“7 KEYS - 7 DECREES - 7 DAYS”
An Intercessory Strategy Leading Us to Passover
April 2 - April 8, 2020
Oh come, let us go up! By faith Abraham ascended Mount Moriah, to the very place the Temple would one day stand to offer His only son saying, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb” (Gen. 22:8). David went up to the threshing floor of Ornan, the place King’s Solomon temple would later be built, to make an altar and bring sacrifices declaring “I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer that which costs me nothing . . .And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel” (2 Sam. 24: 24-25). And Jesus made His ascent, by faith in His Father’s plan, unto Jerusalem at the Passover season to be sacrificed as the perfect, spotless Lamb of God.
As we remember today the protection of the Ark of His presence; the blood applied on the doorposts and lintels on the homes of the Israelites as the death angel passed over; and the Blood of Jesus NOW applied to the mercy seat . . .Let us use the KEYS to ASCEND, INTERCEDE, and make DECREES by FAITH over our families, communities and our nation! “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom 6:23). “And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance” (Heb. 9:15). BEHOLD THE LAMB! And “They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads” (Rev 22:4). AMEN
Note: There are many “keys” throughout the Psalms of Ascent. On this, our final day in the intercessory strategy leading us to Passover, we are purposely citing only chapters without referencing specific verses within the “Keys and Decrees” portion below. Our prayer is that the reader would diligently search out hidden riches contained within these Psalms. Decrees have also been omitted in order for the reader to seek the LORD, listen and obey, and DECREE the keys He gives and directs! “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” (Prov. 25:2 KJV) May we continue as Kings and Priests unto the LORD ascending toward His glorious throne and soaring in the spirit of wisdom and revelation from glory to glory even forevermore!
FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURES:
Gen. 7:7 “Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark”
Ex. 12:3 “take a lamb for themselves, according to their fathers’ households, a lamb for ea(ch household”
Job 22:28 “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.”
-----------------------------------------------

2. PSALM 122 & 123: I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

3. PSALM 124 & 125: If it had not been the LORD who was on our side. . .Then the waters would have overwhelmed us. . .Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey . . .Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the LORD surrounds His people, From this time forth and forever. For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest On the land allotted to the righteous. ( I / WE) DECREE . . .
4. PSALM 126 & 127: When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream . . .The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad. . . Bring back our captivity, O LORD, As streams in the South . . .He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing . .Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. ( I / WE) DECREE . . .
5. PSALM 128 & 129: Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways
. . . The LORD bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children’s children. . . The LORD is righteous, He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. ( I / WE) DECREE . . .

7. PSALM 132 & 133: Arise, O LORD, to your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your saints shout for joy. . . For the LORD has chosen Zion: He has desired it for His dwelling place: This is my resting place forever; Here I will dwell . . .Behold how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing, Life forevermore. ( I / WE) DECREE . . .
DAY 8 - PASSOVER - The 50th Key and Decree:
PSALM 134 - BEHOLD, Bless the LORD All you servants of the LORD, Who by night stand in the house of the LORD! Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the LORD. The LORD who made heaven and earth, Bless you from Zion! ( I /WE) DECREE . . .
THE PRIESTLY BLESSING (Num 6:22-27)
And the LORD spoke to Moses saying; “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the say you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
AMEN AND AMEN!
