How to Change the Spiritual Atmosphere Over Cities
I recently traveled to the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) convention in Las Vegas. I had not been to Las Vegas for over 25 years. Truly many changes had come to the city. As you know, it is called "sin city" by America and what happens in Las Vegas, supposedly stays in Las Vegas...we know the reason behind that thinking. When my associate, Abdiel Ortiz, the director of our Kingdom Life University "School of media and communications" and I got off the airplane we both felt the same thing, a tremendous overwhelming sense of sadness. We had just come under the atmosphere of one of the reigning principalities of that area. I learned from almost 50 years of ministry in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Tampa how to discern demonic principalities and their influence over a city. Daniel fought such powers when He prayed and his prayers were hindered. When the archangel Michael came and announced to Daniel that the reason for the delay was the Prince of Persia had delayed Daniel's prayers for 21 days. Then Michael said, Daniel, "I must now leave you for I need to go and fight the Prince of Greece". There is war in the heavenlies over districts, territories and cities. We were facing the emotion of tremendous sadness that the prince over Las Vegas has brought to the city. A city of beauty, golden promise and riches to only bring false pleasure and disappointment. So Abdiel and I went to check in to the hotel... Circus Circus. Fortunately we were placed in one of the upper floors that overlooked the city. I opened my laptop, checked into the hotel internet and opened up our WATV worship channel and we began to worship over the city! After about 30 minutes we got a breakthrough and we began to pray in the Spirit. We were feeling more and more joy and liberty in our hearts, minds, emotions and our spirits. Then we felt a surge like breaking through a physical sound barrier. Joy and peace filled the room and a great feeling of authority over the atmosphere of the city. We began to declare over Las Vegas God's divine purpose for the city and a breaking of bondage over people's hearts and lives. It was glorious (that means weighty) and for the next 5 days we would wake up each morning and worship and pray for about an hour. I have never felt such a change of atmosphere! We witnessed to no less than 30 - 40 people and everyone seemed totally open to receive God's message of love and life. Jesus said, "Have I not given you power to tread on serpents and over ALL the power of the enemy"! Luke 10:19 IF WE ARE UNDER JESUS AUTHORITY, WE HAVE HIS SAME AUTHORITY UPON US. And He said,, "All power is given to me in heaven and earth..." Matthew 28:18 That covers Las Vagas. JESUS DEMONSTRATES HOW AUTHORITY WORKS
