Protect and Cleanse

Lord, I need rest. The kind that only comes from you. I choose now to step into your presence and find it. All issues with my health, my family, my ministry and even training these puppies – I lay it all at your feet. Take it all. I can’t fix any of it on my own anyway. I confess total dependence on you. Be my God. Help me.

I empty my “self-suit” of me – come Holy Spirit and wear this “self-suit” all day. Walk in my skin. Put me on like a coat and walk out your agenda today. As this mouth opens, speak out your will in prayer.

Lord, I pray for blessings upon your people as they gather in your house today. Meet them there. Let your glory fill each sanctuary. Fill each pulpit with a word of truth.

Father, I ask for protection. In the name of Jesus, I spoil every plot of terror against your people as they worship and gather in your name. Be our shield and protection. Release your ministering spirits with permission to intervene on our behalf. Rise up, O Lord, and demonstrate your power. Make a show of your enemy openly with video highlights. Show the world your hand at work for your people. I declare to the enemy camp – “Touch not the Lord’s anointed!”

Fill every pulpit with a word of truth that will make us free. Flood this land with truth. Wash away deception and false teachings. Wash away corruption and unrighteousness. Cleanse your church. Scour us with wisdom and understanding. Bleach us with stain removing grace. Heal the wounds caused by misapplication of your word. Let your church rise up as a glorious bride – perfectly groomed and adorned. Beautiful your church with the beauty of holiness.

Father, let the truth of your word come from every pulpit – served with Your love, compassion and wisdom. Lead the leaders. Guide the shepherds. Clarify to each pastor exactly how to deal with the difficult issues of abortion, divorce, homosexuality, addictions, mental illnesses and health crises. You are a big God with big answers. Lead us. Direct us. Love your people through us.
