DAY 8 OF 40 DAYS. Prayer for God’s Divine Covering and Protection of Acholi People.
30). Acholi People to Actively Stand up Against the Plans of the Enemy!
Heavenly Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we come to you today to be restored in you, to be renewed in you, to receive your love and life, and to take refuge in you. We surrender every aspect of our lives totally and completely to you. We give you our bodies, soul, and spirit; our heart, mind, and will. We claim the covering, cleansing, and protection of the blood of Jesus, and the victory of the cross over every aspect of the lives of all the Acholi people. We ask to be renewed by your Holy Spirit, by filling us afresh.
We pray to bring the kingdom of God and the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ over our homes, our families, our work, and our possessions all through the hours of this new day. We bring the full work of the Lord Jesus Christ throughout our homes – the atmosphere in every room, over every object and furnishing, all media, and the very structure of our homes. And in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, we bring the full work of His cross, resurrection, ascension, and present reign between us (myself, my spouse, and my loved ones) and any dark powers aligned against us!
Heavenly Father, we release your judgment, in the name of Jesus Christ, upon every foul power and black art. We bring the cross and the blood of Christ, his resurrection and life, his authority, rule, and dominion against every hex, vex, and incantation against the Acholi; against every spell, all rituals, and all ritual devices, all satanic rituals, and satanic ritual devices; against every vow, dedication, and sacrifice; against every word, every judgment, and every curse sent against us. We bind them and send them all to the feet of Jesus – never to return. In Jesus name!
We now call upon you for authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and the fullness of his work, the cross, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ against every foul and unclean spirit – every ruler, power, authority, and spiritual force of wickedness set against us (Ephesians 6:12). We command all foul and unclean spirits, together with their underlings, back-ups, and replacements, bound from our home, property, and household and we send them to the feet of Jesus – never to return. In Jesus name! We now announce the kingdom of God over our homes, our families and our domains, this day! We summon the angels of the Lord Jesus Christ and ask them to build a shield of protection around us, my family, and my home (Hebrews 1:14). We invite you, blessed Holy Spirit, to fill our lives and our homes with your presence, peace, and joy. All this I pray in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to his glory, amen!
