their continued faltering, but it makes no difference, for I know that You are their life and You do all things well.”
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we cast down the demon of arrogance and contempt ruling in the Church of Christ, all thinking that “my gift makes me above you,” in the minds of all who belong to You. You false spirit of self-righteousness, we cast you down with all your fakery. You have no more place in the minds of our brethren.
“Father, in the place of this arrogance, we open the hearts of our brethren to know a God who is meek and lowly of Heart and who always carries them.”
Note: I am aware that there are many who participated in move community with me, who, having also left, have no interest in my prayers of redemption towards those in that fellowship nor in finding Christ Jesus their only life through every moment of their experience.
Judgment against all those “false Christians” rules in the ruined heart of so many fellow believers. Yet I know with all certainty that “every knee shall bow” MEANS that every human WILL give thanks together with every other human with whom they interacted inside every moment of their lives. Everyone WILL FACE, eye to eye, those whom they offended AND those who offended them. Everyone will ask forgiveness, and everyone will grant forgiveness. And in each differing circumstance, all will give thanks together.
This is the account all will give. I am convinced that my sharing of my life story is a firstfruits of Christ in the unveiling of His redemption of all.
Seal 3: Dishonor (September 6, 2020).
Demon Seal # 3. All limitation of the Atonement. Any idea that the old has not passed away and that the new has not already fully come. Any consciousness of sins. Any suspicion that all did not die inside the one death of Christ. Any doubting that the Blood upon their hearts commands the universe inside of love. Any singing of “the unending road to Calvary.”
Dishonor as a Closed and Locked Door: The effort to place a measurement upon the Atonement of the Lord Jesus, exercised in order to maintain one’s sense of aggrieved superiority and its consequent license to treat others with contempt; the bringing of reproach upon the Atonement in order to maintain a sensation or outward appearance of control over others deemed inferior.
Honor as a Wide-Open Door: The full embracing of the Atonement of the Lord Jesus as absolute and profound, as all-encompassing, unlimited, and finished; the expression of standing firm upon that Atonement as the ONLY place our steps can walk.
“Lord Jesus, I place myself before You in complete silence, awestruck inside the absolute finality and the infinite breadth of the Atonement that You are, inside of and towards all created beings, each one in their season. Lord Jesus, I place You as my utter connection with God, for You always live to make me part of my Father and He part of me. I allow You, Lord Jesus, to connect me with God All-Carrying as One who shares everything of life together with me. Out from Your UNLIMITED Sacrifice, then, Lord Jesus, I see all my brethren in Christ as already complete, already just like You in all ways, already the revelation of Father through them. I am aware that such completion does not appear outwardly, but I give outward appearance no heed, for I know that You are Faithful and True, that You are Savior and all-Salvation.”
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we cast down the demon that limits the Atonement in the thinking of our brethren, this demonic “wisdom” that teaches that the sacrifice of Jesus is not enough, something more is needed. You false limiter, we cast you down with all your intellectual explanations. You have no more place in the thinking of our brothers and sisters.
“Father, in the place of this limitation, we plant the knowledge of one sacrifice for sins forever all through the knowing of their minds and the speaking of their mouths.”
Note: As you pray these prayers through this week, continue in a praise celebration in your own heart towards the absolute Atonement of the Lord Jesus regarding your own glorious Salvation. As you do, extend the same praise celebration out over the hearts of all who belong to Jesus all across this earth.
Seal 4: Death (September 13, 2020).
Demon Seal # 4. Death. The pursuit of death, the false image of “heaven” as Salvation, the endless waiting for a “someday” Jesus. The mindless expectation of a “rapture” in the face and worship of the beast. The fervent religious belief in a “God” who knows good and evil and who has created a universe split between good and evil forever.
Death as a Closed and Locked Door: The extreme conclusion of arrogant superiority and contempt, that since the Atonement of Jesus is not enough, something far greater is needed to attain to the lust for “above-ness,” and that is the elimination of human flesh, my weakness gone; the greatest accusation against God in existence, that is, “only death can connect me with ‘God.’”
Love as a Wide-Open Door: The liking of others; the simple delight of others in their persons and in their expressions; tender and passionate affection; setting forth one’s soul for others, that, in the midst of personal confusion and pain, they and Father can come together inside one’s heart; the very DOORWAY of God.
“Father, I am coming out from You, from Your wondrously blessed thoughts concerning me, as Jesus speaks those thoughts and You become part of my every moment. And Father, my only view forward now is You among us believers together as all our connections together, God-Love always the only thing among us. For that reason, Father, as I look at the people around me in my world, I see that they also are coming only out from You, and that You carry them utterly inside Your stumbling Son, even including all their sin and shame. And Father, just as I see Christ as all their Completion, so I see You as their only Source. Oh, my Father, how I would share Hheart with You! I believe, and I know that I do.”
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we cast down the demon that places death as the answer to the Christian “dilemma.” We break the false covenant with death our brethren have made and by the power of the Mercy Seat, we set them free to know only You, the only knowing that is LIFE. Death, you are defeated; death you are cast down.
“Father, in the place of death, we give You, that they might know You alone.”
Note: Our brethren all across the earth are trudging forward, heads down, in the expectation of death, believing that all that is “God” is only for them after they are dead. They are also submitting blindly to the lies of this world that want to entangle them in the kingdom of the Beast.
We are truly in a fight for life against death. Believe God-with-you in full assurance of faith.
Seal 5: Refusal (September 20, 2020).
Demon Seal #5. Refusal to enter the Holiest. Refusal to place all sin and sinfulness upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Refusal to live only inside of God. Refusal to put the Lord Jesus Christ upon themselves. Weeping and wailing over sin and over the sins of others in an abject refusal to give thanks. The definition of themselves that God is “testing” them. The singing of “the unending road to Calvary.”
Refusal as a Closed and Locked Door: The innate rejection of God here, God now, and God with me; the closing of eyes and ears against the good speaking of Jesus sustaining all; a false ‘humility’ based on aggrieved superiority; Christian unbelief that allows the Christian rebellion of dishonesty.
Faith as a Wide-Open Door: The simple act of receiving what God says as the only thing right and true; the turning away from all outward seeing and judgment and the turning to the good speaking of Christ as the only thing by which all things exist, and especially, me, personally.
“Father, I know that as I receive the Lord Jesus into my heart as every Word that You speak, so I know that I am entering into You, to live only inside of You, and that You are entering into me to share life together with me. Father, Christ who is Your Heart, lives also inside of my heart because I am confident that He does. There, my Father, I know that I share Hheart with you, that our desire is one. Father, I know that Your Love is poured out and shed abroad in my heart through our precious Holy Spirit whom You have given so freely to me. And Father, I know that, in sharing Hheart with you, our Hheart goes out in deep yearning over every single person, first inside Your Church, and second, into all creation.”
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we cast down the demon of unbelief that keeps our brethren from stepping through the wide-open veil to live only inside of Christ. You false accuser, that anoints their imagination that they are “always falling short,” we cast you down. Your weeping and wailing have no more place in the Church of Christ.
“Father, in the place of refusal, we take our brethren by the hand and run joyfully with them into all the fullness of God.”
Note: This prayer this week is the opening of the Doors of Tabernacles, a mighty rushing into the knowledge of God in the Holiest, millions of believers in Jesus rejoicing in all the Salvation of God.
All through this week, hold these Doors open inside your confident expectation of faith. You are accomplishing far more in the heavens than you can know right now.
Seal 6: Dishonesty (September 27, 2020).
Demon Seal # 6. All hiding and pretending. All boasting in self, that “I am seeking the will of God,” that “I will do His will and not my own.” All arrogant self-righteousness. All masquerade of faces. All lying and dishonesty. All exaltation of human so-called “obedience.” All identification with this world. All drinking of the lies of the world. All worship of human government and expertise.
Dishonesty as a Closed and Locked Door: The spinning of identities of self in denial of the good speaking of Christ; the attachment of self-identity to anything and everything in this world; the enclothing of “self” with rightness; the outward garbs of superiority and contempt.
Honesty as a Wide-Open Door: The absence of any need to pretend, but rather, in its place, the sheer delight in being human as God made us. The lack of any “need” to be something in self, but rather, in its place, the profound joy of knowing that God shows Himself with and through my weakness.
“Father, I know that I am always coming out from Your thoughts concerning me, through the good-speaking of Jesus. I know that every aspect of my human person, as I find myself to be, is an expression of Your character and personality. Therefore, Father, I accept that my every circumstance and situation, my every stumbling step, is You with me, sharing my life with me and sharing Your travail with me for the sake of others, for each one who belongs to Jesus. Father, I receive You always into my soul, as part of me, no matter how awful I feel. And Father, I receive my brother or sister into my heart, no matter how offensive I imagine them to be. And here, inside our wide-open Hheart, Father, we set them free inside of You.”
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we cast down the demon that offers every mask of pretending, every rock or tree to hide behind, every excuse that thrusts sin into the space between the Christian and God. You dance of faces, we cast you down in Jesus name. No Christian remains for you to offer your masks.
“Father, in the place of the masks, we give our brethren one face to wear, the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, faithful and true, and they made real and whole, complete inside of Him.”
Seal 7: Accusation (October 4, 2020).
Demons Seal # 7. All accusation against God. All accusation that God lies. All accusation that God knows evil. All accusation that God is in charge of or causes or brings forth evil. All accusation that God made them falsely. All muttering inside the refusal to be guilty and executed. All unthankfulness. All accusation that they are not coming out of the good speaking of Jesus every moment. All accusation that God is not leading them in triumph, embedding their every step inside of love. All accusation that God has separated Himself from them and does not share every part and every moment of their lives with them.
Accusation as a Closed and Locked Door: The one action humans can wield against God; the words of heart, mouth, and mind that condemn God for falseness in not creating me superior; the speaking against the good speaking of Christ; cursing God by cursing self.
Thankfulness as a Wide-Open Door: The primary action that we do in speaking good grace into and for the sake of all, the practical means by which we encourage and lift up one another and by which all are defeated who yet remain in opposition to God; being the image of God.
“Father, I give You all thanks for my lowly frame, for You have made me to be filled with all that You are. Father, I gladly join with You in walking beneath of others, lifting them up, for Your sake, because I value Your Heart above all things, that I might live every moment of my life forever only there. Father, I see through Your eyes, I see through eyes of Fire, that Fire that changes everything into life and goodness. Therefore I judge all things into life, not flippantly, but in the full bearing of all cost as Christ Jesus now sharing Himself with and as me. I am a member of Your Body, my Father, reveal Yourself as the All-Carrying One through my brothers and sisters with me together. Father, be God-Love through me; it is so.”
“Father, in the name of Jesus, we cast down the demon of accusation out from the minds and mouths of our brethren. We cast down all accusation against God, against themselves, and against others. You accusing devil, your time is finished; flee the Church of Christ into your chains.
“Father, in the place of accusation, we show our brethren the silence of all that opposes and the joy of thanksgiving, knowing Christ Jesus as the only story of their lives.”
~~~
Casting down the accuser is for the sake of the Church, God’s people all across the earth. As we stand together in faith, be assured that all the powers of heaven are rushing into the fray and that mighty things of God are being released that have never before been known.
