Hi:
My wife and I are very active with interceding prayer. We have been doing this for a while and we have studied with several people to learn more effective ways of bringing our prayer to the Lord. I would like to share with this group some procedure and insight. Some of you may be doing this now, for others it may seem a bit strange to you but please take heed. This is important.
Before we begin any intercessory prayer it is very important to put on the armor of God. We are warriors for Christ and as such He has provided us with the scripture to insure our safety and our success. We go into battle for Christ fully protected to succeed in our mission. Here is a prayer of protection from Francis MacNutt http://www.christianhealingmin.org/index.htm
Protection Prayer
In the Name of Jesus Christ, and by the power of his Cross and his Blood, we bind up the power of any evil spirits and command them not to block our prayers. We bind the powers of earth, air, water, fire the netherworld and the satanic forces of nature. We break any curses, hexes or spells sent against us and declare them null and void. We break the assignments of any spirits sent against us and send them to Jesus to deal with them as he will. Lord we ask you to bless our enemies by sending them your Holy Spirit to lead them to repentance and conversion. Furthermore, we bind all interaction and communication in the world of spirits as it affects us and our ministry. We ask for the protection of the shed blood of Jesus Christ over_______________. Thank you Lord for your protection and send your angels, especially St. Michael, the Archangel, to help us in battle. We ask you to guide us in our prayers: share with us your Spirit’s power and compassion. Amen
The next step is the actual intercession, I encourage everyone to actually speak to the problem and ask Jesus to take the problem from you. As you grow in your walk you will also want to ask The Holy Spirit to pray through you (yes, speaking in tongues). Here is an intercessor’s creed from The Sword of the Spirit, The Word of God: A Handbook for Scriptural Intercession by Joy Lamb. This book contains many scriptures organized by specific need. I highly recommend it. http://www.christianhealingmin.org/Bookstore/b_intercession.htm
Intercessor’s Creed
Thank you Lord that I did not choose You, but You choose me, and appointed me that I should go and bear fruit, and that my fruit should remain, that whatever I ask of the Father in your name, He may give to me. In the name of Jesus Christ. John 15:16
Lord I believe that all things I ask in prayer believing, I shall receive. In the name of Jesus Christ. Matthew 21:22
Thank you Lord that I believe in You and the works that You did I will do, and even greater works than what You, Jesus, did, I will do, because You are with the Father, and whatever I ask in Jesus’ name, that will He do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. In the name of Jesus Christ. John 14:12-14
Thank you Lord that we believe that You are the God that gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which does not exist. In the name of Jesus Christ. Romans 4:17
The final step is called cutting free. It is important to cut free because we have given the work to the Lord and our part is done. Here is another prayer from Francis MacNutt.
Cut Free
Lord Jesus, thank you for sharing with us your wonderful ministry of healing and deliverance. Thank you for healing____________. We realize that the sickness and evil we have encountered is more than our humanity can bear. So cleanse us of any sadness, negativity or despair that we may have picked up. If our ministry has tempted us to anger, impatience or lust, cleanse us of those temptations and replace them with love, joy and peace. If any evil spirits have attached themselves to us or oppressed us in any way we command you spirits of earth, air, fire or water, of the netherworld or of nature, to depart now and go straight to Jesus Christ for Him to deal with them as he will. Come Holy Spirit, renew us, and fill us anew with your power, your life and your joy. Strengthen us where we have felt weak and cloth us with your light, Fill us with life. And Lord Jesus, please send your holy angels to minister to us and our families, guard us and protect us from all sickness, harm and accidents.
We praise you now and forever, Father Son and Holy Spirit, and we ask these things in Jesus’ Holy Name that he may be glorified. Amen
I hope this helps you along your journey. Peace.
