Copyright © 2011
Dear Reader,
When I was a young believer in Jesus Christ I was Fortunate to be given a book of 'Scriptural Prayers' I began praying over myself, my family, friends, our Nation ect. This really launched my 'Prayer Life'
A few years ago the Lord nudged my to share 'Scriptural Prayers' with others.
Since the beginning of my walk of Faith The Holy Bible has Unlocked It's Riches of thousands of God's Promises to me. I've continued 'Praying the Scriptures' Over People, Places,
and Things and I will be sharing with you Prayers on a Regular basis.
So Lets Start Praying! It will change your entire life! And the lives of those around you! I pray the Lord will Bless you as you do.
*Note for the reader; The Scriptures in the Bible (God’s Word or promises to us) can be put in the First, second, or third person; “I”, “We” or “They” and Prayed as a Prayer.
In the book of Jeremiah 1:12 God declares to Jeremiah “..For I am alert and active watching over my word to perform it”
The Apostle Paul recorded Prayers he Prayed that we can pray too; Ephesians 1:17 to 21. And; 3:14 to 21. And in;
Colossians 1: 9 to 14
Sincerely, Brother Chris

THE WARFARE PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
I worship You, and I give You praise!
I recognize that You are worthy to receive all glory and honor and praise. I renew my allegiance to You and pray that the blessed Holy Spirit would enable me. I am thankful, heavenly Father, that You have loved me from past eternity, that You sent the Lord Jesus Christ into the world to die as my substitute that I would be redeemed. I am thankful that He came as my representative, and that through Him You have completely forgiven me; You have given me eternal life; You have given me the perfect righteousness of the Lord Jesus so I am now justified. I am thankful that in Him You have made me complete, and that You have offered Yourself to me to be my daily help and strength.
As I bow in worship and praise before You, I cover myself with the blood of Jesus as my protection today. I surrender myself completely and unreservedly in every area of my life to You. I take a stand against all the workings of Satan that would attack or attempt to hinder me, and I and refuse any involvement of Satan in my Life.
Come and open my eyes that I might see how great You are and how complete Your provision is for this new day. I am thankful for the victory the Lord Jesus won for me on the cross, and in His resurrection, I do, in the name of the Lord Jesus, take my place with Christ in the heavenlies high above all principalities and powers thereforeall principalities and powers(powers of darkness and wicked spirits) are under my feet are subject to me and in the name of Jesus!
Thank you Lord for the ‘Armor’ You have provided; I declare I’m strong in You Lord [I’m empowered through my union with You]; I draw my strength from You [that strength which Your boundless might provides].
I put on God's Whole Armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which You Lord God supplies], that I am able to successfully stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
I realize I’m not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
Therefore I put on God's complete armor, that I’m able to resist and stand my ground on the evil day [of danger], and, doing all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in my place].
I Stand therefore, I’m [holding my ground], as I tighten the Belt of Truth around my loins, and I put on the Breastplate of Integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
And I shod my feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, and the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of The Gospel of Peace. I Lift up over all the [covering]Shield of Saving Faith, upon which I quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
And I put on the helmet of Salvation and take up the Sword of the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God and I use your Word against all the forces of the evil one!
I Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end I keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).
"…praying for myself, that [freedom of] utterance be given me, that I open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news (the Gospel), For which I am an ambassador, I Pray] that I declare it boldly and courageously, as I ought to do. In Jesus Name!
I do in every way stand in the victory of the ascension and the glorification of the Son of God where all principalities and powers were made subject to Him, and I claim my place in Christ victorious with Him over all the enemies of my soul.
Blessed Holy Spirit, I pray that You would fill me today! Rise up in me and, break down every idol and cast out every foe!
I am thankful, heavenly Father, for the expression of Your will for my life daily as You have shown me in Your Word. Therefore I claim all the will of God for me today! I am thankful that You have blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I am thankful that You have begotten me unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
I am thankful that You have made a provision so that today I can my live filled with the Spirit of God with love and joy and self-control in my life. And I recognize that this is Your will for me, and I therefore reject and resist all the endeavors of Satan and of his demons to rob me of the will of God. I refuse to believe my feelings, and I hold on to your word.
By faith and in dependence upon You, I put off the old man and stand in all the victory of the crucifixion where the Lord Jesus Christ provided cleansing from the old nature. I put on the new man and stand in all the victory of the resurrection and the provision He has made for me to live above sin. Therefore, in this day, I put off the old nature with its selfishness, and I put on the new nature with its love. I put off the old nature with its fear and I put on the new nature with its courage. I put off the old nature with its weakness and I put on the new nature with its strength. I put off today the old nature with all its deceitful lusts and I put on the new nature with all its righteousness
and purity.
Christ spoiled all principalities and powers and made a show of them openly and triumphed over them in Himself. I claim all that victory for my life today!
I reject out of my life all the insinuations, the accusations, and the temptations of Satan. I affirm that the Word of God is true, and I choose to live today in the light of God’s Word. I choose, heavenly Father, to live in obedience to You and in fellowship with You!
Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life that would not please You. Work in my life that there be no ground to give Satan a foothold against me. Show me any area of weakness. Show me any area of my life that I must deal with so that I would please You. I do in every way today stand for You and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life.
I am thankful, That the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, to the casting down of imaginations and every high thing that exaltes itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every one of my thoughts into obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Therefore in my own life today I tear down the strongholds of Satan, and I smash the plans of Satan that have been formed against me. I tear down the strongholds of Satan against my mind, and I surrender my mind to You, blessed Holy Spirit!
And I Bind you Satan! I bind every Principality and Power, all the Rulers of the darkness and every wicked Spirit in Heavenly places I command you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to get your hands off me, and my family in the Name of Jesus!!! Get out of my Marriage my Home, my Family my Finances with all your demons! And I bring the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ between us right Now in Jesus Name!
Lord I affirm, that You have not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
I break and smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my emotions today! And I give my emotions to You. I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my will today! And I give my will to You, and choose to make the right decisions of faith. I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my body today!
And I give my body to You, recognizing that I am Your temple; and I rejoice in Your mercy and Your goodness.
I pray that now throughout this day Lord You quicken me; Show me the ways that Satan is hindering, tempting, lying, counterfeiting and distorting the truth in my life!
Enable me to be the kind of person that would please You. Enable me to be aggressive in prayer. Enable me to be aggressive mentally and to think Your thoughts after You, and to give You Your rightful place in my life. Again, I now cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that You, blessed Holy Spirit, would bring all the work of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the glorification, and all the work of Pentecost into my life today!
I surrender myself to You Lord! I refuse to be discouraged! You are the God of all hope!You proved Your power by resurrecting Jesus Christ from the dead, and I claim in every way Your victory over all satanic forces active in my life, and I reject these forces; as I pray in the name of Jesus I lift up the shield of faith against all the accusations and against all the insinuations that Satan would try to put in my mind. I claim the fullness of the will of God for today!
I do, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, completely surrender myself to You, heavenly Father, as a living sacrifice. I choose not to be conformed to this world. I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, and I pray that You would show me Your will and enable me to walk in all the fullness of the will of God today, with thanksgiving. Amen.
