6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have aredemption through his blood, the bforgiveness of sins, according to the criches of his dgrace;
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all awisdom and bprudence;
9 Having made known unto us the amystery of his bwill, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the adispensation of the fulness of times he might bgather together in one call things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being apredestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who afirst trusted in Christ.

Prayer for Finances
Father, In JESUS Name, I bind all demons that would cause me to have job failure or money failure. I bind all demons that would keep me from receiving all money, possessions, inheritance, jobs, promotions, bonuses or raises that are rightfully mine. In JESUS Name, I command the demons to return these to me sevenfold. Father, I ask that you send your angels out to gather these and bring them to me in JESUS Name. I loose the blessings of Deuteronomy 28 upon me in JESUS Name. Amen.
WARFARE IN THE HEAVENLIES
1. We wrestle against spiritual forces not against flesh and blood.
2. This is an organized kingdom with delegated authorities, world rulers and wicked spirits.
3. We must sound the trumpet, clothe ourselves for battle, take up our spiritual weapons, know our enemy, and attack.
4. Satan has limitations, methods of attack, and schemes. He temps us, accuses us, and deceives us.
5. Methods for disarming the strong man include researching the past, repenting of all sins, forgiving all others, recognizing God's purpose, ministering with compassion, praying with all prayer, and speaking to the mountain.
6. The boot camp of spiritual warfare is in our local churches, working with the sheep, and ministering deliverance to them one by one.
7. Ground level warfare is casting demons out of people. Strategic level warfare is coming against territorial spirits.
8. God sets the battle plan.
9. We have the authority to pull down strongholds. It was given to The Twelve, The Seventy, and to The Church.
10. The warfare should be led by those who have spiritual jurisdiction over their territory.
11. We should pull down strongholds. We should bind and loose.
12. Christ's Church, through the exercise of her authority, can change the course of history.
13. You should continue in spiritual warfare until victory comes. Be prepared to wrestle with the enemy. Keep your faith. Remain steadfast in prayer and spiritual warfare.
14. Our strength in the Lord is derived through spiritual exercises: daily prayer and Bible Study, fasting, fellowship with other believers, praise, worship, our testimony, and walking in holiness.
15. We are dealing with principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenlies.
16. Wickedness includes perverseness, greed, witchcraft, occult, cults, false religions, New Age Religion, etc.
17. We must forgive everyone no matter what they did to us.
18. We must sanctify ourselves as individuals, and cleanse the Church corporately.
19. After we have cleansed ourselves, we simply speak to the principalities and powers in the authority of Jesus' Name.
20. Put aside jealousy, doctrinal questions, and other factors that separate Christians and churches from each other. Pull down ignorance, fear, and prejudice.
21. Help those who are bound by blindness, disease, poverty, and fear in the mental, physical, spiritual, and material areas.
God said: 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).
Seated in heavenly places, far above evil, having power over the enemy, we bind and cast down the demonic chain of command: Might, Thrones, Nobles, Kings and Princes over Kingdoms, Principalities, Dominions and Powers, Generals, Rulers, Captains, Centurions and Strongmen, Rulers of Darkness of this World and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places.
We use every verse in the Holy Bible that wars against the demonic forces. We bind and loose spirits. We command civil war in Satan's Kingdom. We loose the Love of God, Price that Jesus Paid, Holy Spirit, Word of God, Blood of Jesus and Cross of Jesus against the forces of evil. All these things we do in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Master and Savior, and for the Holy Trinity.

Through the Storm
"So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as he said.' " (Acts 27:25)
Sometimes we may think that when we're in the will of God, it will be smooth sailing. But many times it is just the opposite. Doors slam in our faces. Obstacles appear in our paths and storms arise that threaten to drive us off course.
That is why we need to remember there is a devil who wants to stop us from doing what God wants us to do.
As the apostle Paul was on his way to do the will of God, he hit some tough times. An incredible storm arose that caused the people in his boat to despair of their lives. But there was no obstacle big enough to stop Paul. He always seemed to rise above his circumstances.
As he went through the storm, he knew God had shown him what to do, and he would let nothing deter him from that course.
When a hard time hits, when a crisis hits, when a tragedy hits, we often want out. We ask God for an airlift out of our problems.
But many times, God wants us to learn in the midst of them. Romans 8:35--37 says, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? . . . No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us" (NIV). Notice the phrase, "in all these things." It isn't saying we won't face some of these things. But it says that in them we are more than conquerors.
If you are seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. But also expect God to see you through.

Thankful Thursday
A few weeks ago I decided to name today Thankful Thursday-just because everyone has something to be thankful for-even if it doesn't stick, I just want to say that I am thankful for my friends on Eons,and especially AMLD-for you prayers, PM, concern, and love you've sent my way since I've been under the weather.
