A Statement of Purpose ~
When in the course of human events it becomes
necessary for the people of God to gather together, united for a common
purpose, in order to loose the bonds of spiritual wickedness, and break the
bands that have restrained them from legally and spiritually obtaining what God
has entitled them, there are certain declarations that must be made a matter of
public record in order to establish the separation from all ungodly covenants,
peace treaties and the tyrannical ruler ship of a foreign prince and his
government.
We the People of the city of Pensacola and the
citizens of Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, do hereby make a public
declaration that we absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance
and fidelity to satan, otherwise known as the Prince
of this World; including all demonic principalities, powers, rulers of the
darkness, spiritual hosts of wickedness both on earth and in the heavenly
places. We renounce all covenants, contracts and compromise with this foreign
prince, and we resist and refuse the kingdom of darkness. We declare that it is
the right of the people to completely destroy and cut off any and all forms of satan's destructive form of government, abuses and
usurpations, and we do hereby exercise our rightful authority, by virtue of the
power afforded to us in the word of God, as heirs of the kingdom of God, and
those in covenant with God our Father, that this geographic region is hereby
reclaimed for the kingdom of God, as per the commandment of the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. [pursuant to legal regulations found in Gen.
1:26; Psalm 8:6; Luke 9:1,2; Luke 10:19-20; John 5:27; Col 1:12,13; 1 Pet. 2:9;
Acts 1:8; Rev. 5:10; 1 Thes. 1:5 and 1 Thes. 2:4 in the Holy Bible]. We will support and defend
the
We declare that every stronghold and all forms of
this satanic government are now displaced, and will continue to be torn down,
now and forevermore. The authority of the wicked oppressor and the yoke of his
burden has been broken, in Jesus' name. Those that
have walked in darkness and have dwelt in the land of the shadow of death have
seen the great Light of Christ. The government of the Lord Jesus Christ, the
One called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of
Peace has established His government in this city, and in all of Escambia and
Furthermore, we declare and decree that every form
of injustice and oppression be overturned. Every person that has been
negatively affected by the satanic influences of this former government, and
have experienced captivity, thievery, poverty, illness, or any form of
destruction including, but not limited to: all mental, emotional, physical and
spiritual attacks; withholding of finances, including any and all earthly and
spiritual inheritances; rightful promotions; retroactive financial
compensation; thievery through deception or fraud; unprofitable and/or corrupt business
entities, partnerships and other relationships – are now emancipated from this
tyrant, satan, and his subjugated ruler ship. And by
the virtue of the power of the Holy Spirit within us, representing and acting
as God's delegated authorities, we do order and declare the freedom of all
persons held as slaves, through the bondage of sin, sickness, poverty, mental
torment, deception, lies, addiction and other compulsive sins, are now and
henceforth free. Satan, you are hereby ordered to loose your hold on everything
that you have touched or taken, and repay and restore seven times more (or the
amount set by the Just Judge in Heaven), of which you have stolen, defrauded,
killed and destroyed. You are commanded to pay immediate restitution to the
children of God, as well as the City of
In addition, we do hereby declare and decree that:
We renew our covenant with God this day. Father, we
acknowledge our sin before you, for Your word says there
is no one who does not sin. We humbly admit our sins, transgressions and
shortcomings before You, and ask Your
forgiveness. We have had 40 days of
prayer to examine ourselves, and to allow You to show
us the areas where we need to change. We release any judgments that we have
made against others, and repent for judging those individuals. We choose to
forgive those that have sinned against us and knowingly or unknowingly hurt and
offended us. Father, we also ask You to forgive us for
seeking those things pertaining to greed, the lusts of the flesh and the pride
of life. We ask Your forgiveness for making covenants
and treaties with false gods, and for releasing us from those vows and
alliances. Please disentangle us from those things that are snares to us, and
once again take us as Your special treasure. You are a
faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy with those who love You. You said in Your word "If
My people who are called by My name would humble themselves, and pray and seek
Your face, and if we would turn from our wicked ways, You would hear us from
heaven, and would forgive our sin and heal this land." Thank you for your
forgiveness and for cleansing us from all unrighteousness. Thank you for Your restoration. We ask that You
impart grace to us that we might overcome our areas of weakness, and fill us
with the power of Your Holy Spirit to become effective witnesses to the rest of
the world. Please fill us tonight with Your presence,
Your love, and Your dynamic power, and enable us to witness with signs, wonders
and miracles to the world around us.
We declare that our land is healed. The very earth
is healed and will yield bumper crops of great fruitfulness to the farmers in
this area. We declare that the farms and agriculture is blessed beyond measure
and yields such great fruitfulness that there is no room to receive it or store
it, and it will be sold in abundance to other areas that suffer from drought
and meager crops. We declare that it is the wisdom of God, given to those that
work the ground, that will give them the knowledge and
understanding to grow large crops. When other geographic areas look to the
farmers in this area for their provision, the farmers and those in the
agricultural industry will boldly state that it is none other than the blessing
of the Lord that has enabled them to prosper. We thank You
that the wealth of the nations is stored up for us.
We declare that the economic conditions and the
commerce of this region is healed, and that there is no lack for good paying
jobs, affordable housing, food, provision and the common necessities of life.
We declare a blessing upon each and every individual and household, in Jesus'
name. We declare that those that have more than enough will be generous to
those that are in want, and through a spirit of generosity, being of one heart
and endeavoring to keep the unity of the brotherhood, great grace will rest
upon all. We declare that there will be distribution of goods and resources
that no one among us would lack of any good thing.
We declare that this area is free from sickness and
disease, and will be known for the healing and miracles of God.
We declare that the people institutionalized in
jails, juvenile detention facilities and the prisons will be rehabilitated by

bringing conviction of sin and repentance taking place in people's hearts and
lives.
We declare that there is no more drug dealing,
human trafficking, prostitution, or violent crimes such as rape, incest,
domestic violence or murder. There is no sale of illegal firearms, black-market
sales of child pornography or selling of babies.
We declare that women will not abort their babies,
and that every human life will be valued, esteemed and respected. We declare

perfect soundness in their bodies.

this geographic region, and that God has miraculously healed and restored
people's minds.
We declare that reputable business owners and those
that operate by principles of righteousness will prosper and increase. We
declare that the businesses have honest weights and scales. We declare the
blessing of the Lord rests upon those businesses, and that they will remember
the poor and needy. They will not withhold good when it is in their hand to
give, and they will remember that the generous man is blessed. We declare that
all businesses of ill repute that promote deceptive practices, thievery,
debauchery, sin and poor morality will either turn from their wickedness,
repent, and open businesses that God will bless and prosper – or, they will
immediately leave this area and relocate outside of Escambia and Santa Rosa
Counties.
We declare that our homes, our marriages and
families are blessed beyond measure, and that there are no more abandoned,
neglected, abused or foster children forgotten in the social services system.

spiritual needs met. We make it our goal that every child will be a part of a
loving family that upholds sound moral values and understands the importance of
loving God and loving others.
We declare that the elderly, disabled, the mentally
ill, the homeless, the widows and the orphans of society will no longer be
forgotten. We declare that the miraculous healing, delivering, and restoring
power of God has restored them and has brought creative miracles to their
lives, enabling them to live productively and fruitfully.
We declare that there is forgiveness, restoration
and unity between families. We declare that every broken relationship in this
geographic region is healed, restored and blessed, whether it is between
business owners, families, friendships, city and county governmental officials,
the body of Christ and others. We release those that have trespassed against
us, and we and ask You, God, to bless them as You
release a Spirit of Love, Generosity, Forgiveness and Reconciliation. Saturate
every heart with love; loose every form of bitterness, and heal every issue of
rejection, shame, discouragement, jealousy and unforgiveness.
We declare that every person is healed of offense, division, self-seeking, envy
and competitiveness.
We declare that the pastors and true shepherds of
the body of Christ will live the model of service and servant leadership that
Jesus and His apostles left as an example. We declare that every faction, every
denominational difference and striving for preeminence that has stood in the
way of true brotherhood and unity between the family of God is removed and put
under the blood of Jesus. We declare that the walls of unforgiveness,
the differences of denominations and doctrine, walls of pride, offense, and
self preservation have come down, and those walls will never be rebuilt, in
Jesus' name. We declare that we, as members of the body of Christ, endeavor to
maintain an attitude of love. We will rejoice in truth, we will bear the
burdens of our brothers and sisters, we will endure
trials in a Spirit of Grace, and seek the higher good of others. We declare and
we believe that love never fails, and that unity between churches will continue
to grow.
We declare that our military officers, enlisted
men, police officers and their families are blessed, and we command a hedge of
peace and protection around them as they endeavor to support and defend our
rights as American citizens. We ask that You, Father, grant them wisdom to
discern good and evil, and to be alerted in advance of any dangerous
situations. We ask that you give them godly wisdom and strategies to overcome
any adversary or enemy, and to diffuse any potentially dangerous situation. We
ask that you deliver them from harm's way and protect and preserve them, in
Jesus' name.
We declare that throughout our educational system,
our civil government, our legislative, executive and judicial government
officials are righteous men and women. We declare that they will submit to the
will and purposes of God, and that they will steward their position and responsibilities
with integrity, truthfulness, and faithfulness. We declare that those that have
abused their position, power or resources entrusted to them by God have been
disciplined, and where necessary, removed. We declare a changing of the guard
has taken place in order to fulfill Your will and
purposes, within city, county and church governmental leadership; that the
restructuring that is necessary to bring great fruitfulness and establish
divine order has been set in place. Those that God has chosen for promotion
have taken their rightful seat of authority. We declare that righteousness
exalts our city and this region.
A proclamation has been made by the people of God;
the citizens of the city of Pensacola, and the inhabitants of Escambia and
Santa Rosa Counties: We declare that the city of Pensacola and this region is
the forerunner of true Apostolic ministry, and that God has given us this model
as an example for others to follow. We declare that God will use this example
to turn the rest of this nation and other foreign nations to Christ. We will
encourage, support and endeavor to maintain the unity and love within this
region, and we ask that You, Father, command the blessings and Your anointing to overflow with abundance. We declare that
the city of Pensacola and all the surrounding regions of Escambia and Santa
Rosa Counties are marked for a historically defined moment of a God-birthed,
God-sustained revival. We declare that the heart of this city has been turned
to Christ, and that we are participants as well as witnesses to this divinely
orchestrated shift in power, authority, direction and momentum. We humbly
petition Divine Providence and we commission the Armies of Heaven to protect,
oversee, administer and establish these decrees, so that light will shine on
our ways. As we have believed and decreed, let it be done, in the mighty name
of Jesus Christ. Done on the twenty-ninth day of February, in
the year of our Lord two thousand and eight.
