Prayer is the foundation and cornerstone of every Christian believer. It is absolutely fundamental in establishing and nourishing a true relationship with God. Without prayer, Faith will not be possible. Prayer opens up the channels for communication between mortals and the Heavenly Host via the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit proves itself to be real through prayer as it strengthens faith and becomes the lighthouse by which Christians navigate their lives and chart their course. Below is a list of Prayers, Starting with the Lords Prayer. Also is a list of scripture references to help seekers identify specifically where to find the words in the Holy Bible that address a particular question, problem or issue. God bless you all for being here.
The Lords Prayer, a good place to start
OUR FATHER, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME. THY WILL BE DONE. IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD. AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THEM WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION; BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL; FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY, FOR EVER AND EVER.
AMEN
Warfare Prayer, Start of the day
HEAVENLY FATHER, I BOW IN WORSHIP AND PRAISE BEFORE YOU. BY FAITH, I COVER MYSELF WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND CLAIM THE PROTECTION OF THE BLOOD FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY, MY FINANCES, MY HOME, MY SPIRIT, MY BODY, AND SOUL. I TAKE A STAND AGAINST ALL THE WORKINGS OF THE DEVIL THAT WOULD TRY TO HINDER ME AND MY FAMILY FROM BEST SERVING YOU. I ADDRESS MYSELF ONLY TO THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, AND REFUSE ANY INVOLVEMENT OF SATAN IN MY PRAYERS.
SATAN, I COMMAND YOU AND ALL YOUR DEMON FORCES OF DARKNESS TO LEAVE MY PRESENCE IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I BRING THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND MY FAMILY, MY HOME, MY FINANCES, MY SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY. I DECLARE THEREFORE , THAT SATAN AND HIS WICKED SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT TO ME IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
FURTHERMORE, IN MY OWN LIFE TODAY, I DESTROY AND TEAR DOWN ALL THE STRONGHOLDS OF SATAN AND SMASH THE PLANS OF SATAN THAT HAVE BEEN FORMED AGAINST ME AND MY FAMILY. I TEAR DOWN THE STRONGHOLDS OF THE DEVIL 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 (2 TIMOTHY 1:7). THEREFORE, I RESIST THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, AND I REFUSE TO FEAR, REFUSE TO DOUBT, REFUSE TO WORRY,BECAUSE I HAVE AUTHORITY AND POWER OVER ALL THE POWERS OF THE ENEMY, AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT ME (LUKE 10:19). I CLAIM COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE VICTORY OVER THE FORCES OF DARKNESS IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND I BIND THE DEVIL AND COMMAND HIM TO LOOSE PEACE, JOY AND PROSPERITY, IN EVERY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. AND BY FAITH, I CALL IT DONE.
Emotional Strongholds
I BREAK AND SMASH THE STRONGHOLDS OF SATAN FORMED AGAINST MY EMOTIONS TODAY AND GIVE MY EMOTIONS TO YOU LORD JESUS. I DESTROY THE STRONGHOLDS OF SATAN FORMED AGAINST MY WILL TODAY, I GIVE MY WILL TO YOU LORD AND CHOOSE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS OF FAITH. I BREAKDOWN THE STRONGHOLDS OF SATAN AND GIVE MY BODY TO YOU LORD JESUS. REALIZING THAT I AM THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. (CORINTHIANS 3:16-17 & 6:19-20).
AGAIN, I COVER MYSELF WITH THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS, AND PRAY THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD BRING ALL THE WORKS OF THE CRUCIFIXION, ALL THE WORKS OF THE RESURRECTION & ASCENSION OF THE LORD JESUS INTO MY LIFE TODAY. I SURRENDER MY LIFE AND POSSESSIONS TO YOU. I REFUSE TO FEAR, REFUSE TO WORRY, OR BE DISCOURAGED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. I WILL NOT HATE, ENVY, OR SHOW ANY ANIMOSITY OR BITTERNESS TOWARDS MY BROTHERS, SISTERS, OR MY ENEMIES, BUT WILL LOVE THEM ALL WITH THE LOVE OF GOD SHED ABROAD IN MY HEART BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (ROMANS 5:5).
OPEN MY EYES AND SHOW ME THE AREAS OF MY LIFE THAT DO NOT PLEASE YOU AND GIVE ME THE STRENGTH, THE GRACE AND THE WISDOM TO REMOVE ANY SIN OR WEIGHT THAT WOULD PREVENT OUR CLOSE FELLOWSHIP. WORK IN ME TO CLEANSE ME FROM ALL GROUND THAT WOULD GIVE THE DEVIL A FOOTHOLD AGAINST ME. I CLAIM IN EVERY WAY, THE VICTORY OF THE CROSS OVER ALL SATANIC FORCES FORMED AGAINST MY LIFE. I PRAY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND I WELCOME ALL THE MINISTRIES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AMEN
