General Prayers
Adapted from Psalms 91
I go to you Lord for safety; I remain under the protection of the Almighty, and so I say to you, "You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust." I know you keep me safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. You cover me with your wings; I am safe in your care; your faithfulness protects and defends me. I need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight. A thousand may fall dead beside me, ten thousand all around me, but I will not be harmed. I will look and see how the wicked are punished.
I made you, Lord, my defender, the Most High my protector, and so no disaster will strike me, and no violence will come near my home. You, God, put your angels in charge of me to protect me wherever I go. They hold me up with their hands to keep me from hurting my feet on the stones. I will trample down lions and snakes, fierce lions and poisonous snakes. You, God, say that you will save me because I love you and you protect me because I acknowledge you as Lord. When I call to you, you will answer me; when I am in trouble, you are with me. You will rescue me and honor me. You reward me with long life; you save me. Thank you, Lord God.
A Good Prayer
(Adapted from a prayer by Liberty Savard)
In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind my body, soul, and spirit to the will and purposes of God. I release and destroy (loose) any thing else that may have me in bondage including curses from my family. The blood of Jesus is against it. I bind myself to the truth of God. I bind myself to an awareness of the power of the blood of Jesus working in my life every day. I bind my mind to the mind of Christ that I will have none of my own, but only have the thoughts, purposes, feelings, and wisdom of His heart in me. I bind my body to the actions that you have ordained for me that I will be in good health. I bind my feet to the path you have ordained for me to walk that my steps will be strong and steady. I bind myself to the work of the cross with all of its mercy, truth, love, power, forgiveness, and dying to self. Lord, I repent of any wrong attitudes or thoughts that I may have; I renounce them now and ask your forgiveness. I release and destroy (loose) every old, wrong pattern of thinking, attitude, idea, desire, belief, habit, and behavior that may still be working in me. I tear down, crush, smash, and destroy (loose) any strongholds I may have erected to protect them. I bind myself to the attitudes and patterns of Jesus Christ. I bind myself to the overcoming behavior and spiritual desires that line up with the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Father, I release and destroy (loose) any and all strongholds in my life protecting wrong feelings that I may have against anyone. Forgive me as I forgive those who have caused me pain, loss, or grief. I release and destroy (loose) all desire in me for revenge. In the name of Jesus, I release and destroy (loose) the power and the effects of all harsh words or word curses spoken over me, about me, and to me by my family and others, as well as by me. I release and destroy (loose) all strongholds connected with them. I release and destroy (loose) all generational bondages and strongholds from me. Thank you, Jesus, that you have promised whatsoever I bind and release and destroy (loose) on earth will be bound and released and destroyed (loosed) in heaven. Amen."
Confession and Prayer for Healing
Transcribed from John Hagee’s Healing Scriptures CD
Father, in the name of Jesus, I confess your word concerning healing. As I do this, I believe and say that your word will not return void, but will accomplish what it says it will. Therefore, I believe in the name of Jesus that I am being healed as I hear the Word of God. It is written in your Word that Jesus Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. Therefore, with great boldness and confidence I say on the authority of the written Word of God that I am redeemed from the curse of sickness and I refuse to tolerate it’s symptoms.
Satan, I speak to you in the name of Jesus and say that your principalities, powers, your spirits who have the present darkness, and your spiritual wickedness in heavenly places are bound from operating against me in any way. I am the property of the Lord Jesus Christ; I am a child of God and I give you no place in me. I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God. I abide, I remain stable and fixed under the Shadow of the Almighty. His power is in me and no foe can withstand me.
Now Father, because I reverence and worship you, I have the assurance of your Word that the angel of the Lord encamps round about me and delivers me from every evil work. No evil shall befall me; no plague or calamity shall come near my dwelling.
I confess the Word of God abides in me and delivers me perfect soundness of mind and wholeness in body and spirit from the deepest parts of my nature in my immortal spirit even to the joints and marrow of my bones. That Word of God is medication and life to my flesh for the Law of the Spirit of Life operates in me and makes me free from the Law of Sin and Death. I have on the whole Armor of God and the Shield of Faith protects me from all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Jesus is my high priest and He is hearing my confession and I hold fast to this confession of faith through the Word of God. I stand immovable and fixed in full assurance that I have health and healing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that my healing has been purchased through the Blood of Jesus Christ, and that as I hear these healing scriptures the anointing power of the Lord is being released into my life. It is attacking the disease and I am being healed.
Breaking Soul Ties From
www.LibertySavard.com
Lord, I have been looking to another human being to fix the need and the pain inside of me. I have not made right choices and kept my relationship with this person in proper perspective. I want to be free from any emotional, intellectual, or self-willed ties I've let form, and I repent for allowing this to happen. Forgive me for having sought satisfaction and fulfillment from anyone other than you.
I now loose, cut, and sever any and all soul-ties I have willingly or ignorantly entered into. I reject these soul-ties and every soulish satisfaction they have provided for me. I loose them, reject them, renouncing them and every wrong agreement I have ever come into that birthed those soul-ties in the first place.
I bind myself to the truth of your love, care, faithfulness, mercy, and grace. Your grace is sufficient for all my needs, hurts, and issues. I am choosing to bring my needs and vulnerabilities to you alone. I will no longer let fear overcome me when I feel defenseless and vulnerable. Instead, I will remember that this means I am in a place where my soul's walls and defense systems are down. I choose now to realign my thinking and confess that this is not a bad place to be. It is a good place to meet you-there on top of the fallen defenses and tumbled walls.
I will quickly call out to you to come as deep into my soul as you can, touching every dark spot with your grace and mercy. This vulnerability can surely be used as an open door to your grace, God, no matter how quickly my soul might try to reestablish its protective bars over it. I will not hesitate to run through this doorway towards you, for if I am not sure of what finally tumbled the defense systems I've been loosing, and then I'm not sure how long they might stay down. There will come a time when they are completely gone, when my soul surrenders totally to you; but for now, I will continue to loose them until they can no longer be reactivated.
I've tried too long and too unsuccessfully to get my own soulish, human expectations fulfilled. Increase my awareness of the fallibility of my unsurrendered soul's expectations. Increase my awareness of old patterns of behavior I need to loose. Increase my awareness of the wrong thinking I need to loose and reject. Increase my awareness that I can trust you with everything I let you get close to. Help me to recognize every high thing I've allowed my soul to put up between me and you, and I WILL PULL THEM ALL DOWN.Family Dynamics
www.LibertySavard.com
Lord, thank you that you have adopted us and made us a part of the biggest and best family ever-the family of God! Let every one of us never forget that huge blessing and benefit. Let me never lose sight of the power of such a great gift because of the painful dynamics of my own human family. As we now move into the end times, many of our families are more confused and fragmented than ever. A perfect case scenario would be that each of us experienced all the nurturing, love, acceptance, mercy, and provision that we needed. The perfect case scenario would be that we were never abused, neglected, betrayed, abandoned, rejected, ridiculed, wrongly accused, or misunderstood. Many of us never even got close to such perfect case scenarios, Lord, and we have been told we just need to "deal with it" and get on with our lives. Many have felt that such perfection could never be ours.
Precious Father God, you can redeem us with the blood of your precious Son from every terrible thing ever done to us, said about us, taken from us, or committed by us. I bind every wounded heart in every hurting family to the truth that you want to and will freely give all the nurturing, love, acceptance, mercy, and provision they can receive. You will never abuse, neglect, betray, abandon, or reject any one. You will never ridicule, belittle, wrongly accuse, or misunderstand any broken heart. The only thing preventing that from being our heritage right now is the unwillingness of our unsurrendered souls to trust and surrender our pain to you.
Lord, let me see the ones who have hurt me as having been hurt by others who were hurt by others. Let me understand that imperfect people create imperfect people. Let me be the one who stops the cycle in my family. I bind myself to your will, God. I bind my mind to the mind of Christ. I bind myself to the truth that you can restore and make all things new if I will let you. I loose from myself all old patterns of thinking, wrong attitudes, the effects and influences of wrong agreements, and the power of the hard, cruel words that have been spoken to me. I loose these things from every member of my family.
Lord, help me to understand that I don't "have to go there" anymore when old family dynamics begin to play out. I can be the one who uses the keys of the Kingdom to open up all of heaven's grace and mercy and blessing for my family.

NEVER TELL PEOPLE TO STOP TAKING MEDICATION OR TO REMOVE MEDICAL DEVICES. WHEN THEY DON'T NEED IT THEIR BODY WILL LET THEM KNOW AND THEIR DOCTOR WILL TELL THEM TO STOP TAKING MEDICINE OR REMOVE DEVICES.
NEVER TELL PEOPLE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM - LET THEM TELL YOU.
