A Prayer For Life And Victory
Last week I received the following prayer from Robert and Kimberly Pinkney, who are affiliated with WIN, a ministry that sends out daily prayers worldwide by email. I greatly appreciated it, and their permission to share it on the site. Since we just celebrated the resurrection of our Lord and Savior this week, it’s important to remember that He died to give us the authority and power to overcome EVERY weapon Satan fashions against us, and that we serve a RISEN Lord who is ALIVE! Thank You, Jesus!
Father God,
You are great and greatly to be praised. You are a mighty God, and Your Word assures us that You will never leave us nor forsake us. And Jesus informed us through His disciples that He is with us to the end of the world. We depend on Your agape and Your great mercies, which are new every morning. Dear Father, we cry out to You in faith. For we know that if we ask in faith—nothing wavering—that You will grant our requests. We also know that this is the confidence that we have in You, that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us, and if we know that You hear us, then we know that we have the petitions that we desire of You! Father, although the enemy desires to sift us as wheat, we stand steady on Your Word. We refuse to faint because we realize that we will reap in due season. Even though weeping may endure for a night, we are confident that joy comes in the morning, and that we will reap in joy. We rebuke the devil’s plans in the Name of Jesus! He will not prevail against us in any of his schemes. Instead, You will prevail mightily through us against the enemy. We rebuke the spirit of death. Death, in the Name of Jesus, you can no longer devour our families. We cover all the members of our families—saved and unsaved alike—with the protective, redemptive and restorative Blood of Jesus, the Lamb Who was slain before the foundation of the earth. Jesus has borne sickness and has rendered death ineffective. We are not afraid to die, but we believe You Lord that we will live out the full number of our days on the earth in protection and safety to do the perfect will of our Father. Our family members will live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. Father, in Psalm 103: 4, we are informed that our lives are redeemed from destruction. That includes premature death and tragedy. Psalms 91 tells us that with long life, You will satisfy us and show us Your salvation. We claim long life—a life worth living and filled with Your goodness. Psalm 23 lets us know that even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, You will stay closely by our side to bring us total deliverance. We thank You, Father, for bringing us into a wealthy place, filled with life. Your Word says that the Anointed One has redeemed us from the curse, being made a curse for us. We know that death—especially premature death—is a part of the curse. In the Name of Jesus, devil, we resist your curse. We command death to flee from us as if in terror. We claim life, and life more abundantly, for the readers of this prayer and all their family members. Enough is Enough!!! In the Mighty Name of Jesus, devil, get your hands off our bodies. Get your hands off our finances. Get your hands off our minds. Get your hands off our lives. Get your hands off our family members. You will not continue to block the salvation of our family members. They will not only get saved, but they will serve the Lord in the greatest capacity. God will use them to wreak utter havoc to your kingdom. We thank You, Father, that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in us—in a mighty way! We have resurrection power flowing through our veins. In the Name of Jesus, we resurrect every dead situation, and we rebuke the spirit of death off our families. We expect good, praiseworthy reports from the doctors, lawyers, our financial consultants, our supervisors, etc. And when we don’t receive them, we purpose in our hearts to believe the report of the Lord. Your report says life not death. Your report says victory not defeat. Your report says healing not sickness. Your report says wealth not poverty. And your report says wholeness (nothing missing, nothing broken!), not brokenness. We are whole and intact, spirit, soul and body all the days of our lives—in our homes, within our families, on our jobs. In every situation we encounter, we are on the top and NEVER on the bottom. IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!, devil, we stop you!! We command you to cease and desist your maneuvers against us. This will be the year of total fulfillment. Whosoever and whatsoever come against us shall fall for our sakes. Great shall be our peace, and no weapon formed against us shall prosper. And every tongue that rises against us in judgment, we shall condemn (we condemn death!) For our heritage is life, and we stand in the gap for every family member so that they might receive the life of God in abundance. We speak to them: LIVE!!! In Jesus’ Name….AMEN!
