Personal Prayer Guide

by | Updated February 18th, 2023

The time I spend with God in prayer is the most important thing I do every day. It should also become the most important thing in your life. Let our hearts constantly cry out to God, for we have “received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15). Developed over a period of 40 years, this is an outline of my daily prayer time. Keep in mind it is just an outline. As I go over each passage of scripture, I elaborate on each verse speaking it out to the Lord. Hopefully, this outline will give you a place to start your own prayer journey with God.

Watch the Message

Psalm 141:1-2 – “Lord, I cry unto Thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee. Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

Psalm 34:10 – “They that seek the Lord shall not want/lack any good thing.”

It should be noted that none of us will ever seek God on our own. “There is none who seeks after God” (Romans 3:11). We cannot, nor will we ever, seek the Lord out of our own volition. Prayer is a work of God’s grace upon our life. “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). We must also understand that any faith we have does not come from us. “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing” (Romans 7:18). This also is a work of grace in our life, “according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3).

Anything of any value or worth in us comes from Him and Him alone. “It is God who is at work in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Even in our seeking God – it all comes from Him, yet He promises that when we seek Him, we shall not “want any good thing” (Psalm 34:10), and that He is a “rewarder of them that diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). Wow! What unfathomable grace He bestows upon us (John 1:16).

Build Your Faith in God’s Power and Ability

Genesis 18:14 – “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?”

Job 42:2 – “I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.”

Jeremiah 32:17 – “Ah Lord God! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee.”

Jeremiah 32:27 – “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for Me?”

Luke 1:35 and 37 – “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee… For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

Matthew 19:26 – “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

Entering the Presence of God

We must begin by applying the blood of Jesus. It’s the mean by which access into the presence of God is granted as well as protection from all the evils of this world. we are given right of entry into the very presence of God through the blood of Christ and His finished work on Calvary’s cross. Then have a time of praise and worship. This is a must.

The Blood of Christ:

Exodus 12:13 – “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land.”

Hebrews 10:19 – “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.”

Access and Right of Entry:

Access is right of entry through the merits of another. We have the right of entry into the very presence of God through the merit of Jesus on our behalf. It is by faith in His finished work on our behalf. Let’s exercise our right of entry into His presence on a daily and constant basis. Our right of entry has nothing to do with us or any merit of our own. “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). Our right of entry is based on the merit of Jesus Christ on our behalf and that alone.

Romans 5:2 – “By Whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

Ephesians 2:18 – “For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”

Praise and Worship:

We should always begin our prayer time with a time of praise and worship. Praise and worship prepares our hearts and ushers us into His the very throne room of God. This releases the favor of God in our experience with Him. There will be times that He will begin answering our prayer before the words come out of our mouth. “It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24).

Psalms 100:4 – “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name..”

Psalms 22:3 – “Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabits the praises of Israel” – Your people.

Acts 13:2 – “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said.”

Grace and Mercy:

Hebrews 4:16 – “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Notice, He says to “obtain mercy.” Mercy is not giving us what we deserve – judgment! We come to Him with boldness to obtain mercy. In other words, there must be some reason or something we have done whereby we are in need of mercy. We are often reserved and timid when coming to God after that we have experienced failure. This verse says, we should come the more boldly into His presence when we have failed because we are in need of mercy.

Psalm 32:10 – “Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.”

Psalm 86:15 – “But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.”

Lamentations 3:23-24 – “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.”

John 1:16 – “Of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.”

Ephesians 4:7 – “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.”

Ask the Holy Spirit to Direct You

We do not have the ability, wisdom or knowledge to pray as we should. In fact, we would not even pray if the Holy Spirit didn’t place it in our heart to do so. “There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God” (Romans 3:11). Let’s seek the Spirit’s divine aid in our prayer time.

Ephesians 6:18 – “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”

Jude 20 – “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.”

Romans 8:26-27 – “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”

Give Yourself Plenty of Time

As the Holy Spirit directs you and you elaborate on the scriptures you use in your conversation with God, it could possibly go on for an extended period of time. I believe that is at least one of the reasons Jesus had His prayer time early in the morning. It was said of Him, “In the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mark 1:35). I do pray in the Spirit intermittently which takes up a little more time, but praying in the Spirit is very powerful. “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries” (1 Corinthians 14:2).

Pray the Word

I’ve found that praying the Word of God is the best way to pray. God’s Word is so much more powerful than anything we could ever think to say to Him (Hebrews 4:12). I have memorized a considerable amount of scripture over the years, so as the Holy Spirit brings other Bible verses to my memory (John 14:26), I throw them into the mix as well.

Dispatching Angels

Dispatch Angels to execute and fulfill God’s Word as you are praying it out. That’s their job. They must give heed to the Word of God and see that it is fulfilled.

Psalms 103:20 – “Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto (heeding to) the voice of His Word.”

Joel 2:11 – “The Lord shall utter his voice before His army: for His camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth His Word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”

Hebrews 1:13-14 – “But to which of the angels said He at any time, Sit on My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”

Job 37:5 – “God thundereth marvellously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.”

Why Pray the Word of God?

Scripture to Pray

Do not simply read these scriptures, but use them as a starting point in your conversation with God. Take each aspect, elaborate on it as you converse with the Lord. Put your entire heart and soul into it. As you speak the Word out in prayer, the Holy Spirit will begin to give you more and more revelation into God’s Word and as to how it may apply to you and those for whom you are praying.

With revelation comes increased power and authority (Matthew 16:16-19). As a result, the power and authority you have in prayer will increase exponentially. It is important to pray out loud often. The Word must go forth audibly, spoken into the spiritual realm, releasing its power and authority and causing the powers of darkness to shutter. “They went to their own company, and lifted up their voice to God with one accord” (Acts 4:23-24).

I usually begin by naming off all those I am bringing before the Lord in prayer. This includes any and all prayer lists, our pastors, our ministries, Israel, my country, its leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-3), our family, children, extended family members, and myself. Don’t forget yourself! A pastor I know, whom I have always held in high regard, once said he spent most of his prayer time praying for himself that God would encourage him. If he wasn’t encouraged he could hardly be an encouragement to others. Great Word!

God’s Choosing and Positioning of Us:

John 6:44 – “No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 6:37 – “All that the Father giveth Me shall come to me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”

James 1:18 – “Of His own will begat He us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.”

John 1:13 – “Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

John 15:16 – “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.”

Ephesians 1:3-23 – “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the Beloved. In whom we have redemption (deliverance) through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; Wherein He has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself:

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of His own will: That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the Word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory.

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all.”

Ephesians 2:1-10 – “And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us,

Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;) And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew the surpassing riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Romans 9:15-29 – “For He saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew My power in thee, and that My name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth He yet find fault? For who hath resisted His will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast Thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? What if God, willing to shew His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

And that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He hath afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? As He saith also in Hosea, I will call them My people, which were not My people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel,

Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: For He will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.”

1 Peter 1:3-5 – “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Titus 3:5 – “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.”

2 Timothy 1:9 – “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.”

1 Peter 2:9 – “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.”

Revelation 1:6 – “And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

Revelation 5:10 – “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

Releasing Faith into the Lives of Those He’s Chosen:

The Measure of Faith: Romans 12:3 – “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” God has given to every person enough faith to believe and to see great things take place for His glory. Let’s release into people’s lives that which God has already promised – FAITH.

The Faith of Jesus: Romans 3:22 – “The righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.” The righteousness of God is originated or imparted by the faith of Jesus unto all who will believe. It is not our faith, but faith is imparted to us who believe. Peter, after the healing of the lame man at the gate of the temple, accredited the man’s healing to faith in or the faith of Jesus (Acts 3:16). When the people began looking to them, as if the healing came from them, they were quick to point them to Jesus. Release the faith of Jesus into the lives of those you are praying for.

John 5:17 and 19 – “My Father works hitherto, and I work. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father doing.” It is God’s will that we have all these aspects of faith. Like Jesus, we must see the things we are praying and believing God to translate them from the spiritual realm into the earthly realm. “Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

The Faith of the Holy Spirit: 1 Corinthians 12:7 and 9 – “The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal… To another faith by the same Spirit.” One of the nine manifestations of the Spirit is faith. Ask the Holy Spirit to release supernatural faith into people’s lives.

The Faith of God: Mark 11:22 – “Jesus answering saith unto them, have faith in God – have the faith of God, have God’s faith.” The Lord would not have told them, even commanded them, to have God’s faith if it was not possible. Be audacious enough to expect the faith of God to be released in your life and the lives of those for whom we are praying.

Romans 4:17 – “As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”

2 Corinthians 4:18 – “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

The Faith of Abraham who is the father of us all (Romans 4:16): Romans 4:18-21 – “Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”

Forgiveness and His Righteousness:

It’s always best to begin with asking for forgiveness and declaring His righteousness over yourself and those for whom you are praying. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16).

Isaiah 1:18 – “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Psalm 103:12 – “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.”

1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

1 John 1:7 – “If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Micah 7:19 – “He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.”

Romans 3:24-26 – “Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.”

Isaiah 61:10 – “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of His righteousness.”

2 Corinthians 5:21 – “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”

Forgiveness of Others:

If God has forgiven us such an insurmountable debt, what right do we have to withhold forgiveness to those who have offended and trespassed against us. Bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness will greatly hinder the grace and favor of God from our lives. We must release those for whom we are praying from all bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness and loose the love and forgiveness of God. Decree His Word of forgiveness over their lives.

Hebrews 12:15 – “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.”

Colossians 3:13 – “Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”

Ephesians 4:27, 29-32 – “Neither give place to the devil. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Romans 5:5 – “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

Reconciliation:

Forgiveness brings reconciliation. Jesus came to pay the penalty for our sins that we might be reconciled to God. Pray the Word of reconciliation over your people and the world in which we live. God’s Word is powerful and this world and every earthen vessel must heed His Word. Let’s bear to weight all the power and authority of His eternal kingdom into the affairs of this earthly realm and every earthen vessel. Decree His Word over those for whom you are praying.

Matthew 6:10 – “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth (in earthen vessels and situations), as it is in heaven.”

Matthew 11:12 – “The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.”

Revelation 3:20 – “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.”

Luke 12:32 – “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

Luke 17:20-21 – “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here it is! or, lo there it is! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you – in your midst.”

Declaring reconciliation with God over those you pray for:

1 Peter 3:18 – “Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.”

1 John 1:1-3 – “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.”

Romans 5:9-11 – “Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 – “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”

The Joy of Reconciliation:

Each of the following verses are in the context of us being reconciled to God. Walking in and living in fellowship with God has an inherent joy that comes with it. Let’s release the joy of fellowship with God into the lives of those for whom we are praying. Now may “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion – fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Romans 14:17 – “The kingdom of God is… righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

1 John 1:4 – “And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.”

Romans 5:11 – “And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

1 Peter 1:8 – “Whom having not seen, ye love; in Whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.”

Psalm 16:11 – “Thou wilt show me the path of life: in Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

Psalm 32:11 – “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.”

Isaiah 35:10 – “The ransomed of the Lord will return, they will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”

Isaiah 52:9 – “Break forth into joy, sing together – shout for joy together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.”

Isaiah 60:5a NIV – “Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy.”

Sanctification:

It’s God’s will that each of His children are sanctified and set apart unto Him. We can and should pray for all who have been saved, washed in His blood, and reconciled unto God that they would be set apart from the world, the flesh, and the devil unto God and His service. This is God’s will and design!

1 Thessalonians 5:23 – “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 4:3 – “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification.”

Jude 24 – “Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.”

Federal Headship:

Colossians 1:12-13 – “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet – qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power – domain of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.”

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 – “For the love of Christ constraineth – compels us; because we thus judge, that if One died for all, then were all dead: And that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again.” In Adam, the federal head of the human race, we have all sinned and inherited his Adamic (sinful) nature. Even so, in Christ, we all inherit Jesus’ divine nature and righteousness (2 Peter 1:3-4). In your prayer time, decree (Job 22:28) the federal headship of Jesus, His righteousness and obedience, over those for whom you are praying.

Romans 5:12-21 – “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Clothed with Christ and the Armor of God:

It’s amazing how few believers put on the armor of God everyday. We are in a real battle with a real enemy. It is incumbent on us to cover ourselves and those for whom we are praying with the needed protections for the day’s warfare. Let’s dress ourselves with His armor before beginning each day, while speaking and decreeing it over those for whom we are praying. Much of the armor mentioned can be found in Christ, therefore, to be clothed with Him and to be in Him is to be covered with His armor.

Romans 13:14 – “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.”

Ephesians 6:10-18a – “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”

The Prayer of Jabez:

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 – “Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.”

The Lord’s Prayer:

SEE: The Lord’s Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13 – “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth (in earthen vessels and situations), as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

Our Benefits in Christ:

Psalms 103:1-5 – “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

The Blessing of Israel:

There is a cursing that follows these two passages of scripture for disobedience. However, the curse itself does not apply to those who are in Christ. “For Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one who hangeth on a tree” (Galatians 3:13). That doesn’t mean there isn’t some differentiation between those who obey and those who do not.

Jesus did say that, “to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29). Therefore, more is given to those who are obedient, if for no other reason than a natural by-product of their obedience and the disobedient miss out on much of what they could have experienced.

There is also additional light given to those who respond in faith and obedience – “to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29). “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the doctrine, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself” (John 7:17). If we obey God and His Word, additional light is given.

If we fail to obey, the light given only goes so far down the road before it is cut off. However, let’s be encouraged that God has given to everyone “the measure of faith,” spiritual light and substance. Therefore, let’s pray that according to even the little we may have that God will add to it an abundance – “to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance” (Matthew 25:29).

Remember, the curse itself does not apply to those who are in Christ. Jesus became a curse for us, He took our place and paid the penalty for us. Even when we fail, though there is inevitably a consequence to sin and a reaping of what we sow (Galatians 6:7), the curse itself was placed on Jesus as our substitutionary sacrifice (1 Peter 3:18; 1 John 2:2; Romans 3:25). “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13).

The blessing of Israel is as follows:

Deuteronomy 28:1-14 – “The Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And All these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and He shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee… All people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods – abound in prosperity.

The Lord shall open unto thee His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many, and thou shalt not borrow. And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath: And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”

Deuteronomy 30:1-9; 30:11-15; 19 – “It shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing… which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey His voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will He fetch thee: And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land… and thou shalt possess it; and He will do thee good, and multiply thee. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day. And the Lord thy God will make thee plenteous – prosper you abundantly in every work of thine hand…, for good: for the Lord will again rejoice over thee for good.

For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. See, I have set before thee this day life and good (life and prosperity), and death and evil (death and adversity); I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”

Divine Health and Healing:

Divine health and healing is provided for in the atonement. This has to do with physical, emotional, mental, relational, natural and spiritual healing. Plead the blood of Jesus and God’s promises of divine health over those for whom you are praying!

Exodus 15:26 – “I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians – the world: For I am the Lord (Jehovah Rapha) that healeth thee.”

Psalm 91:10 – “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”

Psalm 103:3 – “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.”

Isaiah 53:3-6 – “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

Jeremiah 30:17 – “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord.”

1 Peter 2:24-25 – “Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”

Divine Healing is a touch of future resurrection power:

Romans 8:23 – “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”

Romans 8:11 – “But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

Restoration of All the Enemy Has Stolen:

The devil is the thief who has come to steal kill and destroy (John 10:10a). Whether what we have lost in life is from the original fall of Adam and Eve, through direct attacks of the devil and his emissaries against us, or through our own sin, faults and poor choices, Satan is still the thief and source of our losses. Let’s insist and demand all that has been taken from us be restored seven-fold.

Proverbs 6:30-31 – “Do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving. Yet when he is found, he must restore seven-fold.”

Joel 2:11, 17-27 – “The Lord shall utter His voice before His army: for His camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth His Word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare Thy people, O Lord, and give not Thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then will the Lord be jealous for His land, and pity His people.

Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto His people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done monstrous things. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and My people shall never be ashamed.”

Jeremiah 29:11-13 – “I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil (not of calamity), to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.”

Isaiah 14:24 and 27 – “The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?”

Psalm 84:11 – “For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” It should be noted, that though we are called to live uprightly, any uprightness we have is of Him and Him alone (Isaiah 64:6 and Philippians 3:7-9).

Psalm 103:5 – “Who satisfieth thy mouth (years) with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

Hebrews 9:11 – “Christ being come an high priest of good things to come.”

Romans 2:4 – “Or despisest thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?”

Financial Blessings:

Lord, we ask that You release all that has been stored up for us in Your heavenly storehouse, that which may be in holding for us in the world and the hands of the sinner. Let there be a release of wealth into the hands of Your children, for Your glory, now In Jesus Name (John 14:12-14). I decree Your Word over us, In Jesus’ Name (Job 22:28)!

Psalms 35:27 – “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, which favor My righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit:

Let’s earnestly seek the face of God for an outpouring and filling of His Spirit upon/in our lives personally, our loved ones, children, extended family, our churches, fellowships, leaders, our nation and the world in which we live. We know this to be the will of God, therefore, we can pray with faith and confidence that God will do exactly what we are petitioning Him for (1 John 5:14-15).

Again, the most effective way to pray is by praying the Word of God. This assures us that we are praying in accord with God’s perfect will (Matthew 6:10). Let’s be careful not to interpret the following scripture according to our particular denominational and doctrinal slant or bias, but allow the Word to speak for itself as we speak it out to God and decree it in prayer (Job 22:28).

After all, the Holy Spirit, the author or scripture, knows how to apply and interpret God’s Word better than the best theologians among us. We are desiring God to have His way through our prayer time. The whole purpose of prayer is the implementation of the will of God in the affairs of men on earth. “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth (in earthen vessels and situations), as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

Scripture to pray for a visitation of the Holy Spirit:

John 3:34 – “For He whom God hath sent speaketh the Words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him.” Let’s beseech the Lord to release His Spirit without measure upon us, the church, those for whom we are praying and the world in which we live.

John 19:34 – “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”

Joel 2:28-32 – “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.”

Isaiah 59:21 – “As for Me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My Spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.”

Isaiah 12:3 – “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”

Matthew 3:11-12 – “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but He that cometh after Me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

John 4:14 – “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

John 7:37-39 – “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believes on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. This spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.”

Luke 24:49 – “Behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”

John 20:22 – “And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.”

Acts 1:4-5 – “Being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith He, ye have heard of Me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.”

Acts 1:8 – “But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me.”

Acts 2:1-4 – “When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

Acts 4:31 – “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the Word of God with boldness.”

Acts 19:6 – “And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”

Ephesians 5:18-21 – “Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.”

Notice the parallel verse in Colossians, Colossians 3:16 – “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” In Ephesians says we are to “be filled with the Spirit” and in Colossians we are told to “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.” The context is nearly identical! A major key to being filled with the Holy Spirit is causing the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.

Isaiah 10:27 – “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

Releasing all the power and manifestations of the Holy Spirit:

Romans 15:19 – “Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God.”

Mark 16:15-20 – “And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the Word with signs following. Amen.”

1 Corinthians 12:7-11 – “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.”

Hebrews 2:4 – “God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will?”

A Harvest of Souls into the Kingdom and the Church:

With the outpouring of the Holy Spirit should come a harvest of souls into the kingdom and the church. Let’s believe God as He pours out His Spirit to bring in a harvest of souls. Lord, we ask You to bring forth all who have been called of You, along with those who’ve been scattered abroad, the wayward, and the lost to Your Son Jesus Christ. We decree Your Word for the end time harvest to begin NOW. In Jesus name. Amen!

Matthew 9:36-38 – “When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.”

John 4:35 – “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

Isaiah 43:5-7 – “Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by My name: for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.”

Deuteronomy 30:4 – “If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee.”

Acts 16:31 – “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

2 Timothy 2:4 – “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

Abiding in the Secret Place of the Most High:

Psalm 91 – “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, Even the Most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder (cobra): the young lion and the dragon (serpent) shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation.”

God’s Glory and Power is at Our Disposal:

Ephesians 1:17-19 – “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe.”

Strengthening the Inner Man and Enlightenment of God’s Love:

Ephesians 3:14-21 – “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of Whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to His power that works in us, Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all generations, world without end, forever and ever. Amen.”

God’s Love, Protection, Deliverance, and Victory:

Romans 8:31-39 – “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

2 Corinthians 2:14 – “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.”

Revelation 12:11 – “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.”

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 – “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.”

Luke 10:18-19 – “And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power – authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Romans 16:20 – “The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet.”

Exodus 14:13-14 – “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will show to you to day: for the Egyptians – your enemies whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”

Deuteronomy 20:4 – “The Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you – to give you victory.”

Psalms 40:1-3 – “I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.”

Psalms 60:12 – “Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies.”

Psalms 68:1-3 – “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered: let them also that hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

1 Peter 1:5 – “Who are kept – protected by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Psalm 34:7 – “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.” It’s significant to note “The angel of the Lord” is singular. This no doubt refers to the Lord Jesus Himself. He is the “captain of the host of the Lord” (Joshua 5:13-15). He is head and commander over all the angelic host of heaven (Hebrews 1:14).

Breaking the Spirit of Deception:

The devil is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). He has been busy deceiving God’s people from the very beginning (Genesis 3:1-6). There’s a spirit of deception over our world today, the likes of which we have never seen. We must take authority over the spirit of deception (Mark 3:27; Matthew 16:18-19 and 18:18-19) and pray steadfastly for the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment and deliverance. Praying the Word, under the authority and anointing of the Holy Ghost, is the only way to break this end time deception.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 – “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit – breath of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

Scripture to bind and break the spirit of deception:

1 Timothy 4:1-3 – “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.”

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 – “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.”

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 – “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.”

2 Corinthians 4:4 and 6 – “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

Galatians 1:6-12 – “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify – make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Galatians 2:21 – “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ died in vain.”

Galatians 3:1-3 – “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth – publicly portrayed as, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”

Galatians 5:4 – “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”

Romans 11:6 – “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”

Ephesians 4:14 – “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight – trickery of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.”

Colossians 2:8 – “See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.”

1 John 2:18-28 – “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.”

1 John 4:1-6 – “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

Restoring and Asserting Our Dominion:

This has to do with placing every promise of God under our feet, the fullness of all God has for us, every enemy, every resistant spirit and all the forces of darkness. Jesus gave His life (The Divine Exchange) that we might have the dominion that was forfeited through the fall (Genesis 3) restored to us in the here and now.

Hebrews 2:5-10 – “For unto the angels hath He not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man that Thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.

For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”

Deuteronomy 11:24 – “Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours.”

Joshua 1:3 and 5 – “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

Psalm 91:13 – “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder (cobra): the young lion and the dragon (serpent) shalt thou trample under feet.”

Matthew 16:18-19 – “Upon this rock (The confession of Christ – Revelation Knowledge) I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Luke 10:18-19 – “And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power – authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Ephesians 1:19-23 – “And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.”

Ephesians 2:6 – “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

Ephesians 4:7-16 – “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things. And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect – mature man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight – trickery of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From Whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted – being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual – proper working in the measure of every – each individual part, makes for – causes the increase – growth of the body unto the edifying – building up of itself in love.”

1 John 4:17 – “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.”

Revelation 1:18 – “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

Romans 16:20 – “And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet.”

In Jesus’ Name

John 14:12-14, 20 – “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.”

John 16:23-24 – “In that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

Psalm 141:1 – “Lord, I cry unto Thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee.”

Receive God’s Word by Faith as a Completed Act

Numbers 23:19 – “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?”

2 Corinthians 1:20 – “For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”

Hebrews 6:17-20 – “Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil. Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus.”

1 John 5:14-15 – “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, WE KNOW that WE HAVE THE PETITIONS that WE HAVE DESIRED OF HIM.”

Mark 11:22-24 – “Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God (Literally, Have God’s faith – the faith of God). For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; HE SHALL HAVE WHATSOEVER HE SAITH. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

Isaiah 14:24 and 27 – “The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?”

Now therefore, our God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy glorious name.”

Psalm 141:2 – “Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”
