Receive Your Breakthrough When Spiritual Warfare Intensifies: 9 Declarations That Make Demons Flee
We recently had a very unusual service take place at our church, where people were ministered to and incredible healings took place.
Relationships and families were restored before the service was even over, as one breakthrough after another was manifesting all over the room. This was all preceded by a prophetic word I had received and delivered from the Lord:
“The Spirit of the Lord says, This is a day of great breakthrough that has been designated from your King. Breakthrough in My Church, breakthrough in nations, breakthrough in the born-again ones.
“For the seasons of time that have produced oppression and heaviness, the Lord says, this day, anointing is flowing from the throne to break through for situations that you have long dealt with, breakthrough from disease, and from hopelessness. It is the day of breakthrough.
“It is the day of breakthrough in the nations. It is a day of breakthrough in the heavens, opening them for new revival and awakening. For the great breakthrough that has been decreed and stated by faith’s confession, this day, I loose it to you. I loose it in the earth realm, I loose it in this nation, and I loose it in the world.
“An anointing has begun to break the back of the oppressors and break the evil one’s hold. For I say unto you, the authorities of hell that have reigned over this nation are breaking this day. I’m releasing the anointing of breakthrough. I am the Anointed One, and I go before you to break you through.
“Oppressive nights will be broken today. There will be a breakthrough for futures today. There will be a breakthrough against bondage and addiction today. This is the day of breakthrough.
“The Lord says, Receive your breakthrough. Receive your breakthrough.”
As Carol and I were worshiping along with the congregation during our church service, I asked her to agree in prayer with me. We prayed as the praise team continued to minis-ter, and about a minute later, one of the two angels that are assigned to my life leaned over and spoke into my ear. These two angels are with me whenever I’m ministering. They were given to me when I first accepted my apostolic calling, and they will show or communicate things to me concerning the Spirit realm. In addition to these two angels, there are angels present in our services all the time: the seraphim, as well as the government and awakening angels. We need to understand that the Spirit realm is real; it’s not imaginary.
That morning, the angel spoke into my ear these words from Micah 2:13: “Messiah the Breaker is rising, and there will be great breakthrough. This is Breakthrough Sunday.” When I heard those words from the angel, I saw, in the Spirit realm, King Jesus on the throne of Heaven. It was a spiritual picture; it wasn’t literally there, but it was real. When He stood up, it was just as I’ve taught in the past concerning the Standing King anointing: the anointing that was upon Him began to run down, filling the altar area and soaking it with oil.
When that happened, something occurred that I had not seen in a while. I was in Vancouver, British Columbia, when I first saw breakthrough angels. They had huge mal-lets with which they began to strike the ground, and as their mallets made contact with the earth, the angels would call out, “Break up, break out, break through!”
I had been saying to the Lord for weeks, “Lord, things aren’t loose the way they should be. I want to see people healed and set free. I want to see breakthroughs happen in their lives. And even the angel realm, Lord, it’s there, but it’s not quickened, it’s not as alive. We need You to touch us. We need Holy Spirit. We need You so desperately right now to anoint the atmosphere.”
This particular morning was the first time in several years that I had seen these angels, and they were spinning and smacking the altar area with their mallets. The shout of Heaven was coming through them: “Break up, break out, break through” to the point that when the mallets hit the ground, there was a splattering of the anointing oil, like the oil that had flowed down off the robe of King Jesus. There was an anointing for breakthroughs flowing, and some-thing supernatural was taking place that I knew was going to flow from our house of worship to all over our nation.
After the first angel had whispered in my ear, I went up on the platform, and when I reached the top step, the other angel that was assigned to my life handed me a scroll. On the scroll were listings of breakthrough declarations that were to be released in our service that very morning. The amazing thing was that I could read the scroll. That’s never happened to me. I took the scroll, and I didn’t unroll it, yet I knew very plainly what was written on it. I can’t explain how, but somehow the message on the scroll that the angel handed me was internalized inside me and started coming up to my mind, which is a dimension of Holy Spirit.
The phrase is hupomimnéskó: “He calls it to mind” (Strong’s G5279). As I began to read and declare just some of what was listed on the scroll concerning breakthroughs, there were miracles, healings, and restitution being activated across the congregation. These included physical healing, emotional healings such as depression and oppression, and restoration of relationships with family and prodigals. We have had many testimonies come forth concerning these breakthroughs.
We need the Ekklesias around the nation to grab hold of this. The breaker anointing is available to break the causes, lies, and deception that have alienated families and scattered their children. It’s time to step into the anointing of King Jesus and, by faith, proclaim, “This is mine! I’m taking back what the enemy stole. My God is the God of breakthrough!”
When Carol and I were at home after the service, we heard that at 11:09 a.m. that morning, while we were in the middle of a Holy Spirit interruption of the day, an earthquake had occurred with the epicenter being only about 10 minutes from our church building. It had taken place while we were praying, singing, and declaring breakthrough.
A Demonic Prince Attack
Now, I need to describe what had taken place earlier that Sunday morning before the church service had begun.
On that morning, at 5:30 a.m., I was awakened with a demonic attack that was ferocious. I hadn’t fought that kind of demon prince and demon powers in a very, very long time. It was quite a battle, and it was causing me to feel perplexed and confused. I kept wondering what in the world was going on. I arrived at the church, and it didn’t let up; it was still happening. Of course, I had been binding it in the Name of Jesus and was decreeing:
I am a son of God; His DNA is in me.
I have covenant rights, the Word of God, and His promises.
My King’s authority is delegated to me, and I can use it, and I AM using it.
The angels assigned to the church, and to my life, are greater than all the powers of hell.
And then I said, “Holy Spirit, help me pray. Help me, help me. You’re far more powerful than this. Help me break this through.”
I was in my office for several hours praying in my Spirit language. I was in a spiritual warfare battle, wrestling with hell and with principalities and powers, as Ephesians 6:10-12 talks about. I knew it had something to do with what was to happen that morning, but I had no idea what. I was completely clueless and had actually reached the point of saying, “Lord, I can’t do this. I can’t do the service. If this doesn’t lift, I don’t know what to do. I will go out there, and I’ll just stand, because I don’t know what to do. You’ve got to help me.” That’s how intense the attack felt to me.
While in my office, I began to put on the whole armor of God, speaking these words:
The belt of truth is on me.
I have the breastplate of righteousness; I am the righteousness of God.
I’ve got the boots on: the gospel of the Kingdom.
My shield is up. This fiery attack is going to be quenched by the power of God. You cannot win, devil.
I’m going to conquer this in Jesus’ Name. I bind it. I have my helmet in place, and I am saved. I’m free because of the Cross.
Then I asked Holy Spirit, “Please help me pray and release angels to assist me.” Romans 8:26 tells us that Holy Spirit gets hold of things together with us. We don’t know how to pray as we ought, but He can pray through us what is necessary, right, and proper. So I prayed, and the following is what happened. It might be hard for you to believe, and if so, just put it on the shelf.
I began to pray one of the boldest prayers that I’ve ever prayed in my life, and I said, “Holy Spirit, get hold of this together with me.” When I said that, there was a jolt in my spirit, and I began to pray in the languages of the Holy Spirit, calling out names that I somehow knew were the names of angels. In bold Spirit language, Holy Spirit was anointing me as I called out the names of our princes—our angels. Over and over, I would call out a name and then make a command.
Then, and this is very unusual, and I didn’t consciously do it, after I very boldly called out a name and command, I pointed to the north. And another command, and I pointed to the south. Then again, to the east and to the west. I knew that these bold commands were instructing Angel Armies to assist, and that Holy Spirit was orchestrating it.
After this, I went downstairs for the service and sat in the front row, still feeling and processing all of this, knowing I had just experienced something supernatural. I don’t even know how to explain it. It has only happened one other time, when Holy Spirit prompted me to do something similar before a Summit with my brother, Dutch, and Hank Kunneman. At that time, I had said, “Lord, don’t make me do that in front of them,” and God said He had something He wanted to release. So I said, “Guys, hold up a minute,” and I began to declare, and the angel names came.
If you’re thinking that sounds weird, even I told Carol after the service that it was weird, but I’ve stopped saying that. It’s not weird, it’s just supernatural.
As the service started, I was still wrestling with all of this, and that’s when I reached over and grabbed Carol’s hand, saying, “You have to agree with me in prayer about this. God said we need to bind this. Something’s got to happen.”
