This year is your year of Praise, Victory, Joy, and Laughter (PVJL). We are praising God for his Providence, for his Personality in Christ, for his Power in the Holy Spirit, and for his presence in the Shekinah Glory.

God commands us to Praise him, praise him in the morning, praise Him in the noontime, praise him when the sun goes down – all the days of our life, as long as we have our being (Psalm 146:2).

We praise the Lord through singing because He is highly exalted! He can do the impossible! There is nothing that our God cannot do! He performs miracles! He uses our natural circumstances to accomplish his will! He crushes all human wisdom, knowledge, and Power, and the inventions of men into the sea.

We praise the Lord because he is our strength and our song! He has become our salvation! He is the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is our warrior, God! And His name is Jesus!

The greatest of men he drowns into the sea Because His right hand is majestic in Power. He overthrows those who rise up against him Because of his excellent greatness. His anger burns them like chaff.

Who is like unto our God, majestic in holiness,  awesome in praises, working wonders, And His faithfulness is to all generations

He will lead us to himself by his strength, Our enemies will hear and tremble, fear will grip them, they will be terrified, they will despair, terror and dread will fall upon them.

By the greatness of his arm, He will silence them until he brings us into our inheritance, where he dwells, And we shall reign forever with him, hallelujah! ( Exodus 15:1-18)

Please, allow the Holy Spirit to be your Supreme Guide

Some Tips:

1. Before you embark on this prayer trip, Confess and forsake every known and unknown sin to the Lord: the sin of idolatry, immorality, greed, selfishness, unforgiveness, lies, gossip, cheating, lust, etc. Ask the Lord to empower you by his Spirit to forsake all these works of the flesh in your life, in your family, in your community, in your city, in your state or country, in Israel, in Jerusalem, and in all nations of the world.
2. Repent for any failures in your life by not doing the Lord’s work as you should have done. Repent also for the sins of the church in your community, city, country, and the world, that God will be merciful and send us a great revival, that no flesh can deny his love, power, grace, mercy, and the truth of his existence and glory.
3. Offer your body, soul, and Spirit to the Lord as your living sacrifice, everything that you are, have, and hope to offer it to him, your time, your substance, your resources, your finances, your knowledge, wisdom, intellect, emotions, strength, and everything. Ask the Lord for grace, mercy, and power to live for Him in holiness, serve him faithfully, and do his will completely.
4. Tell your God in prayer out loud, “Lord God, I count myself dead, zero, nothing, not existing to sin anymore, but I am alive, living, existing 100% to you in Christ Jesus by your Spirit which lives in me. From today onwards, I am your righteousness, and I am committed to pursuing your holiness by renewing my mind daily with your holy Word enjoying your love, joy, peace, and power in the Holy Ghost” (Gal.5:16-22 & I Cor.12-14).
5. Finally, by faith ask the Father to give you the gift of the Holy Spirit, wait on him by meditating on Psalm 119, and by the time you will finish meditating on the Psalm you will be filled with the Holy Spirit. Just yield yourself, open your mouth, and start saying whatever comes to you, speak it out, declare and praise the Lord. (Please, contact DMI if you receive this experience so that we can praise the Lord together with you).

Spiritual Warfare

To Perform Spiritual Warfare and Cast Out

evil spirits, demons, witchcraft, principalities, powers, rulers of the dark world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.

1. Put on by faith the weapons of your warfare by making the following confessions aloud:
   1. By the faith of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
   2. I put on the whole armor of God, and I can stand against the deceptions of the devil.
   3. I confess that I love and speak the truth of God’s Word who is Yeshua Hamashiach, my Lord
   4. I confess that I am clothed with God’s righteousness by faith
   5. I confess and forsake any known sin (mention any known sin by name, mention any word that comes to your mind or heart or mouth as sin, including impure thoughts, slander, lies, lusts, gluttony, and unknown sins to Christ
   6. I sprinkle the blood of Yeshua over my body. My body is the temple of God totally yielded to his worship and service
   7. I confess that I am ready to share the gospel with others by the faith of my Lord Jesus Christ
   8. I confess that I am crucified with Christ and I live by the faith of Christ that is in me
   9. I nullify any negative thought or idea that may come to my mind as I pray in Jesus’ name!
   10. I confess with my mouth that Yeshua is my Lord and Savior.
   11. I believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Therefore, I know I am saved according to Romans 10:9,10
2. Now identify any negative thoughts that may have come to your mind or heart or feeling or any fear that you may have as you pray any of the prayer points 1 through 21 above, during your own prayer words and pray against those negative thoughts or force, or Power, or wickedness, or fear, or any occurring worldly system in your environment, or territory, or nation, or spiritual ruler, or demons, or witchcraft, or the devil himself – Satan, any idea that may be working against your prayers or against the will of God.
3. Bind them by name and root them out and place them under the feet of Jesus. E.g. “I bind the wicked spirit of covid-19 with the right hand of God, with the blast of his nostrils, I cast you the spirit of covid-19 out and dump you into the red sea in the name of Jesus Christ, be gone, be vanquished in Jesus Name! Amen!” Now interject this with thanksgiving and praises to God for the victory.
4. Wait for spiritual guidance under each main idea – You are praying in the Spirit, therefore intermittently be quiet and listen to the Holy Spirit. Most times a feeling of peace or boldness or confidence can be a sign of victory. A feeling of uncertainty or doubt should be counteracted with more prayer and casting and binding until you know that it is done. The Spirit will drop ideas for praise and prayer into your mind or circumstance or as you read these pages, be persistent in prayer, supplicating for all believers’ welfare
5. Pray for each person by name on this team (look for an attachment) that each of us will be given the spiritual gift and blessing to boldly make known the mystery of the gospel to this generation and the next!!
