Change the World When You Pray

Lord, I am praying for the churches and our entire city with its area - and the people within 200 miles in every direction. Forgive us of every sin - for this moment in time, let your blood cleanse our hearts, our minds, our souls and bodies. Let this be the dawning of a new day in every living soul touched. Let your spirit fill every heart with knowledge and understanding. Help our minds conceive your message of love, righteousness and holiness. Make us more aware of our thoughts and our personal responsibility to others. I bind with power all the powers of darkness within the area touched. Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18 say "Whatsoever I bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever I release on earth shall be released." I speak in the name of Jesus against every stronghold that holds this people in bondage; I break the bonds of alcohol, drugs of all kinds and idolatry as it incorporates all forms of lust and greed. I release each of those bound to freedom. Let the Holy Spirit make this freedom known to each individual with knowledge and understanding and power. Let Faith in God and Righteousness abound.
Give Us a Revival.
Amen
