A Great Fasting Prayer
The following prayer from Sharon Kornegay of WIN focuses on fasting as many associated with the World Intercessory Network are participating in a corporate fast today and tomorrow. And since it’s an excellent prayer when we’re fasting, which I often get questions about, I know visitors to our site will appreciate it as well. So I’ve included links to the Bible verse references to make them easier to read, which I recommend doing, especially the first five, which are biblical references to fasting. And the prayer can be changed as needed to personalize it to focus more on your specific situations and prayer needs.
Luke 2:37
Daniel 9:3
Matthew 6:16
Isaiah 58
Esther
Lord, I lift up the ones who do not yet realize the love that You had for us. I pray today that there souls will be saved.
We were once sinners. But one day, we had to yield to the power of the anointed one and his anointing.
I pray today that the Holy Spirit will minister grace and touch the hearts of those who are stiff-necked and stubborn, helping them to heed to the voice of Your calling. I pray today that they will begin to earnestly search for You with all of their heart. I pray that their soul will begin to thirst for You and that their whole bodies will yield to You.
In Jesus’ name, the devil is bound. He is not lord over us and we refuse to give in to his tactics, schemes, or tricks.
Jesus is Lord. He is Lord of all. King of all Kings. The only true and living God.
We command satan to loose the chains off of the people. The blood of Jesus is delivering them right now from the hands of satan. I put a halt to all distractive, disturbing, and destructive measures against them and us.
The Son of God made manifest, that He would destroy the works of the enemy (1 John 3:8; John 2:15-17; Acts 16:16-19).
We lift up our hands to You oh Lord. We think of You today. We meditate about You throughout the night (Psalm 63:6).
Lord, we know that there are many issues in our lives that may seek to overwhelm us. Yet, we trust in Your Word. Your Word is our Victory!
I thank You today that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against them in judgment is condemned.
We are not wimpy Christians. We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon us. The spirit of wisdom, understanding, divine counsel, supernatural might, knowledge and of the utmost fear of Jehovah. As we advance, we are divinely empowered and increase in skill and understanding (Isaiah 11:2-3; Colossians 1:9-11, 3:10; Ephesians 1:17-18).
God, I call unto You today. I ask that You stretch out Your mighty hand against every lie every tactic, every wicked device of satan and destroy it in the name of Jesus.
I boldly pray that You will be glorified in the atmosphere that we work in, live in, walk in, and worship in.
Father, expose everything that satan does and give us resisting power. Knowing that the battle has already been fought and won. We must resist him through the authority of the name of Jesus. Jesus’ blood has sealed us until the day of redemption.
Every feeling of heaviness, defeat, oppression, and depression is cast upon the Lord. His name is a strong tower. We shall not be moved.
We declare today as the day of victory!
I thank You Father that the anointing destroys every yoke. Every chain and fetter, every bondage, every captivity, every assignment, every allegiance, every soul tie is severed in the name of Jesus. I speak to every high thing that would exalt itself against the knowledge of God and against me. I command it to cease right now in the name of Jesus.
I am in blood covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ and am free to serve and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. The devil will not make me uneasy or uncomfortable.
My name is written in the palm of God’s hand and I declare that my prayer and time with the Lord and my commitment to serve the Most High God shields me. I realize that the supernatural world is more real than what my eyes behold. Yet, God hasn’t given to me the spirit of fear. I am protected by the Anointed One and His anointing. Fire walls, smoke screens, and a bloodline form hedges of protection around me and hide me from the scourge of the enemy, familiar spirits, and all demonic personalities, making it difficult, if not impossible for them to effectively track or trace me in the realm of the spirit. There shall be no perforations or penetrations to these hedges of protection (Job 1:7-10; Psalm 91:1-16; Exodus 12:13; Zechariah 2:5).
Lord, I thank You that the name of the Lord is a strong tower. I shall not be moved by my circumstances. I am like a tree, planted by the rivers of water. The rivers will flow in my life today. They will flow freely, unhindered by anything. The blood of Jesus releases me to worship Him wholly and freely.
I thank You that every person who is receiving this prayer today will rise up and live. Call upon the name of the Lord to help in the time of troubles.
I thank You that every dry area of our lives are filled with the anointed one and His anointing. We are healed and saved from our enemies. Let the redeemed of the Lord begin to say so. Every loud and boisterous voice against us and wicked threat against us is destroyed in the name of Jesus. We overcome evil with good. We shout to the Lord with a voice of triumph. Blessed by the name of the Lord! Father, I shout out Hallelujah to the Most High God! You reign supreme! I thank You that we are like an olive tree, thriving in the House of the Lord. We trust in Your unfailing love forever and ever. We praise You forever. We wait for Your mercies in the presence of Your people. We sing for joy in the shadow of Your protecting wings. We follow close behind You; Your strong right hand holds us securely. Those plotting to destroy us will come to ruin. All those who trusts in You will praise You while liars will be silenced.
We will lift up our voices and declare Your glory! We will put on our praise and worship and have a party in You, celebrating the victory! This is our receiving day. We thank You that we will get answers this week. We will glorify Your mighty name and live in total victory! We will not be slaves in our homes or on our jobs or to others. We will only yield to Jesus. We will stand still and know that You are God.
In Jesus’ mighty name I pray.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
