Prayer : Reclaim Territory

Heavenly Father we acknowledge your goodness in our lives and praise you for your faithfulness. We bow our knees and lift our hands in praise and submission to your will.

Lord, search our hearts and purge us of sin known and unknown. Remove the hardness of our hearts, the bitterness in our voice and any guile spoken from our lips. Lord empty this broken vessel of ours and pour in your love without measure.

Lord, forgive our unbelief. This same unbelief that has cause us to cede territory to the enemy, stumble unnecessarily, doubt the very faithfulness of your love. But today Lord, we stand on your word, that you have not given us a spirit of fear, and that the weapons of the enemy formed will not harm us. Father, we are emboldened because our weapons are mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds. So we take back territory. We are not asking but claiming it in the name of Jesus. We take back all that the devil has stolen from us; we take back our health, because by your stripes we are healed. We say no to cancer of any form, no to mental issues, no to physical issues. We take back our relationships because your word in 1 Peter 4:8 says, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” We take back our future because we stand on Jeremiah 29:11 and trust the plans that you have for us.

Father for those of us going through the challenges of life which could easily be seen as trial by fire. Remind us that you are bigger than the unemployment, bigger than the heartache, the loss of a loved one and just like the three Hebrew boys, you can show up in person for us. You are the God that never changes and your faithfulness endures forever, so what you delivered the Israelites from, you can do it again. So we place this circumstance we are facing at your feet and praise you knowing that the answer is already on the way.

Father we plead the blood of Jesus over our lives and step out of fear with your faithfulness into favour. Father, let your kingdom and will be established in our lives, in Jesus' name, Amen.
