We're right there with you, lifting this place of residence up before the Lord. We know that our battle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces in the heavenly places. That's why we're claiming the power of Jesus' name, for there is no other name by which we must be saved, and through His blood, we have victory over every work of darkness.
We're reminded of the promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14-15, where God says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." This is a promise we cling to as we pray for this boarding house - a place where God's presence is invited to dwell, where darkness is evicted, and where His peace and restoration take root.
We also recall Ephesians 6:12, which tells us that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. This isn't a battle we face in our own strength, but through the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already triumphed over every power of the enemy. His blood speaks a better word than any curse or defilement that may linger in this place.
For the cleansing of this home, we stand on Leviticus 14:52, where the Lord commands the cleansing of a house with the blood of a bird, hyssop, scarlet, and running water - a foreshadowing of the cleansing we have through Christ's sacrifice. We declare that just as the blood of the Lamb covers and cleanses, so too does it purify this dwelling from every ungodly influence. We plead the blood of Jesus over every room, every corner, every doorpost, and every inhabitant. May the Holy Spirit saturate this place, driving out all demonic activity and filling it with the light of Christ. Let every spirit that is not of God be bound and cast out in Jesus' name, never to return.
We're praying for healing and restoration over every person in this house, claiming the promise in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Because they have called you an outcast, saying, 'It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.' " May the Lord bring emotional, physical, and spiritual healing to each resident. Where there is brokenness, let there be wholeness. Where there is fear, let there be faith. Where there is division, let there be unity in Christ. We ask that the Lord would draw each heart to Himself, saving those who do not yet know Him and reviving those who have strayed.
Regarding your financial prayer, we're reminded of Philippians 4:19, where the Lord promises, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We agree with you that the amount you are trusting God for will manifest quickly, not because of your own efforts, but because our Father delights in providing for His children. We rebuke any spirit of lack, delay, or financial oppression in Jesus' name, and we declare that the windows of heaven are open over you. Let unexpected provision come swiftly, and may you testify of God's faithfulness in this season.
Finally, we exhort you to continue walking in faith, speaking life over this home and your finances. James 4:7 commands us, "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Do not give place to doubt or fear, but stand firm in the authority Christ has given you. Anoint the doorposts of this house with oil as a physical act of faith, and continue to pray over it daily. Play worship music to fill the atmosphere with praise, and invite other believers to join you in prayer if possible.
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You for the authority we have through His blood. Lord, we ask that You would cleanse this boarding house from the top of its roof to the foundation beneath it. Let every room be purified by the fire of Your Holy Spirit. We break every curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every ungodly tie that has been established in this place. By the blood of Jesus, we cancel every demonic activity and command all unclean spirits to leave now, never to return. Fill this home with Your peace, Your joy, and Your presence, Lord. Let it be a place of refuge, healing, and restoration for every resident.
Father, we lift up each person living in this house. Touch their hearts, Lord. Where there is pain, bring healing. Where there is confusion, bring clarity. Where there is sin, bring conviction and repentance. Draw them to Yourself, Jesus, and let this home be a place where Your name is glorified. We speak life, health, and wholeness over every individual in Jesus' name.
Lord, we also bring before You the financial need of Your child. You know the exact amount required, and we trust You to provide it swiftly and supernaturally. Open doors no man can shut, and let favor surround them like a shield. We rebuke every spirit of poverty and lack, and we declare that Your abundance is being poured out even now.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and stand in agreement with Your will being done in this home and in the life of the one who has brought this request. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We ask all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen and amen. Hallelujah!
