God wants to remind His people today about the immense power of our prayers, intercession and prophetic declarations.

Prayer is what connects hleaven and earth, prayer brings the invisible into the visible, prayer releases all of the resources of Heaven and also frees those held captive by Hell.

That's the way God set up things back at creation - He gave dominion and authority here on earth to men and women. We were created in His image and placed on earth to represent Him, to carry Divine authority and implement His rule.

Prayer is the means God has given us to involve Him in what happens in our lives and on the earth. Prayer releases His power, presence, healing and provision. It enforces God's will and causes Hell to quake.

This week, as God's people, we need to be on our knees, praying specifically, with boldness, authority, persistence, and confidence.

Genesis 1:26-28

“Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
