work in the name of jesus we resist you in the name of jesus any work that you're doing any effort that you're making to destroy the work of god in our midst in any individual life in 18:21 any marriage in any home in any relationship in the church or in any area at all we bind your work satan we know that you have to flee in the name of jesus thank you father that you've given us authority here on this earth and i pray that all of us will 18:34 exercise it lord that we will go into those places where the gates of hell are and take them down that we will go as you came down to this earth lord jesus to destroy the works of satan not just to be satisfied that satan's leaving us alone lord but to go 18:49 into those areas into those lives lord where where he has a foothold and exercise your authority and your power do that lord through us help us to be available help us to be ready as vessels for you for your kingdom and for your 19:02 glory lord and humility and brokenness in emptiness we come to you believing you will fill us to overflowing you said rivers of living water would flow from us lord and none of us is there fully yet lord but we long for it more more 19:14 today more of that outpouring more of those rivers flowing through us than even yesterday lord we believe you'll do it thank you so i pray for any who are in in a battle lord in a spiritual battle they've fallen or they're defeated in sin lord 19:28 we pray you'll bind the work of satan and resist them lose those that need to be loosed lord set free draw us closer to you into a deeper life of victory a deeper life of peace a deeper life of righteousness and joy in the holy spirit 19:43 lord this is the the kingdom of heaven you call us to live in it now we're not waiting to get to heaven to see you face to face lord we're tasting of that kingdom now thank you that you brought the kingdom of heaven here down heaven 19:54 has come down truly and glory has filled our soul thank you thank you for that lord jesus and we also lift up our our earthly needs to you think of many who are still sick suffering couldn't be here today or others that are suffering 20:07 with pain constant pain and uncertainty lord we don't look to doctors we don't look to medicine we don't look at anything here on this earth but to you and whatever you might use lord here on this earth will accept but our hope is 20:18 in you and you alone you are our healer you are our sanctifier you are the one that created our bodies and fashioned us fearfully and wonderfully in our mother's wombs and you are the one that will preserve us until that time when 20:31 our time here on this earth is over thank you lord jesus that you've set the boundaries you know exactly you have the keys of death and hades lord jesus and we commit our lives that the length of our lives and the quality of our lives 20:42 into your hands we ask you for our needs provide for them and bring healing before any who are even feeling sick right now lay your hands on them lord as you did to any who were sick who came to you in faith believing that you are a 20:54 god who is able and when we ask you if you are willing you will say we believe you will say i am willing lord jesus we know that it is your desire that we live healthy lives here on this earth we don't know how you'll answer it or how long lord 21:06 but we ask you in faith we ask you trusting we're not going to give up until you give us the answer lord that you desire for us not necessarily the answer we're looking for but the answer that you want we want your will lord not 21:18 as we will but your will be done thank you that you hear our prayer we trust our lives to you lord jesus and even our jobs the future lord we don't know what's going to happen we know the world is passing away that's that's for sure 21:30 lord and so we don't put our trust in the things of this earth we don't put our hope in riches which are passing away but we put our hope in you the eternal god who has provided for us all things that we need you care for the 21:42 sparrows and the lilies how much more for us your children and so we come to you and ask you for that that we need and you've given us much more than that we give you praise and thanks for your blessings you've given us far more than 21:53 we need or even what we deserve so we thank you and bless you and accept it willingly you give and take away and we say blessed be the name of the lord help us lord to proclaim this shout of praise and this this song of blessing 22:06 throughout what we're going through no matter what it looks like with our eyes we choose not to walk by sight but we walk by faith and i pray lord you'll continue to strengthen the relationships in our homes establish our marriages lord knit 22:17 our hearts more closely together as husbands and wives we stand against any effort of satan to bring division within our in our homes between husband and wife between parents and children knit the hearts of our children to us lord 22:29 and us towards our children you said you would do it pour out the spirit of uh that the spirit of elijah lord that you said you would send the church in this day to draw the hearts of the parents to their children and the children back to 22:41 their parents do that bless our children lord watch over them as they grow up that they will also be your disciples lord that's the only request we have we don't know what your will is for their lives in an earthly way but we know that 22:52 we can ask you that they will be wholehearted disciples of yours and pillars in the church and useful for your kingdom taken up with you above everything else realizing the joy of what we saw saying that christ is enough and the things of 23:04 this world that seem attractive are just empty empty pleasures may they learn that too lord we pray bless them provide for them as they go through school and go through finding your will for their lives we believe you will lead them we thank you for them for 23:17 the blessing they are pray for this church also lord that you will knit our hearts together in love and true love and unity a unity that comes through denying ourselves taking up our cross falling into the ground like a grain of 23:28 wheat to our own ideas and our own agendas and bearing fruit fruit that remains do that lord it's a supernatural work we can't do it we can't manufacture it we make ourselves available to you lord we're here we give you everything 23:40 of our lives for your glory for your kingdom that you might do a work that will last for all eternity a work that destroys the work of satan thank you be exalted lord and thank you that you've heard our prayer in jesus name 23:54 amen amen here's a song we
