Prayer To Break the Power Of The Devil Over Loved Ones and Claim Their Salvation To Jesus Christ

Prayer To Break the Power Of The Devil Over Loved Ones and Claim Their Salvation To Jesus Christ

By |

Nobody is too far away from God. Jesus is praying for them all the time and we must also. We must come into agreement with Jesus’ intercession for our loved ones. Never say they are completely lost. Continue to pray for their salvation. 

Scripture Reference

Hebrews 7:25 (New King James Version)
“Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

Pray Out Loud

  • “Father, in the name of Jesus Christ and by the authority of Jesus Christ in whom I am seated, I break the power of the devil over my loved one, _______, and I claim their salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Right now, by Christ’s authority, I command every dam of the devil, every dam that the devil has built in my loved one, _______, to be broken down right now in them and the rivers of living water to pour through them with great, mighty, rushing, power, in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ! Thank you, Father God! Amen.”
Prayer For Athletes

Prayer For Athletes

By |

When we pray for athletes, we need to look at them the way Paul spoke about it in God’s word. We are to run this race strong. Remember that Paul spent a lot of time in Greece where the Olympics were. There were a lot of sports and competitions there. It was a big thing in Greece, so Paul used that in his teaching a lot as metaphors and to help us understand how the kingdom of God works.

I believe very strongly that the reason God raises someone up on sports is because He wants to use their spotlight. In other words, if God gives someone a talent for sports, it’s for His glory. This goes back to what Paul said that we are to run our race strong, and throw off all encumberments – anything that weighs us down – so that we can be victorious in our purpose for the Lord. 

If you have a child or other loved one who is especially talented in sports, pray the following prayer over them so that they will use their gifts and talents for the kingdom of God and be victorious in their purpose for the Lord, all for the glory of God.

Scripture Reference

Hebrews 12:1 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)

“Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us …”

Pray Out Loud

  • “Father God, I ask You to anoint _______, that they would play (name of sport) in such a way that the world has never seen before, all for Your glory. Help them to use the talent for (name of sport) that You have put in them, Lord, and raise them up to be the best at what they do in (name of sport) like the world has never seen before, all for Your glory and Your kingdom. 


  • Father God, I ask for you to remove anything right now that’s weighing them down, holding them back, or encumbering them from being the best at this for Your glory, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I ask You to pour a fresh anointing of Your Holy Spirit on them to play (name of sport) and use it for Your glory and to shine Jesus when they do this. 


  • I ask for You to continue to bless them and raise them up, not just in talent and victories, Father God, but in the anointing of the Holy Spirit that flows to them. I ask you to raise them up like you have so many other athletes to be quarterbacks, pitchers, runners in the Olympics, and jockeys on racehorses, and You have given them the victory and the spotlight so that they can give You glory and point to Jesus Christ. 


  • I ask you to do the same thing for, _______, all through the power of Your Holy Spirit working through _______ and every athlete that You have called because it gives You pleasure, Father God. It gives You pleasure to see them using their gifts for Your glory just like in the movie, Chariots of Fire – the Olympic runner in the 1920s who wanted to serve You, Father God. He thought in order to serve You, He had to be a missionary to China, but You made him fast, and He said these words, “God made me fast because it gives Him pleasure!” He pointed to Jesus Christ and to You, Father God, all through the Olympics, and he won the gold medal. Why? Because He pointed to You, God. 


  • I ask You to do the same thing for _______, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Father God, You say that the competition is irrelevant. It’s not about the competition; it’s about the anointing that is upon _______, and _______ doesn’t even think about the competition. He/she is (running, playing ball, etc.) because it pleases You, Father God. He/she is being a team leader because it pleases God and because of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, so the competition is irrelevant. 

 

  • I invite You, Holy Spirit, to go to _______ and reveal this to him/her and train him/her up in this. Put a right spirit within him/her so he/she doesn’t look at the competition. It’ll be irrelevant to him/her now. His/Her focus will just be on what he/she is doing to please the Lord by using his/her gifts, and I ask You to give him/her a fresh anointing and remove any distractions and anything in his/her life that would try to come against this. Give his/her parents, grandparents, teammates, and coaches wisdom, all for the kingdom and glory of God. God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of glory, please give me, my loved one, _______, and those around _______ the spirit of wisdom and understanding in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, the hope of His calling and His glory, in Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.”
Prayer To Awaken Loved Ones To The Truth And Understanding

Prayer To Awaken Loved Ones To The Truth And Understanding

By |

The Prayer that Paul spoke in Ephesians 1:15-23 is a very powerful prayer that you can pray over your loved ones who are prodigal or totally, completely asleep to the truth to cause them to wake up to the truth! Also, declare the following words over any past prayers that you’ve prayed that are possibly being delayed over your loved ones, and you can pray and declare this over the people in a city, state, or nation that you are interceding for. 

When you pray the Word of God over someone, you are literally prophesying the Word over them, and that’s a very powerful thing to do. The Word of God is the will of God!

When those you are interceding for finally come into the understanding of Jesus Christ and the knowledge of Him, they shall have understanding of all truth, which means truth that you have been trying to show them — because Jesus Christ IS Truth. With this prayer, it’s JESUS that shows them the PURE TRUTH. They’ll begin to see the truth of everything! They’ll begin to see the truth about themselves, and their family! The veils will be lifted off their eyes and they will be given eyes of understanding. If they’re prodigal, they’ll see the truth about themselves, their relationships, and any influences, and their TRUE identity in Christ Jesus will be revealed to their hearts and minds.  

You can even add this prayer to the Daily Suit Up Prayer! We also encourage you to pray the Prayer To Send the Holy Spirit To Loved Ones. These are both available on our prayer list and are powerful prayers to add together. Heaven goes into activation for you immediately for them! 

It can be a process as the Holy Spirit points them to truth and Jesus, so keep praying these prayers in faith until you see breakthrough! Remember, the Holy Spirit can do more in one day in speaking to your loved one than you can do in years of trying to tell them!  HE does all the heavy lifting. Our job is to love our loved ones through this process and go to our prayer closets to continue to intercede for them in a faith partnership with the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.   

THEIR EYES WILL OPEN TO SEE THE TRUTH, RECEIVE THE TRUTH, UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH, LOVE THE TRUTH, AND WALK IN THE TRUTH THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!

Scripture References

Ephesians 1:15-23, KJV: Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

Ephesians 1:15-23 (Amplified Bible)
15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers; 17 [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), 19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength 20 which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].

Pray Out Loud

  • “Father, I do not cease to give thanks for my loved ones, _______. In the name of Jesus Christ, I take Your word in Ephesians 1:17-19 and ask You, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of Glory, to please give every one of my loved ones who do not see the truth, who are asleep and walking in deception, _______, the spirit of wisdom and revelation, who is the Holy Spirit, in the knowledge of Him, Jesus Christ, who is all truth, and remove any scales off of their eyes that the eyes of _______’s understanding would be enlightened right now. Lift any veils off of their eyes of understanding, drop any scales off of their eyes, circumcise their hearts, and also enlighten the eyes of their hearts with light by the Holy Spirit so that _______ may know the hope of His calling, Jesus Christ, who is truth, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. _______ will know who they are in Christ Jesus. They will know who they belong to. They will know their goodly and godly inheritance in You, Father God. _______ will know the truth, receive the truth, walk in the truth, speak the truth, share the truth, and live the truth all the days of their lives all for the kingdom and glory of God, in Jesus Christ’s name.”

You can keep going with Ephesians 1:19-21:

  • “Father God, I ask You to add to  my loved ones, _______, what is the exceeding greatness of His power for us who believe, that they would believe and see the exceeding greatness of Jesus Christ’s power according to the working of His mighty power which is working in Christ Jesus when He raised Him from the dead (by the dunamis power of the Holy Ghost) and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come, in Jesus Christ’s name. Thank You, Father God! Amen and amen.” 

Note: So you are asking for the dunamis resurrection power of the Holy Ghost to come and hit them, to go to them and awaken them (to Jesus Christ) out of their stupor, to awaken them from the dead — out of their sleep. You’re asking this through the authority of Jesus Christ that can go through any principality, any demon, or anything like that. 

If you have loved ones who are under heavy deception, who believe everything on the fake news, or who have been programmed by the demonic education system, etc., those are principalities that have had demonic dominion — the powers of the air — so you can pray and decree this passage of scripture over them. It will activate the dunamis resurrection power of the Holy Ghost to go out on your behalf and go through any powers and principalities, such as mind control or anything that’s been operating around them, and slice right through it, by the authority of Jesus Christ, and get to that loved one!
