Spiritual Warfare - Prayer

Jesus taught us that we can have only 24 hours of prayer protection at a time. Everyday we must begin again and ask for new mercies from God. This is based upon the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6:9-13, 34 and the teaching of Paul in Ephesians 6:10-18. Jesus also told us that we must bind the strong man before we can spoil him (Matthew 12:29). Spiritual warfare, as all prayer will be ineffective if we harbour any unforgiveness in our hearts (Matthew 5:23-24).

1. Begin by praising and worshiping God the Father, Jesus the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
2. Rebuke the devil and bind him in the entire world, as far as you and your ministry and life are concerned, for the next 24 hours. This means your health, your family, your job, your children, and everything in which you are involved, in the Name of Jesus.
3. Rebuke and bind all demonic forces in the entire world, as far as you and your ministry and life are concerned, for the next 24 hours. This means your health, your family, your job, your children, and everything in which you are involved, in the Name of Jesus.
4. Take all of your enemies to the Lord, and one by one, ask God to destroy the works of evil that they might be doing against you for the next 24 hours, regardless of whether they live near or far away. Ask God to destroy all evil work of which you might be unaware, in the Name of Jesus.
5. In the Name of Jesus, break all curses that people might be speaking against you for the next 24 hours. Include in this any curse you might speak yourself, out of ignorance or unbelief.
6. Ask God in the Name of Jesus to send out the ministering angels that He has assigned to you, to guide, protect and help you in every way, so that you might be blessed that day and receive all things that God has for you.
7. Pray for yourself. Repent of the sins in your life and ask God to show you what you need to clean up in your personal life. Pray that God will keep you well and that you will be anointed during the next 24 hours.
8. Pray for other people who are on your prayer list. This is when you take their needs to the Lord and intercede for them.
9. Close by again praising and worshiping the Lord. Thank Him that all the things for which you prayed are now happening and that victory is on the way.

This is just a brief outline. Let the Holy Spirit add and enrich your prayer life. If you have not been filled with the Holy Spirit, ask Jesus to fill you with His Holy Spirit that you might have more power in your praying. This is a morning prayer, but there should be continuous prayer throughout the day as your needs arise and the Holy Spirit brings things to your mind. If you do something and remember it is displeasing to the Lord, repent at that very moment.
