I was recently honored by a request from the World Intercessory Network to be one of their prayer warriors, but I feel unable to make that kind of additional time commitment right now. However, I did agree to help out once in awhile, which I was asked to do today. So the following prayer will go out by email worldwide later today and I’d appreciate your prayers that it will be a blessing to someone in particular, and, of course, to all of you as well!

Our MOST AWESOME Heavenly Father…

With hearts full of praise and thanksgiving, we come before Your throne confessing our love and adoration for You, for You are great and mighty and worthy to be praised! Your arm is endued with power; Your hand is strong, Your right hand exalted. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; and Your enduring and everlasting love and faithfulness always go before You.
When we acclaim You, and walk in the light of Your presence, we are blessed. And when we call unto You, You answer us and show us great and unsearchable things we do not know. When we trust in You with all our hearts, and lean not on our own understanding, and acknowledge You in all our ways, You make our paths straight. When we delight in You, You give us the desires of our hearts. And when we commit ourselves to Your way and trust in You, You make our righteousness shine like the dawn and the justice of our cause like the noon day sun! Yes, Lord, You are indeed great and mighty and worthy to be praised!

And we thank You for the very extravagant gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the very precious bread of life; that whoever comes to Him will NEVER go hungry and that whoever believes in Him will NEVER be thirsty. Thank You for the sacrifice of His precious atoning blood for the remission of our sins, to purify us from all unrighteousness and to cleanse our consciences so that we can serve You, the one and only living God! Thank You for sending Him to heal our broken hearts, to bind up our wounds and to set the captives free. And since Satan comes only to steal, kill and destroy, we thank You that Jesus came to give us eternal life, and life more abundant. And thank You for giving us the keys of the kingdom of heaven and the assurance that what we bind on earth is bound in heaven and what we loose on earth is loosed in heaven.

So in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, we bind the power and conviction of Your word and the Holy Spirit to everyone reading this prayer, as well as to our friends, family and loved ones. And we send forth the sword of Your word to cut away anything ungodly or displeasing in our lives, and thank You for the power of the Holy Spirit to deliver and protect us from all harm and evil and to draw each of us into right relationship with You. And we loose your mighty power to destroy all strongholds and all manner of sin or bondage now operating in our lives. Thank You for turning stony hearts into hearts of flesh and for turning the hearts of broken relationships to healing and restoration. Thank you for defending and protecting the covenant of our marriages, Lord, and for blessing troubled marriages with restoration and reconciliation. Thank you that no weapon fashioned against us will prosper, and that the gates of hell cannot prevail against us, because the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. So we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

May our work always be produced by faith, our labor prompted by love, and our endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless us with the wisdom, grace and strength needed to live our lives so others always see You in us. May we be yielded vessels, living in faith and obedience for Your praise, honor and glory. And teach us to walk humbly as we seek peace and forgive others as You forgive us. Bless us with good health, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Thank You for loving us so unconditionally, Lord, and for Your infinite mercy and grace! In the most precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray and give thanks! Amen.

To anyone who has not already made Jesus the Lord of your life, who might feel the Holy Spirit prompting you to do so right now, please say the following prayer:

Dear Lord, I know I’m a sinner and that the wages for my sin is death. But I also know that Jesus came to set me free from that death penalty by dying on the cross for the forgiveness of my sins. And then He rose again three days later and is with You in heaven right now. Jesus please come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. Cleanse me of all unrighteousness and forgive me of all of my sins, because from now on I’m Yours…I’m a Christian. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

If you just prayed that prayer and meant it in your heart, you are now a “born again Christian” and it’s the best move you’ll ever make! But you need to tell someone about the decision you made, because Jesus said if we deny Him before men, He will deny us before His Father. So you can call me at 850-391-4073 or contact any of the WIN prayer warriors to help and encourage you as you begin the most awesome experience of your life! And welcome to the family and may the Lord bless and keep you and yours.

In His Love, Linda Wattu
