"How to Pray Protection Over Your City"
Wanda Alger, Winchester, VA
In the wake of more mass shootings in cities across the nation, there is a rising anxiety and uncertainty among many. Whether these attacks come from terrorists, home-grown criminals, or desperate prodigals with a point to prove, violence is on the rise. But now is not the time to give in to this fear! Rather, we must press into prayer and raise up even more local prayer watches to blanket our cities with intercession.
The Bowls Are About to Tip!
The powers of the air recognize that the prayers of the saints have been getting through to the throne! Our intercession has been filling the bowls and stirring Heaven to come to the earth and the enemy knows it. The reality is that God is about to pour out His glory across the earth, bringing the true FEAR OF THE LORD upon this land, and Hell is running scared. All the powers of darkness are about to be exposed for what they truly are. They are making a last-ditch effort to release a demonic terror in hopes that we will be distracted and give in to a fear that is not of God.
Where the fear of the Lord is Heaven-sent to awaken our spirits to the majesty and holiness of God, the terror of Hell seeks to destroy our faith and kill our purpose and destiny. What we see happening in many of these horrific attacks is the devil's preemptive attack to the fear of the Lord that is coming. But, we can do something about it. (Photo via Unsplash)
We must stand by those who are suffering from these attacks with our love, support, and prayers, and we must also take our positions in the watchtowers of our communities for the days ahead. We must take the offense in securing our cities for the Kingdom by praying with others in agreement for the spiritual and natural protection of the Lord. Our corporate alignment is key to secure our cities and establish spiritual walls of protection.
Let's pray for God's presence to become a wall of fire around our communities and for the fear of the Lord to permeate every street in our neighborhoods. I urge you to join with other Believers around you and BUILD A WALL OF FIRE AROUND YOUR CITY!
"'And I will be to her a wall of fire all around,' declares the Lord, 'and I will be the glory in her midst.'" (Zechariah 2:5 ESV)
A Prayer Guide
Here is a simple PRAYER GUIDE that you can use for your own community as you stand with others on the wall of intercession.
1. Lift up praise and worship over the city.
"Extol the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion. He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses your people within you." (Psalm 147:12-13) (Photo via Unsplash)
• Magnify the name of Jesus above all other names (Luke 10:17; Philippians 2:9-11).
• Declare His Lordship in your community and region (2 Kings 19:19; Psalm 50:23).
• Read Psalms of praise to displace any voices of darkness (Psalm 33, 35, 65, and 67).
2. Declare your home and community to be a dwelling place for God's presence.
"'And I Myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the Lord, 'and I will be its glory within.'" (Zechariah 2:5)
• Celebrate the light of His presence which brings strength and favor (Psalm 89:15-17).
• Praise Him for His presence which disarms the enemy (Psalm 31:20; Exodus 33:14).
• Thank God for His presence which prevents any deception or falsehood from taking hold (Psalm 101:7).
• Invite the fear of the Lord to rest upon your community (Psalm 34:7; Isaiah 8:13-14).
3. Call for unity in the Church and oneness of spirit among spiritual leaders.
"...Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one."(John 17:11)
• Pray that the hearts of leaders would be drawn together by a oneness of spirit (Ephesians 4:16; Galatians 3:26-28).
• Pray that doctrinal differences would give way to demonstrating the power of the Gospel (2 Chronicles 30:12; 1 Corinthians 1:10).
• Pray that a unified voice would arise from the city, reflecting the Father's heart and will (Romans 15:5-6).
• Pray that Believers would be drawn together in the power of covenant community (Acts 18:9-10).
4. Disarm any plans of the enemy to cause harm or injury to people or property.
"...Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's." (2 Chronicles 20:15)
• Declare God's righteous boundaries around the city (Psalm 31:20; Jeremiah 5:22).
• Renounce (refuse to recognize) and cancel any threats of harm or property damage (Isaiah 63:9; Luke 4:28-30).
• Pray that communications of the enemy would be confused and canceled (Jeremiah 20:11-12; Psalm 55:9-10).
• Counter negative words or curses spoken with the promises of God (Psalm 109:26-31; 2 Corinthians 10:2-6). (Photo via Unsplash)
5. Declare that the Light of Truth will dispel any darkness and expose the lies.
"In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:4-5)
• Bless the city with an increased awareness of His presence and truth which dispels darkness (Psalm 36:9).
• Pray that those who oppose God's heart and ways would encounter Jesus (Acts 8:12-13).
• Pray that counterfeits would be exposed, bringing the fear of the Lord (Acts 19:14-17).
• Pray that every evil practice would collide with truth and life (Acts 8:4-8).
6. Speak God's blessings and protection over transportation and communication lines.
"The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven." (Deuteronomy 28:7)
• Pray protection over city streets and citizens young and old (Psalm 121:8; Proverbs 10:9).
• Bless the roadways and highways with the holiness of God (Isaiah 35:8-10).
• Declare the roadways consecrated unto the Lord to bring wandering souls back to Him (Jeremiah 50:5). (Photo via Unsplash)
7. Pray for the Word of God and message of the Cross to be shared with power.
"For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict...Everyone will hate you because of Me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life." (Luke 21:15, 17-19)
• Declare that the power of God's Word and anointing of the Holy Spirit would disarm the adversary (Acts 6:9-10; 2 Thessalonians 1:5-7).
• Pray for boldness to declare the truth of the Gospel (Acts 4:29-31; Philippians 1:14).
• Pray that the Spirit of Truth would be proclaimed and heard (John 16:13-14).
• Declare the favor of God on those who preach and teach the Word of God (Acts 17:16-17, 32).
8. Thank God for His delivering power in defeating all His enemies.
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (1 John 4:4) (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Power of Your Love - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Power of Your Love
“For
I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth,
nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-29, NASU
When I again encountered this worship song on my playlist this morning, with Darlene Zschech of Hillsongs (1995) singing once again The Power of Your Love, my spirit soared. Yes! What a powerful song!
Back then. Even now.
Immediately
I experienced the love of the Lord, knowing He is near, He is in control, He is
moving among the nations through His Holy Spirit, spreading what He alone does
so well, the power of His love. In and through us, those who walk in His ways, who
know and experience His leading through His word and His might, in the
knowledge of His love. We have known, and continue to know, the power of His
love.
Read
these lyrics written by Geoff Bullock. Then listen to
them as Darlene so powerfully sings them.
Consider
what He has does in your life, once again. Let the love of the Lord be renewed
in your heart today, as His will is unfolded in through you and His love
surrounds you, to share with others.
The Power of Your Love
Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I've found in You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I've found in You
Lord I've come to know
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love
Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love
Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me
Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
By the power of Your love
Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side
And as I wait
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

Be
blessed today, knowing that the love of God never ceases, never changes, never
will let you down as you keep your eyes fixed on Him, the Author, and Finisher
of our faith.
“Therefore
we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay
aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run
with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author
and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the
cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of
God.” Hebrews 12:1-2, NKJV
Now think on this and see what good things the Lord has in store
for you and those around you.
