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:
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.
Father, Your Son paid the price to free Florida from sin, judgement and death. We embrace Your finished work and decree Florida forgiven.
Florida is favored by my Lord. Yahweh Your hand rests upon this state.
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.
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.
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!
Florida lives in abundant Life promised to us by Jesus. His abundant life lives in Florida, and we embrace Life and not destruction.
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.
Florida will fulfill all the destiny Abba has placed upon it.
Florida is in covenant with Yahweh. We as a state and land are married to our Lord.
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.
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 becast 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.
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.
Pantheism-Worship of the Universe-a false god. By: Ken Malone
I have heard of those who acknowledge or pray to the universe. Some have devoted themselves to praying and worshipping the universe. For them, the universe is their god.
In the year 2000 I encountered a man who said, I/we should worship the sun. His premise was that the sun provides everything we need: warmth, seasons, etc. He said if the sun did not exist, we would die. My answer to him was, that the God of creation, put the sun into place and set the times, seasons, etc. “No, no, no,” he said. The sun is our God. My answer remained the same. Yahweh created the universe. We are a part of that universe, but we worship the creator of the cosmos through Jesus, His Son. He began to get angry because I kept refusing his reprobate mindset. For those who acknowledge, worship, and pray to the universe, you have forsaken the Father of creation, His son Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
This type of worship and prayer to the universe dates back thousands of years, but its roots are in paganism, not Christ.
Pantheism is the term used for those who practice praying to and worshipping the universe. This is the Greek word derived from the demon god Pan (paen) and thesis. Thus the worship of pan, the god of nature, lust, bestiality, homosexuality, adultery, debauchery and anything goes lifestyle. Pantheist belief does not recognize a distinct personal god, anthropomorphic or otherwise, but instead characterizes a broad range of doctrines differing in forms of relationships between reality and divinity.
Scientology, started by L Ron Hubbard and based in Clearwater Florida is a form of Pantheism. Hubbard makes this statement about scientology, (3) “No culture in the history of the world, save the thoroughly depraved ones, has failed to affirm the existence of a Supreme Being. It is an empirical observation that men without a strong and lasting faith in a Supreme Being are less capable, less ethical and less valuable to themselves and society.” Nonetheless, the church does not prescribe specific teachings about God but instead concentrates on helping its members to realize their inherent spiritual essence and abilities.
It’s time for you to reject Pantheism. This is not who you are. You’re not Pantheist. You are a child of the Creator and His son Jesus Christ is you Lord and Savior. So come on home to the Father through Jesus Christ, His son.
If, for some reason, you have fallen into this trap and desire to get out, pray this:
Father, my heart yearns to be in Your presence. Forgive me for worshipping a false demon god. I renounce all influence of pantheism and universalism in my life. It not longer has a place in me. I return to you today through faith in Jesus Christ. I declare this so, in Yeshua’s name.
Alignment. It’s a word I had never heard of or used in the Church until the year 2000. Before that time, I had only used the word in relation to mechanics. I had heard of front-end alignment, in which you align the front end of your car, to help your tires wear evenly. Today they even have four-wheel alignment. I had also heard the expression, “when the stars align” and the alignment of two points.
When I was eleven years old, I went to work for my granddad, Esker Malone. My granddad owned a full-service gas station. He trained me in the skills of operating a full-service gas station. He aligned me with his skills. At sixteen, I went to work with my dad at his mechanic shop. He began to train me in his skills of repairing a car. I caught on quickly. At the age of sixteen, I built a dune buggy out of a Volkswagen Beetle. I rebuilt motors, tuned up cars, changed wheel bearings, etc. At this young age, I was always learning new skills when it came to the automobile.
In 1976, I gave my heart and life to our Lord Jesus Christ. I didn’t know it, but Holy Spirit had dropped the plumbline of redemption in my heart. It was then my choice to align with Him or to continue to go my own way. I aligned with Him. While serving our Lord in Alabama, I was not certain where Yahweh was taking me. The fire of the Lord filled my heart with passion for Him. I read the bible and learned that prayer was a necessary lifestyle if you are going to pursue Him. I prayed, led worship, and began to preach the gospel of the Kingdom.
Each move we made, every decision we followed through on, every holy nudge we embraced, and each divine appointment aligned us with His plan.
It wasn’t long before I felt the drawing of Holy Spirit to go full-time in the ministry and in 1984, we stepped out in faith. Moving to Montgomery Alabama, and becoming the pastor at Abundant Life Church. This was a very strong training ground. At 28 years old with a wife and four kids, I had a lot of zeal and revelation, but no wisdom to go along with the zeal, which was challenging. The four years I was there were filled with trials, testing, more trials, and more testing. Almost the entire time I was there, I wondered, “Did I miss God? Why is it so hard?” Through the years, I’ve discovered that each time you go to a new assignment (re-align,) you are tested. Will you go back to where you came from? Will you quit?
Labor Day 1988
On Labor Day 1988, we moved to Florida to continue the work of the Kingdom of God. The testing followed me. I didn’t know this was a part of my Heavenly Father’s process to refine me and to keep me in alignment. When seeking God, I said, “Lord get me out of Florida. It’s too hard.” Holy Spirit would say, “You’re going to be here a LONGGGGG time. My heart sank. “Why is it so difficult?” My mind wandered to a conversation that my grandmother, a preacher’s daughter, had with Cheryl and I. She had told me how hard she and her family had it when she was growing up. My great-grandfather was a Methodist Preacher. Grandmother said, “Don’t do it! You will be poor. You have a good job at the paper mill. Don’t give it up.” This is the place that many come to and reason because it’s so hard, it must not be the will of God. To the contrary. You’re being tested. Will you align with Him, His Plan or go home?
In the Church, we’ve not been taught how to sit with the refiner. We’ve not learned that we are to endure hardness. 2 Timothy 2:3-5 NKJV, You, therefore, must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
In 2000 I began to run with those who were using the word alignment. The first message I ever heard Dutch Sheets share was in 2000. He preached a word he called, “The Divine Shift.” He was teaching how the Lord is re-aligning His body for Kingdom purposes. When I heard this word, my heart made another important re-alignment, to fulfill all that Yahweh had in store for Cheryl and I. Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Jim Hodges, Cindy Jacobs and a number of others talk about alignment. Whenever someone used the word alignment, my ears perked up and still do today. It’s pretty much a buzzword today in and outside the body of Christ.
Declared With Authority
Those I heard declare the word of alignment, did so with such authority and passion, that you knew it was a word from them the Lord. Every time I heard the word, “ALIGN,” My heart would awaken and movement toward His plans would take place.
It was also in 2000 that I unpacked my emotional bags and decided I would stay in Florida for the rest of my life. When I did, Yahweh supernaturally married Cheryl and I to Florida. I Love every square inch of our state.
From 2000-2008, I was constantly in a cycle of realignment. Things were changing. For the first time, I was content with being in Florida. When Yahweh married us to Florida, everything began to improve. I no longer had to work two jobs. This marriage to Florida was a tremendous blessing. I began to travel across the state, and all was well.
The trials still come, but I now know how to abide in Christ. John 15:5-8 NKJV, Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Apostolic Alignment—Learning to align with a gift, I thought no longer existed.
In 1999 while on a mission trip on the island of Eleuthera, I hear Holy say, I’m shifting you to the gift of Apostle. I wasn’t sure about this. I heard that Apostles were missionaries were overseas. The only overseas work I wanted to do was a Mediterranean Cruise. Like Jonah, I ran from this call because I did not understand this type of alignment. So I placed this word on the shelf of forgetfulness. (This is where many of our prophetic words go to collect dust or die.)
In 2000, Cheryl and I were in Miami, along with leaders from the church we led. Cindy Jacobs and Dutch Sheets were hosting a Glory Fire Conference. At that time, I did not know Cindy and we had just met Dutch a few months before. Cindy calls Cheryl and I out of 1000 people. She was very cordial and kind. Who are you? Where are you from, what do you do,” she asked? I shared who we are. Cindy then gets this look that most prophets get when they are about to give you and word. She prophesied, “The Lord has place upon you the mantle of an apostle, but you have resisted this. Now resist no more. Suddenly a 3-way conversation is going on. As Cindy is prophesying to us, I say to the Lord, “No I didn’t.” He says, “Yes you did.” “How?” was my reply. He said, “because you did nothing with the word, I gave you.” I REPENTED.
It’s time to engage. I looked at Cheryl and said, “Let’s spend the rest of our lives pursuing our Lord and His plans, regardless of the cost.” She agreed.
I bought every book I could find on the Apostle. If it had apostle in the title, I bought it. Out of 100 books I bought, only 25 were helpful. I read everything on this subject I could.
The greatest thing I did during this major shift was to align myself with other apostles. Iron sharpens iron. I need to be around others who are apostles. I came into strong alignment with Dutch Sheets.
I showed up where he was speaking. Made many trips to Colorado Springs to be with him. Then I began to serve him in whatever manner I could. If it was toting his suitcase, pick him up at the airport, grabbing a meal for him, I did it. The relationship began to grow and now 23 years later, we still run together.
My authority level went off the chain. Our ministry began to grow. Our finances grew. I began to really understand what I was made for. Jesus didn’t die, just to take you and I to heaven. He died so that I could discover life in Him and walk that out. It happened in 2000 and it’s happening today.
For those wanting to grow in ministry, the best advice I can give you is, align yourself with God’s plan, then align yourself with an apostle.
