We stand with you in prayer for the protection of innocent African American Christian men from high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, brain aneurysms, and any spiritual wickedness against their lives, especially in National City, CA, and everywhere else. We pray specifically for the month of July 2025 and forevermore, believing in the miraculous power of Jesus' name.
Firstly, we acknowledge the power of praying in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It is through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we find salvation. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety, knowing that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. As it is written in 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB: "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
We pray for these men to be surrounded by a hedge of protection, as it is written in Job 1:10 WEB: "Haven't you put a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side?" We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned. As it is written in Isaiah 54:17 WEB: "no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness which is of me," says Yahweh.
We pray for their health, that they will be strong and healthy, free from high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, and brain aneurysms. As it is written in 3 John 1:2 WEB: "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers."
We pray against any spiritual wickedness, knowing that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. As it is written in Ephesians 6:12 WEB: "For 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."
We pray that these men will stand firm in their faith, clothed in the full armor of God, able to withstand the fiery darts of the evil one. As it is written in Ephesians 6:13-17 WEB: "Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, besides all these, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God."
We pray for these men to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. As it is written in Ephesians 6:10 WEB: "Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might."
Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up these innocent African American Christian men. We pray for their protection, their health, and their strength. We pray against any spiritual wickedness and declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper. We ask that You surround them with a hedge of protection and deliver them from any evil plans of the enemy. We pray for their faith to be strengthened and for them to be clothed in the full armor of God. We ask all these things in Jesus' name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Amen.
