Heavenly father, Thank you for creating me and putting me on this earth here and now. Thank you for putting me into fellowship with this person in need. I am moved into action by compassion, just as Jesus was moved by compassion for all he healed.  Lord, you told us in Psalms 18:21 death and life are in the power of the tongue so I will speak this prayer out loud and with conviction. 

Lord, you put Adam in the garden and handed him the keys to your earthly creation, he turned around and handed them to the devil when he chose to listen to his lies and put his self-interests first rather than follow Your simple instructions. Sin changed Adam, it tarnished your image in him and separated him from You. Your entire creation now suffers mightily as a result of generations of sin and separation from the Father.  Self-consciousness now dominates our emotions and self-serving interests now dominate our behaviors and our entire world suffers as a result. 

Jesus, thank you for coming here and creating a path out of this mess. You bore the consequences of sin on your back and allowed your body to be broken on the cross.  You took sin to the grave as an innocent sacrifice so that we can have life through you. Your resurrection overcame the power of death, and you took back the keys to the kingdom. When I truly repent of my sins and choose to follow you, my sins are forgiven, your blood washes my away my sinful past and my sinful nature; Your blood redeems me from this fallen world, restores your image in me, and puts me back in perfect harmony with the Father; What we lost through Adam, has been restored through you. I am now holy and pure in the Fathers eyes, not by anything I have done, but by my faith in You and Your work here 2000 years ago; I am made righteous through Your precious blood; By your blood and resurrection we are saved; and by your stripes we are healed.

My confession and commitment:

Jesus, You love us so much You chose to come here as a human, live a sinless life and gave that life to restore what was lost through sin. I commit to live my life in a way that is worthy of the price you paid for it. I acknowledge my sins and turn from them to follow you. I humbly accept and receive your gracious gift of forgiveness and salvation. As you forgive me, I forgive those who have sinned against me. Your blood has washed away my sinful past and rejoined me with My Father in heaven. I am born again; my past is washed away by your blood; I can now focus on moving forward and becoming the best version of my-self. We are at our best when we become love in action; Your love is perfected when it flows through us to others. My self-conscious emotions and self-centered agendas only get in the way of this flow. I invite the Holy Spirit to live in me, to help me identify these obstacles, and to help me root them out.  I “crucify” my old earthly oriented self-centered agendas and I move my focus to You and Your heavenly kingdom: Loving You with all my heart, loving Your children, and finding more and more ways to let Your love flow through me to them.   

I hereby present myself as a vessel for your use; Arms and Legs to do your work on this earth. I am a member of the body of Christ, an adopted child of God, and the Holy Spirit lives inside me. With Your help, I will continue to renew my mind and glorify you through my life. I will share your story, I will walk as you walked, and I will continue your work on this earth; As the father sent you, you send me; The works you did I will do and more.  I am a believer, and in your name, I will cast out demons, lay hands on the sick and through the power of the holy spirit, the sick will recover. You came here as the light of the world, and now it is my job to pick up the torch and become a bright beacon for your kingdom. I have the Holy Spirit guiding me and teaching me; and I have resurrection power living inside and working through me.  I thank you for all you have done, and I accept your commission to continue your work here on earth and bring glory to the Fathe rthrough your name.

Execution in Faith:

I believe Ephesians 6 when You tell us we struggle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities. Illness and addiction is not from God, it is from the devil, it is a consequence of this fallen world. and is stealing life and prosperity from His precious children.

I believe it is God’s will to rescue all from sin and heal all who are afflicted. Jesus, you came here as the expressed image of the invisible God; if we know You, we know the Father.  You did only the Fathers will. You were moved by compassion and healed all who came to you. You never imposed illness on anyone or left anyone oppressed. Jesus, you healed all while you were here, and after Your resurrection, You released the Holy Spirit to us so we can pick up where you left off.

Jesus, you did your amazing work 2000 years ago and are now sitting at the right hand of the Father waiting for the devil to be made your footstool. You have handed the ball to us to continue your work destroying the works of the devil.  I will not stand by and let the devil continue to torment another one of Your children. I believe Ephesians 2:6 when it says The Father has raised us up to heavenly places with Jesus. So, I am speaking to this situation from heaven seated right next to Jesus. As a believer with authority under Luke 10:19, I hereby rebuke the spirits of cancer, pain and infirmity. I rebuke all evil and unclean spirits who have invaded this person. I rebuke all evil spirits in heavenly places who are involved as well; I cancel all of your assignments and command you to leave. Cease and desist! NOW! in Jesus name, the name above all names, the name before which all must kneel.

As a member of the body of Christ, the Holy Spirit lives inside me. I believe Romans 8:11 when it says the power that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside each of us and will heal our mortal flesh.  I believe Mark 16:17 when it says believers will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. I am a believer and I hereby speak healing now; From the top of thier head to the soles of thier feet; In Jesus name! Just as His blood washes away our sinful nature, His broken body takes away the consequence of sin, the damage and distress in our mind and body. I believe 2 Peter 2:22 when it says by His stripes we are healed.  I hereby command healing to flow into Every muscle, Every bone, Every organ, Every tissue, Every fiber, Every neuron, and Every cell. In Jesus Name! We are born again;  All things old pass away, all things are new again.  I command their mind and body to be restored to perfect function, heart to beat as new, mind will be clear and focused on a future partnered with Jesus. Holy Spirit, I ask you to flow your love and truth into this precious child of God.  Help them feel God’s love, Help them understand His son came here and gave His life for them. Help them know you are ready, willing, and able to help once we ask with a humble heart and belive. Help them have eyes see the path out of distress. Help them have ears to hear Your truth, the truth that You have already defeated this enemy and through You we can overcome anything. Help their heart have the courage to follow your path and give them the strength to see it through. Let this be done as a sign of the kingdom, so they can serve you, bear fruit, and others can see Your glory in action.  I ask this in Jesus Name!  I believe in your promises and the truth of your scripture.  I speak in faith, believing and expecting the rescue and healing you promise and paid such a high price for.

Lord, “You are my shepherd”, I put my life in your capable hands. You are “the way, the truth, and the light”.  Shine your light and your life into me and this friend; Continue to push away the darkness in our minds and bodies. Help us all see things from your perspective and hear your words to guide our thinking and our steps. You are “my rock, my fortress, my deliverer”; Protect us; give us strength and comfort knowing you are with us. Help us continue to grow in faith. Help us find more and more ways to show others the power of your love and truth. Help us glorify you through our lives as a beacon to others.

I thank you again for all you have done for me. I thank you for all you are already doing for my friend. I ask for your continued help today, in Jesus holy name. AMEN.
