Additional Suggestions:

It is difficult to give a “model” prayer because it is so personal and there are so many variables in the lives of all of us.  However, the following are sample prayers to give some insight that you may use with the blessing and leading of the Holy Spirit, according to your personal needs:  

“Heavenly Father, I come to you with honor, love and respect for you as the sovereign God of all mankind.  I trust and believe in you, in Jesus and in the Holy Spirit, knowing you love us more than I can possibly comprehend.  According to your will expressed through your son, I come to you, asking that you would send Angels to protect my home and my family.  That they would do spiritual warfare on our behalf, minister and strengthen.  I ask that you rebuke the devil and his plans on our behalf.  I ask forgiveness for our sins and help us to quickly forgive the sins of others.  I pray the blood of Jesus over all my family for cleansing, healing and deliverance from evil.  I thank You, I praise and love You, in Jesus Name, Amen!”

That is a very generic prayer that needs to have specific needs outlined such as protection in the work place, in school, on the highway, in a plane, train or bus, shopping, church, etc.

Confronting the enemy:

“With the authority given me in Luke 10:19, I speak to you demons, evil ones.  I forbid any spirits of anger, resentment, murder, suicide or death—any violence of any kind to come near me or my family.  We are covered with the blood of Jesus and the destroyer may not harm us.  I break every assignment on us and command it to be of no effect because of the blood of Jesus and the Word that says Jesus has overcome the world.  I demand the will of God be done in our lives as it is in heaven.  I speak this in Jesus Name!”

Many times I also tell him, the devil, the demons that the Grace of God is greater than any of our sins, that Jesus paid the price for us, and he will not kill, steal or destroy my family, or whomever..

On Sunday, November 21, 1999 in “The Back Page” of the North County Times, San Diego, California articles on the following appeared:

  • Girl, 13, dies after school shooting

  • School fight leads to boy’s death

  • Mexico bus wreck kills 7

  • Pakistan bomb kills 5

  • Cops: 2 dead in murder-suicide

  • LAPD officer kills charging man

  • Man sentenced for needle attack

  • Mom:  I didn’t give drugs to 9-year-old

  • Tanzania kills 34 ‘witches’

That’s just one day, one page of news, not even the front page.  Do we need help or what?

Many Christians pray for protection—many in a very generic way.  Experience has proven the more specific the prayer the more powerful the results.   Ahhhh, but doesn’t God know our prayers before we ask them?  Yes, Matthew 6:8 confirms that.  However, Paul tells us in Ephesians 3:10 that we in the church are to reveal the wisdom of God unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places.  And, Jesus tells us if we have faith and doubt not we can “say” unto the mountain,  be thou removed, and cast into the sea and it will be done.  Speaking to our situations, with faith, in the Name of Jesus, with the “Word” of God, (as often as possible),  according to the will of God will move mountains, what ever they may be.

There are many promises in the Bible, (such as Luke 10:19) and it has been my experience that none are automatic.  We need to pray for them, believe Jesus to be the Son of God, and receive them.  A strong personal relationship with Jesus is “boot camp” for the soldier in the army of God.  However, the newest “believer” can say “no” to the devil with authority and power.

The Grace and Mercy of God are so awesome we can declare those wonders to the enemy as a frontal attack against his efforts, a bazooka so to speak.  It is impossible to think of everything or cover everything that can happen,  but we can always trust the Lord for things we do pray, and know that He will see us through a situation or bring us out of it.  It is our urgent prayer that we continue to learn, grow in faith, and say "no" to the enemy.
