Prayer points are topics that are designed to reflect the will of God from the scripture. I use them as a template or guide when I lead a group of people into the place of exercising the prayer of agreement.
This set of prayer points are based on a familiar passage of scripture that declares the protection in the place of intimacy with the Lord. It is a great place to start. You can pray this over your family and yourself as well. It becomes, not just petitions (asking), but declaring what the Word has declared about us. Much of our agreement with God’s Word reveals the truth in the Book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
THERE IS A SECRET PLACE/ SHADOW…
Being in the shadow requires being close, in a place close enough to be intimate. You cannot stand afar off and be in the shadow.
Psalm 91:1 (NKJV)
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
• We pray the “coming under” submission…that we will submit our lives to the will of God
• We pray and receive the authority of the Lord over our lives
James 4:7 (NKJV)
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
John 1:17 (NKJV)
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
• We submit and fall into the arms of grace. We declare Jesus’ grace and truth over us
THE SECRET PLACE/SHADOW IS THE REFUGE AND FORTRESS
PSALM 91:2
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
• We come into the refuge
Refuge:
1. shelter or protection from danger, trouble, etc.: to take refuge from a storm.
2. a place of shelter, protection, or safety.
3. anything to which one has recourse for aid, relief, or escape.
Fortress:
1. a large fortified place; a fort or group of forts, often including a town; citadel.
2. any place of exceptional security; stronghold.
