Come Out! Freedom Call to Victims in Bondage to the satanic spirit of Domestic abuse
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
So often sisters in the Body of Christ become ensnared and unequally yoked in bondages that nearly take their lives, simply because they do not know nor understand that God has provided a provision of escape from the yoke of bondage to an individual that has chosen to be in allegiance with the forces of darkness and be used by satan to destroy a child of God through abuse.
One of the most common bondages in marriage and relationships is the yoke of domestic abuse and violence. Domestic abuse is a real demonic and satanic yoke and it is designed and intended to destroy its victim and others indirectly, such as the children in such families. The evil behind domestic abuse is a force that strategically plots to destroy a generation of people and beyond. It is a force that has destroyed far too many women (and men) of God. It is a force that trains young boys and girls to abuse or be abused and it is a force that must be reckoned with by the Body of Christ TODAY!
For centuries, too often women have been instructed and expected to reside in bondage to the yoke of domestic abuse in spite of the horrific consequences caused by the abuse to her spirit, mind, body and soul. They have been taught to continue to subject their children to the volatile lifestyle of domestic abuse in spite of the consequences and detriment to the spirits, minds, bodies and souls of even their children.
Far too often, mother’s that were once abused in front of their children must face the painful reality of discovering the abusive monster created in her own son or her own daughter in whom she knows all to well how such a monster was created.
Many women reside or return to abuse for many different reasons: for fear of retaliation, for a false hope that she can change her abuser, for fear of a failed marriage, for the assumption that God wants her to stay with her abusive husband in spite of the danger, for fear of the emotional impact on her children or her children growing up without a father, for fear of the public shame, for fear of judgment and due to what she finds to be the unexplainable ties that keep her yo-yoing back and forth from one abusive act to temporary freedom, yet the list goes on and on.
The decision to break free from the bondage to an abusive spouse is even more complicated as a Christian believer who juggles in her mind the most well-known scriptures of the bible regarding marriage; what she’s been taught to be biblically correct for her to do; and conflicting advice from those within the Christian community.
Nevertheless, we in the Body of Christ must educate ourselves on the issue, impact and dangers of domestic abuse and correct some of our own misconceptions that are literally misguiding women back into abusive situations; influencing them to reside in abuse; and sending them to early graves.
What is domestic violence/abuse? Domestic abuse is not just limited to physical abuse characterized by beatings or hitting. Domestic violence or domestic abuse is a pattern of abusive behaviors used by one person in a relationship in order to gain power and control over his or her intimate partner. Domestic abuse includes, but is not limited to the following:
Isolation tactics (example: undermining relationships, withholding access to phone or transportation, separating victim from family relationship, contact and ties).
Instilling fear (threatening physical harm, threatening to kidnap or harm children and/ or household pets).
Verbal and psychological abuse (name calling, belittling, silent treatment, oppression tactics related to race, socioeconomic status, age disabilities, sexual orientation).
Economic control and abuse (attempting to make partner financially dependent or an economic slave, withholding money, harassing partner at work, forcing victim to relinquish money, squandering money while victim must work to the bone to financially support victim and family).
Inflicting injury (any physical assault, restricting access to medical care and to personal care, withholding or stealing medications, passive aggressive/non aggressive acts that inflict or cause injury or physical harm, such as perpetrator who watched his wife have a seizure and drove to a friends house during the seizure to play cards without seeking any medical attention and medical intervention).
Sexual abuse (coercing sexual contact, treating in sexual derogatory manner, accusations of infidelity, coercing sex after abuse, using sex as a form of an apology after abuse).
Using children (Using the children as weapons or objects of abuse. Making her feel guilty about the children. Using the children to relay messages. Using visitation to harass her. Manipulating the children to abuse her. Threatening to take the children away or harm the children.)
Male privilege: (Forcing partner through various forms of abuse and male power to become a servant/slave. Forbidding partner to make any decisions. Defining the roles in the relationship. Treating the partner as inferior, stupid and incapable of making sound decisions. Convincing partner of male gender superiority and female gender inferiority.)
Female privilege: (Forcing partner typically through, but not limited to psychological, emotional and verbal abuse and manipulation to become a servant/slave. Forbidding partner to make any decisions. Defining the roles in the relationship. Treating the partner as inferior, stupid and incapable of making sound decisions. Convincing partner of female gender superiority and male gender inferiority.)
Domestic abuse takes on many forms and can appear in the most classical form, but as well can be twisted and distorted hidden behind the mask of a master manipulator and the craftiest of con-artists, making it very hard to detect. Some abusers are master manipulators with an eloquent gift of gab and can hide behind the most honorable of masks, disguises and facades. The lesson to learn with this point is that one can not and should not ever judge a book by its cover, looks, job title or role/status in the church or community when judging whether someone has or has not abused. Abusers can be found from all walks of life and from every background, every race and every economic status.
We must also understand and know that domestic abuse and violence is never condoned by God. A man that abuses his wife is not justified by his actions from the Lord under any circumstance and of course, the same applies to an abusive wife. God does not happily sit by and watch a man beat on his wife or attempt to destroy her in various ways and desire for her to stay until she is physically destroyed.
The Word of God speaks of many consequences to such sin and iniquity, but just as importantly, the Word of God provides a victim who is in bondage to anyone that has chosen to abide in such iniquity the permission to escape those treacherous circumstances free of condemnation.
According to 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 The Lord tells us to…14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Belial represents satan. So here the Word of God is presenting what types of yokes He wants his children to be freed from: yokes to unbelievers; yokes to the unrighteous; yokes to those and that which is of the kingdom of darkness; yokes to satan or satanic and demonic spirits and forces (which typically manifest themselves through willing vessels); yokes to infidels; yokes to idols and the spirit of idolatry. All such yokes are produced by satan for the sole purpose of destroying the children of God and the plan of God in their lives.
A satanic yoke is a restrictive burden, weight and affliction produced by satan and manipulated by satan that is felt by the victim and purposed to be spiritually, emotionally, mentally or physically oppressive, binding, restrictive and destructive and it is a bond that keeps one tied to and controlled by the oppressor or vessel used to bring about or perpetuate such destructive bondage upon its victim.
As a child of God, we are instructed to sever bondages to those that submit themselves to the power, control and governing of satan and satanic forces. Every child of God is subject to a higher authority. Never will God permit or allow a child of God to submit to demonic or satanic authority; not in a church and not in a marriage…NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE OR PLACE!
…or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
The word “infidel” is a person that can be viewed to be worse than the unbeliever, because an infidel may be characterized as one that believes in God, but rejects God and rejects righteousness, in spite of his belief and awareness of God and awareness of what is right from wrong. An “infidel” is simply unfaithful to God and is a covenant breaker. Although an “infidel” can be a nonbeliever who simply has not come into the knowledge of Christ, they can also be the Christian brother (or sister) that sits beside you on the church choir or stands before you behind the pulpit and believes in Christ, yet lives no different from the pimp on the corner, but has willfully chosen to rebel against the authority of Jesus Christ, therefore placing him or herself in allegiance with Lucifer, who too is a rebel and infidel and chooses to reject Christ and follow righteousness. Such a spirit and character is of the purest form of wickedness.
“Infidel” is the Latin word for unfaithful and is still the word used in Spanish for “unfaithful”. He or she can be the person that professes God only with his mouth, but is unfaithful to serve God through his works, actions and deeds that demonstrate his faithfulness and loyalty to God. He has a dead faith. (Reference James 2) An infidel is the corrupt believer that knows God, believes in God, but just as the demons that know and believe in Christ, he or she has not chosen to really serve Christ and follow after righteousness and submit to the Word of God through their actions, decisions, choices and lifestyle. He or she is a rebel. An infidel rebels against love through acts of hate toward holiness, righteousness and God’s people. A faithful servant and child of God are not required to be in bondage to such a person, even if that person is a spouse. Is God’s law of liberty only for the non-married? No! God’s Word is for all of his children. This liberty is for us all!
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
The Lord instructs his people to get free from bondage; to break free from ungodly yokes and bondages to ungodly people, things and forces. It doesn’t matter what kind of suit such an individual is wearing. It doesn’t matter what kind of car such an individual is driving. It doesn’t matter how eloquent such and individual is in speech. It doesn’t matter how many church offices he or she may hold. If one walks after unrighteousness and is unfaithful to the Lordship of our God and his statutes, we must break such bonds. God instructs his people to come out from among them. According to this Word, God gives you and every true child of God the permission to come out of bondage!
Woman of God, if you are in bondage to the satanic spirit of domestic abuse, God gives your permission to come out right now. Man of God, if you are in bondage to the satanic spirit of domestic abuse, God gives you the permission to come out right now and God will be a Father unto you according to His Word.
18And (HE) will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
So, I write these words to the Body of Christ in hope that some one will hear this truth that is established in God’s Word to free us from bondage and that like I, will take hold of God’s law of liberty and find the freedom therein that God intended for all of God’s children to possess right now and right here on earth.
If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, please share this message with them, but more importantly please seek the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit for a specific plan for you or them to follow in addressing your specific situation. As well, please allow the Holy Spirit to direct you in seeking the help and aid from the resources in your community that can assist you in breaking the cycle of abuse in your life for good…and remember that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is a God of Love who literally died on the cross to free you, save you and reconcile you back to the Father. Would he pay such a price for you to continue to reside in bondage? As a child of God, you have the right to be free.

The Power of Forgiveness
The Power of Forgiveness
Often times one does not realize the power that lies in forgiveness. Forgiveness is such a powerful act of love and in fact true forgiveness is rooted in what God calls perfect love. True forgiveness is an act that must take place in the depth of your heart and is demonstrated by your actions. It is imperative that your seed of forgiveness bear the fruit of forgiveness, otherwise it is not true forgiveness.
When the seeds of unforgiveness remain, the fruits of unforgiveness grow and come forth often times without your conscious permission. So, every Christian must eradicate the seeds of unforgiveness from the depth of their heart and soul and pray that God help them to plant in their own hearts the seeds of true forgiveness that produce fruit of its kind.
As Christ was nailed to the cross; having been tortured and bruised, his love for mankind and commitment and love for the Father led him to complete the greatest act of perfect love, which was to die for the sins of the world; the sins of the very men and women that crucified him and nailed him to the cross so that the penalty of our sin would be paid and that mankind might be reconciled back to God and be forgiven.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. These were the very words Jesus spoke on the cross. God forgave mankind, even after man committed such a horrific crime against his innocent Son and God pardoned us from a penalty that mankind by no means could pay nor had the power or means for which to provide an atonement. This very act of perfect love is what Christ wants us to demonstrate toward each other. How dare we not forgive others that have trespassed against us when God went as far as giving his only begotten son to die for our sins and trespasses so that we could be forgiven, pardoned, reconciled and receive everlasting life.
Forgiveness truly is a gift for you…yes, the one who was wounded or hurt by another. Unforgiveness brings bondage, while forgiveness brings freedom, healing, restoration and peace. Many of the great torments found among God’s people whether it is spiritual torment, mental torment, emotional torment, physical torment and more are results of the consequences of unforgiveness. Where there is unforgiveness, there is no peace.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. According the Word of God, perfect love casteth out fear. For one individual it may be the fear to trust and love again. For another, it may be the fear of satan… but the good news is that perfect love casteth out the spirit of fear, which attacks us through the fears that best bind us and hinder the specific plan of God in our lives. So, if you have an anointing to acquire wealth, you will likely be struck with the fear to give. If you have an anointing to minister to the sick, you will likely be struck with the fear of sickness. When love is perfected, the goal of your daily walk becomes doing what ultimately pleases God even if it doesn’t feel good and even if it is uncomfortable…you will become one that is able to look beyond yourself and your own specific needs or emotions to love what God loves and do what is ultimately pleasing to him.
The price of unforgiveness is a price no man can afford to pay and should not want to pay. Unforgiveness halts the flow of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. It is like a cancer that eats away at the flesh of your heart and soul from the inside and its companion is “hatred”. As well, unforgiveness is the devourer of many of your blessings. Your forgiveness of others is imperative to maintaining a fruitful intimate relationship with God and is necessary to receive forgiveness from God. Matthew 6:14-15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
No peace is also the price of unforgiveness. You can not and will not live in peace until you forgive. One’s own unforgiveness is the gatekeeper to their own bondage of torment. Matthew: 18:34-35 And his Lord was wroth and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that was due. So shall my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. The Lord delivers us to tormentors, which by his permission are able to torment us until we forgive. So for many, if you would truly forgive and walk in perfect love, your inner peace would be restored. The torment would stop and restoration would come again…..all this comes by the power of forgiveness.
My prayer for every one in the Body of Christ is that you forgive everyone that has ever hurt you in any kind of way from the bottom of your heart to the depth of your soul and that the seeds of forgiveness bear fruit after its kind… fruit that can say, I love you again;.....fruit that will stop the anger from arising;…..fruit that will change your tone toward those that have hurt you;…..fruit that will allow you to perform an act of kindness with no expectation of a return;...fruit that will keep you from judging;.....fruit that will keep you from condemning;.....fruit that will humble you enough to recognize that you can and should apologize too;…..fruit that will make you let it all go;..... fruit that will allow you to talk well of those that have hurt you;.....fruit that will make you bless those that have cursed you;…..fruit that will make you do good to them that hate you;…..fruit that will make you pray for those that have despitefully used you;…..fruit that will make you live, talk, move and walk more like Christ in the spirit of perfect love and true forgiveness.
And last of all, forgiveness is a choice that we must make on a daily basis. It is not a one time act, but it is a daily act that requires a conscious decision to give our hurts and wrongs done to us over to God every day and not go back and pick them back up.

Running the race
1 Corinthians 9:24-25
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
Hebrew 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrew12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Race
The Word of God often describes the journey through this life as a race, however a race that requires endurance and being steadfast to the very end. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).
.
One of the deceptive tricks of the enemy is to have us believe that once we’ve made a mistake, we can no longer get back in the race and keep going. I’ve seen too many sisters and brothers in Christ mess up and then give up, but I’ve got good news for anybody that has ever felt like they needed to give up trying to live right and give up trying to live for Jesus, just because you’ve stumbled for a moment. We all have setbacks. We all make mistakes. I’ve made many, but… I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).
God knows that none of us are perfect and that we will all stumble and so he has already made a provision for us through his grace. Yes, we all have fallen short of his glory, but his Word tells us to keep going; endure; be steadfast and press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14)… holding forth the word of life; so that (you) may rejoice in the day of Christ, whereby (you can know) that you have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain (Philippians 2:16).
If you’ve realized that you’ve made a mistake, just repent and then lay that weight aside, so that you can keep on moving. If you’ve had a setback, just sit back up and get back up and keep on moving. Don’t just fall down and stay down. Don’t just mess up and keep messing up. Don’t just sin and keep sinning. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1)
…so throw that weight down and keep on keeping on in Christ and in righteousness until the end so that when God calls you home, you too can say….I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (2 Timothy 4:7) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (2 Timothy 4:8).
So, I encourage you all to run this race with endurance and a relentless determination. I don’t care what happens to you….DON’T YOU GIVE UP! I don’t care how many times you fall….GET BACK UP AND KEEP GOING! Because it is not about how many times you fall or how many times you’re hurt or how many setbacks you have, but rather how many times you get back up and keep going. So, be encouraged and run your race as one running to receive the everlasting prize through Christ Jesus.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

Getting a makeover
Getting a makeover
Romans 8:29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…
Growing up in a culture that celebrates and values outward beauty or perfection instead of inward beauty pressures many of us to focus on attaining unrealistic and unhealthy physical goals for beauty that most of us may never achieve. For many there is the pressure and teaching to ignore the decay and neglect that may be going on inside, due to a never ending pursuit to adhere to an ever changing opinion of what our outer image should be. Yet, it is all too common for our society to influence us to completely forget that the vessel that we see in the mirror contains the most precious part of our being inside; our soul.
Many women as well as men may find it disheartening or down right depressing to see a wrinkle around the eye, strands of grey hair and extra pounds reflected through the scale. While many Americans and those around the world stress and strain to attain a physical image of beauty, there is often the failure to diligently seek to attain beauty for the soul that lives within; the part of us all that never dies.
We see fashion statement after fashion statement; new hair-do’s, make-up galore. We ooh and aaah over make-overs demonstrated on popular shows and television programs that plant the seed that we must engage in a never-ending search to be recreated by man’s standards, made-up by man’s standards and made-over by man’s standards on the outside to be accepted or arrive at the peak of society’s beauty standard, yet in all this, so much of the world fails to seek the make-over of the best kind, which is the divine make-over that only Christ can do on the inside of us.
This make-over that I speak of is where true beauty begins for us all. True beauty is developed when the Father begins a work of art within your heart, mind and soul, ultimately transforming you to the image of his son; the image of Christ. Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…True beauty is developed when the Lord does a makeover.
We have all seen some of the most physically attractive people reflect that which was appalling, making them quite unattractive, yet we have also seen those that have not been considered the most attractive by the world’s standard, radiate a beauty from within that was truly magnetic; a beauty that only God could create while they sat in the chair of the greatest artist ever, to lend their soul as a spiritual canvas to undergo a divine make-over; a make-over from the Lord and yes, they were beautiful people in spite of what the world said.
To all, seek the make-over of the best kind and know that your transformation to beauty will begin right there in the chair of the artist that formed the earth, the oceans, the rainbow and the masterpiece of our universe that we get a glimpse of every day. For to attain outward perfection, while destructing inside, is in vain. Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
So for all the women and men that have noticed the extra pounds or the imperfections on the outside, don’t be consumed by it; it’s okay. By whose standard will you live? Smile about it. Of course, take care of yourself, but don’t forget to allow your heart, mind and soul to become the canvas of the Lord, being painted, molded, crafted and transformed to a work of art; a masterpiece on a daily basis; the image of Christ, which is the only type of beauty that truly matters and will last. True beauty comes from God and God’s beauty never fades even when this outward beauty does.
Today, I’m sitting in that chair and I yield to the brush strokes of the Lord and yes, I want to be beautiful……but by the standards of my Lord. Will you join me? Come on and sit down and let HIM work.
Romans 8:29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…
Growing up in a culture that celebrates and values outward beauty or perfection instead of inward beauty pressures many of us to focus on attaining unrealistic and unhealthy physical goals for beauty that most of us may never achieve. For many there is the pressure and teaching to ignore the decay and neglect that may be going on inside, due to a never ending pursuit to adhere to an ever changing opinion of what our outer image should be. Yet, it is all too common for our society to influence us to completely forget that the vessel that we see in the mirror contains the most precious part of our being inside; our soul.
Many women as well as men may find it disheartening or down right depressing to see a wrinkle around the eye, strands of grey hair and extra pounds reflected through the scale. While many Americans and those around the world stress and strain to attain a physical image of beauty, there is often the failure to diligently seek to attain beauty for the soul that lives within; the part of us all that never dies.
We see fashion statement after fashion statement; new hair-do’s, make-up galore. We ooh and aaah over make-overs demonstrated on popular shows and television programs that plant the seed that we must engage in a never-ending search to be recreated by man’s standards, made-up by man’s standards and made-over by man’s standards on the outside to be accepted or arrive at the peak of society’s beauty standard, yet in all this, so much of the world fails to seek the make-over of the best kind, which is the divine make-over that only Christ can do on the inside of us.
This make-over that I speak of is where true beauty begins for us all. True beauty is developed when the Father begins a work of art within your heart, mind and soul, ultimately transforming you to the image of his son; the image of Christ. Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…True beauty is developed when the Lord does a makeover.

The Inspiration: United Saints in Prayer Movement
In this season, as the Lord ministers to the church body, He wants us to be reminded of the power, ability, importance, functions and role of the Body of Christ through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are to be reminded to not limit ourselves, our fellowship, our prayers, our love, kindness, encouragement, affection and heart to just those that are fellow members of our specific church congregation or denomination; yet let us remember, acknowledge and understand that the full Body of Christ; the Church Body spans around the entire globe and it is not contained within the four walls of any man-made church building sitting on any plot of land. It is not a structure that can be seen with our natural eyes. It is the people of God that form the invisible tabernacle of God, as the Body of Christ, who submit to the Lordship, Headship and Leadership of Jesus Christ; accepting, receiving, honoring and submitting to Him as our One Lord and Savior; the Head of the Church Body (Ephesians 5:23) and the only way and means of reconciliation of mankind to God; to Himself. (2 Corinthians 18). For we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones (Ephesians 5:30)
For we are to be encouraged to unite as one church body in prayer and supplication, knowing that we the Body of Christ united under the Headship and Authority of Christ, and power given us through his name wield a power to be reckoned with against the enemy. When the Church Body begins to operate as one vessel yielded to Christ our Head, we become lethal to the enemy by our unity. When the Church Body neglects to operate as on vessel yielded to Christ, we become passive to the enemy and lay down one of our greatest weapons against the enemies of darkness; our unity in Christ. Thus the inspiration was birthed to call for the unification of the Church Body from every part of the globe. Let us unify in prayer, refusing to allow the enemies of darkness to take over our nations, our offices of leadership, our leaders, our churches, our people, our children, our schools, our economy and this world. Therefore, I present to you the call for action through the United Saints in Prayer Movement in the name of Jesus Christ. To God Be the Glory.

Prayer of Repentance
Prayer of repentance, recommitment and growth in Jesus Christ
Dear Heavenly and Holy Father in heaven,
I know that I am a sinner and that according to your Word; all have sinned and come short of Your Glory. Father, I repent of all my sins and ask that you forgive me for every sin that I have committed, even those of which I am unaware as I now forgive all those that have hurt, trespassed or sinned against me. Lord, I no longer want to live a life that is unpleasing to YOU and from this day I desire to live my life in a manner that is righteous and pleasing to your sight as your servant and bears good and righteous fruit. Father, I believe that you sent your son, Jesus Christ to die for my sins, who was YOU robed and manifested in the flesh and that you raised Him from the dead. Right now I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life so that you may enter and rule as Lord over my life through Jesus Christ. Jesus, I believe in you and receive and confess you as my personal Lord and Savior and commit and dedicate (or recommit and rededicate) myself, my life and will to thee, whereby I pray that your Will shall be done in my life forever. Father, I pray that you help me to be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer, whereby my works and actions will demonstrate my complete faith, commitment and trust in YOU. Lord, thank you for extending your love and grace toward me in that while I was yet a sinner, YOU died for me. Father, I pray that you develop me, baptize me in your Holy Spirit and mold me to be the individual that you would have me to be, whereby, when you call my soul home, I am ready to stand before you and shall hear you say that you are pleased with me, whom you will acknowledge as your good and faithful servant. I exalt the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and it is in the name of my precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Monday: Pray for our leaders and nations
Monday: Pray for our leaders and nation
2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Dear Heavenly and Most Precious Father in Heaven,
Holy is Your Name. I humbly come before your throne of grace and mercy, joining my voice as one with the Body of Christ in corporate prayer, asking that you guide the leaders of this nation and land and all those that stand in leadership positions and capacities, from the President of this country to teachers in the schools to the single mothers that must lead and guide her children and so on to include every single leadership position regardless of how big or small. Father, I pray that You guide every leader that has been positioned in a natural or spiritual office to provide righteous leadership, guidance, steering, parenting and shepherding over those within this nation and all other nations, while first submitting to the headship and Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Father, I pray that Your Holy Spirit will convict them to make righteous decisions and give righteous instructions that agree and are in line with You and Your Word of Truth and furthermore, uplift Your Word and the Name of Jesus Christ. Father, lead them not, as well as those that they shepherd into temptation, but deliver them and the flock of this nation and all others from all evil, sinfulness and unrighteousness. Father, we ask that you wash us clean; purify us and cover us in your blood. Lord, we ask that you reserve all existing and newly created offices of leadership that impact your children and flock the most for only your select chosen anointed righteous vessels that will hearken to your righteous voice and lead your people in the spirit of righteousness according to your perfect will.
Father, we pray that you remove and bring down all satanic leaders that secretly or outwardly work to lead your creation, mankind to spiritual and physical death and destruction and wait to devour your people and babes before they are born. Father, we pray for every spiritual leader in the place of Christian ministry; asking that you increase their faith, increase their anointing, and that you help them to walk righteous before you and to submit to your will and way; being a Christ-like example at all times. Father, we ask that you dwell richly within them and that you increase the anointing for kingdom work. Father, we humble ourselves and cry out to you that we want to turn from our ways that are unrighteous, unholy, unclean, ungodly and wicked. Dear Lord, we ask that you hear our cry and heal our land and the people of this land, according to your promise as we humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways and pray to you. We pray this prayer in the name of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Tuesday: Pray for fathers, mothers and families
Tuesday: Pray for fathers, mothers and families
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Dear Heavenly and Holy Father,
Holy is Your Name. Righteous is Your Name. Lord, we exalt thee. Father, we come before your throne of grace and mercy with a repented heart, asking in the Name of Jesus, that you touch every father, mother and each family in this land. Father, you know of the wicked devices and forces that have been luring fathers and husbands away from their wives, homes, families and children into the streets and pathways of iniquity and destruction, whereby they have been and are being removed by the thousands from their leadership offices in the home and from providing righteous leadership and fatherly guidance to their own house and seed. Father, you know of the wicked devices and forces that are binding many mothers; keeping them from walking in that place of true deliverance, freedom and liberty, whereby they are not able to adequately pour into the lives of their own children and families, but today we join together in corporate prayer as one Body in Christ and ask that these devices and forces be bound and brought down by your Spirit and Power. Father, we pray in desperation that you cause the attack on the family to cease today in this nation and in all other nations. Father, we pray in desperation that you bring restoration to the families of this land.
In the name of Jesus, we take authority in the earthly realm and heavenly realm and over satan and all satanic forces and we cast down the devices and forces that have tried to devour and destroy our people, fathers, mothers, children and families. Father, we decree that Your power and anointing will destroy the strongholds, bondages, chains, weights and yokes of the enemy upon all Christian families and families of all nations and that your spirit will draw those families that do not know You to repentance and acceptance and to followers of your son, Jesus Christ.
Father, we ask that you search the core of the souls; the spiritual wells of the people and pull out the generational debris that satan has tried to pour into individual lives and families that have kept fathers in a place of bondage; that have kept mothers in a place of bondage; that have kept families in a place of bondage; and that are now entangling and ensnaring the children of this land into a place of bondage. Father, we pray for deliverance and restoration to sweep the nation and the families of this nation and all others. Heavenly Father, we ask that you open the flood gates of heaven and let Your Spirit rain on the people, whereby your Spirit will do what seems to be the impossible; and whereby we will witness your Spirit deliver in miraculous ways, whereby mothers, fathers and children will be brought out of crack and drug houses, while freeing them from their drug addictions, out of the streets, unrighteous lifestyles and out of gangs, out of all forms of abuse, out of religious/demonic cults and be delivered from the bondage and chains of generational curses, oppressions, bondages and strongholds. Father, we pray that you deliver the families of this nation and others from the demonic spirit of Pharaoh; the spirit of bondage and that you set your people free.
Father, we ask that you sever all demonic soul ties that are keeping generations and families young and old crippled and enslaved to demonic, hindering, controlling and ungodly spirits and forces that are destroying the Christian family and families of all nations. Wherefore, in the name of Jesus Christ, we as one Body in Christ command all ungodly soul ties to be broken, crushed and severed right now. Father, we ask that you send missing or absent fathers, mothers and children home, transformed and washed by the blood of the Lamb; the blood of Jesus Christ to provide Christian and righteous love, leadership and guidance to their families and to henceforth walk righteous. Father, we ask that you send missing family members home; such as cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings and so on, newly transformed and washed by the blood of Christ to provide Christian leadership, love, righteous nurturing and guidance to their children, brothers and sisters and immediate to extended families.
Dear Lord, you see and know the complexities of the deep wounds within your people that have created gateways and open doors to the souls of your people that have tied them to spiritual oppressions and have linked the chains of bondage, which have all aided in the destruction and tearing down of families in every nation; furthermore the Christian family, but Father, we pray for restoration in every home, among all ethnic groups and socio-economic levels. Lord, let your name be exalted among the nation and among us all. Father, we pray for an awakening to take place in families of all nations and Christian family, whereby parents will return to Christian values and standards by which to govern their children. Father, we pray that family healing will sweep across the nation from shore to shore and state to state; from one end of the globe to the other end. Father, let the enemy steal no more.
Jesus, we love you and we know that you died on the cross to save us and so that mankind might be made free. Father, as one Body in Christ, we pray and ask for the freedom and liberty for the Christian family and families of all nations from satanic oppression, bondages and control. Father, as one Body in Christ, we pray and ask for family healing and restoration. Father, as one Body in Christ, we pray for the deliverance, freedom and complete restoration for the families of every nation, starting with our very own house, whereby each Christian family and their home can be an example of Christian unity, Christian values demonstrated and Christian love exemplified, whereby today we decree unto the heavens, binding our voices and cry as one, decreeing that as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. Heavenly and Most Gracious Father, please hear this humble cry and prayer, that your people corporately pray as one with other believers in the Body of Christ in the Precious Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Wednesday: Pray for the youth
Wednesday: Pray for the youth
Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Dear Heavenly and most Precious Father,
Father, we come before your throne of grace and mercy with repented hearts for where we have fallen short of your glory and where we have not trained up our children in the ways that they should go. Father, we ask in the name of Jesus for forgiveness of the sins that we have committed before our children and for where our ways, lack of guidance or unrighteous guidance and poor examples have steered our children toward sin and ungodly lifestyles. Father, we repent of our tolerance of sin and sinful things concerning our children. Father, we repent for allowing the exposure or exposing our children to unrighteous acts, words, images, movies, books and music and even people. Father, we repent for turning blind eyes and deaf ears to the ensnaring wiles of satan that have pursued our children and laid wait for them to cause their spiritual and physical demise.
Today, Heavenly Father, we dedicate our children back to you and we pray that you will save them from a life of sin and spiritual destruction. Father, today as one Body in Christ and one human race, we release our children into your hands. Father, we entrust them to you right now. Lord, we confess that we have made many mistakes as parents, as a people and as the Body of Christ concerning our children, but today, Father, we pray for change and we pray that the change start with us as parents. Father, transform our thinking and ways to become better parents to our children and more righteous parents.
Father, we pray in the name of Jesus that you protect our children from all harm, sickness and danger. Lord, please bless our children. Father, today, as parents, care-givers, role-models, parental figures; those that have been given a charge to train up our children in the right way, in the name of Jesus Christ, we renounce the spirit of satan and we renounce every satanic and demonic spirit that has tried to destroy, tie, bind, hinder, oppress or possess our children in any kind of way.
Father, in the name of Jesus, on our behalf and on the behalf of our children, we cast down, give up, reject, relinquish, abandon, forsake, leave, refuse, turn down, disown, repudiate, rebut, rebuke, turn away from, bind and curse the spirit, force, followers, partners, powers, energies, armies, bands, demons, cohorts, helpers, tools, weapons, all manifestations and allies of satan. We rebuke, curse and cast down the spirit of addictions, the spirit of sexual perversions, controlling spirits, the spirit of Jezebel, the spirit of Belial, yoking spirits, the unforgiving spirit, the spirit of perversion, blasphemy, lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride, uncleanliness, emulation, sedition, mutilation, lasciviousness, foolishness, theft and robbery, the spirit of homosexuality, the spirit of heresy, the spirit of arrogance, the spirit of rebellion, the spirit of rejection, the spirit of passivity, the spirit of anger, the spirit of darkness and spiritual blindness, the spirit and demonic force of gangs, the spirit of bondage, false teachers, the anti-Christ spirit, the spirit of covetousness, the spirit of chaos and ungodly order, sexual immorality, the spirit of murder, the spirit of hatred, the spirit of ungodly humor, the spirit of lewdness, the spirit of vulgarity, the spirit of suicide, all hindering spirits and EVERY demonic, satanic and foul and repulsive spirit that has come against and attacked the Body of Christ and our children.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that you guard the minds, bodies and souls of our children; placing your hedge of protection about them that can not be penetrated. Father, we ask that you replace all weak, hurting, cracked and unstable foundations created through fetal, infant or childhood traumas, hurts, pains and experiences with a foundation made by your hands and set on the ROCK of Jesus Christ. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that you heal the emotions of our children and allow them to grow up feeling loved and accepted. Father, please establish an eternal future for them in heaven and cover them in the blood of Jesus Christ; signing their name in the Lamb’s book of life. Father, we ask that you destroy and breakdown every ungodly stronghold that is trying to pull them into destruction.
Please, help them to forever walk in faith and trust in you. Please help them to always have a repented heart and desire for righteousness. Father, in the name of Jesus, please convict them of your principles and teachings regarding their temple and intimacy and we ask that you choose their mate and help them to remain chaste and pure for marriage. Father, help them to walk in righteous obedience to godly and righteous instruction and help them to honor their parents. Father, in the name of Jesus, please help them to maintain good and proper family relationships. Please steer them toward righteous friends and righteous friendships and away from ungodly friends and friendships and ungodly people. Father, please break the yoke of bondage to workers of iniquity. Father, we pray that you increase their desire and hunger for your Word and your Spirit and Godly things. Father, we ask that you keep their minds in good mental health and their bodies in good physical health. Father, we ask that you destroy all bondages, great and small; old and new in their lives and allow them to walk in your complete freedom that you granted your people. Father, we pray that you keep them from falling and that you bless them and make your face to shine upon them all the days of their lives and Father, we pray that the legacy of love and righteousness that you have left and established for us, be passed down to them and to each generation thereafter as we wait for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Father, we ask that you accept our desperate cry, prayer and petition for our children, in the Holy and Precious Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Heavenly and most Precious Father,
Father, we come before your throne of grace and mercy with repented hearts for where we have fallen short of your glory and where we have not trained up our children in the ways that they should go. Father, we ask in the name of Jesus for forgiveness of the sins that we have committed before our children and for where our ways, lack of guidance or unrighteous guidance and poor examples have steered our children toward sin and ungodly lifestyles. Father, we repent of our tolerance of sin and sinful things concerning our children. Father, we repent for allowing the exposure or exposing our children to unrighteous acts, words, images, movies, books and music and even people.

Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Dear Heavenly and Most Precious Father,
Lord, we exalt your name. Lord, we adore you and call you Holy. Yes, you are worthy to be praised. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before your throne of grace and mercy and pray that your righteousness and ways of righteousness be increased among us and among the people of each and every nation. Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask to be washed and purified. We pray for the return, increase or establishment of Christian values and morals among the Body of Christ and among this nation and every nation within the earth.
We have grown tired of the ways of the world and the ways of wickedness. No longer do we want to see our children devoured by the disease of sin. Father, please remove the taste for sin out of their mouths and out of their hearts. Father, no longer do we want our own lives to be destroyed and consumed by the disease of sin. Please remove the taste for sin out of our own mouths and out of our own hearts. Lord, we pray for your help. We can not do this without you. We need you. We will die without you. Father, help us to walk holy and live holy. Father, help us to walk righteous and live righteous. Father, we ask that your spirit of holiness permeate each individual home, town, government, the schools, the workplace, this whole nation, the nations of the earth and the entire Body of Christ.
Father, we pray that your spirit of holiness take headship and permeate the music industries and that your name be exalted within the ears of the people. Father, we pray that your spirit of holiness take headship and permeate the movie industries and that your name be exalted before the eyes of the people. For too long, your people have settled for being the tail, but your word tells us that we are the head. We no longer want to settle for being the tail, but today as the head, we declare and decree that there shall be change among every continent and among the Body of Christ that reflects holiness, righteousness and Christian love, whereby Christian values and Christians morals will be returned and increased among this nation, every nation and among the Body of Christ.
Father, we pray that a standard of righteousness and holiness take root and take hold of this nation and the earth. We pray that that standard of holiness and righteousness be increased within us, the Body of Christ. Please help us to uphold the standard that you have established and exemplified for us through your precious son, Jesus Christ.

We pray that a holy rain pour out upon this nation and the nations of the world.
We know that this nation as well as other nations can not stand without you and that the ways of unrighteousness and sinfulness will lead this nation, other nations and many of the inhabitants to destruction, but Father we know that your Word tells us that it is not your will that any man should perish. Father, as one Body in Christ; we dedicate our nations of the earth back to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, please increase your spirit in us all from shore to shore and border to border, from the most northern part of the globe to the most southern part of the globe and from the west to the east. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray that you increase your spirit of holiness and righteousness in us all and among all the people of this world and the Body of Christ and that you help us to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Friday: Pray for healing and restoration among all ethnic groups and the Body of Christ
Friday: Pray for healing and restoration among all ethnic groups and among the Body of Christ
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Dear Heavenly and Most Holy Father,
Father, we exalt your name. Lord, you are the Most High God. You are worthy to be praised. Lord, we adore you. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before your throne of grace and mercy with repentant hearts and pray for healing and restoration among all ethnic groups, all nations and among the Body of Christ. Father, we recognize that there are deep wounds and hurts that reside in the wells or souls of many and among the church Body that stem from the past to the present.
Father, your Word tells us that by your stripes, we are healed and made whole (I Peter 2:24). Father, we stand in faith, believing that your Word is activated in our lives right now, in the name of Jesus Christ and that not one weapon formed against us shall prosper. Therefore, we forbid any sickness or disease to come upon or reside in our bodies. Every
disease, germ, virus, bacteria, abnormal and cancerous cell that touches those that make up the body of Christ dies instantly in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we declare and decree that every organ, every tissue, every cell, every muscle of our body function in the perfection in which you created it. Father, we decree that we are covered in the Blood of Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray that you keep steady our steps according to thy word, and let no iniquity have dominion over us (Psalm 119:133). You bore our sins and iniquities and you took the chastisement needful to obtain our peace (Isaiah 53:5). Father, I thank you for satisfying our mouths with good things; so that our youth is renewed like the eagles (Psalm 103:5). I thank you that we may prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers (3 John 2). Father, I thank you that the Holy Spirit energizes us daily and keeps us strong. I thank you Lord that you are our healer (Psalm 103:3) and decree that we are healed and well, in the name of Jesus and decree that the those outside of the Body of Christ will see the blessings of perfect health upon us and know that we serve the One, True and Living God.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask that you forgive us for the sins that we and our ancestors have committed toward one another, due to differences in skin color, national origins, economic status, language and even beliefs. Father, we renounce the spirit of hatred, racism and classism in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray for healing and restoration among each ethnic group within each nation. Father, we ask that the deepest wounds stemming from the past be removed and healed to plague no more. Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask that all generational curses and demonic spirits that have oppressed, entered or attached through gateways that were created through the traumas of hurtful historical experiences of each ethnic group and each nation be annihilated and stopped this day. In the name of Jesus Christ, we ask that healing and restoration take place in the deepest part of every soul within the Body of Christ and within all nations.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask for restoration and healing to take place within all of your people. In the name of Jesus, we abolish and renounce the spirit of slavery and bondage, the spirit of genocide, the holocaust spirit, the spirit of demonic fear of other nations, ethnicities and people; and the spirit of ungodly usury and treachery against one another. Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask that the yoke of bondage be removed from every continent and any nation that does not have the religious freedom to worship you and outwardly express their acceptance of you and submission to you without persecution. In the name of Jesus, we bind the Pharoah spirit, the spirit of bondage over all nations that is trying to hinder the growth and establishment of your church Body throughout the earth. As one body in Christ, we decree in the name of Jesus the manifestation of emancipation for the Body of Christ in all the earth. We claim our freedoms in Christ and through Christ, for we know that Christ has set us free; so now we decree and claim freedom in Christ for the Body of Christ and for all continents; Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America and that any soul that wants to come to Christ can freely come this day without persecution. We invite all the inhabitants of the earth to come to Christ. We decree that no weapon shall prosper that is formed against the Body of Christ and formed against those that have elected to become a part of the Body. We decree that an invitation to Christ, transported by the angels of the Lord has been released into the spirit realm over all the earth in the name of Jesus and that every living soul shall feel and hear the invitation to Christ.
We command that the soul ties and spiritual connections to the spirit of hatred, demonic supremacy, slavery, bondage, death, mass destruction, genocide, demonic unrest, human discord, greed, preoccupation with demonic inventions and weapons to destroy human life, to all be broken among us all this day, in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, in the name of Jesus, we present to you every ethnic group in this nation and every nation of the world and pray for a deep healing, restoration and cleansing of all souls and renewing of the minds.
Father, as one Body in Christ, in the name of Jesus, we bind, abort, cast down and disallow all satanic power, satanic influence and satanic steps to activate the usage of all weapons of mass destruction upon the earth. In the name of Jesus Christ, we bind and arrest the hands and forces that might attempt to work through any being on the face of the earth from this day until the coming of our Lord, to utilize the weapons of mass destruction against any nation, group, people or parcel of land. In the name of Jesus, we pray that all weapons of mass destruction, nuclear or non-nuclear be rendered disengaged, unarmed, disassembled, ineffective, bound by the angels of the Lord from this day forward and forever forbidden to destroy human life and the people of God.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray and ask for unity among the Body of Christ. We ask that you heal brokenness and disjointedness in the Body of Christ. We pray for unity in the spirit of love. Father, in the name of Jesus, we rebuke and renounce the spirit of sectarianism and strife and we submit under the one and only headship and Lordship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who we humbly acknowledge as the head of the church Body. Father, in the name of Jesus, we rebuke and renounce the spirit of confusion and we rebuke and renounce the spirit of ungodly religious traditions, customs, false and distorted teachers and teachings that hinder the flow of the Holy Spirit and promote ungodly division and strife among the people of God. Father, in the name of Jesus, we embrace your Word and submit to your leadership and order and we ask that physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing, restoration, unity and order flow through the Body of Christ this day and that you appoint unto us in need of healing and restoration beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that you might be glorified forevermore, in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we pray this prayer in the awesome and holy name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Dear Heavenly and Most Precious Father,
Lord, we exalt your name and we praise your name. Father, we dedicate the fruits and riches of this land and earth back to you. We acknowledge that the earth is yours and the fullness thereof. Father, in the name of Jesus, today we rededicate the land of our nations back to you. We dedicate the soil, the waters, the lakes, the rivers, the trees, the plantation, the fruits, the animals, all the natural resources and the riches of this land back to you.
Father, please forgive us for forgetting to honor you first. Please forgive us for misusing the blessings that you have bestowed upon us. Please forgive us for not being humble and good stewards over that which you’ve entrusted to us. Father, in the name of Jesus, please forgive us for taking another man’s vineyard, when we already had our own. Please forgive us for operating in the spirit of greed and viciousness. Please forgive us for not helping and loving our neighbor when they were in need. Please forgive us for tolerating economic sin and greed and please forgive us for coveting the possessions, excessiveness, ways and lifestyles of the wicked. Father, in the name of Jesus, we renounce the spirit of greed, gluttony and hoarding. Father, we ask that you heal our economy in the name of Jesus. Father, we pray and ask for righteous order to take hold of this nation and all nations concerning all things, including our riches and our economy.
Father, we pray and ask for provisions for the poor, needy and people of God. Father, please forgive us for not feeding the hungry when they were in need of food, shelter or clothing. Father, we know that every sin that we’ve committed to the least of your children, we have also committed against you. Father, please forgive us for all the sins that we’ve sinned against you when we sinned against our fellowman and neighbor. Father, please forgive us for submitting and yielding to the spirit of selfishness. Father, this nation belongs to you. Lord, we dedicate this nations and the entire earth and all of her riches back to you. Father, we pray that you heal the debt of this land and the debt among the people of God. Father, we pray that you remove our dependence upon petroleum and that the vicious cycle around the dependency upon oil be broken, whereby it is no longer a yoke upon the neck of the people and the people of God. Father, we pray that you heal our economy. Father, we pray that you break the spirit of poverty over the entire Body of Christ. Father, please help us to be better stewards over that which we’ve been given and please help us to correct what needs to be corrected in us and concerning our ways, so that we no longer walk in error. Father, it is in the name of Jesus Christ that we pray. Amen
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Dear Heavenly and Most Precious Father,
Lord, we exalt your name and we praise your name. Father, we dedicate the fruits and riches of this land and earth back to you. We acknowledge that the earth is yours and the fullness thereof. Father, in the name of Jesus, today we rededicate the land of our nations back to you. We dedicate the soil, the waters, the lakes, the rivers, the trees, the plantation, the fruits, the animals, all the natural resources and the riches of this land back to you.
Father, please forgive us for forgetting to honor you first. Please forgive us for misusing the blessings that you have bestowed upon us. Please forgive us for not being humble and good stewards over that which you’ve entrusted to us. Father, in the name of Jesus, please forgive us for taking another man’s vineyard, when we already had our own. Please forgive us for operating in the spirit of greed and viciousness. Please forgive us for not helping and loving our neighbor when they were in need. Please forgive us for tolerating economic sin and greed and please forgive us for coveting the possessions, excessiveness, ways and lifestyles of the wicked.

Father, we pray and ask for righteous order to take hold of this nation and all nations concerning all things, including our riches and our economy.
Father, we pray and ask for provisions for the poor, needy and people of God. Father, please forgive us for not feeding the hungry when they were in need of food, shelter or clothing. Father, we know that every sin that we’ve committed to the least of your children, we have also committed against you. Father, please forgive us for all the sins that we’ve sinned against you when we sinned against our fellowman and neighbor.

Sunday: Pray for Christian revival among the full Body of Christ
Sunday: Pray for Christian revival among the full Body of Christ
Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the Body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, we exalt your most precious name. Father, in the name of Jesus, as one Body in Christ, we desperately pray for revival among the full Body of Christ. Please breathe on us and revive us. Lord, we pray and ask that you send forth laborers who will labor in the Gospel. We pray that your hand of grace gird new converts and scoop up backsliders who have fallen back into sin. Please help and sustain the Body of Christ as we submit to the guidance, headship and Lordship of our commander and chief, Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Father, please help those in our immediate circles and congregations to adhere to your divine order established for the full Body of Christ and rid us all of contaminants and spiritual cancers; washing us with hyssop; purifying us to be white as snow, keeping us covered in your Blood. Father, please search us and search our ways and bring correction to our lives and to the full Body of Christ.
Father, please help us all to be steadfast and to endure to the end, whereby we will not miss the mark and we will finish the race and make it home to your loving embrace. Father, we pray and ask for revival among the entire Body of Christ. We pray that you would grant us according to the riches of your glory, to be strengthened with might by your Spirit in the inner man. We pray that the power of your Holy Spirit be activated, increased and fully manifested in us and in every area of our lives. Father, we pray and ask for a revival of prayer among us. We pray for the whole entire Body of Christ; every believer that submits to the Lordship of Jesus Christ within the entire earth, to have fervent love for one another. Lord, please awaken us and open our eyes, whereby we will no longer walk in spiritual blindness. Lord, we desire to walk in the Light of your Son. Lord, let us see and help us to establish and maintain the right focus from this day forward, so that we do not fail at our kingdom assignments and disappoint you.
Father, we pray and ask for your spirit of Holiness. We pray and ask that you help the Body of Christ to trust in your omnipotence and your love. Father, we pray and ask that you keep us from the world and keep us from submitting and conforming to the sinful ways of the world. Lord, please anchor us in your Spirit, so that we can not be moved and when the winds blow, the anchor will hold; and when we are elevated as the head, the anchor will hold, whereby we will not gain the world and lose our souls.
Father, we pray and ask that you increase our confidence in you. We pray for an increased spirit of love among the Church Body, among one another and within the circles of Christian fellowship. Lord, create in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us. Father, we pray that you give us keen and divine vision as watchmen on the wall and protectors of your Name, your Word and your Glory. Father, we ask that you clothe and baptize all the ministers in the Body of Christ in your Holy Spirit, whereby they will be endued with power from on High. Furthermore, we ask that you clothe and baptize all believers of the Body of Christ in your Holy Spirit, whereby they too will be endued with power from on High. Lord, we ask that you increase in us. Lord, increase our hunger for your Spirit and your Word.
Father, we pray for your Spirit to convict and reprove the world of sin. Father, we ask that the gifts be stirred up and activated in the entire Body of Christ to be used for your glory and uplifting of your kingdom. Father, please sanctify us. Father, please purge the sin out of us. Father, please increase our awareness and knowledge of the power that lies within the name of Jesus Christ and teach the entire Body how to utilize his name and pray in his name. Father, we pray that you will pour your Spirit and blessings out upon our seed and upon their offspring. Lord, let us all walk in victory. Father, we pray that future generations will set their hearts upon you and that their spirits will be steadfast with you and that they will always keep you as their first Love. Lord, give us all ears that really hear in the realm of the spirit and are perfectly tuned into your precious voice. Lord, help us to become better worshippers that worship you in spirit and in truth.
Father, we pray that your spirit permeate the schools and colleges and that Christian revival hit every college and school campus among the entire world. We ask that prayer be placed back into our schools. Lord, let the enemy steal no more from us. We pray that your will be done on this earth, in this nation, in every nation and within the full Body of Christ. We pray for the increase of your Spirit within all circles of Christian fellowship. Father, we pray and ask for boldness and for peace. Father, we pray that the whole Body of Christ will receive divine knowledge and understanding of your Word and that we will not perish for the lack of knowledge.
Father, we pray for the unsaved souls that reside in darkness and ask that they be drawn into your marvelous light. Please help the backslider and the carnal Christian to come or return to you. Father, we pray that you pour your spirit out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the spirit of grace and of supplications; and that we all, being the offspring of Abraham, whether by natural lineage or by the spiritual lineage as we have been grafted into the family of Christ, shall always look upon the Lord Jesus Christ and receive and accept him as Lord and Savior. Father, we pray that your Holy Spirit help us pray when we know not how to pray. Lord, please remember and help the suffering, the broken-hearted, the bound, the persecuted and the oppressed. Please give us strength to pray and not faint. Father, please work within us all to accomplish your great will for your Glory. Lord, please draw closer to us and help us to always draw closer to you. Father, please help us all to pray continually. Father, we pray for more conversions, whereby the harvest and harvesting is increased around the globe.
Lord, we ask to be showered by your Spirit and that your people will realize their calling and assignment in the Body of Christ and will work in their fields. Father, please teach us how to intercede for one another. We pray for a Holy Ghost fire and revival to hit the Body of Christ like a tidal wave. Father, work in us and through us. Lord, accomplish what you want to accomplish through your people. Father, create a hedge around the Body of Christ and wake up the Body; revive the Body; blow the breath of life into the Body, whereby every limb, organ, vessel, cell and part of the Body of Christ shall be awakened, aroused, activated and revived for kingdom service. As one Church Body, Lord Christ, we kneel to you and honor you as our KING; acknowledging and confessing that you are Lord. Father, we lay this great petition for revival among the Body of Christ before you, praying and asking in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, our GREAT KING, Jesus Christ. Amen.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
(Phillipians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.)
