It seems that I have been in one battle after another since returning home. First you have to adjust to the time change, then my internet went down and even once it was fixed I have had problems and many, many other things. Why give the devil glory by listing them. But I know the battle follows you home and it doesn't stop when you expect it to stop. I have determined to continue in all of my committments to the Lord in prayer and fasting and to not complain. For I know that my God is well able to keep that which I have comitted to Him against that day. He will do the same for you in your battles and struggles.
We must understand that when things get a little rough there is a big battle going on in the heavenlies over us. What we have to determine, is will we cooperate with the angels that fight on our behalf or will we take the weapons out of their hands by compalining, whinning, worry, fear, accusation, judging the Lord by the things that happen on this earth and even turning inwards to self in the realms of pity, anger, critising and judging. The last thing any of us need is self on the throne of our lives even for a minute. Many of you have contacted me about severe problems you are having. So follow me in this prayer if you are having troubles as well - allow me to lead you in a prayer as the Lord has shown me.
Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, at every level, sins in my thoughts, feelings, attitudes and actions. I repent of any complaining and accusations in my heart and I ask you to forgive me. I ask you to wash me in the Blood of Jesus Christ so that I may be clean and clothe me in your Righteousness that I may be holy, for I desire to come into Your presence and You are holy. Wash me hands, feet, face and inner core. I plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over me, in me, to me and through me and as a protective sheild about me. I rebuke every curse spoken against me, felt against me, sent against me or that comes from learned behavior. I rebuke every assignment of the enemy against me by the Blood of Jesus Christ and I claim Your divine protection Lord Jesus over me and over my household. I am redeemed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and I say so. The Blood line has been drawn about me and all that pertains to me. I am protected. Satan the Blood of Jesus is against you.
I put on the whole armor of the Lord; the helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteouseness, girdle of truth, my feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, the sword of the Spirit and Your scepter of authority. The sheild of faith that quenches all the firey dart of the evil one. I put on my breastplate of intercession for all those I pray for and love. I put on all of You Lord Jesus and Your Breastplate of Intercession as well as I stand as Your prayer partner in the earth. My life is hidden in Christ. Your Word says in John 10:3-5 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Teach me Your voice Lord and cause me to hear clearly and follow only You. Protect me from every lie and deception of the enemy that I may please only You. Psalms 37:23 says The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Your Word even says You will heal our "ways". So Lord heal our ways and order them that they may delight You. I command every situation and need to come into line with the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ concerning me that He has decreed legal over me and to me. I release Your hand Father God to intervene in every situation by Your divine intervention on my behalf. Breath on me Lord Jesus and numb the flesh that the Spirit may listen and receive. I let go to You Lord Jesus completely and I ask You Holy Spirit to help me do that and instruct me, I yield to You.
I refuse vain thoughts. These are my thoughts and I command them to line up with the truth in Christ. I claim the mind of Christ. Lord I give you control of my thoughts, desires and feelings. I cannot control them but I yield them to your control for you have said I am to live by the Spirit in You. I refuse to listen to the accustations, threats and lies of the enemy or even look at him or be curious about anything concerning him. You have said we are not even to speak of those things sinners do in private. I only have eyes for you Jesus and I will be careful what I see. I only have ears for you Jesus and I will be careful what I listen to and how I listen.
Fill me with Your faith Lord and heal my trust. Remove every veil and obsticale that would hinder me from you. By Your strength help me keep my focus only on You. Fill me with Your wisdom, not earthly wisdom. Fill me with Your knowledge, knowing You above all else. For the Word says You were manifested to destroy the works of the evil one. Manifest yourself to me and in my situations that the works of the evil one may be destroyed and that I may grow in Your love. If there is any open door in my life or I have given access to attack in any way that I need to correct, I ask you to show me and give me Your strength to be correctable and to love Your truth which is Your Word. My life is only Yours Lord and not my own. You desire to bless Your children and take extra abundant good care of them in all things. Help me line up with that in Jesus Christ holy name. I proclaim that You are good and You are good to Me now. You do love me and Your plans for me are only good Amen.
May I suggest at least one hour of proclaiming scriptures. The enemy can not stand against the Word of God. One hour of praying in tongues. Letting the Holy Spirit do His job by allowing Him to do the praying. It is powerful. One hour of true from the heart worship and listening, as well as your regular Bible Study time and a secret weapon the Lord has shown me, 10-20 minutes of laughing in the Spirit, even if you have to force it, you are digging the well of joy so you can draw waters from the wells of salvation. That word salvation in Isaiah 12 means whatever you need when you need it.
I don't like the tests the enemy throws my way, so I know I had better gaurd my heart and my attitudes and pass that test or I will be taking it again and again. The worse the test the more determined I am to win. I don't want to go through that trouble over and over. If it works to stop you or hinder you, why would the devil stop doing it? But if you pass the test of your faith then he must stop. So whatever trial you are going through, don't complain, don't take the weapons out of your angels hands, work with them. Show the Lord that your love for Him is not based on your situations, it is real.
I love you and pray this helps some one. Let me know. I am praying for you and I care.
Love,
