I thought it appropriate that it should be here. It is a bit long but it is good.
You are blessed when you pray.
STRATEGIC PRAYER STRATEGY
(A Prayer Template for addressing Idolatry, Bloodguilt, Immorality, and Broken Covenants – on a global basis).
Father God I / we come to you, the Creator of heaven and earth, the Holy One who revealed yourself to Israel as YHWH (Yahweh), the eternal “I AM” – the covenant-keeping God. I / we acknowledge that You are the only true God, the Supreme God of Gods and King of Kings. I / we believe that you have revealed Yourself through Jesus Christ who came in the flesh, died on the Cross, rose from the dead and ascended to heaven to sit at Your right hand on the throne. I / we enter now into Your Presence through the way Jesus Christ opened by the sacrifice of Himself on the Cross and come before you in His Name. I / we confess that I am / we are saved by faith through the work of Jesus Christ on the Cross and not by works, and that my / our salvation was a gift from You. I / we submit myself / ourselves under Your authority as the Judge who has the power to forgive sin and bring healing.
I / we come before You today in confession and repentance on behalf of myself and my ancestors (ourselves and our ancestors) to ask You to break the power of sin in my life and the lives of my people – the tribe / clan / ethnos that I / we represent, and all from all forms of work and stewardship under our influence and authority.
I / we want to honour my earthly father and mother an all my ancestors of my own flesh and blood, but I reject their sin and turn my back on it. I forgive my ancestors for the effect of their sins on my descendants and on me. I confess and reject all my own sins and ask You to allow the Holy Spirit to apply the power of the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the Cross in my life and to release the victory of the Cross over sin and bondages in my life as well as those of my descendants. I also ask You to allow the Holy Spirit to apply the power of the blood of Jesus Christ over Satan and all his hosts of darkness. I believe through faith that the victory is available right now. You Lord God are the same yesterday, today and forever – You are the Alpha and the Omega – You are the beginning and the end – You are the God who is – who was – and who is to come.
I / we now utterly renounce anything of the past as having any right of entrance or influence upon my / our future. I / we declare in the spiritual realm and upon the earthly realm that I (our), my (our) inheritance, my (our) descendants, my (our) office, and all that I (we) identify with as (a) steward(s) of what God has entrusted to me / us – turn completely and unreservedly to the Lord and to His destiny and to His release for all He will choose to do in and through me / us.
From this point on – the singular pronoun will be used – but when it needs to be used in a corporate setting – please apply accordingly. It is important we allow the Lord to bring revelation in how we pray – and for Him to bring revelation to what we cover – both individually and corporately. At times you may need to pause and sense how the Lord brings immediate revelation as this template for prayer is followed.
