Protection and Deliverance of a City

Protection and

Deliverance of a City

Father, in the name of Jesus, we have received Your power

— ability, efficiency, and might — because the Holy Spirit

has come upon us; and we are Your witnesses in __________ and

to the ends — the very bounds — of the earth.

We fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the

throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help

in good time for every need — appropriate help and well-timed

help, coming just when we in the city of __________ need it.

Father, thank You for sending forth Your commandments to

the earth; Your Word runs very swiftly throughout __________.

Your Word continues to grow and spread.

Father, we seek — inquire for, require, and request — the

peace and welfare of __________, in which You have caused us to

live.We pray to You for the welfare of this city and do our part by

getting involved in it.We will not let [false] prophets and diviners

who are in our midst deceive us; we pay no attention and attach

no significance to our dreams that we dream or to theirs. Destroy

[their schemes], O Lord; confuse their tongues, for we have seen

violence and strife in the city.

Holy Spirit, we ask You to visit our city and open the eyes of

the people, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the

power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness

and release from their sins and a place and portion among those

who are consecrated and purified by faith in Jesus.

Father, we pray for deliverance and salvation for those who

are following the course and fashion of this world — who are

under the sway of the tendency of this present age — following

the prince of the power of the air.

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Father, You see the regional and cultural strongholds that

would hinder the Gospel. You have told us to declare Your works.

So we say boldly that the prince of the power of the air, the god of

this world who blinds the unbelievers’ minds (that they should not

discern the truth), is a defeated foe. We declare on the authority

of Your Word that You have disarmed the powers and authorities;

You made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the

Cross. Thank You, Father, for the spreading of the Gospel.

Thank You, Father, for the guardian angels assigned to this

place who war for us in the heavenlies.

In the name of Jesus, we stand victorious over the

principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and

spiritual wickedness in high places over __________.

We ask the Holy Spirit to sweep through the gates of our city

and convince the people and bring demonstration to them about

sin and about righteousness — uprightness of heart and right

standing with God — and about judgment.

Father, You said, “For I know the thoughts and plans that I

have for you...thoughts and plans for welfare and peace, and not

for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome” ( Jer. 29:11 AMP).

By the blessing of the influence of the upright and God’s favor

[because of them], the city of __________ is exalted. Amen.
