TAKE YOUR TERRITORY! This is a significant year in Canadian history. 150 years ago, on July 1st, 1867, the Dominion of Canada was officially formed. The Fathers of ConfederaCon took Psalm 72:8 as Canada’s moIo, declaring: “He shall have dominion from sea to sea.” As we celebrate our Bi-‐Centennial, we recognize the great faith and perseverance of explorers and missionaries who were determined to see that propheCc scripture fulfilled. They forged through rugged mountains, forests and waterways to open territories for seIlers, evangelize the naCve people and establish communiCes from coast to coast. Today, Canada not only stretches “from sea to sea” but also extends north to “the ends of the earth”. Canadians can say “We’ve fulfilled our desCny; we’ve taken our territory.” But does Jesus really have “dominion” in Canada? Is He living in the hearts and direcCng the lives of Canadians? Take Your Territory! If you are a believer in Christ, you have spiritual authority, based on Canada’s founding scripture, to take your territory -‐ to stake your claim – to give Jesus dominion in your community, in your family and in your personal life. Take Territory in Your City: Proverbs 11:11 says, “By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted.” Begin declaring blessing over your community. Get involved; speak out on issues of spiritual and moral importance; pray for your municipal leaders and boldly share your faith. Give of your Cme and talents to make your community a beIer place to live.

Take Territory for Your Family: Like Joshua, you can stake your claim for your family. He said, “Choose this day whom you will serve…but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15). Establish a daily Cme of prayer with and for your family; teach them Biblical values; take them to church and create an atmosphere of peace and praise in your home. Provide a strong spiritual example for your spouse and children as you lead them to a solid relaConship with Jesus. Take Back Territory the Enemy has Stolen in Your Own Life: Fill your mind and feed your spirit with God’s Word. Do not allow the enemy to establish a stronghold. Forgive quickly; love lavishly and pray without ceasing. When you feel spiritually weak or struggle with physical problems, start declaring, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.” (Psalm 28:7). Take Him at His Word and expect miracles! A Significant Year: This year is parCcularly special for us. In addiCon to Canada’s 150th Anniversary, Gwen and I celebrate our 50th year of full Cme ministry, 45 of which have been spent in evangelism and healing ministry throughout Canada.

Steven Carleton and I have dedicated our lives to taking back Canadian territory for Jesus and seeing precious Inuit young people throughout Canada’s ArcCc delivered from the enemy’s clutches and set on a path of freedom and hope. We have commiIed to take the ArcCc Hope Project to several more northern communiCes this year, and have also developed “Anaana”, a program to minister to the hearts and needs of single young mothers in the ArcCc. It is also Israel’s 50th year of having Jerusalem as her capital, a fact of great spiritual and propheCc significance. I recently spent nearly two weeks in Israel, and as I ministered and traveled through the land, I declared the promise God gave to Joshua: “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you,” (Joshua 1:3). I speak blessing on

the land and the people of Israel and pray that their eyes will be opened to the Messiah. I’m asking you to consider giving a special Bi-‐ Centennial gic of $150.00 to honour these special milestones. As you give, make this declaraCon: “I am standing on guard for Canada and I’m taking back territory for God!” Just imagine all the lives across the naCon and youth throughout the Canadian ArcCc that we could reach if 1000 people would partner with this special $150.00 gic! We are counCng on your partnership and your prayers to fulfill everything God has commissioned us to do this year. Help us take back territory for Jesus in Canada in this Bi-‐Centennial year! Yours in Him,
