Prayers For The Easter Dream Marathon Begins Here…
12 Things to Note Before You Pray
1 You are not praying against any human being, dead or alive. Your prayer points are directed at the spiritual entities (which you may not even know or see) listed in Ephesians 6:12
2 You must have prepared yourself through genuine repentance.
3 During this prayer program, no matter the level of provocation, do NOT get angry. Be of your best behavior towards friends, family and even those who do not like you.
4 Commit to reading through at least 1 books of the Bible during this period. I recommend the books of John. And meditate upon those scriptures to keep your spirit-man razor sharp.
5 Each prayer point should be prayed for between 2 and 5 minutes. Do NOT just read them. Pray them repeatedly or with variation as led by the Spirit of God. And pray in the Spirit often.
6 Get a notebook and write down all your dreams, visions and revelations during this program.
7 Pray at the midnight hour for best results, if you can.
8 If you are praying in a group, let one person call out the prayer points and then everyone will pray in unity until the one leading says, “in Jesus’ name we pray.” Then everyone should shout "Amen." Move to the next prayer point.
9 Begin each session with passionate praise and worship for at least 10 minutes.
10 Follow praise and worship session with scripture confessions.
11 First 24 hours (day 1) please observe a fast if you can (if you have a medical condition, seek the advice of your doctor). Other days fast from morning till 12 noon or 3pm or 6 pm or 9 pm as the Lord gives you the grace.
12 Finally, pray each prayer point loud, repeatedly, aggressively, and with violence. The Bible assures us in Matt.11:12,
“And since the time of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers (allows) violence, and the violent take it by force.”
Day 1 – April 1
Scripture Ingredients: Daniel chapter 9:1-19
We will start off with the 3 R's: -
· Repent
· Renounce
· Revoke
Repent...
The very first step to take is acknowledge that you have made mistakes in the past and sinned greatly against the LORD.
Then you go to Him in with godly sorrow and deep repentance in your heart, confessing your sins and the sins of your ancestors, following Daniels’s godly example in Daniel 9.
Here Daniel was praying for the restoration of Jerusalem. You should follow that model and in place of Jerusalem, substitute your dreams and your divine destiny.
This is such a crucial FIRST step. You must do it slowly, while on a 24-hour FAST.
Confess your sins one by one.
Mention them by name, especially sexual sins, unforgiveness, wrong use of the tongue, etc.
And ask GOD for forgiveness and mercy.
Believe that the LORD has forgiven you as He has promised in His Word.
Please note that the Holy Spirit will remind you of unrepented sins. You need to repent of them all if you REALLY want to see results in this program.
This is what will set the tone and lay the foundation for the rest of the program.
It is what will activate divine intervention in the area of your dreams … the LORD has been waiting a long time for you to get on your knees and do this properly and thoroughly!
Renounce...
After repentance (please note that thorough repentance can take you hours) then you will be positioned to renounce your involvement in ungodly associations.
Here's a good example:
If you were a member of any fraternity or cult group at any time (or you know that your parents or ancestors were), you many want to pray like this:
1. Lord, I repent of my involvement with this ........ group (mention the name).
2. I ask for your forgiveness. Please wash me clean with the blood of Jesus Christ.
3. Holy Spirit, please help me never to go back to my own vomit.
4. I hereby renounce my association with this ..... group in Jesus' name (mention the name).
5. I reject all the properties of this evil group in my possession and I command the fire of God to burn them to ashes in Jesus' name.
I bind all the spirits, powers, entities, strongholds associated with this group and I cast them out of my life forever by the power in the blood of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' name I command these powers to loose their hold upon my life right now. I cancel every evil claim of ownership upon my life in Jesus Christ name.
6. I silence every evil voice speaking against my life from the camp of the wicked by the power in the blood of Jesus.
Revoke...
I revoke every decree, I counter every negative pronouncement, I cancel every spell, enchantment and divination from this evil group (mention the name) by the power in the blood of Jesus.
7. I bind every spirit associated with this group and I FORBID them from operating against my life and family from now henceforth in Jesus' mighty name.
8. Let the blood of Jesus wash and purge me from every stamp, mark or label associated with this group in Jesus' name.
9. I break every covenant with this group I entered into willingly or unwillingly, whether in the physical or in the dream, in Jesus' name.
10. Let every curse attached to my membership of this group be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit and the power in the blood of Jesus Christ.
11. I hereby announce my separation from this group. I terminate all assignments and I destroy every linkage or connection with this group for now and in eternity in Jesus' name.
12. Let my name be erased from their evil registers by the blood of Jesus, and let all covenant materials with my name be consumed by the fire of God in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
TO SUMMARIZE:
Confess your sins to the LORD and ask for His forgiveness. Confess the sins of your ancestors and ask for His forgiveness. Ask Him to wash you clean with the blood of Jesus. Receive His forgiveness with thanks. And declare that you forgive yourself as well.
Then renounce, revoke, reject every past or present ungodly associations, and separate your life from each and everyone of them, as I've outlined above.
Here are the steps …
1: Start with praise worship. Praise God and worship him
with songs, and even with dancing.
2: Confess out LOUD the Scriptures promising deliverance:
Col. 2:14-15, Gal. 3:13-14, 2 Timothy. 4:18, Isa 53:3-5
3: Renounce
4: Reject
5: Revoke
6: Announce your separation, using the example above as a model.
7: Charge yourself with the fire of the Holy Ghost
8: Close the session with high praises to the LORD.
You need to spend time to carry out this exercise, especially if you have ever been involved in any of the following in the past:
1. abortion or other forms of bloodshed
2 consulting with psychics, astrologers, mediums, fortune-tellers, etc.
3. worship of false gods, including family gods
4. sex outside marriage
5. sexual perversion, eg. Sodomy, pornography, oral sex
6. maintaining evil family altars
7. satanic priesthood
8. witchcraft, satanism, and other occult practices
Please use the entire Day One to repent and carry out the exercise above.

PROTECTION PRAYERS
"Father God, please send your Holy Angels to stand guard over me today (tonight). I pray that they will minister to me and remind me of your healing power. Lord please keep me safe from the evil one and strengthen me against all temptations that may come my way. Thank You Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen." (based on Psalm 91)
"Lord God, please surround me with favor as with a shield today. Lord, please strengthen your wall of protection around me, keeping me safe from temptation of the flesh, tricks of the Adversary, and all harm. Lord, please fill my thoughts with Your thoughts and let my words be your words. You are my strength, my shield and my defense, O Lord. Thank You, Lord, in Jesus name I pray, Amen." (based on Psalm 5:12 & Psalm 7:10)
We have found that reciting Psalm 91 as a prayer prior to going to bed each night has helped in establishing God's protective hedge over our homes and families.
The Blood of Jesus Christ is a powerful weapon for protection from the enemy's attacks. The following prayer is a good one to pray before starting the day:
"Lord, I cover myself and everyone around me with the blood of Jesus. I cover all of the members of my family (call them by name) with the blood of Jesus. I cover my home, my land, my car, my finances, my marriage, my ministry, with the blood of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus Christ, by the power of His blood, I break off every power of the kingdom of darkness and cancel every argument in heaven that has established itself against the plans of God in my life and spoil every attack of the enemy. I call forth, in the name of Jesus, all of God's plans and purposes for my life, and my family. As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. Satan, the blood of Jesus is against you and you have no authority over my life. NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME (OR MY FAMILY) SHALL PROSPER!"

The Power of Prayer
Prayers are powerful and important tool for every Christian. This page is designed to help give some advice to keep your prayers focused and passionate. We hope to provide numerous strategies to liven up your prayer life.
"A little creativity can deepen your talks with God." -Rebecca Brooks
Ways to Pray:
Prayer is very personal experience and unique to each person so we will not be telling you how to pray. However, we hope to offer suggestions you can mix into your routine as you like.
* Try making a prayer calendar. Set aside each day for a different topic: Monday-a sick person, Tuesday-church revival, Wednesday-family, etc.
o You can also add a thankfulness column. Tell something your specifically thankful for each: Monday-your health, Tuesday-Christian fellowship, Wednesday-American freedom
* Journal your prayers But don't just journal requests. Write out questions, heartaches and struggles. Don't forget to journal praises, too. Be creative. Put your prayers into poems. Write a letter to God. Then go back and read your journal entries in a week or a month. There's a good chance you'll be reminded of how God has answered your prayers. And when you're feeling down, your past praises remind you of God's goodness and love for you.
* Take a prayer walk Hike in a forest preserve and praise God for his beautiful creation. Walk around your neighborhood and pray for the family in each home you pass. Or take a "prayer walk" on the sidewalk around your school.
* Pray Scripture Let's say that during your Bible reading time you come across 1 Peter 5:7: "God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him" (CEV). Turn that verse into a prayer: "Lord, I'm going to trust you and give you all my worries. I know you will take care of me." Do this with Scriptures that express needs and also with those that praise or thank God. Hey, why not personalize the Lord's Prayer? Take each sentence or phrase from this well-known prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) and write it in a way that applies directly to your life.
* Pray about the news. When you read or hear about a troubling issue, pray for the people involved. Pray for politicians and other national and community leaders who make the news.
* Partner up. Find someone to pray with regularly. Plan to meet at a coffee shop once or twice a week, or get together before school. Praying with a friend is great for personal accountability. It's also a cool way to take a friendship to a deeper level.
* Be quiet. If prayer is a conversation, then you also need to listen in silence. And silence means getting away from distractions like music and TV. A quiet, little-used corner at the library could be the best place. As you listen, don't expect to hear a voice. But do expect God to tug at your heart, move your conscience, or help you realize something you need to do or change.
* Keep a prayer on your lips. Dozens of thoughts pass through your mind daily. You daydream. You may think bad or gossipy thoughts. Turn those daydreams and not-so-great thoughts into prayers. Ask God to help a person hurt by gossip. Ask him to forgive you for thoughts that take your mind places it shouldn't go. Turn daydreams and other passing thoughts into moments to recognize God's presence in your life. As you learn to keep a prayer on your lips, you'll come a little closer to understanding what it means to "pray continually" (1 Thessalonians 5:17, NIV).
