In discussing Prayer as Executive Authority, let’s first present some key definitions. An Executive is one who has been delegated or entrusted with the power to legitimately engage in corporate management or administrative activities and actions. Authority is the right to might in effecting delegated power within assigned spheres of influence. Prayer is an act or activity that acknowledges God’s sovereignty, Lordship, and ownership over all things created and our total dependency on His power, presence, peace, provision, and on Him for sustenance, guidance, and protection.
Prayer has and affords us executive (having the power to put plans, actions, or laws into effect) authority to establish and execute in the earth as representative sons on behalf of the expressed or revealed will, plan, and purpose of our Heavenly Father.
Governmental prayer, as primarily a corporate expression, is a high-level (filled with divine intent / potent / penetrative), high-point (status-prioritized as apostolic) and high-place (positional as seated in heavenly places in Christ) of executive authority as we partner with Him in aligning heaven’s expectation with earth’s execution.
Governmental prayer therefore aligns with:
- Things macro and predetermined
- Divine intent and expectations
- The revealed and known will of God
- Things defined and designed in Christ
- Executive authority of our Christ-representation and location
The true strength of governmental prayer is in our corporate-ness, oneness, and connectedness in execution – for corporately, we exert greater execution force of accomplishment to complete His eternal predeterminations.
Our prayer: So Lord, as all things spiritual must be discovered and learnt, teach us the how of exercising executive authority given to us individually but greater still corporately in Christ, to execute on His behalf His predetermined will, plan, and purpose from prophetic insight then through apostolic blueprints to build. Amen
