OVERCOME!but deliver us from evil

Lord Jesus Christ, we confess and declare that You died on the cross, rose from the dead on the third day and ascended to heaven where You are now seated at the right hand of our heavenly Father.

You were given all authority in heaven and on earth, and the Name above all names, so that at the Name of Jesus Christ every knee will bow and every tongue confess that...

You are LORD!

You broke the power of Satan and of death and disarmed all principalities and powers through Your death and resurrection.

Let the revelation of the truth of the Gospel liberate many people from the power of Satan to follow Christ.

Break the hold of satanic powers and deliver people from idolatry, witchcraft, demonic oppression, depression and the stronghold of lies in destructive ideologies and religions.

Break the powers of darkness which corrupt businesses, governments and cities.

Deliver us from the fear of death and the fear of man, and give us boldness in preaching the Gospel with courage and perseverance.

Give us the wisdom to tear down the strongholds and arguments that were raised up against the knowledge of God.

We surrender ourselves into Your Hand.

Use us as instruments of righteousness to overcome evil through the blood of the Lamb, through our testimonies and through our willingness to suffer for Your Name’s sake.

Amen.

You are the Head of the Church and the Author and Finisher of our faith.

You promised that the Father will send us the Holy Spirit as a Comforter and Guide to lead us into all truth and to remind us of every word had spoken.

We confess that You have the words of eternal life, and express our desire to follow

You and to be Your disciples.

Your word is a lamp for our feet and light for our paths.

Lead us on paths of righteousness for Your Name’s sake.

Fill us with such love and zeal for You that we will not be moved by the temptations of materialism, power and sexual perversion.

Help the Church to walk in the light of Your Word and with such wisdom that we will fulfill Your purposes throughout the earth.

Guide those who are leading others in the spheres of government, education and business, to set an example of godliness and integrity so that the curse of corruption can be broken throughout cities and economies.
