Join SMM as we anoint the tyres of our vehicles and drive around the city of Midrand and say the following prayer: • Thank you, Father, that You are restoring the judge of our city and our counsellors as at the beginning. We call our a city a RIGHTEOUS and a FAITHFUL city. (Isaiah 1:26). • Father, we declare that because we are SEEKING the peace and welfare of our city, and PRAYING to YOU for it, we are ENJOYING peace and welfare. (Jeremiah 29:7). • Father, we declare that this city is being delivered because the believers of this city acknowledge our poverty of spirit, by not looking to our own wisdom, but drawing from the wisdom that is from above. (Ecclesiastes 9:15). • Father, we declare that our city is rejoicing because it is going well with the uncompromisingly righteous. By the blessing of the influence of the UPRIGHT, we call our city EXALTED. (Proverbs11:10-11). • Father, we declare that because Your people of this city are wise, we are scaling the city walls of the mighty and bringing down the strongholds in which this city trusts. (Proverbs 21:22). • Thank you, Father, that You are purging our city of scoffers who would set it afire, inflaming the minds of the people, and because Your people are using Godly wisdom, we are turning away wrath. (Proverbs 29:8). • Father, we lift our voice to declare the song that You have given us to sing over our city, which says, “We have a strong city, the Lord sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.” (Isaiah 26:1). • Father, we declare that Your people in this city are called a HOLY people, the REDEEMED of the Lord. We call this city SOUGHT OUT, a city NOT FORSAKEN. (Isaiah 62:12). • Father, we decree that You are making our city to be a city set on a hill, whose light cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14). • Father, we declare that our city is called the FAITHFUL CITY OF TRUTH, and it is full of boys and girls playing in its streets. (Zechariah 9:3,5). • Thank you, Father, that You are raising up Your people to rebuild the ancient ruins, and to raise up the former desolations and renew the ruined cities and devastation of many generations. You are causing us to be called the repairers of the breach and restorers of streets to dwell in. (Isaiah 61:4; 58:12). • Father, You have said in Your word that NO CITY divided against itself will last or continue to stand. Therefore, in the mighty Name of Jesus we rebuke you, spirit of division, over our city and command you to flee. We cancel all of your assignments and effects against this city in the Name of Jesus. • We loose UNITY, HARMONY and PEACE in Jesus’ Name. Father, we declare that You Yourself are our PEACE—our bond of UNITY and HARMONY. You have made us ONE BODY in this city and have broken down, destroyed and abolished every hostile dividing wall between us. • We declare that Your people in this city are eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the HARMONY and ONENESS of the Spirit in the binding power of peace. We are living in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, that TOGETHER we are UNANIMOUSLY with UNITED HEARTS and ONE VOICE praising and glorifying You. We also declare Your promise that because we are ONE, NOTHING that we imagine to do is impossible to us. (Psalm 133:1-3;Genesis 11:6). • Father, we declare that Your people in this city are ONE—PERFECTLY UNITED—just as You are in the Son, and the Son is in You, so that this city is convinced and fully recognizes that You have sent Your Son. (John 17:21, 23). • Thank you, Father, that You are making Your Name known and revealing Your character—even Your very Self—to Your people in this city, so that the SAME LOVE, which You have bestowed upon JESUS is IN US and is felt in our hearts. (John 17:26). • Thank you, Father, that the mighty works You are bringing forth in our city are causing repentance and heart changes that will CONTINUE and REMAIN. (Matthew 11:21, 13). • Father, we declare that because the spiritual leaders of this city are SANCTIFYING themselves and COMING TOGETHER to PRAY and SEEK YOUR FACE for this city WITHOUT REGARD TO DIVISIONS; and because they are, in UNISON, making ONE SOUND to be heard in praising and thanking You, Your GLORY is being MANIFESTED in their midst so that they are not even able to stand and minister. (II Chronicles 5:11-14). • Father, You have said that as Jesus is, so are we in this world. Therefore, because He said that He was called for the purpose of preaching the gospel to CITIES and TOWNS, we, too, are called to THIS PURPOSE. Burn it into our hearts that we have been sent by You to our city to preach the gospel. (I John 4:17; Luke 4:43). • Father, we declare that our city belongs to YOU. We declare Your promise that YOUR cities would yet again overflow with prosperity. (Zechariah 1:17). • Father, we call forth YOUR FIRE upon our city to devour its strongholds. (Amos1:7). • Thank you, Father, that You are sending Your SPIRIT OF ELIJAH upon our city to turn back the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, incredulous and unpersuadable to the wisdom of the upright. We declare that ALL the inhabitants of this city have a knowledge of and holy love for Your will. We decree that You are making ready for Yourself a people in this city perfectly prepared in spirit, adjusted, disposed and placed in the right moral state. (Luke1:17). • Father, we declare that our city is filled with flocks of men, women and children who know, understand and realize that You are the Lord, the Sovereign Ruler,calling forth loyalty and obedient service. (Ezekiel 36:38). • Father, because You have promised that Your people would renew the ruined cities, we boldly declare that every area where there is ruin in our city, whether in the spirit or in the natural, is RENEWED by Your mighty power at work within and through Your people. (Isaiah 61:4b). • Thank you, Father, that You are destroying the schemes and confusing the tongues of those who would stir up strife and violence in our city. Those who are stirring up strife against this city are failing away TO YOUR PEOPLE. (Psalm 55:9;Isaiah 54:16). • Father, we declare that the inhabitants of our city are flourishing like the grass of the earth. (Psalm 72: 15b). • Thank you, Father, that You are making the HUNGRY IN SPIRIT to dwell in our city, so that they may prepare a city for YOU to inhabit. (Psalm 107:36). • Thank you, Father, that You are delivering and defending our city to save it out of the hand of the enemy for Your own sake and for the sake of Your people in this place. (Isaiah 37:35; 38:6). • Thank you, Father, that You are raising up men and women in righteousness and directing them in how to build up this city. (Isaiah 45:13).Thank you, Father, that You are stirring up the spirits of Your people to rebuild YOUR HOUSE in this city. (Ezra 1:5b). • Thank you, Father, for Your promise that EVERY place upon which the soles of our feet shall tread is OURS. Therefore, we boldly declare that this city belongs to Your people in order to bring You glory. We shout VICTORY in the Name of Jesus, for You have given us this city. We devote this city and ALL that is in it to YOU, Lord. (Deuteronomy 11:24; Joshua 6:16-17). • Father, we declare that we, as Your people, let NOTHING TERRIFY us, even though there are those who would seek to WEAKEN OUR HANDS for the task through FEAR by surrounding us with counselors who would counsel against us to frustrate our purpose and plans to rebuild Your house. BUT, NOW.STRENGTHEN OUR HANDS, Father. YOU are all we need—You are more than enough—to complete the task. For when the enemy sees Your work complete in this city, HE will FEAR and fall far in his own estimation, for he will see that the work was done by YOU. (I Peter 3:6; Ezra 4:4-5; Nehemiah 6:9, 16). • Thank you, Father, that You are anointing Your people to be REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH in this city. In Nehemiahs day, Jerusalems walls were torn down and its gates were burned with fire. But, when the enemies of Israel saw that the BREACHES of the wall were being CLOSED, they became VERY ANGRY, because they realized that as soon as ALL the BREACHES were closed, the city would be IMPENETRABLE. (Nehemiah 1:3; 4:7). • Father, we will not be discouraged when we see the enemy becoming enraged, but we will see that his anger is a SURE SIGN of his INEVITABLE DEFEAT. Thank you that the intensity of the battle will press us into YOU, Father, and it will cause us to be all the more vigilant to set a watch against him day and night. We declare that we are ONE MAN, Father, and we will build and work on the wall with one hand, and hold a weapon with the other hand. (Nehemiah 4:17). • Give us a revelation that the wall of our city is a LIVING WALL made up of LIVING STONES—Your Body—and the gates are representative of the ELDERS of the city. A wall with NO BREACHES means a city with NO PLACE for the enemy to enter. • Cause us to see that, as Your church in this city, we DESPERATELY need one another. We cannot make a city-wide impact without a UNIFIED city-wide church. (Ezekiel 13:4-5; Matthew :14). • Deliver us from all self-righteousness, apathy, fear, unbelief and ANY OTHER SIN that would hinder the moving of Your Spirit in this place. Burn it into our hearts, Father, that this city’s strength to stand against the onslaught of the enemy is NOT dependent upon the faith of a few or even many INDIVIDUAL BELIEVERS in this city, nor is it dependent upon INDIVIDUAL CONGREGATIONS. It is dependent upon the RELATIONSHIPS between those individual believers and congregations. In other words, our strength is measured by the WALL’S state of REPAIR! WE THANK YOU LORD FOR ANSWEARED PRAYER AND THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS, IN JESUS NAME….
