We stand with you in prayer, rebuking every plan of the devil in your family's life. Let's bring your requests before the Lord, aligning our hearts with His will and His Word.
Firstly, we need to correct the lack of specificity and authority in praying without mention the name of Jesus. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 says, "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" If we are to be saved by Jesus Christ, we must do everything in His name. Jesus did not die on the cross so that we could pray without his authority or ignore Him.
The Bible tells us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, Ephesians 6:12. Therefore, we must be aware of the devil's schemes to destroy our families and pray in Jesus name to cancel the devil's plans.
Jesus said, Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you. Luke 10:19. We have authority over the enemy in Jesus' name, so let's exercise that right. We are reminded in 1 John 1:7 to keep walking in the light. The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. We can claim the blood of Jesus over our families, protecting and covering us from the enemy's attacks.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for the power of His blood that covers and protects our families and the authority we have in His name. We ask You to cancel every plan of the devil in our families' lives and rebuke any efforts of the enemy to harm us in any way.
Father, we claim the blood of Jesus over our families, creating a hedge of protection around us. We ask for a new miracle in our lives, trusting that You are the God of the impossible. Let Your peace rule in our families, as we surrender our hearts and lives to You.
Help us to know Jesus and believe in His name. Help us to know that he died for us. Help us to know that we are saved by believing in Jesus. Help us to know that we are to have no other gods before Jesus. Help us to know that believing in Jesus is the only way to have eternal life. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16.
For those in the family that do not know Jesus or do not believe in Jesus, we pray that they will come to know Jesus and believe in Him. We pray that they will know the saving blood of Jesus and be saved.
We ask this in the powerful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is faithful to His promises. Keep praying and trusting in the Lord, and remember that He is always working things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. Don't forget to walk in the light and have fellowship with one another as you live out your faith in Jesus' name.
