PRAYER OF PROTECTION
BY DR. PRESTON BAILEY
Oh heavenly and holy Father (Matthew 6:9), we look to you as the Almighty one (Genesis 17:1). We boldly come before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16) claiming our position in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:20-21). By faith I pull down every stronghold (2 Corinthians 10:4) I have yielded unto Satan and claim by faith it is null and void and covered under the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:11). Thank you for forgiving me of my sins (Matthew 6:14) when Christ died on the cross and I thank you that you have cleansed me of all my sins (1 John 1:9).
I claim by faith that all that I am outside of Christ was nailed to the cross (Galatians 2:20). I reckon self, sin, Satan, the law, and the world to be nailed to the cross (Luke 9:23; Galatians 5:24). By faith, I claim the resurrected and ascended life of Christ living in me and through me (2 Corinthians 4:11).
By faith, I put on the helmet of salvation (Ephesians 6:17), the breastplate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14), my loins gird about with truth, my feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15), the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one, and the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:16).
I submit myself under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ (James 4:6-7; 1 Peter 5:6-9) and I bind all demonic forces by the blood of Jesus Christ that are trying to hinder me (Matthew 16:19) from obeying the will of God today in the north, south, east, and west (Revelation 7:1). I claim by faith that I am surrounded by a hedge of protection (Hosea 2:6), a wall of fire (Zechariah 2:5), and a huge wall of faith all covered under the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I bind all demonic forces by the blood of the Lamb and pray that Christ would send holy angels to stop any evil assignment against me (Hebrews 1:14). By faith I release the working of the power of the resurrected Lord (Romans 6:4) and the energizing power of the Holy Spirit in my life (Ephesians 5:18). By faith I claim that this has already been bound in heaven (Matthew 18:18) and thank you that you will guide me into the center of your will (John 16:13) and show me the works you have planned for me today.
I pray that you will cause confusion in the camp of all mine enemies (Psalm 35:4, 26) so that I may have victory over them. Thank you in advance for victory over ever trial this day (1 Corinthians 15:57). Send your messengers that I need to accomplish your will this day (Luke 6:38). Give me the knowledge and wisdom to know and do your will (Ephesians 1:17-19). Fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit and give me the fruit of the Spirit I need today to accomplish your will (Galatians 5:22-23). Surround me with your holy angels to strengthen me and protect me from any evil force that may come against me (Psalm 34:7). Thank you for your presence and power that will empower and guide me this day (Hebrews 13:5). In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN (John 14:13-14).
