Hello John and Doves,

Some years ago I found the below prayer (author unknown) and embellished it somewhat. I use it in my daily “Prime Time” with the Lord. Today as I was praying it, the Holy Spirit encouraged me to share it with the Doves. In obedience to Him, I present it here.

Maranatha!

YBIC, Wayne
 
 

Prayer according to Matthew 16:19 and Matt 18:18

Lord, I am standing on the truth of your Word. You said you would give me the keys of the kingdom, that whatever I would bind on earth would be bound in heaven and whatever I would loose on earth would be loosed in heaven. (Matt 16:19, 18:18)

Right now, in the name of Jesus Christ, I bind my will to the will of God, that I will be constantly aware of His purposes for my life. I bind myself to the truth of God, that I will not be deceived by the many subtle deceptions of the world and the devil. I bind myself to the blood of Jesus that I will never take it for granted. I want to be constantly aware of the miracle-working power of His Blood to restore and heal and keep me safe.

I bind myself to the mind of Christ that I will be aware of how Jesus would have me to think in every situation I come into this day. I do not want to react out of my own human, carnal thoughts when situations arise suddenly; I want to act and think, as Jesus would have me act and think. I bind my feet to the paths of righteousness that my steps will be steady and true all day long.

I bind myself to the work of the cross in my life so that I will continue to die daily to my own selfish desires and motivations and be more like Him.

I bind the strongman so that I may spoil his household and take back every bit of joy, peace, blessing, freedom and every material and spiritual possession he has stolen from me. I take them back right now!!!!!!!!!!! Satan, I loose your influence over every part of my body, soul and spirit! I loose, crush, destroy, and smash every evil device you may bring into my sphere of influence during this day.

Lord, I repent of every wrong desire, attitude, and pattern of thinking that I have ever had.

Forgive me, Lord, for holding on to wrong ideas, desires, behaviors and habits. I renounce and reject these things. In the name of Jesus Christ, I loose, destroy, crush, and break every wrong attitude, pattern of thinking, belief, idea, desire, behavior and habit that I have ever learned. I loose the strongholds around them that would keep me from being completely surrendered to the will of God for my life. I loose all doubt and confusion from myself.
 
I have bound myself to the mind of Christ and I loose every wrong thought and evil imagination that would keep me from being in sweet union with Him.

I bind and loose these things in the name of Jesus Christ, who has given me the authority to do so.

Now all praise and honor and glory be to God the Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen and amen!!! So be it!!!
