We are glad to stand with you in prayer, Megan, as you seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit and deliverance from intrusive negative thinking. Firstly, let us address your request for a further affirmation of the Holy Spirit.
It is wonderful to note that Jesus Christ is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. As it is written in Matthew 3:11, "I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire." This indicates a deeper work of the Spirit in our lives, empowering us for service and witness. Jesus further promises this in Luke 11:13, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"
Let us pray together.
Father, now we lift up Megan Watson before your throne of grace. We ask that you would baptize her with the Holy Spirit, filling her anew with your power and presence. May she be clothed with power from on high, just as you promised in your Word.
We also pray for Megan's deliverance from intrusive negative thinking. We know that your Word tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:5, "bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." We understand that this is a spiritual battle, and we have the authority in Jesus' name to cast down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
We pray Psalm 51:10 over Megan's life, "Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me." We ask Father that you would renew her mind according to Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
Father, we come against any spirits of negativity, fear, anxiety, or confusion that may be influencing Megan's thoughts. In Jesus' name, we command them to leave and be cast away from her. We pray a hedge of protection around her mind, that only those thoughts that align with your Word and will would be able to enter and work to transform her life.
We pray for inner strength for her and that We pray that she will be filled with your peace, which passes all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Father, fill her with your joy, and give her patience in enduring these trials of life.
We put our trust in you, knowing that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. We ask all these things in Jesus' name and for his sake. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you, Megan, to continue in the Word, allowing your mind to be actively transformed. Do not forget to meditate and confess God's Word over your life daily.
