Jesus
demonstrated the 40 day Prayer Strategy to tear down strongholds,
when he was driven into the wilderness to be tempted.
He responded to every mind set that the enemy offered him with,
"It is written .... ." Even though He was
sinless, He still had to choose to agree with God's truth
about him for 40 days in order to defeat all fragments of the
devil's mind sets!
We
need to "defrag" our minds (like computers)
from every fragment of old and current mental strongholds.
Programming in Truth will replace every "program" of
agreements with the lies that have been spoken over us.
When our obedience is complete, we will be able to take revenge
on the devil according to 2 Cor. 10:4-6 . Do you 10-4?
When
we are empty of strongholds, then we are finally able to be
truly filled with God's Holy Spirit and to be healed
people - healing people.
A
STRONGHOLD IS a mind set impregnated with hopelessness, which
causes us to accept as unchangeable, situations and beliefs that
we know are contrary to God's truth about us and all that
concerns us.

PRAYER
of commitment to pray for 40 days:
Father
God, I renounce the deceptions, lies and guilt that have
tormented me. In your
name, Lord, I strip away every stronghold or mindset in
my soul that blocks God's truth.
I choose to believe your Word and to submit to truth, in
balance, and with my whole heart.
I break agreement with all my ancestor's sins. I
release all my hurts to your healing and justice.
We will covenant together to take the Word of God, resist
lies and embrace truth, like Jesus did, for 40 days. We
will swing the Sword of the Spirit until we have victory in our
own lives and the beam is out of our own eye!
WE
WILL UNITE OUR PRAYERS to agree with God's truth rather than
our negative mindsets. We will persevere for our hope is in
God's Word to us, which will not fail. In the name of Jesus,
we loose ourselves from contending with the Word and bind
ourselves to God's will, way and timing.
Rom
12:2
2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able
to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and
perfect will.
2
Cor 10:4-5
4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself
up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought
to make it obedient to Christ.
Eph
6:11-12
11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your
stand against the devil's schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly realms.
Phil
1:9-11
9
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and
more in knowledge and depth of insight,
10
so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be
pure and blameless until the day of Christ,
11
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through
Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.
WE
UNITE OUR PRAYERS to loose ourselves from every form of
selfish independence and every strategy of the enemy to separate
us from others, from God and even from ourselves. We bind
ourselves to the unity of the Spirit of God in our homes, churches
and in our city. It is written in the Word of God:
Matt
18:18-20
18
I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be
bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in
heaven. 19
Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about
anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in
heaven. 20
For where two or three come together in my name, there am I
with them."
Ps
133:1
1
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in
unity!
Prov
3:5-7
5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding;
6
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your
paths straight.
7
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun
evil.
Prov
3: 13-18
13 Blessed
is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
14
for she is more profitable than silver and yields better
returns than gold.
15
She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can
compare with her.
16
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches
and honor.
17
Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
18
She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who
lay hold of her will be blessed.
Prov
6:16-19
16
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are
detestable to him:
17 haughty
eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to
rush into evil,
19 a
false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension
among brothers.
Prov
31:11-12,26-31
10
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth
far more than rubies.
11
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of
value.
12
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
26
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her
tongue.
27
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not
eat the bread of idleness.
28
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also,
and he praises her:
29
Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
30 Charm
is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the
LORD is to be praised.
31
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring
her praise at the city gate.
Eph
5:21-27
21
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
23
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the
head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should
submit to their husbands in everything.
25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church
and gave himself up for her 26
to make her holy, cleansing
her by the washing with water through the word, 27
and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without
stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Gen
2:18
18
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be
alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
Isaiah
32:17
17
The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of
righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.
WE
UNITE OUR PRAYERS, to loose ourselves from the effects of the
guilt shame, hurt, trauma and hopelessness that devils have brought
into our lives. In the Name of Jesus Christ, as the bride of
Christ, we bind ourselves to Christ our healer, who redeems every
experience, removes the pain and makes our weak places strong for
His glory.
Isaiah
54:4-5, 14
4
Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear
disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of
your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5
For your Maker is your husband-- the LORD Almighty is his
name-- the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the
God of all the earth.
14
In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be
far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far
removed; it will not come near you.
Isaiah
61:1-4
1
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD
has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to
bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2
to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of
vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3
and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on
them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness
instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit
of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting
of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
4
They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places
long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been
devastated for generations.
Isaiah
61:7
7
Instead of your shame, you will have a double portion and
instead humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion .
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
everlasting joy will be theirs.
Joel
2:25-32
25
I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten-- the
great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the
locust swarm -- my great army that I sent among you.
26
You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you
will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders
for you; never again will my people be shamed.
27
Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD
your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people
be shamed.
28
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream
dreams, your young men will see visions.
29
Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my
Spirit in those days.
30
I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood
and fire and billows of smoke.
31
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
32
And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be
saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be
deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the survivors whom the
LORD calls.
1
John 1:9
9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our
sins and to CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
Romans
8:28
28 And we know that God
causes all things to work together for good for those that love
God, to those who are called according to HIS
purposes.
SATAN,
WE UNITE OUR PRAYERS to loose ourselves from hopelessness
and helplessness and to bind ourselves to God's plans, purposes
and VISION for our lives with new faith and commitment.
Jer
32:27
27
"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything
too hard for me?"
1
Cor 1:21-22
21
Now He who established us with you in Christ and anointed us is
God, 22 Who also
sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.
Jer
33:3
2
This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD
who formed it and established it--the LORD is his name:
3
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and
unsearchable things you do not know.
Hab
2:1-2
1
I will stand at my watch and station myself on the
ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what
answer I am to give to this complaint.
2
Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and
make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.
Rom
5:5
5
and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out
his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
WE
UNITE OUR PRAYERS to bind ourselves to the love of God, His humility
and to be expressions of His heart. We loose ourselves
from fleshly concerns, fears and carnal jealousy and envy
that divides.
Mark
12:30-31
30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
31
The second is this: `Love your neighbor as yourself.' There
is no commandment greater than these."
Matt
5:8-11
8
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons
of God.
10 Blessed
are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed
are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all
kinds of evil against you because of me.
Matt
5:25-26
25
Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking
you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he
may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to
the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.
Matt
7:3
3
Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's
eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
Mark
10:42-45
42
Jesus called them together and said, "You know that
those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over
them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
43
Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great
among you must be your servant,
44
and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.
45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
John
8:15
15
You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.
Rom
8:1-2
1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are
in Christ Jesus,
2
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life
set me free from the law of sin and death.
Rom
8:15-17
15
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave
again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.
And by him we cry, "Abba,
Father."
16
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are
God's children.
17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and
co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in
order that we may also share in his glory.
LORD,
WE BIND OURSELVES to Godly motives, to speaking in love, with
patience and kindness in every sentence... To speak with
humility, without rudeness, self-centeredness or anger... We
loose our wrong reactions to offenses. We repent of and loose any
right to keep a record of wrongs... We loose ourselves from
rejoicing in the other's weaknesses and bind ourselves to
rejoicing with them and in the truth.
Our words will protect and express our trust in others and
show that we believe in them.
Rom
12:9-12
9
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is
good.
10 Be
devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above
yourselves.
11
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,
serving the Lord.
12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in
prayer.
Rom
15:1
1
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the
weak and not to please ourselves.
Rom
15:5-7
5
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you
a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus,
6
so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Accept
one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring
praise to God.
1
Cor 9:26-27
26 Therefore
I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a
man beating the air.
27
No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I
have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the
prize.
1
Cor 10:13
13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.
And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what
you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way
out so that you can stand up under it.
Gal
5:22-24
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness
and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh
with its passions and desires.
Eph
4:14-15
14
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by
the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and
by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
15 Instead,
speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him
who is the Head, that is, Christ.
Phil
2:1-8
1
If you have any encouragement from being united with
Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the
Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
2
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the
same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in
humility consider others better than yourselves.
4
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but
also to the interests of others.
5
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality
with God something to be grasped,
7
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a
servant, being made in human likeness.
8
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself
and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!
IN
JESUS' NAME, we loose ourselves from strongholds of
unforgiveness, distrust, fear and anger rooted in the victim
spirit, painful memories, fear of closeness, and our
"rights." We
bind ourselves to mercy and grace, trust, and forgiving as Jesus
did, paying the price.
It
is written:
Eph
4:30-32
30
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you
were sealed for the day of redemption.
31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and
slander, along with every form of malice.
32
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each
other, just as in Christ God forgave you
Eph
4:26-27
26
In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down
while you are still angry,
27
and do not give the devil a foothold.
Phil
2:12-13
12 Therefore,
my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my
presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out
your salvation with fear and trembling,
13
for it is God who works in you to will and to act according
to his good purpose.
Col
3:14-15
14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them
all together in perfect unity.
15
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
1
Pet 2:20-25
20
But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for
doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and
you endure it, this is commendable before God.
21
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example that you should follow in his steps.
22
"He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his
mouth."
23
When they hurled their insults at him, he did not
retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he
entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
24
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that
we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you
have been healed.
25
For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have
returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
IN
JESUS' NAME, we loose ourselves from the strongholds of
control, manipulation and self-indulgence rooted in fears of hurt,
interdependence, bonding and in not giving others value.
We bind ourselves to Your servant heart out of faith, love
and peace.
It
is written:
Heb
11:6
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because
anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he
rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Heb
12:14-15
14
Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be
holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
15 See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no
bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
James
1:8
8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
