Father, as we continue to fortify the Gates in our lives we come to the Prison Gate, or the Ephraim Gate also known as the Gate of the Guard.  (Nehemiah 12:39)

Father, we come in agreement that the people of our church family as well as the Body of Christ are guards and not prisoners.  (Col. 1:12, 13)  Thank you beloved redeemer for the rescue from prison for us and we declare this freedom over those in our church family and the Body of Christ in Jesus’ name.

Show us dear Holy Spirit where we are in error in our thoughts; self-pity, negativity, jealousy, depression, inadequacy, hopelessness, anger, frustration, feeling unloved, all of these are lies from the enemy that keep us bound and prisoners.  We speak out that we are a people who resist the enemy in Jesus’ name.  “We do not give place to the devil. (Eph. 4:27, James 4:7)

We also decree and declare that fear is not permitted its strangle hold any longer in Jesus’ name.  It is our continuous confession that God has not given us the Spirit of Fear, but power, love and a sound well balanced mind.  (2 Tim. 1:7)  Through Your grace we displace these demonic forces with love, power and a sound well balanced mind in Jesus name.

Precious Lord we rejoice that as we go free in liberty that we also bring liberty to other prisoners in Jesus’ name.  May we walk in the reality that the Gatekeeper Angel has been released in our geographic area, as we believe what the prophet Todd Bentley proclaimed over our area.  May we bless those locked into cells to go forth, those that were in darkness, show themselves.  (Is. 49:9)

Strengthen us Lord, in Jesus name to cast down any deceptive reasonings and submit our minds to Your authority.  We rejoice that bondages are being broken, ungodly habits removed, wrong thinking stopped in Jesus’ name  How we praise You for the release of hearing ears, hearts of fertile soil, mysteries and discernment flowing clearly, and the richness of Your glorious presence in our midst.  We say thank you for repairing and caring to put the prison gate in divine order where we are guards once again and not prisoners.

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen
