Hurricane Free Florida

Confessions of a Hurricane-Free Florida

Praying against this storm. When we pray against a storm, we mustn’t speak to it as if we own or deserve it. It’s not just enough for it to turn away from your area. It must leave Florida! Jesus has paid for the freedom of Florida.

I have made a personal vow to refrain from using the name given by the National Hurricane Center to address any storm. Like David, who faced a giant and referred to him as an uncircumcised Philistine, I choose not to give power to negative forces by speaking their names.

I desire to see it completely dissipate or weaken so much, that it’s just a shower of rain. Our Lord’s MERCY will prevail.

Decree This:

  1. We say Psalm 91. Florida dwells in the secret place of the Most High and abides under the shadow of the Almighty. Lord, You are a refuge and fortress, to Florida. In Him do we trust.
  2. Father, Your Son paid the price to free Florida from sin, judgement and death. We embrace Your finished work and decree Florida forgiven.
  3. Florida is favored by my Lord. Yahweh Your hand rests upon this state.
  4. As you proclaimed in 2 Corinthians 9:8, All grace abounds towards Florida, and we have all sufficiency in all things. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
  5. I proclaim a testimony of LIFE over Florida. According to Psalm 118:17, Florida shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.
  6. I decree Yahweh’s MERCY over the state of Florida. James 2:13 proclaims Your mercy triumphs over judgement. I proclaim MERCY, MERCY, MERCY, MERCY, MERCY, MERCY, MERCY over Florida!
  7. Florida lives in abundant Life promised to us by Jesus. His abundant life lives in Florida, and we embrace Life and not destruction.
  8. Florida is an Overcomer. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony. We do not cling to our life but the life of Yahweh, even when faced with a storm.
  9. Florida will fulfill all the destiny Abba has placed upon it.
  10. Florida is in covenant with Yahweh. We as a state and land are married to our Lord.
    1. Isaiah 62:1-7 NASB, Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. How long will you attack a Florida? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence. 4 They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah 5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. 7 In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.

De-Throning Pan

Our Covenant with Christ—Dethroning Pan

Standing in agreement with Christ and His Kingdom, we proclaim that our passion for Christ, His Kingdom, and His cause in Florida and America is renewed in Him. In agreement with the word of God and Holy Spirit, as a Moses Company of awakening and reformation, we take our stand against the spirit of Pan that has risen to thwart the purposes of God’s Kingdom in Florida, America, and the nations of the world.

Father, forgive us for any bitterness or offense we have entertained. Cover us in the blood of Jesus, our Lord and King. We chose forgiveness over offense, releasing those who have wounded us. We remit every sin according to John 20:23

We proclaim healing as Your word states in Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24.

Seated with Christ—We decree that we are seated with Christ in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion… Eph 1:20-21 and Ephesians 2:6.

Finishers—We declare that as a Moses Company, we will not consider aborting the mission of awakening and reformation in Florida and America. We will run the race Christ has set. We will finish it. We will serve the purpose of God in our generation and go after the heart of our Father.

Judgment against the spirit of Pan.

  • Let the high praise of God be in their mouth, and two edged sword, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on the written judgment—This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord. Psalm 149:6-9

Decreeing the written judgment of Christ against the spirit of Pan

  • Based on Ezekiel 38:2-3, we set our face corporately against the principality Pan and prophesy, “The Lord is against you Pan.”
  • Based on Isaiah 54:17, we decree the weapons Pan has formed, shall not prosper. We proclaim every tongue that accuses and slanders, we condemn. This is our heritage as servants of the Lord and our vindication is from the Lord.
  • Based on 1 John 3:8 we decree that Jesus is manifested for the purpose of destroying the works of the devil. We decree that Pan’s works are destroyed through the redemptive work of Christ.

Breaking the spirit of Panic, Pandemic, Pandemonium and the like.

  • We confirm our allegiance to the call and cause of Christ. His Kingdom agenda and His work of awakening and reformation we are destined to accomplish.
  • We break the spirit of panic off our lives, the saints and the sinners.
  • Father, forgive us for entertaining panic and chaos in our generation. You are our source. All life comes from you. We submit to you in faith.
  • Based on Luke 12:2-3 we say, Lord, uncover and bring to light Pan’s plot to destroy, wound, and harm Your people.

Restoring Christ’s identity

  • Pan is a thief of identity. He has caused many to deny the identity of a man and woman in Genesis 1:26-28. We proclaim this thief is caught and Godly restoration comes in Jesus name, according to Proverbs 6:31.
  • We decree that Christ-like identity is restored to all men and women. We proclaim that the original intent is restored in Florida and the nation.
  • We profess that as Peter embraced and confessed the identity of Christ while in Caesarea Philippi, we release the same revelation on all of Florida and the nation.

Dismantling Sexual Perversion

  • Father, we come into agreement with the blood of Jesus Christ and that His blood covers and cleanses us from all unrighteousness in Jesus name.
  • We declare judgment against homosexuality, bestiality, adultery, fornication, and all perverted sexual acts. We say it is broken off the people of Yahweh, those who live in Florida and the nation. Father, according to Your word in Matthew 6:13, lead us not into temptation-deliver us from evil.
  • We declare judgment on the sexual perversion of the spirit of Pan and decree its lies are broken in Jesus name.
  • We close the door to compromise and the demonic invasion of impurity.
  • We proclaim a love for holiness.
  • We decree that we are vessels of honor prepared for every good work.

Removing the Spirit of Pan from office.

In the following scripture, I intentionally substituted Pan for Shebna’s name to better direct our decree and achieve its intended purpose.

Isaiah 22:15-22 Thus says the Lord God of hosts, “Come, go to this steward,
to Pan, who is in charge of the royal household, 16 ‘What right do you have here, And whom do you have here, That you have hewn a tomb for yourself here, You who hew a tomb on the height, You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock? 17 ‘Behold, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly 18 And roll you tightly like a ball,
To be cast into a vast country; There you will die, and there your splendid chariots will be, you shame of your master’s house.’ 19 “I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station. 20 “Then it will come about in that day, that I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
21 And I will clothe him with your tunic and tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority, and he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22 “Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens no one will shut, when he shuts no one will open.

As a unified Ekklesia, we hereby announce the removal of Pan from his position and the appointment of Eliakim under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We respectfully request divine intervention, asking for the deployment of angelic forces in the name of Yeshua to facilitate this transition.

Dear Father, we express our gratitude for the healing and restoration taking place in Florida and our nation through faith in the name of Jesus. We are thankful for the pursuit of holiness, righteousness, and reconciliation. Amen.

Giving Thanks-An Avenue of Healing

Giving Thanks-An Avenue of Healing by: Ken Malone

Did you know that there are multiple ways to experience the healing power of the Holy Spirit? Many people focus on only one or two of these ways. Those seeking healing often overlook the significant avenue of “Giving Thanks” as a means to receive healing. Many of us, including myself, typically ask others to pray for us and have someone lay hands on us, as taught in the Bible. However, perhaps the Holy Spirit wants to utilize a different approach.

I Thessalonians 5:18 TPT, tells us, “And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.”

In 2018, I had the honor of inviting Gerald Derstine, a general in the faith, to share his wisdom at Kingdom Gate Worship Center. At 90 years old, he appeared to be in excellent health. As we sat together in the green room before the service, Gerald shared a powerful testimony with me. He said, “Ken, I feel better now than 10 years ago.” I was taken aback and asked, “How can you feel better at 90 than you did at 80?” He went on to explain that ten years ago, he had struggled with severe arthritis in his hips and back, which made every step a painful endeavor. His story of overcoming such difficulties was truly inspiring.

Gerald said, “I went to the Lord and asked why I wasn’t being healed. Holy Spirit told me that it was because I wasn’t giving thanks. I told my wife, Buelah, that if she heard me praising and thanking the Lord instead of complaining, I was following the Holy Spirit’s counsel. So, I began to worship, praising, and thanking the Lord even in the midst of my suffering. Two days later, I was healed. My expressions of gratitude to the Lord turned into declarations of faith, which led to my recovery from debilitating arthritis.

If you read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 again, it says, “In everything, give thanks.” This doesn’t mean we thank God for the problems, sickness, or disease. It means that while we are in it, we should give thanks to our Lord as we walk toward our healing.

Expressing gratitude to the Lord for our healing, deliverance, blessings, prosperity, and the salvation of loved ones and friends is a powerful declaration of faith. It’s a way of saying, “Father, we thank you in advance for all that we are grateful for. Lord, I thank you for healing me. Father, I praise you for saving my children.”

1 Thessalonians 5:18 TPT, “And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.” 

Today is your day to fulfill His perfect plan; give Him thanks. Behold the works of our Lord manifest in you and for you.

Let’s Wrestle

By: Ken Malone

Ephesians 6:10-13 NKJV, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Ephesians 6:10-13 TPT, Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you. 11 Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser! 12 Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. 13 Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.

“Recently, I had a profound realization about the battle between the physical and spiritual realms. On April 6, 2024, I was in Marathon, FL, spearheading a prayer strike to banish the spirit of Pan. Despite facing significant resistance from some pastors and intercessors, we persisted in our mission. And while most refused to offer their support, one courageous pastor came forward and joined our cause, admitting that he had initially considered not helping. It was a challenging experience, but one that ultimately reinforced my unwavering faith and determination.” We feel strongly that the spirit of Pan was displaced in Florida and the nation.

I mused over how much we wrestle with one another and not with the enemy.

We wrestle over:

  1. Which translation of the bible is correct?
  2. Doctrine
  3. Personality
  4. Church against Church
  5. Pastor opposing Pastors, Apostle against apostle, prophet against prophet.
  6. Some preachers who oppose revival.
  7. Intercessor against Intercessor
  8. Conflict between brothers and sisters
  9. Many who oppose Genesis 1:26-28 mandate of taking dominion.
  10. These are just a few of the many things the enemy uses to separate us.

Rev. 12:11 TPT, They conquered him (the dragon) completely through the blood of the Lamb and the powerful word of his testimony. They triumphed because they did not love and cling to their own lives, even when faced with death.

THE TITLE WAVE

The Title Wave

1 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God…

2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God

Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead)

It is worth noting that although Paul did possess the gifting of an apostle, he never referred to himself as “Apostle Paul.” Have you noticed how some individuals take on titles that they don’t actually deserve? It’s particularly concerning when people who excel in one area falsely claim expertise in another. For instance, I’ve seen intercessors who have taken on the title of Apostle, despite lacking the necessary gifting. This type of behavior is misleading and can lead to confusion and disillusionment. It’s important that we honor individuals for the unique gifting they possess, rather than trying to inflate their importance with false titles.

In this day and age, we are blessed to have true apostles among us, but unfortunately, there are also those who are false. However, this is not a new issue. In fact, even the Lord himself addressed this within the church of Ephesus. As stated in Revelation 2:2, the Lord said, “I know your deeds, your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men. You put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not. You found them to be false.”

Let us take this as a reminder to be vigilant and discerning when it comes to those who claim to be apostles. We must put them to the test and ensure their authenticity. Only then can we be certain that we are following the true apostles who are sent by the Lord.

May we all have the wisdom and discernment to recognize the true from the false, and may we always follow the path that leads us closer to the Lord and not a title.

A Church in South Florida

Years ago, I spoke in a church in South Florida. Everyone in the church had a title. There were many who called themselves Pastor, others Apostle, some Prophets, many had Evangelist others Missionary and on and on.

“I was quite annoyed at how nonchalantly people were using their titles. When I went up to the pulpit, I greeted everyone and then made a statement, “I notice that all of you have a title. It’s okay to have a title if you can prove that you have the qualities and achievements that come with that title. So, if you claim to be a prophet, read my thoughts and prophesy to me. And if you call yourself an evangelist, show me the fruits of your evangelism. Where are the souls that you have led to the Lord?” Of course, no one came forward to respond.”

It is evident that some intercessors have assumed the titles of Apostle and Prophet without possessing the requisite authority and fruit that these gifts demand. This is an issue that cannot be overlooked, and we must address it head-on. It is essential to recognize the importance of authenticity and humility in exercising these roles and gifts, and I am confident that as a community, we can strive towards embodying these values and serving one another with excellence.

There are some individuals who use titles to flaunt their importance and feel entitled. Even though they carry the title of Pastor, they do not take care of their congregation. Over the years, I have observed that many of these people are bullies instead of servants.

When asked about the name to use for addressing me, I politely responded with my given name, Ken. However, I humbly requested that if a title must be given, kindly refrain from using the term “pastor”. I then cordially explained my unique abilities and the nature of my service.

We’re Called to Serve

The word of God boldly proclaims in Acts 10:38 that Jesus healed all who were oppressed by the devil and spent his time doing good. It’s easy to imagine him lending a helping hand to a widow, spending time with sinners, and even cooking meals for his disciples. As followers of Christ, we are called to serve and make a positive impact on the lives of those around us. Let’s confidently embrace this calling, serving the Lord and our fellow human beings with the same unwavering commitment and purpose that Jesus demonstrated.

The five-fold gifting is a great power that has been bestowed upon us, and with great power comes great responsibility. It is our duty to let go of any sense of entitlement and instead channel our gifts towards serving the body of Christ and society at large. Our selfless efforts can make a significant difference in the world, and we cannot afford to ignore this calling.

Let us come together and pledge to continue working towards the betterment of our community. Remember, the true measure of our greatness lies not in what we achieve for ourselves, but what we do for others.

Heavenly Father, fill our hearts with Your love and passion. Let our desire be to love and serve You and our fellow man. Take away our stony heart and give us Your heart.

Today I make a declaration of faith to You that I will not casually pick up a title but my heart will be to serve. I pray this is the name of Your son, Yeshua.
