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 of 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 in 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 in 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 in 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 longsuffering, 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 imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of 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 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 the satanic forces in my life. I pray in the Name of the
Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving. Amen.
