learning what it means to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

because everyone is watching to see what we're going to do?  whether or not we're crazy?  what kind of faith is this.

thursday morning, i woke up straight praising God and speaking because i believe now....not only do i believe but i understand where we've been (study-wise) and why we've had to go there.

i heard, "by the power vested in me, i now pronounce you man and wife".  only someone who has been ordained has the authority to pronounce what God wants (marriage).  if you don't have the authority, those words are in vain.  Bishop on Wednesday night preached that because of this breakthrough fast, we have the authority TRULY because of what Jesus has already done.  however, he had to preach on faith as preparation for the breakthrough because if you don't believe that you have authority, how can you exercise it?  that is why the Word says, "we believe, therefore we speak".  we have been given the keys to the kingdom.....whatever we say, will come to pass.....we have the authority and that is why the enemy has been fighting so hard to come against our face...(for the kingdom of God suffers violence, but the violent take it by force)....we have the authority and because of that, we have the right to take what the enemy is trying to snatch away from us....but that's the thing...he can't do it, so he'll try to make it seem like it doesn't belong to us.  if you don't believe it belongs to you, you'll never have what God intends for you.  WOW.

back to my wedding example.  the officiant has to pronounce.  they have to make a proclamation.  they have to open their mouth and declare and decree the the union is so.  if they don't do that, there is no union.  nothing exists.  that person has been given the authority, and because of that, they are charged to pronounce that two people are becoming one.  so just like the officiant, we have been given authority in the heavenly realms above all the power of the enemy.  and because we believe it, we speak it.  we declare and decree it because it is so.  we loose and we bind because it is so.
