Day 1 of 10 Days of Prayer
10 Days Of Prayer — August 28 – September 6
D. Karl Thomas
Day 1 … I’m going to hit with my favourite teaching on prayer. It is a long one to start this season of prayer. Please engage this with me and we will together shift the cosmos!
Jesus is teaching His disciples about the shift that is about to take place in how the world is governed spiritually. He wants them to understand that they will walk in whole new realm of power and authority. It isn’t going back to the way it was with Adam. They will be taken into a new realm of Kingdom privilege that never existed before.
Just hours before He is arrested He teaches them a brand new way to pray.
John 14:13-14 “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
John 15:16 “…that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”
John 16:23-24 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”
Something is about to shift in the cosmos and it will affect you in a big way. For the first time ever … you will have dominion that can never be taken from you. Your right to rule … your right to determine what concerns you … your right to call heaven to earth has been established in me … it will not be taken from you again!!!
I am going to restore to you the open deed, the right to rule and reign on earth, through redemption in my blood!!!
You have the legal right move the good things of God from heaven to earth when you align your will with God’s will. Your will moves God’s will from heaven to earth. Nothing good happens unless you pray.
Let me show this spiritual principle in the Old Testament and show you how it applies to your current authority and prayer “in the Name Of Jesus!”
Jeremiah was locked up in the ground … holding cell … king mad at him for prophesying the doom of Israel.
BUT Now He prophesies restoration and beyond … And is commanded to back it up with a prophetic act.
Jeremiah 31:38-40 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. The surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath. And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”
Jerusalem … It is at those dimensions now!!! Today in our time 2014!!!
Jeremiah 32:6-17 “And Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’ Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. So I bought the field from Hanamel, the son of my uncle who was in Anathoth, and weighed out to him the money—seventeen shekels of silver. And I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the money on the scales. So I took the purchase deed, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open; and I gave the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the purchase deed, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison. “Then I charged Baruch before them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Take these deeds, both this purchase deed which is sealed and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.” For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.”’ “Now when I had delivered the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying: ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.
Jeremiah says, “Lord why did I do that? I don’t understand why I redeemed what appears to be useless land.”
The time, right now, between here and eternity matters. You are called to reign in life!!!
Jeremiah 32:25-27 And You have said to me, O Lord God, “Buy the field for money, and take witnesses”!—yet the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’” Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
God is telling Jeremiah that the Chaldeans may have the land now but I am going to redeem that land and restore it to my people through the right of redemption.
Jeremiah I want you to show as a prophetic act that you agree with the word of the Lord
As a prophetic act … buy the land … put your money where your mouth is!!!
This is a system established by God. It has spiritual implications.
An uncle had purchased the land to get money to Jeremiah’s family … Jeremiah had the right to get it back both by redemption and by inheritance.
The word of the Lord was, redeem the land, it is yours by inheritance but I want you to redeem the land.
Jesus was not going to wait until the end when He could get everything back by inheritance. He wanted it restored now through redemption!!!
2 Rights:
1. Right of Redemption — I can buy the land back at any time. Before Jubilee.
2. Right of Inheritance — The land will come back to me at Jubilee no matter what.
2 Deeds:
1. Sealed Deed — It has been given to my family forever … it belongs to us … God gave it.
2. Open Deed — It can be sold to another if I am in need … or taken advantage of.
At the fall the open deed that Adam possessed he surrendered to the devil. Man had responsibility to rule on earth.
Psalm 115:16 “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.”
Man has a responsibility to have dominion in the earth.
Luke 4:6-7 “And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I “And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
Revelation 5:9-10 “And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
Jesus had the right of inheritance but He exercised the right of redemption.
You have now been restored with the open deed. DOMINION.
You get to write what belongs to you. You pray in His NAME.
The sealed deed is secure forever. The open deed has been restored to you through the precious blood of Jesus. Now you can write on the open deed the purposes of God for your life. The devil cannot take it again. You alone allow, and disallow, whatever is in your open deed.
You don’t get it all back when He comes. YOU GET IT ALL RIGHT NOW. Jesus exercised His right of redemption 2000 years ago so that you can reign NOW!!!
Praying “In His Name” is writing His wonderful purposes for your life into manifestation right NOW!!!
Your right to call heaven to earth in every circumstance in your life has been restored.
You should pray!
God is powerful.
You should pray!
God is always GOOD!!!

Lord, we thank you that you, Almighty God, reside on the inside of us. We ask that you would rise up on the inside of every single believer and execute justice, healing, power, love, YOU on the face of the earth in such a way as we have never ever seen before. Show yourself strong through us. We call forth manifestation of healing of victory, of freedom, of deliverance, of power over every single situation in our lives and in the lives of those around us and in this world. Reveal yourself through signs wonders and manifestations that will turn hearts to you. Reveal yourself to ALL…and we ask for it NOW.
Yes and amen. I command our hearts to feel for our neighbors and those we work with. I repent for not having a heart for my neighbor’s salavation and thank God he will open doors for me to share the good news with them.
We ask in Jesus name that you bless Pastor Karl and Cheryl with anointed lips on All Out Sunday. That when they speak the name of Jesus, hearts will be healed; bodies will be touched; lives will be renewed. Touch our children in kids church and may they know the goodness of God from this day onward and never depart from His ways. Revival in our hearts. Revival in our lives.
YES!! This is so good! God has called us to reign with Him on this earth and has loaded us with benefits:) When the church has a revelation of this and how much the Father loves us…WATCH OUT!!!
Thank you Lord Jesus for the wounderful things that you have created on this earth and I pray that Our Heavenly Father guide us though each day or night and we love you and we thank you Jesus for all you did on the cross for us and I declare that always keep our hearts warm and young amen
LOVE IT!!!! I’m declaring & believing the directives today.
Thank you God for everything you have provided for us today and forever. I’m believing that bad health will be restored to amazing health; I’m believing that each and every relationship will be restored, and I’m believing that financial issues that’s occurring is gone! I’m just declaring that; that shift in our life isn’t coming next week, next year, but today God!
All that can be said is Next!
Some good Kanisha … The SHIFT is ON!!!
Father God we thank you that you hear our prayers, we stand in unity like the church of Acts did where all believers were one heart and mind. This is our desire to reach a world who needs to know and see the manifestation of your Glory. Its through love that our faith will work to go out and reach this world,through example. So let us run this race as the Apostle Paul said he did, he fought the good fight of faith, he finished his course and kept the faith! We will all finish our course with your Grace and fight this good fight of faith, we take it by faith because you already paid in full for it. We stand strong as a body here at Impact Church, not looking at the wind and waves and not being moved by circumstances. For we know who we serve our Lord Jesus Christ! We will all come into a revelation of what is ours in you, we resist the enemy’s lies, and take back what was stolen standing firm in our faith! We thank you lord that our foundation is built on the rock, we declare we are like the wise man who built his house on the rock, and when the storm came and winds blew, nothing will shake Impact Church as a body. For we walk in love and unity AMEN!
AMEN!!!
The Key is Declaring, Demanding & Proclaiming when we pray. Instead of asking God to do this or that, WE declare it this or that be done in the name of Jesus. We must walk in the authority Jesus paid the price for us to have. I think some people are scared to Declare in the first person it implies that we act like God but that’s what we are supposed to do, we are God’s children, we should act like our Father. So get out there, Declare, Demand & Proclaim what you want to see happen.
As I was was praying this morning, I saw a vision of line ups of people out the front doors of our church trying to get in….this will mean big changes for our church so get ready, exciting times are upon us.
I Declare that more and more people in our community and city including those in important positions are being drawn to Impact Church London, I send out Ministering Angels to spread the word and gather Souls and lead them to Impact Church. I Declare that Impact Church is a place widely known for Miracles, Signs and Wonders taking place.
I speak to every person in our church to their spirit and I say rise up and share the giftings and passions within you to further the work of the Kingdom in our church, community and city. I Declare we will have all the people we need in place ready to go as our congregation quickly grows.
We are not in this time by accident, God chose this time for us to be here in the earth.
So Good!!! Go Sue … that was wonderful. I AGREE!!!
God’s word says “All power , authority , dominion and might is given in Jesus’ name”. We decree and declare in Jesus’ name that we receive your love and that we live by the faith of the Son of God and that as we receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness we rule and reign as kings in life through and in Jesus Christ.
i agree! i see the reality of Jesus made so obvious….He is irresistible, and as we daily awaken to His reality more and more, nations come to this light.
We shall pursue, overtake and recover all…We declare the restoration of all things…
Prayer is indeed very powerful. Those who know me at Impact will have noticed great changes in my life. The two most important were my head and my heart. It has made all the difference in the world. Gotta love that God and you gotta love that Jesus for reconciling humanity to God.
More recently prayer led me to apply for a booth at the Western Fair. Amazingly everything worked out.
As far as the devil stealing things from me, am quit certain I am the result of me. Luckily, whether my health is the result of the devil or myself, God can fix it. Monday I experienced the Anglican rite of anointing with oil and laying on of hands. I have felt unbelievable since. It is as if the Holy Spirit is at work within me clearing out all which is not of me. I look forward to being anointed with oil and having the elders pray over me at Impact Sunday.
Prayer can do so much. I beseech you all to turn to God as often as possible. Luke 11:2-4 is a great place to begin and a wonderful place to turn when lost.
So Good … I love seeing what God can do in lives yielded to Him. Go Ahead Stefan!!!
Thanks you Jesus! We declare that we are in the STATE of your favour! The STATE of wealth, STATE of Health, and the STATE of your joyful Love! The now state
I declare that heaven’s perspective touches every one of our senses! Thank you Lord that we clearly hear and see those amazing things that you have set before us, the people who desperately need to be loved that you have placed in our lives and the things that you created to be ours that we need to be intentionally pursuing. It’s a new day with new victories, testimonies and breakthroughs…thank you for the grace to see that you work all things our for our good and nothing is too hard for you! WAKE UP! The creator of the universe is directing all the love he has at you! He’s your biggest fan!
He’s my biggest fan … I love that!!!
I’ve been thinking on this post throughout the day & even though this is something I already know – it’s no less amazing!! We have the authority (open & sealed/inheritance & redeemed) in every way & on every level. There is no waiting. It’s now. Everything that needs to be done is done. Jesus Himself told us to go for it! It’s done! London (or anybody anywhere) doesn’t stand a chance against His love 🙂 As I said earlier, I’m declaring & believing the directives.
Restoration!!! Spirit / Soul / Body – for our city, our province, our nation. THANK YOU JESUS!!! We asked, you promised, we receive.
