prayer

"God gave us a ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God
Himself was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting
their trespasses aganist them, and He has committed to us the word
of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though
God were entreating through us we beg you (insert your spouse's name)
on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God"

2 Corth 5"

PRAYER

PRAYER 

Father I come to You in the name of Your Son, Jesus on behalf of Your people. Lord as many still doubt that You can do this very thing, we ask today that You help our unbelief and ask for Your forgiveness. 

Lord I ask that You would repair the breach in the hedge and put that fiery hedge around each and everyone who has a need. We bind the strong man now by the STRONGER MAN, Jesus Christ and we command every demon, every devil every ruler of darkness, every throne and every power of the air to take their hands off of these families right now. Satan, the Lord rebuke you. You and your cohorts have trespassed here and have no authority. We command you to take your weapons and flee, in Jesus' name.

In the Name of Jesus we plead the blood over every wifes, husbands and children.  We cancel every assignment of the enemy against our family.  We place a hedge of protection and a wall of Holy fire around our families, our possessions and properties, everyone and everything we care about.  We declare that there can be no weapon formed against us, because greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world.  No other name is higher than the Name of Jesus and every other name will bow to Him. 

We ask for wisdom knowing You will give it liberally.  We believe every promise in the Word that we declare, the Holy Spirit will perform.  We partner with you, Spirit of Truth, and release You to fall upon us, giving us comfort, wisdom, knowledge, understanding and Truth to set us free.  Jesus send Your Word and heal our marriages.

I Pray Isaiah 57:18-19 over every wayward spouse: Isaiah 57:18-18 "I have seen his ways and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.  I create the (praise) fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.   

We have assurance as we choose to stand in faith, without wavering, knowing that whatever You reveal, You also heal.  We have full assurance that we ask according to Your will and our prayer is answered because it is Your will!  (Mark 11:22-23)  

We thank you ahead of time, Lord, that as we agree with You, in the power of this corporate anointing, we move the mountains because whatever we say will be done for him.  (1 John 5:14-15)

Lord Your anointing is mighty to tearing down the strongholds and breaking the yoke of bondage. I loose the Holy Spirit into these circumstances and I claim victory in Jesus name. I ask in agreement here that 10,000 angels be put to flight right now by the Word of God in the fullness of the power of the Holy Ghost. Warring angels, angels of mercy, ministering angels and guardian angels. Release the army right now in Jesus name.

I declare favor, prosperity, peace and deliverance over these household. I claim and declare good health, joy and the fullness of the power of the Holy Ghost right now in the name above all names, the name of Jesus!

May God arise and may His enemies be scattered! enemy of the mind be gone right now in Jesus mighty name. Enemy against healing and restoration be gone right now in Jesus name; Enemy of the cross be gone right now in Jesus mighty name. Enemy over financial blessings be gone right now in Jesus mighty name. Enemy over unity and happiness be gone right now in Jesus mighty name.

Lord I release restoration in the name of Jesus. I release divine intervention of the Holy Ghost right now in Jesus name. I release protection right now in Jesus mighty name.

Thank You Jesus for the victory. Thank You Lord for Your protection. To You be all the glory, all honor and praise. We love You Lord, and thank You for Your divine Intervention, in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Scripture prayers for your marriage - from rejoiceministries.org

"O Lord, I call to You; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You. Thank
You Lord, that You will answer me and tell me great and unsearchable things I do not
know. May my prayer be set before You like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be
like the evening sacrifice. Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I
have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in You. Teach me to do Your
will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Search me, O
God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any
offensive way in me, and lead me and wife in the way everlasting. Have mercy on us, O
God, according to Your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion blot out our
transgressions. Wash away all our iniquities and cleanse us from our sins. Set a guard
over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let not my and wife's
heart be drawn to what is evil. I keep asking You to fill us with the knowledge of Your
will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And I pray that we may live a life
worthy of the Lord and may please You in every way. I pray that You will open wife's
eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that
we may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by
faith in You. I pray that wife will repent and turn to You, Lord and prove our repentance
by our deeds. For You have rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us
into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of
sins. I keep asking that the God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give
wife and I the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know You better. I pray
that the eyes of our hearts may be enlightened in order that wife and I may know the
hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints. I
pray that wife will live by the Spirit, and will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
May You fill wife and I with the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I pray that wife and I may
be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is
faithful, and He will strengthen and protect us from the evil one. I praise You that You
will cleanse wife and I from all our impurities and from all our idols. You will give us
each a new heart and put a new spirit in us; You will remove from us our heart of stone
and give us a heart of flesh. Thank You Lord that I am not be afraid or discouraged
because of this vast problem. For the battle is not mine, but Yours. Thank You Lord
that I can do everything through You who gives me strength. And You will meet all my
needs according to Your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Thank You Lord for Your
promises that what You have said, that will You bring about; what You have planned,
that will You do. Thank You for Your Word that goes out from Your mouth: It will not
return to You empty, but will accomplish what You desire and achieve the purpose for
which You sent it. Our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. For
nothing is impossible with God. Thank You Lord for healing and restoring our marriage
and for all marriages around the world. I pray this in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen."

DELIVERANCE FROM LUST

DELIVERANCE FROM LUST
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of  impurity,
or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. (Eph. 5:3 NIV)

 
Father,
I come boldly before Your throne of grace and mercy to find help and strength my time of need.  Lord Your word says to watch and pray so that we will not enter into temptation, for we know that the spirit is willing, but Father my flesh is weak.
Lord, I submit myself to You, for Your word says that if we submit ourselves unto You, that we could resist the enemy and he would flee from us.  Lord I am fully submitted to You, all that I am, all that I ever hope to be.  I surrender unto You. 
Father, I am weak but thou art strong, I know in my weakness You are made strong.  I know that my strength is not in my will to withstand the devil and his many temptations, but my faith, my strength, my hope is in You.  Therefore, Lord I confess that I am strong in You, and in the power of Your might.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I cast down every wicked, lustful, lascivious, and unclean thought of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  I refuse to allow any thoughts of the enemy to enter in; I dismiss them from me in the name of Jesus.  Father, I pray that You will cause me to think upon those things which are pure, honest, and of a good report, and I pray that You will not allow my mind to wander into idleness, but to stay upon the name of Jesus.
Father, I thank You for revealing the evil lustful spirit that was trying to confuse me.  I thank You for not allowing me to be drawn away by his words of flattery, his lustful eyes, or his gifts of deceit.  I thank You for not allowing me to be overcome with lust in my eyes, for I know the eyes are the door to the heart, and Your words says to guard my heart with all diligence.  So Father, please help me to guard my heart by the words that I speak.
Father, I pray that You will place upon me the whole amour of God, so that I will always be able to stand against the tricks of the enemy.  I pray that You will lead and deliver me from every temptation of lust, sin, and evil. 
In the name of Jesus, I take authority over Satan, every principality, every evil spirit, and every spirit of wickedness in high places.  I bind them up in the name of Jesus Christ and render them helpless from operating in my life.  In the name of Jesus I bind and cast off ever spirit of lust, adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, and uncleanliness in my life. Father, I surrender my body to you as a living sacrifice, and I recognize that my body is the temple of the Almighty Living God and a dwelling place for His Holy Spirit and I rejoice in knowing that the blood of Jesus Christ covers me. 
Satan, in the name of Jesus, every stronghold, You have tried to bring against me has been rendered helpless, powerless and ineffective to operate in my life, by the authority of Jesus Christ! I put off all forms of lust and put on the new nature of righteousness, purity, and honesty. Jesus has defeated satan in my life, and now you are under my feet, and your power of lust and sin is broken in my life. 
Father, I thank You for hearing my prayer, and delivering me from the tricks of the enemy.  I thank You for Your word and how it is established in my heart and in my life.  I thank You for giving me power over the enemy, I thank You for strengthening me so that I will not defile my body, and that it will be a temple for the Holy Spirit.  Thank You Lord, for restoring me, for cleansing me, and for forgiving me for my weakness.  I praise You; I give You all the glory and say Hallelujah to the name of Jesus.
In Jesus name Amen

She does him good. (Prov. 31:12a)
Bless your husband by praying for him!

your husband is good for him, for you and the spiritual health of your home (Prov.

The sun shall not strike you by day,

The LORD will keep you

from all evil;
he will keep your life.
The LORD will keep your going out
and your coming in
from this time on and forevermore.

The Psalm 91 Prayer for a Hedge of Protection

The Psalm 91 Prayer for a Hedge of Protection

November 2, 2010
The following Prayer is for a hedge of protection around you and your family according to Psalm 91. Psalm 91 is a prayer for Christians only. This is not a prayer to be prayed for or by non Christians as the basis of the protection is seen in Verse 14.  If you would like to know how to become a Christian, see the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Psalm 91 (New Living Translation)

1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished. 9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
11 For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! 14 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”
Heavenly Father, I (we) ask You to place a hedge of protection around me (us). It hides me (us) from the enemy, familiar spirits, any and all demon spirits, making it difficult, if not impossible for them to effectively track or trace me in the realm of the spirit. There shall be no perforations or penetrations to these hedges of protection according to your word in Psalm 91. I(we) know that You will answer this prayer because I (we) love You and I(we) trust in Your name only.  I pray that Your blood Lord Jesus will cover me(us) and all that You have given me(us).  That the enemy will not have access to what has been given to me(us).Thank you for your divine protection in Jesus Name, Amen.

Restoration Prayers

Praise the Lord O my soul! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
Lord, I pray that my Beloved will love the Lord God with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul and with all [his] strength. I pray that [his] heart would fear the Lord and keep all His commands always so that it might go well with us and our children forever.
I pray that [he] will not continue to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature.
In the Name of Jesus and by and through the authority and power of His shed blood, I bind the demonic influences that are coming against me, my spouse and our Marriage, and loose on [him] the fruits of the Spirit which are Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control. Help us, Lord, to live by Your Spirit and let us keep in step with the Spirit of Truth.
Lord, You say that cursed is the one who trusts in man who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord. But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. Lord, You say that the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Our Lord searches the heart and examines the mind to reward a man according to his conduct; according to what his deeds deserve. Father do not allow [him] to continue to deny You but in Your Mercy, Love and Grace, bring [him] to [his] knees before You in repentance and acknowledgment of You as [his] Savior and Lord. Father, bring [him] back to You.
Lord, speak to my beloved prodigal in dreams, in visions of the night when deep sleep falls on [him] as [he] slumbers in [his] bed. Speak in [his] ears and terrify [him] with warnings, to turn [him] from wrongdoing and keep [him] from pride to preserve [his] soul from the pit. Lord, I praise You that you say, ‘Spare [him] from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom for [him] — then [his] flesh is renewed like a child’s. It is restored as in the days of [his] youth. [He] prays to God and finds favor with Him. [He] sees God’s face and shouts for joy; [he] is restored by You to [his] righteous state.’ Lord, restore my Beloved in accordance with Your Word and Your Will now, in the mighty Name of Jesus, for today is the day of salvation.
Lord, I pray that my beloved spouse will not continue to conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but that [he] will be transformed by the renewing of [his] mind. Then [he] will be able to test and prove what God’s will is — His good pleasing and perfect will.
Thank You Lord, that I will not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army of problems that I am facing. For the battle is not mine, but it is Yours. I have faith in You alone.
I pray that my prodigal spouse will flee the evil desires of [his] youth and pursue Righteousness, Faith, Love and Peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. I pray that [he] will come to [his] senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken [him] captive to do his will. Lord, I pray that You will open [his] eyes and turn [him] from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that [he] may receive forgiveness of [his] sins.
Blessed Father, wash away all our iniquities and cleanse us from all our sins. Create in each of us a pure heart, O God. Restore to us the joy of Your salvation and grant us a willing spirit to sustain us and enable us to be obedient to that which You have called us for. To You, O Lord, we lift up our souls; in You we trust, O our God. Do not let us be put to shame, nor let our enemies triumph over us.
Show us Your ways, O Lord, teach us Your paths; guide us in Your truth and teach us, for You are God our Savior, and our hope is in You all day long. Lord, may we bear with each other in Love and Forgive whatever grievances we may have against one another. Let us learn and remember daily to forgive as the Lord forgives us. And over all these virtues may we put on Love, which binds us all together in perfect unity – a Love that covers over a multitude of sins..
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. Lord, let us never forget, ‘What is impossible with men is possible with God.’ ‘No weapon forged against me, my Beloved Spouse, our marriage, our home and loved ones will prevail.’ We will have faith in the Lord our God. The Lord will keep me and my spouse from all harm — He will watch over our lives; the Lord will watch over our coming and going both now and forevermore.
We pray this all in the mighty and matchless Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
…and Amen.

I believe and say that my children are wise and they take heed to and are the fruit of godly instruction and correction. I love my children and I will diligently discipline them early. Because of that, they give me delight and rest.Father, I take Your Word that says You will contend with him who contends with me and You give safety to my children and ease them day by day. I confess that You, Lord, give Your angels special charge over my children to accompany and defend and preserve them. I believe they find favor, good understanding and high esteem in Your sight Lord, and in the sight of man.
I confess that my children are disciples taught of the Lord and obedient to Your will. Great is their peace and undisturbed composure. I believe I receive wisdom and counsel in bringing up my children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. And Your Word declares that when they are old they will not depart from it. So, I commit them into Your keeping and I know and have confident trust that they are watched over and blessed of the Lord all the days of their lives, in Jesus' Name.
Amen.

To Walk in the Perfect Peace of God
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You that Your peace is my covenant right in Christ Jesus. I will keep my mind fixed on You Lord and trust in You and You will keep me in perfect peace.I will not fret or have anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, I will continue to make my wants known to You, Father. And Your peace, which transcends all understanding, shall garrison and mount guard over my mind and heart in Christ Jesus. I fix my mind only on that which is worthy of reverence, honorable, just, pure, lovely, kind and gracious. If there is anything worthy of praise, I will think on and weigh and take account only of these things.
I will let the peace of God rule in my heart. As I do, I believe that my calm and undisturbed heart and mind are life and health to my physical body. I humble myself under the mighty hand of God, casting all of my concerns and anxieties on Him once and for all, because I know that He cares for me affectionately.
I thank You, Father, that You have not given me a spirit of timidity, of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear. The spirit I have of You is of power and love and of a calm and well balanced mind, of discipline and self control. You, Lord, are on my side; I will not fear. What can men do to me? You, Lord, are my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear or dread? You, Lord, are the refuge and stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? I love Your law, 0 Lord; nothing shall offend me or make me stumble; I walk in great peace, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

Walking in the Wisdom and Guidance of the Holy Spirit
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I realize that as a believer, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My acknowledgment of His presence on a daily basis makes my faith in Him effectual. I believe that You, heavenly Father, are leading me and guiding me by the Holy Spirit through my spirit and illuminating my mind.As I yield to the Holy Spirit, I believe that my steps are ordered of the Lord. Committing and trusting myself wholly to His guidance, I expect Him to cause my thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and so shall my plans be established and succeed. I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. As I acknowledge Him, He directs me in paths of righteousness.
I confess that as I become more God inside minded, I can more easily recognize the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. I hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and a stranger's voice I will not follow. I am aware that my spirit is the candle of the Lord.
I meditate in the Word day and night, not letting it depart from my mouth. I test my inward witness with the Word, for the Spirit and the Word agree. I am quick to act on the Word, as well as the prompting of my spirit. I am not a hearer only, but a doer. Therefore, I am blessed in all my deeds.
Amen.

A Prayer for Your Finances
Heavenly Father, I have chosen Jesus as the Lord of my life and I seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, believing that the material things I need will be supplied. I choose for my character and moral disposition to be free from the love of money, greed, lust and craving for earthly possessions. I am satisfied with my present circumstances and with what I have, being confident because You have promised that You will not in any way fail me, nor leave me without support. I am confident in Your faithfulness, that You will never leave me, nor forsake me, nor leave me helpless. I take comfort and am encouraged; I boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper, I will not be seized with alarm, I will not fear, or dread or be terrified.'I believe, Father, that You wish above all things that I prosper and be in health even as my soul prospers. I will meditate in Your Word day and night, not letting it depart from my mouth, keeping it in the midst of my heart, observing to do all that is written therein. I believe that then I shall make my way prosperous and have good success. You have promised that as a doer of the Word I will be blessed in all of my deeds. I am assured that You will withhold no good thing from me as I walk uprightly. The uncompromising are never forsaken. I make it my ambition to live quietly and peacefully, to mind my own affairs, to work with my hands so that I may bear myself correctly and honorably and command the respect of the outside world, being self supporting, dependent on no one and having need of nothing.
Knowing through Your Word, Father, that You are the Lord my God who teaches me to profit and who leads me by the way I should go, I will put Your principles to work in my life regarding employment. I choose to apply myself to good deeds to honest labor and honorable employment, so that 1 may be able to meet necessary demands whenever the occasion may require and that I may not live an idle, uncultivated, unfruitful life, in Jesus' Name.
I labor so that I may walk honestly toward those who are without. As I give, it is given unto me again; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will men give into my bosom. I do not sow sparingly and grudgingly, but rather, I sow generously, blessing others. Therefore, I can expect to reap generously and with blessings.
Amen.

Overcoming Bad Habits
Father, I believe that my faith becomes effectual - divinely energized - by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in me in Christ Jesus. Through my union with Christ, I am a new creature, old things are passed away and all things have become new.I was crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. I was buried with Him in baptism, and raised together with Him by the power of the Holy Spirit so that I might habitually live and behave in newness of life. My old, unrenewed self was nailed to the Cross with Him in order that my body, which is the instrument of sin, might be made ineffective and inactive for evil and that I might no longer be the slave of sin.
Just as death no longer has power over Jesus Christ, neither does sin have dominion over me through my union with Him. I consider myself dead to sin and my relation to it broken. I am alive only to God, living in unbroken fellowship with Him, in Christ Jesus.
I have been delivered from the control and dominion of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of light. I have been raised together with Christ and am seated together with Him, far above principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and wicked spirits in high places. Sin shall no longer exert dominion over me, but I have dominion over sin. It is under my feet, in the Name of Jesus,
Amen.
