A Warfare Prayer: “Keep Me Under the Blood”
Written by:
Dr. Harold Sawyer)
I wanted to take the time to say something about what you are about to read. Everything isn’t for everybody, but if you open yourself up to the possibility of learning, great things can happen. Powerful things can occur in your life. People experiment with alcohol, drugs, another man’s wife, war, medicine and many other things. Experiment with this for today.

Father I bow in worship and praise before you, I cover myself with the blood of Jesus Christ and claim the protection of the blood for my family, my job, my finances, my home, my spirit, soul, and body. I surrender myself completely and unreservedly in every area of my life to you. I take a stand against all the workings of the devil that would try and hinder my family and me from best serving you this day. I address myself only to the True and Living God, who has all power, and control over everything. Satan, I command you and all of y our demon forces of darkness, in the name of Jesus Christ to leave my presence. I bring the blood of Jesus Christ between you and my family, my home, my finances, my spirit, soul and body. I declare, therefore, that you and all of your wicked spirits are subject to me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit come into my life today, breakdown every idol and cast out every foe. Now, I myself tear down all the strongholds of Satan and smash the plans of Satan that have been formed against my family and me. I tear down the strongholds of the devil against my mind, and I surrender my mind to you, blessed Holy Spirit. I affirm heavenly Father, that you have not given me the Spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Therefore, I resist the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus the Son of the Living God, and I refuse to doubt, refuse to worry, because I have authority (power) over all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I claim complete and absolute victory over the forces of darkness in the name of Jesus and I bind the devil and command him to loose my peace, joy, prosperity, and every member of my family for the glory of God and by faith I call it done.
I break and smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my emotions to you Lord Jesus. I destroy the strongholds of Satan against my body today and I give my body to you Lord Jesus realizing that I am the temple of the Holy Spirit (1Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Again, I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that the Holy Ghost would bring all the work of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ into my life today. I surrender my life and possessions to you. I refuse to fear, worry, or to be discouraged in the Name of Jesus. I will not hate, envy or show any type of bitterness toward my brothers, sisters or my enemies, but will love them with the love of God shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost.
Holy Spirit open my eyes and show me any areas of weaknesses that does not please you and give me the strength, grace and wisdom to remove any sin or weight that would prevent our close fellowship. Work in me to cleanse me from all grounds that would give the devil a foothold against me, I claim in every way the victory of the cross and the blood of Jesus over all satanic forces in my life. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving and I welcome all the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
May the Lord Jesus Christ touch, bless, strengthen and heal you is my Prayer.

I’m going to try to get this printed on something nice (paper), framed and hung on the wall. This is something worthy of being seen everyday!
I agree Tom! Thank you Dr. Sawyer!
This is a prayer we need to pray today and every day.

Remember this family also………..
LOGANTON, Pa. — The grandson of a New York gospel singer has become the third person to die following a crash in Pennsylvania involving a wrong-way driver.
D.J. Wright, 14, the grandson of the Rev. Timothy Wright, died Saturday evening, a nursing supervisor at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville said Sunday.
The Rev. Wright, 61, of Roosevelt, N.Y. remains in critical condition following the crash late Friday that also killed his wife Betty, 58.
John Pick, 44, of Lewisburg also died when he drove the wrong-way on eastbound Interstate 80 and struck the Wrights’ vehicle head-on.
Timothy Wright has released more than a dozen gospel recordings, including “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,” which came out last year. He is the founder and pastor at Grace Tabernacle Christian Center in Brooklyn.
New York music agent Will Bogle called the news “completely deflating.”
“He’s been a mentor to me in ways he probably doesn’t even know,” said Bogle, who represents gospel performer Ricky Dillard. “He’s a giving man; I’ve not seen a person more tangible to his church, to his community, to his friends. Everyone I know is deeply touched and saddened.”
The Wrights were returning from a Church of God in Christ conference in Detroit, said Leroy Johnson, a trustee at Grace Tabernacle.
The couple has five sons, and the family asked that no other information be released, Johnson said Saturday.
A passenger in a third vehicle that struck the Wrights from behind remained in fair condition Sunday, the nursing supervisor said.
Prayed this prayer today. What an impact!
My sister goes to a church in Columbus, Oh and one of her friends died. She sent me this yesterday and I started not to post it because I’m not sure if anyone know her, but the family could use some prayer for sure.
