Lorica of Patrick

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation

This inspirational confession of faith and prayer was written by Patrick (ca. 377)
Patrick was originally a slave in Ireland, received freedom, left and was called back years later by the Lord to bring the gospel to the nation. Patrick and a small band of believers literally turned Ireland around into a Christian nation.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray this prayer in the power of the Holy Spirit

In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind, rebuke and bring to no effect, all division, discord, disunity, strife, anger, wrath, murder, criticism, condemnation, pride, envy, jealousy, gossip, slander, evil speaking, complaining, lying, false teaching, false gifts, false manifestations, lying signs and wonders, poverty, fear of lack, fear spirits, murmuring spirits, hindering spirits, retaliatory spirits, deceiving spirits, religious spirits, occult spirits, witchcraft spirits (including Jezebel, Delilah and Apollyon) and spirits of antichrist

I bind all curses that have been spoken against me. I bless those who curse me, and pray blessings on those who despiteful use me.

I bind all spoken judgment made against me and judgments I have made against others
I bind the power of negative words from others, and I bind and render useless all prayers not inspired by the Holy Spirit; whether psychic, soul force, witchcraft or counterfeit tongues that have been prayed against me.

I am God's child. I resist the devil. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I put on the whole armor of God. I take authority over this day, in Jesus' name. Let it be prosperous for me, let me walk in your love, Lord. The Holy Spirit leads and guides me today, I discern between the righteous and the wicked.

I take authority over Satan and all his demons, and those people who are influenced by them. I declare Satan is under my feet and remain there all day. I am the righteous of God in Christ Jesus.

I am God's property. Satan you are bound from my family, my mind, my body, my home and my finances.

I confess that I am healed and whole. I flourish, I am long lived, stable, durable, incorruptible, fruitful, virtuous, full of peace, patience and love. Whatsoever I set my hand to do shall prosper, for God supplies all my needs. I have all authority over Satan, all demons, and beasts of the field. God, I pray for the ministry that you have for me. Anoint me, God, for all you have called me to do for you.

I call forth divine appointments, open doors of opportunity, God ordained encounters and ministry positions. I claim a hedge of protection around myself, spouse and children throughout this day and night.

I ask you God, in the name of Jesus to dispatch angels to surround me, my spouse and my children today, and to put them throughout my house and around our cars, souls and bodies. I ask angels to protect my house from any intrusion and to protect me and my family from any harmful demonic or other physical or mental attacks.

I ask this prayer in the name of Jesus AMEN.

The Orphan Spirit

Today I found a new term which I think it is important for us to know.
The new term which i learn today is The Orphan Spirit.
I've gathered a few info to explain what this term means..
The Orphan Spirit is a very dangerous spirit which can hinder our relationship with our Father.

Let's read the excerpt below..

Defeating the Orphan Spirit through Godly Belief Systems
Living Water Christian Fellowship


Dealing With An Orphan Spirit
Robert I Holmes

I was born into the kingdom at a time when the TV evangelists were coming down, judgment was upon the church and the prophets were getting into trouble. There was a lot of talk about the fall of great men of God, and leaders were, by and large, backing away from mentoring. I knew right from the outset that to grow in the gift, I needed to find someone better, older, wiser than me. On the music side, I picked up a guitar and started hanging out with gypsies. I penned songs and took them to be critiqued by folk song writers. I joined the church music team and learned all I could. But the prophetic. was not going to be that easy. In 1993 I went to John, my pastor and we drafted a list of every prophetic person we knew of in Australia: big or small, famous or infamous. I wrote 21 letters asking for help, opportunity to learn, time for a coffee, anything. Three responded. One invited me to his conference and gave me a copy of his book. One invited me to his church and read a copy of an article I had written. But the last fellow took a little more interest. Brother McIntyre had been in the game for quite some time. We did breakfast, we did lunch and we traveled to Melbourne together. I learned much from his teaching, but more from his conduct. He even read a copy of my first book (which incidentally, never saw the light of day). He and I grew busy with our schedules, and lost touch. but it made me hunger for more. I went back to my pastor, and we drew up a list of internationally recognised prophets. Only 12 letters this time. and 3 responded. Off we went again!

"I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you" (John 14:18).

Some hallmarks of an orphan spirit

An orphan is someone who had been abandoned by their primary care giver. The kingdom of God is based upon relationship, and the central relationship is one of parent to child - father to son. "Older women. should admonish the younger women" (Titus 2:4). "Timothy, my true son in the faith" (1 Tim. 1:2). "I am your father in the gospel" (1 Cor. 4:15). We become orphaned when those who are caring for us abandon us, or when those who should care, do not. We may have an orphan spirit because of the natural parenting we received. Perhaps you were literally abandoned, or adopted out. Perhaps you had an absent father, or abusive mother. Perhaps you raised yourself because of the financial condition of your family, or the number of children in the home. On the spiritual side, neglect happens at every level in institutional christianity. Leaders demand instead of admonish, berate instead of beseech, are busy with church life instead of the life inside the people, and are not being fathered by the system themselves. There are promises of parental love, but in reality, scarce little more than a request for the tithe.

So what are the hallmarks of an orphan spirit? - Inability to have lasting relationships - Hatred of authority, general distrust for leaders - General lack of direction for your life - Inability to make key, strategic decisions - Drawing near, then backing away from intimacy - A sense that they're just going to reject you anyway - A gnawing sense of failure, never quite good enough - An inexplicable drive to succeed, win, prove yourself

"But you have received the spirit of adoption" (Rom. 8:15 c.f Gal. 4:5)

The effects of adoption

Jesus knew we would suffer with doubt about belonging to the family of God. He knew that the church would generate thousands of mentors, but not many fathers, so He promised to give us the spirit of adoption. The very Spirit of God, who teaches us how to pray, gives us the confidence to cry "abba, Father". Under the laws of Australia, America and England an adopted child has certain privileges assigned to them that even natural offspring are not afforded. For example, you cannot disown them. You cannot disinherit an adopted child. They have equal share in the Will and Testament of the parent(s). This gives the adopted child unshakeable confidence that they will always belong - so far as the law is concerned. Our spirit ceases to feel orphaned when we have confidence that we belong to a family - God's family. It enables us to connect with our brothers and sisters, and yield ourselves fully to those in authority in the church.

"Appreciate those. who have charge over you in the Lord" (1 Thess. 5:12)

The issue of inheritance

When it comes to money, there are two ways we can receive it: by work or by grace; by labour or gift; by reaping & sowing or inheritance. Any orphan can work hard to earn a salary, indeed he can even become rich. But only a son can receive an inheritance. There are things that can only be obtained by inheritance - from being part of a family.

We must be rid of the orphan mentality, and receive confidence from Christ that we are His. Our behaviour will demonstrate what we believe. If we behave like a slave, a servant, a man under bondage to the law then we are orphans still. If we must work to be pleasing to God; must achieve to gain His favour; must obey this legal requirement or another to be acceptable (or saved) then we are orphans. But if we behave like a son, then we will work from that perspective. God the Father owns the land. It is His business, and one day we will own a part of it. So we work without guilt or need to please. We labour for Him because it is our pleasure.

"No longer a slave, but a son. and an heir of God through Christ" Gal. 4:7)

A harlots' son

We can probably name most of the people in the "hall of faith". But tucked away in vs 32 of Hebrews 11 is Jephthah. Jephthah's story is drawn out in Judges chapter 11. He was the son of a harlot. His father had a fling one night with a prostitute, and he was the result. His father's wife had other children, but these loving sibling half-brothers said, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman". Enter the orphan spirit. Disinherited, rejected, wounded in the house of his father Gilead.

So Jephthah fled, and the Lord brought him soldiers, warriors, mighty men in like the "endebted, distressed and disenfranchised". He was David in another skin. Now Ammon invaded the land of his father, and the elders of Gilead came to him, begging for help. They invited him back and accepted him as leader. Now the man was faced with his own heart - it was saying "But you drove me out, you hated me." Would he rise above that orphan voice? What if they said, "You will become head over us, your inheritance shall be of us"? So Jephthah told them he would do it, if he made them his chief. He threw his lot in with them, defeated the Ammonites, defeated the Ephraimites (42,000 of them) and became judge over Israel for six years. Rise up man of God! No wonder Hebrews says he was a man who "conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises". Noble indeed!

Hati Bapa
Orang yang mengenal hati Bapa, menyerahkan hidup sepenuhnya kepada Bapa.

Maka ia akan membuat hati bapa-bapa berbalik kepada anak-anaknya dan hati anak-anak kembali kepada bapa-bapanya, supaya jangan Aku datang memukul bumi sehingga musnah. (Maleakhi 4:6)

Ayat ini penting, kita telah dipanggil untuk menjadi anak-anak kandung Allah Bapa di Surga. Supaya intim, lebih dari keintiman suami istri, Allah menaruh RohNya dalam diri kita (Roma 8:15). Kita tidak mengalami janji-janji Tuhan karena kita tidak paham hati Bapa. Kita tidak mengenal Bapa. Ketika menghadapi masalah kita tidak memanggil Allah, “Abba, Bapa”. Kita bisa memberi karena Allah terlebih dahulu mengasihi, kita bisa memberi karena Allah telah terlebih dahulu memberi, kita bisa mengampuni karena Allah telah terlebih dahulu mengampuni.

Penghalang kita mengetahui hatinya Bapa, yaitu orphan spirit atau roh yatim piatu. Roh yatim piatu tidak sama dengan orang yatim piatu secara lahiriah, contohnya Yabes. Filipus punya roh yatim piatu, tanda-tandanya dia selalu melihat apa yang tidak ia punya. Filipus menuntut lebih untuk bisa bahagia atau melayani (Yohanes 14:8-18). Mengasihani diri sendiri, hanya melihat diri sendiri, membanding-bandingkan, mengukur kebahagiaan dari materi. Diberkati repot, dikutuki repot. Kecil tidak bersyukur, besar tidak bersyukur. Untuk mempelajari hati Bapa, harus hati-hati dengan hati diri kita sendiri. Mengukur kebahagiaan dari apa yang tidak dipunyai. Roh yatim piatu selalu punya alasan untuk menyalahkan keadaan. Sekalipun aku tidak punya uang atau tampang tapi aku adalah Anak Allah, ahli waris.

Kita perlu pilih-pilih terhadap apa yang masuk ke telinga kita, yang membangun iman kita. Iman orang besar adalah iman orang yang mengenal hati Bapa, bukan melihat kuasa.

Alasan pertama Allah memberikan Roh Kudus dalam hati kita selama-lamanya, supaya kita tidak menjadi yatim piatu. Kita harus berusaha mendapat perkenanan Tuhan. Roh yatim piatau membuat kita terlalu kawatir akan kehidupan kita. Yatim piatu suka membanding-bandingkan.kalau kita tahu kasih Bapa, kita tidak akan pernah iri. Kalau kita percaya Allah mencukupkan segala sesuatu, maka kita tidak akan pernah meresa kuwatir kekurangan.

Orang yang mengenal hati Bapa, menyerahkan hidup sepenuhnya kepada Bapa. Bukan pasif, tapi aktif. Firman itu di mulut manis, tapi pahit di perut. Kalau ingin mendapat berkat, kita harus balik kepada Bapa. Mari kita sepenuhnya mengarahkan hati kepada Bapa. Mari kita kembali melayani Allah. Mari jangan melayani untuk memuaskan diri kita sendiri. Mari kita melayani sebagai pernyataan hati Bapa bukan untuk memuasakan roh yatim piatu kita. Mempertemukan dua generasi. Bagaimana yang Bapak-bapak memiliki hati Bapak yang menuntun dan membimbing anak-anaknya, dan anak-anak memiliki hati anak yang menghormati orang tua.

Wow, aku anak Bapa!Yatim piatu melihat Firman sebagai beban, kerja, usaha. Anak melihat firman sebagai hak milik yang yang dicintai.Baptisan Roh Kudus, ketika menerima kepenuhan Bapa, merasa dekat dengan Bapa. Hak istimewa anak untuk menyebut Allah sebagai Bapa. Kita adalah anak dan sudah waktunya menyatakan Bapa kepada dunia melayani pelayanan.

Remember this!

Speak To Your Mountain

MARK 11:23 NKJ
23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.

"Talk to mountains? Do you think I'm crazy?"

Jesus talked to things, and taught that "whoever" could also speak to mountains.

A mountain is primarily any obstacle that stands in your way.

Faced with obstacles, most Christians pray to God. But Jesus told us to speak directly to the obstacle and tell it to be removed.

There is nothing wrong with discussing things with God. You should. But when something is blocking your progress -- Jesus said YOU should tell it to get out of the way.

Most Christians just speak to God about the mountain, instead of following Jesus' directions and speaking directly to the mountain.

Are you just talking to God about the problems in your life, instead of talking directly to the problems and telling them to be removed?

MATTHEW 17:20 NKJ
20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

According to Jesus, unbelief keeps us from speaking to our mountains.

What is the mountain in your life? What stands in the way of your progress? What holds you back from going forward and fulfilling God's plan?

Speak God's Word to that mountain!

Speak to the devil and his forces and tell them to get out of your affairs.

Speak to sickness and tell it that it can't stay in your body.

Speak to debt and financial lack and tell them to be removed from your life.

Speak to doubt, fear, and worry and tell them to be gone.

If you say, "I just can't believe it would do any good for me to talk to problems," that's why you still have them.

Read what Jesus said again, and again.

SAY THIS: I will speak to the mountains that try to hold me back.
