(Based on work of Dr. N. Cindy Trimm & modified by Rev. Don O'Malley)
Holy Spirit of our Father in heaven,
Spirit of Jesus Christ Who lives
in us,
help us to pray as we ought,
in spirit and in truth.
Set us free from all fears, anxieties
and doubts. Deliver us from stray thoughts
and distractions of the enemy.
Make the words of our mouths
and the meditations of our hearts,
holy and pleasing in Your sight, O Lord
God,
our Rock and our Redeemer.
Claiming the promises of God’s holy
Word,
we pray as children of God,
servants of Jesus
Christ, and temples of the Holy
Spirit.
We declare that, it is no longer we who
live,
but Christ Who lives in us,
and Christ Who lives in us,
is far greater than the prince of
this world;
therefore, we come in the Name
of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Who we belong to and Whom we
serve,
that at the Name of Jesus every knee
will bow,
in heaven and on earth and under
the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that in this battle
against the prince of this world,
no visible or invisible weapon, be it
emotional,
financial, social, physical,
sexual, mental,
personal, spiritual, or legal,
formed against us, our families, our
church,
or our community will prevail.
The battle is the Lord’s,
and He gives the enemy into our
hands.
He delivers us from conflicts without,
and from fears within,
and does not let the devil
get a foothold in our lives.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we lift up
and enforce God’s plans and
purposes,
over and against the plans and purposes
of Satan,
and against all those who do his
evil work. We declare that our battle
is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, authorities,
and powers of this dark world;
and against the spiritual forces of
evil
in the heavenly places.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we come against
all of Satan’s works, efforts,
tricks and attacks.
We declare that the weapons of our
battle
are not the weapons of this world,
but the weapons of God,
which have God’s power to
destroy the enemy.
We come in the Name of the Lord God
Almighty
to tear down anything that sets
itself up against God, and take hold of every thought
to make it obedient to Jesus
Christ.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we put upon
ourselves, our families, and our
church,
the armor of light and the full
armor of God:
Truth to cover our inner parts and our will;
The breastplate of righteousness to cover our heart,
and our emotions;
The gospel of peace to cover our feet and our path;
The shield of faith to cover our body, our soul and our spirit; to
put out all the flaming darts of the enemy;
The helmet of salvation to cover our head,
our mind and our thoughts;
The garment of judgment and the cloak
of zeal;
The Lord Jesus Christ;
The robe of righteousness;
And the Glory of God, which is our rear guard.
We take up the sword of the Spirit,
which is the Word of God,
and use God’s Word against all the
forces of evil
that come against us.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we bind, reject, overrule, and
cancel
every action of Satan and his
demons,
which works against the will of God
concerning our lives, our
families, our church,
our community, and our nation.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare
that God’s power destroys every
un-Godly habit,
addiction, desire, inclination,
relationship,
and association in our lives;
and that our bodies, souls, and spirits
now conform
to the ways, the manners, and the
methods
of the Kingdom of God.
We set up God’s boundaries and
borders in our lives,
our families, and our church,
and we commit to the laws of the
Kingdom of God
to govern all activities within
those borders.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare
that we are healed and
Spirit-filled;
sickness and disease are far from us,
because Jesus Christ has taken
upon Himself
our illnesses and injuries;
by His wounds we are healed.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we take
authority over the airways,
nations,
kingdoms, regions, mountains, and
domains.
We call upon Michael and all God’s
angels
to come against any of the devil’s
evil efforts
and resistance concerning
this order.
We claim the success of all efforts
and assistance of God’s angels.
According to the Word of God,
His angels beat down the enemy,
and protect us, our properties, our
possessions,
our families, and our church.
God Almighty, we pray that You
oppose those who come against us,
and fight against those who attack
us.
You are our war club; our weapon for
battle. Take hold of shield and sword,
and stand up for our help.
Draw out also the spear,
and stop those who try to hurt us.
Put on Your garments of war;
gather Your weapons and
ammunition;
make ready Your arrows.
Gather Your shields, and let judgment
be Your
final goal, as You overthrow
the chariots, horses, and riders.
Let terror strike the hearts of our
enemies,
and cause their hearts to fail.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we give glory to our heavenly
Father,
Who gives us power to run through
the enemy’s lines and leap over
walls.
You are our God: the God Who gives us
strength
and makes our way perfect.
It is You Who makes our feet secure,
giving us
strength so that we are able to
stand firmly, and advance on the dangerous heights
of testing and trouble.
You set us firmly upon our high places.
You teach our hands to war and fingers
to fight,
giving us super natural strength and
abilities,
so that our arms break a bow of
steel.
You are our Rock, our Shield,
and our Strong Tower.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
You have given us the shield of
Your salvation,
and Your right hand
makes us victors in this battle.
Beat down the enemy.
Help us to pursue and overtake them
until they are
wounded and destroyed, falling at
our feet,
never to rise again.
Lift up our names in the heavens.
Make evil spirits that hear us submit
and obey us,
in the Name of Jesus Christ.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare
that it is You Lord God Who have
blessed us;
it is You Who makes us strong.
It is not by our might nor by our
power, but
by the Spirit of the Lord God Who
lives in us.
For when the enemy shall come in like a
flood,
Your Holy Spirit lifts up a shield
against him.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we remove feelings of heaviness,
oppression,
depression, and despair.
We lift all our burdens and lay them
before the Lord God Almighty, Who
keeps us.
We shall not be moved.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we resist the devil and he must
flee from us.
We submit ourselves to God,
and to God alone.
We forbid, halt and prevent any further
work
or activities of Satan and his
demons,
concerning our lives, our ministries,
our families,
our church, and our community,
and we wage a war for them.
Standing firm in our faith, we put a
stop to any evil
interference or resistance against
us.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we resist
Satan’s temptations, tricks and
trials in our lives. We lift up God’s purpose and plan over and
against
all activities and opposing forces
of the enemy,
anything that is not in keeping
with the will of God in Christ
Jesus,
concerning our lives, our families,
our church, and our community.
We bind Satan’s attacks,
and destroy the works of his
followers.
We bring to a halt and stop all evil
activity in our life,
in our church, and in the people
around us.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we carry
out God’s judgment against Satan
and all his
demons, and we war in the spirit
of Elijah. We declare that, by the power of the Holy Spirit,
all strong-holds, covenants,
contracts,
chains, fetters, and bondages,
that work against, oppose, or hinder
the
fulfillment of God’s plans and
purposes
are hereby broken.
We are set free from any and all evil
spirits,
soul ties, and family curses,
passed down from our parents,
grandparents,
great grandparents, and previous
ancestors.
We cut them loose by the Sword of
the Lord God Almighty, by the
Blood
of the Lamb, and by the Holy
Spirit.
We speak to our body, soul and spirit,
and declare that we are free
from any and all evil influences,
passed down from one generation to
another,
or from one person to another,
bodily, sexually, socially,
emotionally, mentally,
spiritually, or by any other way
known to God.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we rebuke all evil and unclean
spirits,
especially those that try to act as
gate-keepers
or door-keepers to our soul and
spirit,
to our homes, or to our church,
and we break any further known or
unknown
ties and connections used by the
enemy.
We repent of our sins, receive Your
forgiveness,
and are cleansed by the Blood of
Jesus Christ;
we now close all spiritual doorways
opened to
the enemy by our sins or the sins
of others;
they are sealed shut forever by the
Holy Spirit. We open ourselves to God’s salvation,
and to a fresh filling of Your
Living Water.
Heavenly Father, have Your way with us
now. Perfect all things concerning us,
for the sake of Your Son Jesus
Christ,
and for the glory of Your holy
Name.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare
that God’s prayer shield,
anointing,
Truth, Word, and Blood,
form walls of protection around us, our
families,
our homes, our cars, and our
church,
and hide us from the attacks of the
enemy;
from familiar spirits, territorial
spirits,
blocking spirits, and any and all
demons.
There shall be no breaks or cracks
in these walls of protection.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we release our names into the
spirit world,
and declare that God’s prayer
warriors, intercessors,
and watchmen are picking us up in
the spirit.
We speak that they will not stop
or come down from their watch
towers
until their work has been
completed.
We declare that they will carry on
their work
under the direction of the Holy
Spirit and
Jesus Christ, Who is our Chief
Intercessor.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that
the Spirit of the Lord God is upon
us and within us; the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel,
power,
knowledge, and the fear of the
Lord God.
As we grow in faith we are strengthened
by God,
and increase in skill and
understanding
of the hope to which God has
called us.
We speak against, reject, and cancel,
all of Satan’s lying efforts
to set up a decoy or an ambush to
our souls,
and the souls of those who pray with us
and for us,
and those who interact with us
daily.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we destroy the wicked plans of the
devil,
and stop any evil interference with
Godly thoughts,
inspiration, revelation, insight,
wisdom, knowledge,
and understanding, coming from the
throne room
of our heavenly Father,
especially those that strengthen and
reinforce
our Kingdom authority in this
world,
and in the heavenly places,
and that work towards God’s saving
purpose
in this world.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we stop all
distracting, disturbing,
destructive,
and deceitful attacks of the
enemy.
For this reason the Son of God
came into this world,
that He would destroy the works of
the devil.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that
all the walls of the enemy are
destroyed, and that the
gates of hell will not stand up
against us.
We break up, cancel, and tear down,
all of Satan’s operations,
games, tricks,
tactics, plots, plans, and ploys,
which are designed to hinder, prevent,
frustrate, foil,
deny, or delay God’s plans and
purposes,
from their quick, swift, and speedy
completion,
in their correct time and season.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we stop
the adjusting or changing of any
Godly time
or laws, concerning our lives,
or the lives of our families.
We move in agreement with, along with,
and together with the movements
of the Holy Spirit of God.
We declare that if any laws and
contracts are
changed, they are changed in our
favor,
so that we may prosper in the place
that God
has put us, and the land in which
we live.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that our times and
seasons
are in the hands of the Lord God,
and they shall not be changed or
adjusted
by anyone or anything.
We live under the anointing of the Son
of God,
and God gives us His discernment
to correctly know our times and
seasons.
We declare that the eyes of our spirit
work with righteous vision,
for correct understanding and knowledge
of God’s movements.
Our ears are in tune with the voice
of the Holy Spirit,
and we have clear and continuous
messages and instructions from
Him.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that this day we live
by God’s timetable and calendar.
We declare that God’s plan is our
plan;
His will, our will.
We are not our own;
we have been bought with a price.
We therefore submit ourselves to God
alone.
We declare that, in Jesus Christ,
we boldly come before the Throne
of Grace;
in the Book of Life it is written of
us.
Heavenly Father, we pray that You
overturn the
work of troublemakers, scorners,
scoffers,
mockers, persecutors, and character
assassins, especially in our church,
whether intentional or
unintentional.
Expose Satan’s servants and children.
Give us Your discernment and power to
identify,
resist, rebuke, and overcome their
evil plots
and plans set up for our
destruction.
Gently open their eyes to the
destructiveness
of their ways, and lead them into
Godly
conviction, correction and
repentance.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we lift up the
Word of God over and against all
destructive plans,
purposes, and works of the enemy.
We take command over, bring to a halt,
and place a
stop on any further movements and
activities of the
enemy coming from the under world;
from death; from Hell; from the grave;
from the pit;
from regions of the sea; from
heavenly places;
and from places on earth or under
the earth.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and by the power of His Blood,
we cancel and repeal all the enemy’s
ill-spoken words,
evil wishes, incantations,
divinations, spells, hexes,
curses, witchcraft prayers, and
black magic,
and every idle word spoken contrary
to God’s plans and purposes.
We nullify and cancel the evil powers
of any physical
objects brought into our homes or
into our church.
We turn back any of the enemy’s
curses or evil words
spoken against us, our families,
and our church.
We declare that they shall not stand,
they shall not
come to pass, they shall not take
root, and that their
evil effects are returned to them
double-fold.
We stop Satan the accuser from turning
or influencing
the heart or mind of anyone who
comes into contact
with us, especially our closest
family, friends,
and church members.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we come against false spoken
words,
false claims, slander, and verbal
attacks,
and any evil attempts to destroy us,
our families,
our church, and our community.
Heavenly Father, cause the heavens to
bow down with
Your judgment; cast forth
lightning to scatter them; shoot out Your arrows to destroy them;
send Your hand from above and rid
us of them.
We will lose no position or ground to
their evil efforts,
activities and deceptions.
Heavenly Father, we pray that You would
destroy the
work of witches and warlocks who
oppose Your
plans and purposes, as You did
with Jannes and
Jambres in the days of Moses.
Confuse the evil omens of Satan
worshippers, liars,
astrologers, psychics, sorcerers,
and the like.
Make fools of false prophets,
and make their dark knowledge
foolishness.
We pray that You break up Satan’s
army of
followers and stop them by Your
Holy Spirit.
Make every undercover, hidden and
secret effort
and activity of the enemy fail.
Heavenly Father, we pray that You
confirm
the words of Your servants in our
midst,
and fulfill the predictions of Your
messengers
concerning the coming of Your
Kingdom.
Send Your holy angels and use the words
of
Your prophets against the enemy’s
camps, and arrest those that work in the spirit of Jezebel,
or Baal, or Asherah, or Marduk, or
Bel.
Let them not resist Godly anointing,
undermine
authority, or gain any ground in
the natural
world, or in the spiritual places.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we praise the Lord God, our
Savior,
Who daily bears our burdens.
We cast all our fears upon Him,
because He cares about us.
We are precious in His sight,
and He loves us more than we can
imagine.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that greatness
in the Kingdom of God is our
destiny.
We cancel the effects of any un-Godly
marks,
wounds or emotional scars,
and declare that God’s favor, grace,
honor, and
well-wishes, now replace any and
all bad
feelings, perceptions, and
thoughts,
about ourselves, our families, our
church,
our community, and the work which
we are called by God to complete.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare
that the Holy Spirit is upon us,
and within us,
because Jesus Christ has anointed us
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent us to bind up the
brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the
captives,
and release from darkness for the
prisoners;
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s
favor,
and the day of judgment of our God;
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who live in
Zion;
to bestow on them a crown of beauty,
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness, instead of
mourning,
and a garment of praise,
instead of a spirit of despair.
Heavenly Father, You have given us this
great work
to complete for Your glory and
goodness.
We claim the releasing of Your finances
and
all resources that are necessary
for this work. Everything You prepared for us before the creation of
the world, everything that has to
do with our lives,
our families, our ministries, our
calling,
and all godliness, comes to us
now.
We will not be denied. We will not
accept substitutes. We call in resources from the north,
the south, the east, and the
west.
We declare that every resource
necessary for us
to fulfill God’s plans and
purposes
comes to us without delay.
We declare that our set time of favor
will not be taken away by the
enemy;
that God blesses those who bless us,
and curses those who curse us.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that the wealth of the
wicked
is no longer laying up for us,
but is released now.
We declare the releasing of the wealth
of the seas,
the riches of the Gentiles, and
the gold and silver
from our prophetic Tarshish and
Queen of Sheba. Let those who hold on to this wealth
release what rightfully belongs to
this ministry.
We command Satan to loose it, release
it, and let it go.
Our God Who Provides, subdue nations
before us,
strip kings of their armor, open
doors so that gates
will not be shut, level the
mountains, break down
gates of bronze, and cut through
bars of iron.
Grant to us, O God, according to Your
riches in glory,
Your tender mercies and infinite
favor,
the treasures of darkness,
and the riches stored in secret
places.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that the anointing of
Christ
flows freely and fully in our
lives.
We declare that our God has brought us
into our
promised place, and we dwell in
the land of Goshen. We increase in abundance,
and prosper in the land where we
abide
and are sent as servants of Jesus
Christ;
to have life and have it abundantly.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that we are born again
by the Holy Spirit and fire;
that the Holy Spirit is our Helper,
our Guide, and our Counselor,
Who helps us to pray and worship,
and leads us into all Truth.
The Lord God Almighty, the highest
Power of
heaven and earth, our only Judge,
has decreed that peace is our overseer,
righteousness is our ruler, our
walls are
Salvation, and our gates Praise.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we cast out all evil spirits:
spirits of pride, spirits of fear,
spirits of
judgment, spirits of division,
spirits of lies,
and spirits of confusion,
be gone in the Name of Jesus Christ.
(Pause to name others.)
To those who have in mind the things of
men
and not the things of God we say,
“Get behind us, Satan!”
The Lord God blesses the work of our
hands.
By Him and through Him and for Him,
we accomplish great things.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we release upon our lives, our
ministries,
our families, and our church,
the following anointings for health and
prosperity, so that the Name of
God is
glorified in this world:
the anointing of Adam (Genesis 1:28,30;
2:15)
the anointing of Abraham (Genesis
12:1-3)
the anointing of Melchizedek (Gen 14:18)
the anointing of Isaac (Genesis
26:1-14)
the anointing of Jacob (Genesis 28:1;
31:4-9)
the anointing of Joseph (Psalm
105:15-21)
the anointing of Joshua (Joshua 1:1-9)
the anointing of Elijah (2 Kings
2:9-10)
the anointing of Jabez (1 Chronicles
4:10)
the anointing of Solomon (1Chron 29:19)
the anointing of Uzziah (2 Chronicles
26:3-15)
the anointing of the Messiah (Luke
4:18-19)
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare the disarming of powers
and authorities, which were made a public spectacle
by the triumph of Christ on the
cross.
We declare that these prayers take on
the power
and effect of God’s flaming
arrows,
and that they hit their target
according to God’s will, purpose
and plan.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that every unclean
spirit
set loose from their evil
assignment,
now becomes a part of Jesus’
footstool,
to surrender to Him or be trampled
under His feet.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we send these words forth
as heavenly angels in the places of
the spirit,
to tear down and destroy the enemy’s
camps;
to cause the four winds of the Holy
Spirit
to blow as destroying, conquering
winds.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare success and progress;
that we are more than conquerors
through Him Who loves us.
We declare that the Kingdom of Christ
rules and reigns;
for God’s is the Kingdom,
and the power and the glory,
forever and ever.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
we declare that the power, the
purpose,
and the effect of this prayer,
are binding by the Word of God,
by the Blood of the Lamb, and by
the Holy Spirit. To the glory of God our heavenly Father,
we seal this prayer,
in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
We also started 2013 with a listening
retreat. A more detailed account of this event is posted on our blog. It was clear that day that the
Lord was calling us to go "deeper" with him in the new
year, as well as to be "bolder". Deep and Bold are the
words the Spirit was speaking. We have had many reports among the
congregation of ways the Lord is driving this home. Our bookclub
small group ordered a book by Mark Batterson entitled "The
Circle Maker". After the books arrived they noticed a backcover
subtitle which read: "God Honors Bold Prayers and Bold Prayers
Honor God." We are praying God will help us heed His invitation
to go Deep and be Bold this year.
