HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WOMEN OF PRAYER DAY TRIP

The Women of Prayer and their families went on a daytrip to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC last Saturday, May 15th to experience the rare exhibit on The Sacred Made Real: Spanish Painting and Sculpture, 1600–1700. Among the notable 17th century artistic pieces on display were lifelike sculptures and paintings of saints, the Immaculate Conception, and the Passion of Christ; brought all the way from the old churches, convents, and monasteries in Spain. It was a memorable sight. For those who missed this extraordinary event, see exhibition brochure.

BINDING PRAYERS

PRAYER TO TAKE AUTHORITY

In the Name of Jesus, I take authority and I bind all powers and forces in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground, in the netherworld, in nature and in fire. You are the Lord over the entire universe and I give you the Glory for you creation. In Your Name, I bind all demonic forces that have come against us and our families and I seal all of us in the protection of your Precious Blood that was shed for us on the Cross. Mary, our Mother, we seek your protection and intercession with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for us and our families, and surround us with your mantle of love to discourage the enemy. St. Michael and our guardian Angels come defend us and our families in battle against all the evil ones that roam the earth. In the Name of Jesus I bind and command all the powers and forces of evil to depart right now away from us, our homes and our lands. And we thank you Lord Jesus for you are a faithful and compassionate God. Amen. Hail Mary...

PRAYER OF SALVATION

Renewed Faith in Jesus Christ Lord Jesus come into my heart, I desire that You be the Lord of my life so that I may be a Child of the Light to know you as my personal Savior – for I know and believed that You died on the cross for my sins. You rose again from the dead on the third day and You are coming again in glory. I believe in your forgiveness and I desire that You help me to refrain from any temptations that would keep me separated from Your everlasting love.

SPIRITUAL SURGERY PRAYER

In the Name of Jesus, I pray for (Name), that the two-edged sword of the Holy Spirit sever anything that is not of You, and I thank You, and I praise You.

TO BIND AWAY PRAYER

In the Name of Jesus, I take authority over each and every spirit that has come against (Name of Person), and I bind you away.
