How to pray for missionaries

Father, we pray for the Ransoms and their ministry as missionaries to Ethiopia.

Harvest of souls: We ask for a great harvest of souls that will be won from the kingdom of darkness and discipled into the Kingdom of Light. Give them a hundred fold harvest and fruit that remains. Holy Spirit, go before them and soften hearts that have been hardened to the gospel message. Open doors of opportunity; give them favor with governments, law enforcement, tribal and community leaders. Let the gospel ring out loud and clear and accomplish all that you have intended.

Warfare for the mission and the missionaries: In the name of Jesus’ we take authority over every weapon of the enemy that is formed against them and we declare those weapons will not prosper. We raise the shield of faith that will quench every fiery dart hurled against them. Lord, be their defense and strong tower. Be their offensive coach and give them clear strategy and direction in their ministry.

Continuous flow of anointing: Open a living fountain of anointing that flows from them continuously. Help them not to be weary in well doing. Give them strength to go the distance. Remove those things that would try to sap them of anointing and energy for this mission. Teach them to flow in the gifts and fruits of the Spirit and keep their hearts pure under that power. Help them to walk in your strength and lean on you.

Blessing and provision for this ministry: Father, we ask you to open the treasure house of heaven and pour out abundant provision and blessing on this ministry and on this family. Supply the right tools for ministry that will assist them in being productive. Meet their daily needs for provisions of good food, clean abundant water supply, sufficient power sources, comfortable housing, transportation, communication, home schooling supplies, and special gifts for each member of their family.

Embraced by financial and prayer supporters: Lord, plant a passion deep within the hearts of many who will embrace this ministry with financial and prayer support. Help them to be faithful and tenacious in their support. We claim all the promises and blessings in your word for those who give.

Monthly support raised: We agree together and ask for committed, faithful monthly support. Father, we pray that you would open many streams of support and keep those streams flowing through the Ransom’s entire tour of ministry. Raise this monthly budget support quickly. Speak clearly to those you have assigned to support this work and cause them to be cheerful and ready givers.

Project fund raised: Lord, we see this lump sum of money to be raised as a mountain to be conquered. We want that mountain. We want to surmount this important preparation and enter this season of ministry well equipped and ready to serve. Provide, Lord. Look ahead and provide as only you can.

What should I give? Lord, I want to hear from you specifically. What do you want from me right here and right now. Show me my part in this ministry. Help me to be so submissive to your will that you can have whatever you want from me and I will give it without hesitation or regret.

Win the lost - the right way

Father, I worship you and press into your presence. Lead me beside the still waters and restore my soul. Lead me in paths of righteousness for your name’s sake.
Holy Spirit, what would you have me to pray about today?

Lord, help us to pursue evangelism with
the right motives.

We raise our hearts and hands in praise and we love you with all that is in us. We commit to serving you in ways that please you and meet your standards. We choose to love the lost because you first loved us. Move us with compassion for them. Help us to SEE them. Help us to recognize the opportunities right at our doorsteps and fingertips.

Help us to skillfully brandish the best of our weapons of warfare to recover those captured by the kingdom of darkness and bring them into the kingdom of light. Help us to counsel, nurture, and disciple them until they are part of your passionate bride.

In the name of Jesus we break the chains of deception and assumed lies that hold them captive. Let the truth of your love and mercies reverberate until those chains are shattered.

Breakthrough against Cancer

Holy Spirit, we ask again that you would raise up an army of 1000 intercessors who will do battle in prayer against cancer. Give us a breakthrough, Lord.

Change the hearts of those who profit from the illness of others. Cleanse their hearts. Change their priorities. Fill them with compassion.

Lead those in cancer research to breakthrough discoveries and do-able answers. Provide the prevention and the cure to the masses. Heal us. Set us free.

Truth like a Lion

Father, we pray again for the House Oversight Committee. Give them the right questions to ask that will get to the truth.

In the name of Jesus’ we take authority over every fraudulent political maneuver that would mask the truth and we stop it now. Disarm those who are guilty and protect the innocent. Let no weapon formed against the innocent prosper.

Father, remove the corruption in every level of our government, military, law enforcement, media and educational institutions. Fill the vacuum and void with righteous servants that command the respect of this country and the world.

Open Our Eyes

Father, give us a relentless addiction to your presence. Show us how to open ourselves to you and worship you more deeply. Open our eyes to see you in the beauty of your holiness and the majesty of your throne.

Open our eyes to see ourselves as you see us. Refine us and cause us to be the best that we can be. Develop those parts of us that please you the most. Help us not to waste our lives.

Flow through us in the divine gift of discernment. Open our eyes to see what is of you, what is of self, and what is of the kingdom of darkness. Show us which weapons of warfare are the most effective in each  battle. Show us when to bind and loose. Show us when to speak to the mountain. Show us when to take authority over evil spirits. Show us when to speak and when to be silent and wait.


You said if we lacked wisdom to ask and you would not reprimand us for asking. We are asking. Give us divine sight and insight.

Warring Against Cancer

Father, I pray that you would raise up an army of 1000 intercessors who will wage war and win over cancer.

Lord, I pray for break-though in cancer research, cures and prevention. I pray for deliverance from the spirit of cancer. I pray for release of gifts of divine healings, faith and miracles. I curse the root and seed of cancer. I curse tumors and command them to be gone in Jesus’ name. I bind cancer in Jesus’ name and loose life and health to those who are suffering. I speak to the mountains of doubt, unbelief and hopelessness and command you to be cast into the pit.

I speak life to those who are under the sentence of death from cancer. I speak strength and comfort to the families and supporters who walk this journey with them. Send a refreshing wind of hope and faith. Be a very present help in time of trouble. Be our healer. Be our God.

Show us how to use these weapons

Holy Spirit, use me as your intercessor.  Search the heart of the Father and pray through me prayers that are effective and accomplish His divine will and purpose.

Lord, teach us to bind and loose.  Holy Spirit, be our tutor.  Equip us with this powerful tool and show us how to wield it effectively.   Educate us in our authority and temper that knowledge with humility and submission to your guidance.  Show us how to please you in prayer, warfare, and intercession.  We ask for a deeper revelation of your word in using this weapon of warfare. 

Take us deeper.  Expand our territory and authority in prayer.  Use us and improve us.  Lord, let the two-edged sword of the word in our mouth be honed like a surgical instrument and wielded like a “smart” weapon.  Show us effective techniques in prayer. 

Raise up an army of effective intercessors who will do battle against cancer;  Who will press for cleansing of corruption in our government, our military, our educational institutions and our churches;  Who will do battle for the lost souls who are bound in the Kingdom of darkness;  Who will seek your will and see it manifested through prayer.  Lord, teach us to pray.

House Oversight Committee to find truth

Holy Spirit, use me as your intercessor today.  Pray through me the things on your priority list.  Embrace me until I know your heart beat. 

Lord, I pray for the House Oversight Committee.  Help them to ask the right questions.  Arm them with questions that get right to the source.  Overcome political and personal agendas and let the undeniable, untainted, un-spun truth be revealed.   I call forth truth in Jesus’ name.  I pray that you would unmask deception and protect the innocent.  Help us, Lord.  Be Lord of our Congress and Chief Chair of this committee. 

Father, I pray that you would purge the corruption born in greed and malice from every level of our government.  Fill each position with servant-hearted, capable people of integrity. Purge out those who just simply can't do the job and fill their positions with competent, faithful, and hard working servants.  

Remove the unworthy from seats of power in our government, our military, our media and our educational institutions.  Let your Kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, reign through those whom you have placed in positions of authority and influence.  Support the righteous as they stand for truth.  Give them favor with the people and the press. 

Let your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  

Roar, Lion of Judah

In times like these my cry for help is worship.  I cry out my total dependence on you.  You are my source, my Father, my deliverer and healer.  All that I am and all that I have I lay in a broken heap at your feet.  Consume this humble sacrifice so I can start over.  Baptize me in your loving-kindness.  Immerse me in your river of life until I am clean, refreshed and new.  Help me.  Be my God. 

Now that I am emptied of all my “stuff” – I invite you Holy Spirit to come and inhabit this earth-suit.  Pray through me, Holy Spirit.

Lord, I pray for those who are on the front-lines and invading the kingdom of darkness.  Let your word be a ready weapon in their mouths.  Be their shield and protection.  Reveal the plots and tactics of the enemy against them.  Forearm and prepare them for whatever lay ahead.  Fight for them, Lord.  Give them evangelistic strategy and a harvest of souls. 

Roar, Lion of Judah.  Roar until our enemy quakes in feeble surrender.  Roar until the chains fall from the captives.  Roar until the facades of man’s laws and policies fall like the walls of Jericho.  Roar until the chains of addictions fall off.  Roar until cancer shrivels and dies.  Roar until the intimidators cower in fear.  Roar, Lion of Judah!  Roar out your fierce war cry until it becomes our sound of triumph.  Roar until we dance in victory. The kingdom, the power and the glory are yours forever and ever.  AMEN – So be it.

Roaring against frustrations!

Lion of Judah roar through me. Barriers of frustration I roar against you in Jesus’ name. YOU MUST COME DOWN!! Doubt and discouragement, I roar against you in Jesus’ name. GET OUT NOW. LEAVE MY MIND. LEAVE MY SPIRIT. FLEE BEFORE THE NAME OF JESUS!

Let the roar of the Lion of Judah vibrate the gates of the enemy until they are shaken down and crumble.

I push back the borders of the kingdom of darkness. I set a fortress and strong tower for this new ministry and claim this area for the Kingdom of Light. I proclaim that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords here and now. SO BE IT IN JESUS’ NAME.

Lord, I thank you for the privilege of using the name of Jesus. Thank you for investing that power and responsibility in your children.

Jesus, I worship you. I worship your greatness, your power, the fear and awe that you wield over your enemies. You are the Lion and the Lamb. You are the strong and fierce and the meek and gentle. I worship you my King. Holy is your name.

I submit to you and know that the enemy is fleeing from me right now in Jesus’ name. Cover me and protect me.

I call for these barriers before me to crumble and fall at the name of Jesus. I call for an open heaven. Show us your glory. Give us the knowledge that we lack. Educate us. Fill us with focus, faith and resolve. Show us Lord, when to walk on water and when to part the sea.

Father, we pray for answers and direction. Clarify the next step. You are the light and the lamp and we depend on you. Order the steps of the righteous and keep our foot from faltering.

Thank you for the breakthrough. Thank you for victory in each battle.

Lion of Judah, roar through me.
