I have a long journey ahead of me today.  Lord, let my first destination be your throne room.  I don’t want to go anywhere else until I’ve been there with You.  You are home to me.  Your embrace is where I belong.  I love you.  I long for you. 

Father, wash me in the blood of the Lamb.  Cleanse me from every sin and failure.  Strengthen my weakness and heal my wounds.  Make me complete and whole in you.  Sweep away the self and the shame and any fragments of evil that may remain.  Make me Holy as you are. Let me be absorbed into your perfection. 

Lord, you are beautiful.   I worship you with every fiber of my being.  I surrender my life in worship.  I lay the very essence of who I am at your feet.  I pour out my life as a drink offering.  I am yours.  All of me.  Completely. 

Holy Spirit, I yield myself to you as intercessor and ask you to speak through me the words of intercession that will set the captives free.  Lord, let your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Reign here.  Reign over my life, my time, my strength, my health, my family, my marriage, my church, my home, my community – reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Be master of my universe. 

In the name of Jesus’ I take authority over the lies that the enemy has pressed upon your people.  I take authority over shame and despair.  I take authority over hopelessness and grief.  I drive away the clouds of doubt and unbelief.   I banish the propaganda of defeat and sorrow.  I declare that Jesus Christ has conquered death, hell, and the grave – and nothing can stand against his name and the power of his people to speak forth the salvation of the lord.

I take authority over the bondage of indebtedness in this country.  In the name of Jesus – I declare financial freedom over this country.  I loose the economy of heaven over this land.  Let your kingdom reign here and your economy swallow up every debt and poverty at its core.  I bind corruption and unethical practices within our government.  Cleanse our government lord, and let truth and righteousness be the order of the day.  Begin a season of housekeeping and remove the trash.  Sweep away the self-serving and greedy people in our government and replace them with those who will truly serve the people – with those who will be your hand extended to care for us and this land.

In the name of Jesus’ I declare our boarders closed to evil and threats.  I call for a heavenly vanguard to watch over our boarders – evil will not enter here!  Products that destroy our economy and our health you are forbidden to cross any more.  Enemies of our land – you will not enter!  Our boarders are sealed against you in Jesus’ name.  I release the protection of the sword of the Lord.  Supernaturally intervene and cause our enemies to fall at your feet.  Do what governments of earth cannot do.  Sword of the Lord, be our protector.

Be a shield about every force for good in this earth.  Those armies that stand for right – bless and protect them.  Bring them victory over evil and those who oppose your purpose.  Lead them to the source and the resources of the enemy camps and bring them swift victories.  Protect our troops.  Use them for your purposes. 

Father, be the loving embrace to the fatherless in our land.  Lord, I pray for the weak and the vulnerable.  I pray for the children and the feeble.  Care for them.  Meet their needs in body, soul, and spirit. Defend those who have no voice and no advocate.  Help them as only you can.  Send them aid.  Direct your resources where they are needed most. 

Lord, you see every crisis that lay ahead of us.  Look ahead and provide as only you can.  Be our loving God – I release your divine protection and care.  I call upon the resources of heaven.  Feed the hungry, house the homeless.  Be a shelter for all who are lost.

Lord, I pray for my family and my church.  Help us to discern your voice and your will.  You promised us that your sheep would know your voice and another’s voice we would not follow.  Help us to hear only you.  Silence the distractions and the self-serving static.  Fine tune our ears to hear only your voice.  Give us the courage to do what is right.  Cement the resolve in our hearts and minds to do only the things that please you.

Forgive our sins and shortcomings.  Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and stamp your holiness to shape us at our core.  Be the center. 

Make the work of our hands fruitful.  Bless all that we have, all that we do, and all that we are.  Help us to work smart.  Keep us from wasting effort and resources.  Bless the work of our hands. 

Father, I pray that you would order the remodeling project in the sanctuary.  Provide the resources, material and labor to get it finished by Easter.  Beautify the sanctuary with your presence.  Let the work go easily and quickly. 

Lord, I pray that the website and internet church would be up and running quickly.  Lord, help us to launch the website by the end of this month.  Lord, I pray that our internet church would be thriving and healthy before the end of the year. 

Father, help me to accomplish the personal goals that you’ve set before my ministry.  Bless me as I lead this small group.  I pray that every member will be totally and completely sold-out to serving only you all the days of their life.  Bless my Sunday School class.  Help me to plant a love for your word, and your house in the hearts of these children.  Lord, help them to know you.  I claim every soul under my care for the kingdom of light. 

Holy Spirit, pour through me the books and teaching outlines that you desire for your purpose and glory.  Use me as your scribe and to teach your revealed knowledge and will to your church and to those who walk in darkness.  Shine your light through me.

Lord, establish me as a teacher and an author.  Refine my words and let your voice be heard through mine.  Use me for your glory and to further your kingdom purposes.  Help me to go so deep into your presence that I am filled with your knowledge and know the secret revelations that you have hidden for me to find.  I seek those treasured gifts that you have laid up for me.  impart understanding.  Clarify knowledge.  Apply wisdom.  Flow through me.  In Jesus’ name.
