Quote by Oswald Chambers: “Prayer doesn’t equip us for greater works; Prayer is the greater work!”
1. Ask God to forgive all your sins and offenses and everything you know does not please Him. Forgive those who have hurt you and offended you and ask the Holy Spirit to help you overcome the offenses and the abuse.
2. Begin prayer time by first binding and loosing. Use your spiritual keys of binding and loosing. Bind all anxiety, worry, stress, doubt, unbelief, impatience, fear, etc. Loose God’s Peace, Love, Strength, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding. Declare that you have a sound mind; that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
3. Enter into God’s presence with Thanksgiving. Thank Him for everything you can think of.
4. Praise Him. Sing a Psalm or a song.
5. Declare “I am your daughter/son, a daughter/son of Royalty. I thank you Father for this privilege. I declare that you are the only True Living God – the Most High God! Today I reverence you and acknowledge that without you I cannot make it. I need you. I love you. You are worthy to be exalted, worshipped, and adored. I magnify you Father. I declare that Jesus, your only begotten Son, is the Savior, is Lord, is King, and He is coming soon. I declare that the resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in me and has set me free from darkness, iniquities, death, sickness and disease. I believe that Christ sits on the throne interceding for me and my family and all of God’s children. I declare that the Blood of Jesus cleanses me and protects me. I apply the Blood of Jesus to my thoughts, my heart, and my body.
I acknowledge you Holy Spirit, as my guide, my teacher, my friend, my advocate, my defender, and my support. This day, I declare that nothing is impossible for you my God and Father. I declare that all things concerning me are in your hands and in your time frame.
Thank you for wisdom, energy, vitality, discernment, resources, divine health, a smile, joy, comprehension, listening and communication skills, compassion, mercy, a kind word, a strong word, a challenging word, for all those who come to me for counsel.
Place a muzzle in my mouth – not to say anything outside of your wisdom. Open my mouth with your wisdom and understanding and discernment, so that the person I counsel will be set free, transformed and enlightened and directed towards freedom and victory “in Christ.”
(Continue praying stating your petitions, needs, wants. Be specific. Don’t just quote and ramble repetitious, habitual, memorized prayers. Don’t pray bread-only prayers: such as for shelter, job, car, and food. God knows you need these things and He has promised to provide them.
Pray for kindness, mercy, creative ideas, power to destroy strongholds, power to pray for the sick and see them healed. Pray for boldness to speak God’s Word and put it into action. Pray for a sound mind. Pray for ability to make good investments and have understanding of God’s Word. Pray fervently and with passion to invade and destroy the darkness in the life of a loved one. Pray for wisdom to make wise decisions. Pray that God will enlarge your tent (everything that concerns you). Pray to break the bondage of poverty. Pray to release yourself from curses and negative family attachments. Pray for others. Etc.
Your powerful prayers will break yokes (bad habits, oppression, burdens, bondage, repression, addictions, etc.)
My Counsel:
Don’t limit God. Don’t put Him in a box. Don’t ask Him for a little bit. Ask Him for a lot – for big things. Nothing is impossible for Him. Take responsibility. Be Obedient to God’s Word. Do not slouch. Fill your heart with good things and out of your mouth will come good things, good words, sound counsel, good ideas. What you put in will come out.
What you sow, you will reap. You will never have abundance, unless you are sowing, all the time! The more you give, the more you will have. If you have little, check your giving habits. Sow into good ground. Give to the poor, to missions, to the needy. Give your tithe to the storehouse (where you get fed spiritually). Start with the little you may have and keep increasing. It’s a law – the law of sowing and reaping. Like the law of gravity, when it is set into motion, there is no stopping it. Never underestimate God.
The Holy Spirit is always watching and listening attentively to see how he can help you and respond to your needs. But He is only motivated and challenged by God’s Word and obedience in you. The moment you declare God’s Word, as you walk in obedience, the Holy Spirit, acts upon that word to perform it!
Stop being a Victim: If you have been hurt by someone and are still carrying the pain and hurt, it is time to put a stop to it. As long as you insist on dwelling and feeling the pain of abuse, hurt, divorce, trauma, negative words, an unkind parent, etc., you will never feel peace and victory in your life. You must release that thing – it is like a cancer that keeps eating away. Forgive the person or persons who hurt you. Release yourself and break the curse of bondage over your life. Set into motion God’s blessings! Loose yourself today! I was there years ago, but today I am free. It took a specific decision on my part. Once I said, I forgive you dad, I was free. The chains came off. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get over it! The best of your life is ahead of you. Your children or your future children will inherit your freedom and not the curses of abuse. Praise God!

Healing Prayer (immune system deficiency – tiredness – joint pains):
In the name of Jesus, I command all 125 trillion cells, along with all the T-cells in my body to align up electrically, magnetically, and chemically to the perfect DNA and RNA that God created. I curse any prions in this body. (Prions attack protein in body). I command all the bad cells to be dissolved and discarded in Jesus name. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen!
(Pray this in the morning and before bedtime).
