ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
SHORT BOOK DESCRIPTION:
How does a person move from a place deficient of light? How can an individual shift from a place of complete and utter chaos, obscurity, apathy, and adversity? The pathway to transformation is through in-depth conversations with the One True God of Creation–El·ō·hēm'. For you to move to a place of prophetic providence, your conversation must be divinely inspired. Hebrews 11:3 states: “The worlds were framed by the Word of God.” Framing begins with an idea, expands as a result of the imagination, and gives life through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit through divine utterance for a specific purpose. Declaring the Word of God releases the creative power of God for authentic transformation.K. E. Allen designed this book to draw you into a deeper conversation with the Father to renew your prayer life, mend your brokenness, enlighten your pathway, and arrange your chaos according to the divine order of God.

PREFACE
The Call
As you read this section, take time to prayerfully answer the questions.
Will you answer the call to Intercede for others?
There are times in life when one encounters God in such tangible ways that it becomes physically overwhelming to the senses. I still remember it like it was yesterday the moment I first experienced God’s hand upon my life. This particular moment was different from times past. It was during my second year at Oral Roberts University when the Spirit of God visited me in an unusual way. I can only describe it as being cloaked with a robe weighing more than I could carry. Throughout that period, I would try to eat and socialize with others like a normal 19-year-old student. However, the spirit of intercession would overwhelm me and I would run across campus weeping. What a foolish site I must have been.
During those times, I would run back to my room and cry out to God and pray in the spirit until relieved of the overpowering burden lodged in the center of my chest. As I often recant that period in my life to others, I always say, “I fasted more days than I ate.” When I look back on that time, I realize God Himself was forming me into His intercessor.
Some say I have an anointing to pray and fast. The truth is the desire for God’s presence, His will, and purpose often creates a spiritual desperation no natural food can satisfy. Seeing the will of God accomplished is true fulfillment.
By applying the principles of the Word of God regarding fasting and intercession, I have witnessed the reversal of court decisions, dramatic transformation of individuals, miraculous healings, and the restoration of family members.
It is God’s desire to use man to accomplish His will in the earth. Throughout the scriptures God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary feats through intercession and fasting. It is only by His grace, through faith, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit that believers accomplish anything, including interceding and fasting on the behalf of others.
Think about these few scriptural examples:
In Scripture, the intercession of Moses convinced God not to destroy the people of Israel (Numbers 14:11-21).
Will you be the one to convince God to show mercy as Moses did?
Esther, organizing three days of fasting and intercession, delivered the Jewish nation from the plot of Haman–a plot that would have annihilated the entire Jewish race (Esther 4:16).
Will you be the one who prays for your nation to experience true deliverance?
The Scriptures also mention Anna, who for 84 years worshipped the Lord with continual fasting and praying until the birth of Christ (Luke 2:21-38).
How long are you willing to intercede to see Christ born in others?
These are powerful examples. Even so, the ultimate act of intercession was Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection from the dead. Christ’s altruistic act empowers the believer to live an overcoming life. He has proven to be the Chief Intercessor who ever-lives to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25).
Engaging in the selfless act of intercession displays the characteristics of Christ, who is merciful and kind. He shows mercy to a thousand generations. Therefore, He is constantly looking for someone to demonstrate His personality and act as a bridge between Him and mankind.
God desires, is requesting, and choosing, people who will build a wall of justice and institute His Kingdom rule on earth as it is in heaven. He desires people who will reinforce His purposes. He desires someone who will be persistent to establish His heart in the earth.
God desires hedge builders and gap fillers. He is calling for people willing to sacrifice their lives to preserve a person, a business, a community, a city, a region, a country, or a nation.
In Numbers Chapter 16, the Scriptures record: when the sons of Korah came against Moses, God sent a plague among the people as judgment. The Bible says Aaron lit the censer, made amends for the people, and stood between the living and the dead. His act of intercession stopped the plague (Numbers 16: 1-50).
As one intercedes according to the heart of God, the words spoken impede the strategies of the enemy and frame God’s prophetic destiny.
Whose destiny are you willing to revolutionize through intercession?
Introduction
Who is the Watchman?
The watchman is responsible for framing prophetic destiny spoken by the council of God. The watchman’s anointing allows one to perceive accurately the enemy approaching from a distance to warn the people of God of the plots and plans of the enemy (Ezekiel 33:1-6).
Conversely, when introduced to Christ, believers usually gain knowledge of one dimension or one kind of prayer–“the prayer of petition.” This type of prayer involves asking the Father for personal needs and desires. Unfortunately, because of insufficient training, countless believers fail in this initial level of prayer and lose the desire or interest before discovering the true, hidden treasures found in prayer. Discerning the extent by which believers can communicate with the Father creates an inward hunger and thirst to know Him more.
As one matures and develops a disciplined prayer life, prayer becomes a conversation based on God’s covenant, God’s heart, God’s mind, and God’s purpose. God and His purpose are the center and focus of every dialogue. Essentially, prayer is an exchange of ideas about His purpose pertaining to one’s family, ministry, business, community, and nation. This is the key to successful prayer–exchanging self generated thoughts for God’s thoughts. When one prays apart from God’s desires, there is no guarantee of answered prayers. The assurance comes when one’s desires align with His. Asking according to His will cultivates the confidence that He hears, He answers (1 John 5:14-15), and He is faithful. Understanding God’s authenticity facilitates a deeper level of conversation based on relationship.
The depth of one’s conversation depends on the depth of the relationship. The more intimately one knows a person, the deeper the conversation. Closeness automatically creates an atmosphere for a transparent, authentic exchange. Intimate conversation allows face-to-face interactions in which nothing is hidden. This kind of exchange allows one to know the secret place of another’s heart well enough to speak for them. This is the watchman.
In other words, the watchman relies on his intimate relationship with God to preserve his sensitivity in spiritual warfare. In essence, the requisite for the watchman maintaining his prophetic precision is standing in the presence of God waiting for instruction (Habakkuk 2:1-2).
The watchman surrounds himself with other prophetic gifts, such as gatekeepers. Gatekeepers war at spiritual gates, to prevent the enemy from gaining entrance into the lives of individuals, families, ministries, businesses, communities, regions, states, countries, and nations. In a symphonic synergistic way, the gifts flow in concert to provide warning to the people of God by discerning the will of God and receiving intercessory strategy from the Holy Spirit to overcome an already defeated adversary.
Word to the Watchman
Word to the Watchman from the one whose…eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect toward him…(2 Chronicles 16:9).
While you are watching for Me, I am watching over you. Watch not on your own but watch through My eyes that you may see clearly. I watch over My Word to perform it. Therefore, in your watching, speak the Word. I will perform and manifest the Word you speak.
This is the season and the time I will arise to establish and confirm what I have spoken. That which I have sworn, I will perform. Watch and wait to see what I will do. For this is the season of fulfillment. This is the season of manifestation.
Pressing is a part of the watching process, so be encouraged! Your regimented press will yield creative fruit others can enjoy.
Keys to Framing
Your
Prophetic Destiny
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day (Genesis 1:1 -5).
Genesis Chapter 1 paints a picture of the earth and the deep prior to creation. The Earth was without form. It was in a confused state. It was a wilderness and a place of chaos. The Earth was empty. The Earth had no frame or clear form. The Earth was void of organization and lacked the basic essentials to display an articulate image of itself. It lacked the ability to produce. It was a desolate place. In essence, the essential character of the Earth was not visible. Alongside of desolate Earth, existed the deep that was deficient of light. Both were entities operating outside prophetic destiny. Nevertheless, the Earth was meant to be a conduit for man to carry out the purpose and plan of God, and a place of productivity. The water destined to be a source of refreshment, growth, and life.
As I describe the condition of the earth and the deep, you may see yourself or certain aspects of your life or someone else’s life in the same condition. If this is the case, we have to begin asking significant questions: How does one move from a place deficient of light? How does one move from a place of apathy and complacency? How does one move from a place of misery, and continual misfortune? How does one move from a place of complete and utter chaos?
Over the next few pages we will explore, in short, the fundamental keys for moving from a place of frustration and lack into your prophetic destiny. Through your trust and confidence towards God, you must learn to cultivate an atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to manifest. Subsequently, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit you must be able to speak the Word of God accurately.
The Word of God acts as a streetlight in the midst of your “moments of darkness” and allows you to see clearly the path God has designed for you. Ultimately, as you imitate the blueprint witnessed at creation, you release the creative power of the God of Creation, Elohim, for prophetic destiny.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
As you decree and declare, there are foundational, scriptural principles necessary for successful application of this resource.
Pray to the Father as Jesus instructed his disciples to do in Matthew 6:9
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Pray in the name of Jesus, based on the following scriptures: John 14:13; John 14:1; John 15:16; John 16:23-26
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John. 14:13).
Pray in faith with a forgiving heart.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses (Mark. 11:24-25).
When you decree and declare, you are stating emphatically and authoritatively an order, directive, or command enforced by God’s covenant promises. As you decree and declare the Word, two principles are in operation:
By His own agreement, God obligates Himself to fulfill His promises (Matthew 18:19-20).
When you exercise your God given authority through the Word, it neutralizes the enemy (Matthew. 16:19).
The following is an example of praying or declaring the Word:
Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof (Isaiah 42:10).
Prophetic Decree:
(A simple definition for a prophetic decree is communicating by the leading of the Holy Spirit, and with inherit authority the heart and mind of God at the opportune moment for maximum Kingdom results.)
We sing unto the Lord a new song and His praise from our region. We sing a song in our region that has never been heard. The song that You give us shall pierce the darkness and open the windows, gates, and portals of heaven for the King of glory to come in perpetually.
Or
We decree and declare that a new song and praise be released to the Lord from our region. We decree and declare that a song be released from our region that has never been heard. We decree and declare it will pierce the darkness and open the windows, gates, and portals of heaven for the King of Glory to come in perpetually.
Use the scriptures referenced at the bottom of each prayer to help you begin to know what God is saying. Then, find additional scriptures. Take the time to look up the words in a Bible concordance, Bible dictionary, and regular dictionary for further understanding. As you read, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. If a particular Word or phrase seems to stand out more than others, stop there and ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to reveal or say to you. This will assist you in writing your own prophetic decrees.
Take time to meditate on the words, phrases, or passages the Holy Spirit highlights to you. To meditate simply means to think about the words, phrases, or passages continually and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you further. You may recite the words, phrases, or passages repeatedly or picture them in your mind while praying in the Spirit. The key is to place yourself in a position for the Father to speak to your heart.
The prayers in this book were derived from my intimate conversations with the Father. As you prayerfully decree, declare, and meditate on the prayers in this book, I pray you are stirred to develop a deeper level of conversational intimacy with Him. I challenge you to begin to frame your prophetic destiny through your own conversations with the Father.
The First Watch
God’s Divine Order
We declare we will exercise DOMINION, rulership, ownership, and control in every area under the mandate you have given us. We declare the sovereign rule of Christ in our lives and over every area to which the Lord gives us authority and influence. We declare land ownership for Kingdom cultivation purposes.
We declare that we are a FRUITFUL people. Therefore, we declare an increase leading to beneficial, profitable, abundant results, and growth for the Kingdom of God in our lives. We declare a grace upon our lives, which comes through Jesus Christ, that is conducive for productivity. We declare that we are abounding in fruit.
We declare the principle of MULTIPLICATION is active in us through the creative Word of God. We declare that we are GREAT people for the Kingdom of God. We declare that we increase and multiply exceedingly and that we are strong Kingdom citizens. We declare that we increase and multiply in our substance in every area, thereby eliminating lack.
We actively REPLENISH every person, place or thing we come in contact with through the power of the Holy Spirit. We declare that we live life to the full until it overflows because of Christ. We declare that we are accomplished according to the order of God’s ORIGINAL INTENTION and DIVINE ORDER. We declare that we are a consecrated people and our hands are full of supply. We are complete and satisfied. We declare that we mutually fill each other’s gaps and attack with united strength every empty place. We declare that we bring fresh oil, and an authentic supply through the authority of Christ. We declare that we are a people who inspire and nourish others.
Through our passion for Christ, we impose Kingdom mandates wherever we go. We repress and destroy every thought, idea, activity, and action contrary to the counsel of God by the Authority conferred upon us in Christ. We declare we are overcomers in every aspect of our lives. Every place You send us, we declare Your Kingdom come and Your counsel be established. We expand the Kingdom of God and restrain the kingdom of darkness. We shatter the bands of injustice, disengage intense difficulties, and declare the deliverance of the afflicted. We bring every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. By the superior force found in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, we overpower every adversary!
We declare that every confused, empty place, every area that lacks a coherent image, formal structure, orderly arrangement, or divine set order, begin to produce and operate according to God’s original intention. We declare that every gap, ineffectual, obscure, dark place receive the wind, breath, and mind of God. We declare that the breath of God is moving, and imparting energy, executive and administrative power, and Shekinah glory. We declare that the breath of God is releasing and creating an atmosphere for the creative Word of God to bring about restoration, order, harmony, and wholeness according to God’s original purpose.
We declare that every valley be lifted and filled up, and every mountain and hill is made low. We decree and declare that every crooked and uneven place is made straight and level, and the rough places a plain. We declare that the glory of the Lord shall be revealed in our lives, in our families, in our ministry, in the Body of Christ, in our city, in our state, in our country, in our nation, and in our world.
We agree with the Word which declares we are blessed! We are blessed to PROSPER, PRODUCE, FILL THE EARTH, and TAKE OVER wherever we go!
Father, we are looking for You and expecting You to respond. We linger for and eagerly anticipate You to advance on our behalf in order that we may pass through, transform, mature, and spring forth again with KINGLY DOMINION.
We seal this prayer in the name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Come away my love,
Your winter has past.

Be Restored
When you make the decision to come and drink from My fountain and lay prostrate before Me, you will see My original intent and divine activity. In the place by Me, you will conceive what is predetermined, and inevitable. Come and see what I have purposed. I will accomplish what I set out to perform. As you surrender to me, you will produce fruit that will remain. Allow Me to prepare you. I am attending to you and putting your life in order because you are Mine.
As you lay before Me, you will give birth to every purpose and plan. I will bring forth! I will deliver! It is I that impregnates! It is I that causes growth! It is I that brings forth and delivers! Surrender to the process that I may bring about what I have ordained.
In this time, I will rebuild what was destroyed. I will heal every injury and make you whole again. Everything that was stripped and spoiled, I will restore. From the remains you will rise. I will give you beauty for ashes. Out of the heap will rise one that I have formed and fashioned for My purpose. It is I that heals you. If I heal a thing, is it not healed? If I restore a thing, is it not restored? BE HEALED! BE RESTORED!

Today I extend My promise of release through the blood of the everlasting covenant. It is a covenant of peace, and whoever will come under this covenant will enjoy tranquility. I placed you in a position to surround you, and guard you because I am your protector, defender, and your military force.

The Promise of a River
My desire is toward you. Can you discern the breath of My eager pursuit of you? My love for you is perpetual, and unending. With My constant goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and abiding favor, I have seized you as My own, to establish, recreate, and cause you to continue. In this season, you will advance and quicken your pace.
You will plant spiritual vineyards where people may drink of the new wine of My Spirit. I am raising up true watchmen that will bring My people to a place where they may commune with Me. There is a people who have stayed relentlessly on their ward to see and watch for Me. This is My remnant.
I will bring them, draw them, and gather them together as a shepherd gathers his sheep to nourish and protect. They will come. From this people will flow a stream, a river that flows from My throne into the Earth.
This people, My people will walk before Me with clean hands and pure hearts because of their intimacy with Me, because of My covenant, and because of My Name by which I have called them.
Then a song will arise in Zion that will cause the radiance of My Son to shine and the river of My Spirit to flow. The Light of My Son will warm the coldest of hearts, and the river will water the faint and thirsty souls of My beloved. This people will I abundantly satisfy with Myself. I have heard the cries of repentance and have seen the longing heart and My desire is toward them.

A Word to California
California would not be in your heart if it were not in My heart. For not only is California in My heart, but also My eye is on California. I will come upon that great state like a wave, in the south first, then in the north. My spirit will move from both ends of the state toward the middle. Though the enemy has set up a wicked platform, I will raise a righteous platform in California; a spiritual wave it will be called.
A Prayer for California
We stand in the gap and repent on behalf of California. Forgive us for our idolatrous ways. Forgive us for the perversion that comes up before You from our state. Father, forgive us for possessing hearts filled with selfish-ambition, greed, and murder. Cleanse us from defilement that has come through the spirit of death, the spirit of Molech, the love of Mammon, and the worship of idols.
Let the blood of Christ appease Your anger and advert the judgment You have determined for the State of California. We apply the Blood of Christ over the entire state of California. Father, remember Your covenantal roots that You have established in this great state.
We uproot, pull down, tear down, and destroy every evil root structure in the name of Jesus the Christ. In its place we build and plant in righteousness in the state of California through continual acts of righteousness. We declare that the earth of California is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell in California. We declare this is the generation of them who seek You, and seek Your face.
As the believers in California intercede from our place in Christ Jesus, who is head of all things, we declare the principalities and powers over this state will NOT be able to subdue the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Awaken and ignite an unquenchable flame of Your Spirit in the hearts and minds of those in this generation that would blaze down to a thousand generations.
Father, we ask You to use us to unite the believers in this area, so You can allow us to birth forth an awakening that leads to worldwide revival.
In the Name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.

The Enemies Strategy–Conspiracies
Oftentimes in different facets of our lives, we find ourselves surrounded by an invisible force field that seems impenetrable. At other times, the people we work with cannot work together in harmony for no apparent reason or for some insignificant reason. In those times, it is vital to seek direction from God and gain spiritual insight and strategy from the Holy Spirit.
Oftentimes the enemy uses spiritual strategies to distract, detain, and ultimately destroy the divine purposes of God for our lives. One of his tactics is to use conspiracies. A conspiracy is a plot, plan, or scheme operating in a covert manner producing division and schism between individuals, groups, ministries, nations, etc.
After reading 2 Chronicles 24 and seeing how conspiracy led to the death of the priest Zechariah, and the execution of God’s judgment against Judah and Jerusalem, this prayer was inspired by the Holy Spirit to pray over the ministry where I serve.
A Prayer against Conspiracies
We decree and declare that every conspiracy, coalition, collusion and secret alliance, known and unknown, meant to bring about division, schism and separation, be revealed and severed.
We decree and declare that every plot, covert scheme meant for our destruction be brought to naught.
We decree and declare that every secret agreement containing a harmful objective be broken by the power that is in the name of Jesus the Christ.
We decree and declare that every entity in the natural and spiritual realms operating with deceitful and treacherous intentions, be exposed, uprooted, and expelled.
We disassociate ourselves, our loved ones, our ministry, our pastor, our pastor’s wife, our pastor’s children, every intercessor, the Worship Arts Ministry, and the Production Ministry, from all unlawful unions, alliances, affiliations, integrations, and secret understandings. Instead, we decree and declare that those who are willing to walk in cooperation and collaboration be drawn together to fulfill the divine purpose and destiny of God for our lives and for the ministry.
We sever every clique, connection, faction, federation, guild, partnership, and syndicate that has gathered together against us, our loved ones, our ministry, our pastor and his family, every Intercessor, the Worship Arts Ministry, and the Production Ministry.
We declare Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
We seal this prayer in the name of Jesus the Christ. Amen!
