Prayer Before Meetings

Holy Father,

Thank you for your faithfulness as our Covenant-keeping God. Thank you for your provision of Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. I ask you to forgive sin, transgression, trespass, iniquity, fault, lawbreaking, covenant-breaking, lawlessness, unrighteousness, treachery, treason, enmity, unbelief, hostility, side-slip, lapse, error, offence, rebellion, missing the mark, and anything contrary to God's nature of love, light, life, truth. Your word says that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. (1 John 1.9)

I come to you in the Name and authority of Your Son Jesus Christ and I bind legally and judicially what shall have already been bound in heaven: Satan, every stronghold demon and territorial spirit, principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies/high places; Lucifer, Leviathan, Belial, Behemoth, the Dragon, those entities governing the N, S, E, and W; Queen of Heaven and goddess spirits, Baal spirits, Baelzebub, Bacchus, Asmodeus, Abaddon/Apollyon, angel of the bottomless pit, all kings and princes and rulers of darkness; spirit of the world, fear, bondage, heaviness, haughtiness, jealousy, anti-Christ, dumb and deaf spirit, lying and seducing spirits, spirit of slumber, all spirits of divination and the occult, whoredoms and error, perverse spirit, infirmity, familiar spirits, disobedience, all evil and unclean spirits, spirits of iniquity and idolatry, river spirits, the spirit that was in Cain, Korah, Jezebel, and Balaam; fear, all aspects of doubt, failure, and unbelief; death and hades, witchcraft, pride, lust, murder and violence, mind control, sabotage, oppression, depression, mammon, and _____________. I bind legally and judicially what shall have been bound in heaven: retaliation, reprisal, repercussion, retribution, revenge, violence, despite, accusation, all requirements of restitution, slander, backbiting, gossip, evil speaking, and sabotage. I muzzle the mouths of every demonic and evil entity, cut off supply lines and communication to earthly hosts, paralyze and neutralize them. I dry up their rivers, destroy their palaces and the thrones of iniquity, and demolish their places of worship and altars.

I loose (people)___ and those of us here today/tonight from their grip and place these evil entities under the ban. I forbid them legally and judicially to operate in, through, or among us and cancel their assignments now in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. By the Blood of Jesus, I loose us from our sins, transgression, trespass, iniquity, fault, lawbreaking, covenant-breaking, lawlessness, unrighteousness, treachery, treason, enmity, unbelief, hostility, side-slip, lapse, error, offence, rebellion, missing the mark, and anything contrary to God's nature of love, light, life, and truth. (Revelation 1:5) I declare us clean by the words which Jesus speaks, our consciences purged, sprinkled, and good by the Blood of Jesus. (John 15:3; Hebrews 9:14; Hebrews 10) Let the Blood of Jesus cleanse us of all that defiles flesh and spirit. Let the Blood of Jesus clear us of guilt and liability, cancel the debt note of sin, cry out on the mercy seat over the Law, carry us into the Holy of Holies, justify and sanctify us, and close the door to the devil. Let the Blood of Jesus sprinkle us as vessels and tabernacles of ministry. Let us wash our hands and purify our hearts, be sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Let us surrender to the will of the Father, not in sentimentality, but voluntarily, with an attitude of "I have come to do Your will, O God." Let us desire to be lawful and loving, harmless and without guile.

I ask, Holy Father, whatever is necessary and sufficient, that holy, elect angels and the holy host of heaven be dispatched to us immediately to dispel the forces of darkness, bind them with chains and fetters of iron, and ensure that those evil entities commanded by Jesus Christ to go, go where Jesus Christ tells them to go. Cast out of these people in this place every demonic and evil entity which has lost its legal ground to remain-now. I declare every demonic entity illegal on the ground of the Body and Blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the Word of God as to the standing of the saints of the Most High God. Lord God, break and cancel every curse, charm, vex, hex, spell, incantation, token, satanic ministration, human and satanic blood covenants, and all divination, witchcraft, and occult actions. Break evil strongholds. I ask You, Heavenly Father, to release the waters of the Holy Spirit, the river of life, to Your people.

I ask, Holy Spirit, that You come and manifest as the Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Grace and Supplications, Spirit of glory and of God, Spirit of Prophecy, Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, Spirit of Holiness, Spirit of Christ, that eternal Spirit, Spirit of Burning and Judgment, Spirit of Adoption, Spirit of Faith, Comforter and Paraclete, Promise of the Father, Spirit of the LORD God, Voice of the LORD, the Life-Producer, and that One whom You, Holy Father, call My Spirit. Loose us from the curse, from judged time, and bless us. Through the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, break every curse, charm, vex, hex, spell, token, incantation, false prophecies from false prophets, anti-Christ destinies, and words exalting themselves against the Word of God. Bring every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. I ask that You manifest in the power of arche (creative), dunamis (ability), energia, ergos (working), megaleiotes (greatness), exousia (authority), kratos (governing; dominion), ischus (strength-"pulley power"), and didomi (power to give). Let the anointing be our protection, our provision, our peace, our place, and our position. The Holy Spirit is the Life-Producer. I ask that Life (zoe) be continually produced in me/us/the Body of Christ.

Grant us grace to thank, praise, and worship You in spirit and in truth. Grant us grace to abide in Your Presence in the Tabernacle Anointing, to be healed, delivered, and saved to the uttermost as You preserve, provide, protect, pity, empower, allow progress, grant peace, manifest your Presence, fulfill Your promises, prevent with Your goodness, pursue Your enemies to their destruction, and bless. Grant that we might move beyond repentance in our redemption to resurrection, rest, rejoicing, restoration, and dwelling in the refuge that is Christ our Rock. Grant us grace to overcome, to love truth, walk in truth, and trust Jesus, who is Truth.

Let us be crucified with Christ, yet nevertheless live. Let us be crucified to the world, and the world to us. Let us crucify the flesh with its passions and lusts. Let us be sanctified unto obedience to Your Word. May the Holy Spirit hover over us and may the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ say, "Let there be light." May the Glory Spirit shine in us, on us, and through us. Grant us repentance to the acknowledging of the truth that we might recover ourselves from the snare of the devil holding us captive at his will. Grant us grace to align with the truth, Your Word, and to abide in it. Put truth in the inward parts.

I also ask, Holy Father, that You hear Your Word in (here, bring scriptures to God) and make it so, Holy Spirit of God, in our lives. Thank You for hearing my prayer. Habakkuk 2:14; Isaiah 6:3; Numbers 14:21

In the Name of Christ Jesus our Lord, Amen.
