Heavenly Father, I bow in
worship and praise before you. I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus
Christ as my protection. I surrender myself completely and unreservedly in
every area of my life to You. I take a stand against all the workings of Satan
that would hinder me in my prayer life. I address myself only to the True and Living God and
refuse any involvement of Satan in my prayer.
Satan, I command
you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to leave my presence with all your
demons I bring the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ between us.
Heavenly Father, I worship You and give
You praise. I recognize that You are worthy to receive all glory and honor and
praise. I renew my allegiance to You and pray that the blessed Holy Spirit
would enable me in this time of prayer. I am thankful, Heavenly Father, that
You have loved me from past eternity and that You sent the Lord Jesus Christ into the world to die as my substitute. I am
thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ came as my representative and that through
Him You have completely forgiven me; You have adopted me into your family; You have assumed all responsibility for
me; You have given me eternal life; You have given me the perfect righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ so
I am now justified. I am thankful that in Him, you have made me complete, and
that You have offered Yourself to me to be my daily help and strength.
Heavenly Father, open my eyes
that I might see how great You are and how complete Your provision is for this day. I am thankful that the victory
the Lord Jesus Christ won for me on the Cross and in His resurrection has been
given to me and that I am seated with the Lord Jesus Christ in the heavenlies.
I take my place with Him in the heavenlies
and recognize by faith that all wicked spirits and Satan himself are under my
feet. I declare, therefore, that Satan and his wicked spirits are subject to me
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am thankful for the Armor You have
provided. I put on the Girdle of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the
Sandals of Peace and the Helmet of Salvation. I lift up the Shield of Faith
against all the fiery darts of the enemy;
and I take in my hand the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. I choose to use
Your Word against all the forces of evil in my life. I put on this Armor and
live and pray in complete dependence upon You, blessed Holy Spirit.
I am grateful,
Heavenly Father, that the Lord Jesus Christ spoiled all principalities and
powers and made a show of them openly and triumphed over them in Himself. I
claim all that victory for my life today. I reject all the insinuations, and accusations, and the
temptations of Satan. I affirm that the Word of God is true and I choose to
live today in the light of God's Word. I choose, Heavenly Father, to live in
obedience to You and in fellowship with Yourself.
Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life that do not please You. Work in
me to cleanse me from all ground that would give Satan a foothold against me. I
do in every way stand into all that it means to be Your adopted child and I
welcome all the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
By faith and in
dependence upon You, I put off the fleshly works of the old man and stand into
all the victory of the
crucifixion where the Lord Jesus Christ provided cleansing from the old nature.
I put on the new man and stand into all the
victory of the resurrection and the provision He has made for me to live above
sin.
Therefore, today I
put off all forms of selfishness and put on the new nature with its love. I put
off all forms of fear and put
on the new nature with its courage. I put off all forms of weakness and put on
the new nature with its strength. I put off all forms of lust and put on the
new nature with its righteousness, purity, and honesty. I am trusting You to show me how to make this practical in my
daily life…
In every way I stand
into the victory of the ascension and glorification of the Lord Jesus Christ,
whereby all the principalities and powers were made subject to Him. I claim my
place in Christ as victorious with Him over all the enemies of my soul. Blessed
Holy Spirit, I pray that You would fill me. Come into my life, break down every
idol and cast out every foe.
I am thankful, Heavenly Father, for the expression of
Your will for my daily life as You have shown me in Your Word.
I, therefore, claim all the will of God for today. I am thankful
that You have blessed me with all spiritual blessings
in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I am thankful that You have begotten me
unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. I
am thankful that You have made a provision so that today I can live filled with the Spirit of God with love and
joy and peace, with long-suffering, gentleness and goodness, with meekness, faithfulness and self-control in my
life. I recognize that this is Your will for me and I therefore reject
and resist all the endeavors of Satan and his wicked spirits to rob me of the
will of god. I refuse in this day to
believe my feelings and I hold up the Shield of Faith against all the
accusations and distortion and insinuations that Satan would put into my mind.
I claim the fullness of the will of God for my life today.
In the Name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, I completely surrender myself to You, Heavenly Father, as a
living sacrifice. I choose not to be conformed to this world. I choose to be
transformed by the renewing of my mind, and I pray that You would show me Your
will and enable me to walk in all the fullness of Your will today.
I am thankful,
Heavenly Father, that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty
through God to the pulling down of strongholds, to the casting down of
imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge God, and to bring every
thought into obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, in my own life today I tear down the strongholds of Satan
and smash the plans of Satan that have been formed against me. I tear
down the strongholds of Satan against my mind, and I surrender my mind to You,
blessed Holy Spirit. I affirm, Heavenly
Father, that You have not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, and of
love and of a sound mind. I break and smash the strongholds of Satan formed
against my emotions today and I give my emotions to you. I smash the
strongholds of Satan formed against my will today, I give my will to You and
choose to make the right decisions of faith. I smash the strongholds of Satan
formed against my body today, I give my body to You recognizing that I am your
temple. I rejoice in Your mercy and goodness.
Heavenly Father, I pray that now and through this day
You would strengthen and enlighten me. Show me the way Satan is hindering and
tempting and lying and distorting the truth in my life. Enable me to be the
kind of person that would please You. Enable me to be aggressive in prayer and
faith. Enable me to be aggressive mentally, to think about and practice Your
Word, and to give You Your rightful place in my life.
Again, I cover
myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that You, blessed Holy
Spirit, would bring all the work
of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the
glorification, and all the work of Pentecost
into my life today. I surrender myself to You. I refuse to be discouraged. You
are the God of all hope. You have
proven Your power by resurrecting Jesus Christ from the dead, and I claim in
every way this victory over all the Satanic forces in my life. I pray in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving.
Amen.
Bedtime prayer
Thank You, Lord, that You have brought me into Your family and have blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Thank You for this time of renewal and refreshment through sleep. I accept it as one of Your blessings for Your children, and I trust You to guard my mind and my body during my sleep.
As I have thought about You and Your truth during the day, I choose to let those good thoughts continue in my mind while I am asleep. I commit myself to You for Your protection against every attempt of Satan and his demons to attack me during sleep. Guard my mind from nightmares. I renounce all fear and cast every anxiety upon You, Lord. I commit myself to You as my rock, my fortress and my strong tower. May Your peace be upon this place of rest. In the strong name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
