“And SUDDENLY there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
‘Glory to God in the highest ,
And on earth PEACE, goodwill toward men.’”
Can you even imagine what it would be like to suddenly see a multitude of heavenly host praising God, and declaring peace on earth? WOW! After that reality altering experience, the shepherds wisely decided that it might be a good idea to visit baby Jesus.
PEACE - shalom; Strong’s #7965: Completeness, wholeness, peace, health, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation of discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalam, meaning “to be complete, perfect and full.” Thus Shalom is much more than the absence of war and conflict; it is the wholeness that the entire human race seeks. (Note from The Spirit Filled Life Bible.)
“Behold, on the mountains
The feet of him who brings good tidings,
Who proclaims PEACE!” (Nahum 1:15 NKJV)
Jesus came to bring Peace; Shalom. We are to enforce His peace by proclaiming PEACE wherever we go, and today we proclaim PEACE over the one we will marry, or have married. To help us understand the importance of praying declarative prayers, in agreement with the Word of God, I share with you from the book “The Supernatural Ways of Royalty” by Kim Vallotton.
“We are partnering with God to bring justice to earth. (PEACE!) Like Paul we are restoring the knowledge of the one true God. Like Gideon, we are restoring the supernatural signs of God. We’re restoring health to people’s bodies, souls and spirits. We’re restoring relationships and families. We’re restoring financial prosperity....
The truth is that Christ defeated and disarmed the enemy once and for all on the Cross (see Col. 2:15). God has condemned him as guilty and handed over the authority he had usurped from Adam to Jesus Christ, the second Adam.
OUR JOB as “little Christs” is as deputies who enforce that judgment in every situation we come across. God created a world where our vote counts and where our agreement with that He’s doing is necessary to release His power into the world.”
Our Father God, You are so amazing - Wonderful! Counselor! PRINCE OF PEACE!
Thank you for delivering the enormous gift of peace today, to the people You have chosen to join with us in Kingdom marriages. Lord, bless the marriages of the people in our lives with Shalom. (Add your own prayers to each word of Shalom.)
We declare over our beloved, our friends, families and over ourselves:
- Completeness in every area of our lives
- Wholeness
- Peace
- Good health
- Welfare
- Safety
- Soundness
- Tranquility
- Prosperity
- Perfectness
- Wholeness
- Rest
- Harmony
- The absence of agitation or discord
And I pray that each of us will have the mind of Christ to comprehend the power of our partnership with You LORD of lords, and King of kings.
AMEN!
Expecting to be amazed ~
