A Breakthrough Prayer for Taking Thoughts Captive

A Breakthrough Prayer for Taking Thoughts Captive
"Lord, I pray that you would help me understand the enemy's strongholds in my life. Please help me to close all open doors to the lies of the enemy. I want to see breakthrough prayer and have victory in my thought life. Show me any false beliefs that are contrary to your Word. Show me when I trust my own thoughts rather than your Word. Help me not to become captive to Satan's schemes. I want to develop a stronger lifestyle in meditating on your Word. Show me any area in my life where I have embraced a lie instead of your truth. Show me when I am listening to the enemy instead of you. Make me aware of what lies I am entertaining when I get into negative emotions. Help me to see patterns of false beliefs. Bring revelation of the enemy's strongholds in my life. I choose to take captive every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). I choose to believe your Word. I choose to listen to you on a daily basis. Teach me to think about what I am thinking about. I don't have to let Satan outwit me because I am not unaware of his schemes in my life (2 Corinthians 2:11). I thank you that there is no falsehood in you. 'I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word. I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws... I hold fast to your statutes, O Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free' (Psalm 119:15-16, 30-32). In Jesus name, amen."
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold (Psalm 18:2).

PRAYER PROCLAMATIONS FOR YOU TO MAKE!

I am anointed by the Holy One of God. I am His chosen vessel. His presence goes before me and dwells within me.
Jesus Christ dwells in my heart by faith. Greater is He who dwells within me than he who is in the world.
The favor of the Lord is upon me! He has anointed me to proclaim the Good News and to set captives free. My life is set apart to give God glory!
The best is yet ahead for me and my family! God is for me--not against me. Together, we make a great team! His plan, purpose and destiny for my life shall be fulfilled.
The enemies of my soul shall become like grasshoppers in my own sight. I shall enforce the triumph of Christ over the powers of darkness and Jesus shall be magnified through my life!

The Time of Favor has Come!

Confess this over your life daily and in every situation:

FAVOR SHALL COVER ME AND SURROUND ME LIKE A SHIELD.

For you, O Lord, will bless the righteous;
With favor you will surround him as with a shield.
(Psalm 5:12)
