PRAYER & DECLARATION OF THE SPIRIT’S BREATH AND LIFE
A Note to Intercessors
Pray aloud, pausing for anyone the Holy Spirit brings to mind—Sara, Nate, Ethan, Kira, Samuel, Isaac, Tatum, Andee, Eleanor, yourself, or someone within your household or bloodline. Let this prayer launch you into intercession from your heart and the Father’s heart. It is the beginning, not the end, of your conversation with Him.
Father God,
I praise You as the Creator and Sustainer of life. You breathed life into man, and in Your hand are the lives of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. Your Spirit has made us, and Your breath gives us life You truly are an amazing God and I love you help me to love you more (Genesis 2:7; Job 12:10; 33:4).
Thank You for Nate, Sara, Ethan, Kira, Samuel, Isaac, Tatum, Andee, and Eleanor, their households and bloodlines, and for us intercessors, our households and bloodlines. Thank You for sustaining us and inviting us into fellowship with You we want to go deeper into You and your ways and your presence.
Holy Spirit, breathe afresh upon Sara and her family and upon each of us and our families. Refresh Sara where she has poured herself out in ministry. Renew Sara ada each of us and our spiritual and physical strength where we have grown weary, and awaken every holy and purified place within us that has become dry, discouraged, despondent or dormant.
Father, I repent on behalf of Sara, myself and our household and bloodlines for resisting Your Holy Spirit, neglecting Your presence, and depending upon our own strength. Forgive our unbelief, pride, bitterness, and disobedience. Show me anything specific I or Sara and her household and bloodline need to ask for the Light of Christ to shine on to bring repentance and surrender.
[Pause for confession.]
I personally renounce these agreements and receive Your cleansing through the blood of Jesus. Thank You that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus and that the Spirit of life has set me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1–2). I release the Spirit of Life in Christ on Sara her household and bloodline and ask for your kindness and your mercy to be poured out on them.
I also stand in intercessory repentance concerning Sara and her family, their households and bloodlines, and us intercessors, our households and bloodlines. Have mercy upon us where rebellion, idolatry, hypocrisy, un-forgiveness, or agreement with the flesh has gained ground. Set us free by your mercy and your grace. You are all we need. You are the key to everything and we need you to turn it all around! Remember Sara and her household and bloodline and each of us intercessors and our households and bloodlines and bring redemption to our lives where the enemy has stolen and trespassed.
Let Your kindness lead Sara and each of us and our households and bloodlines into deep, personal repentance. Give us revelation of what we must forgive, renounce, and surrender, and willing hearts to obey swiftly. You say obedience is better than sacrifice so give us willing spirits and souls. Meet our exhaustion with you compassion and tender mercy, cleanse our hearts, and restore to each of us and our households and bloodlines the joy of Your salvation (Romans 2:4; Psalm 51:10–12).
Father, your word says that, You revive the spirit of the lowly and the heart of the contrite. Revive Sara’s heart and the hearts of her household and bloodline come and restore all the ruin the enemy has brought in through curses and strongholds of pride and rebellion. Reach the wounded places within each of them and each of us intercessors that we cannot reach on our own, our hearts are too deep a thing for us to know, we need you to come shine your light on what we can not see. Come in and do a divine exchange, come and replace discouragement with hope and hardness with tenderness (Isaiah 57:15).
As You brought life to the dry bones in Ezekiel’s vision, bring renewal wherever Sara and her her household and bloodline, and us intercessors and our households and bloodlines, need Your restoring power (Ezekiel 37:5–14). Make us live in you Christ Jesus.
I am calling on you Lord God of Heaven and of Earth to breathe life into each of us where we are experiencing weakened faith, deferred hope, strained relationships, dormant gifts, and neglected callings. Pour out your love and your joy. Strengthen our bodies, renew our minds, and restore our hunger for You.
I agree with Sara and I believe that the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in those who belong to Christ and I ask you to move on Sara and myself and the intercessors and each of our households and bloodlines, come have your way with us. Let Your power sustain Sara and her household and bloodline and each of us today as we await the fullness of resurrection life, let us truly connect with the mercies that are new every morning for us. Let Sara and Each of us connect so deeply with the mercy that is ours every morning that we see ourselves receiving it, bring revelation. Lord you see Sara and myself and each of the intercessors and their households and bloodlines and you know exactly where they need healing, where there is sickness of body and soul and where there is depletion come and bring restoration quickly! Save Sara and her household and bloodline and us intercessors and our household and bloodline quickly (Romans 8:11).
Lord Jesus, You breathed upon Your disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” Come and breath on us. Make Sara’s heart and our hearts receptive to receive love from you and form others. Fill us afresh and make us fully yielded to Your presence and leading (John 20:22; Ephesians 5:18).
As You empowered Your people at Pentecost, empower Sara to teach, minister, and lead with joy, honor, wisdom, courage, confidence, clarity and love, put a guard over her mouth so that she doesn’t lead people astray in any way. Give her clear understanding of You and your word and her/our assignments. Give her focused thought, faithful and true words, and strength and wisdom and understanding for every single assignment. Let her ministry flow from close fellowship with You (Acts 2:1–4; 1:8). Increase her ability and desire to read the word of God, pray freely and connect with you intimately. Help each of us intercessors to know our roll clearly and to walk in it with love and honor and devotion as unto you oh Lord and let us each be blessed.
Cause Nate and Sara and us intercessors to dwell in peace and unity with each other and our children and extended families so that we do not have hindrances to our ability to serve you without distraction. Strengthen each of us intercessors to pray faithfully and serve joyfully. Let Your presence shape our homes, conversations, decisions, relationships, every facet of our lives and every cell in our bodies.
Give Sara and each of us wisdom, revelation, discernment, understanding, and the spirit of the fear of the Lord. Make us sensitive to Your voice and quick to obey. Where You lead, help us follow; where You send, give us courage to go without question (Isaiah 11:2; Ephesians 1:17).
MAKE OUR LIVES FRUITFUL
Father, pour out Your Spirit upon Sara and her household and bloodline, and upon us intercessors and our households and bloodlines. Turn wilderness places into fruitful fields. Water with you living water what has grown dry and bring forth what You have planted through prayer, obedience, worship, generosity, and service (Isaiah 32:15; Galatians 6:8–9).
Draw Sara’s children, step children and the children and descendants represented throughout this team into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. Let them know Your love, hear Your voice, walk in holiness, and fulfill Your purposes. Heal wounds from the past, guide their present choices, and prepare them for the future (Isaiah 44:3).
Awaken spiritual gifts in Sara, her family, and each of us intercessors and our households and bloodlines according to Your will. Give dreams, visions, and prophetic understanding that originate in Heave and aline completely with Your Word and will for our lives. Teach us to test everything and use every gift in love to strengthen Your Church (Joel 2:28; 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21; 1 Corinthians 14:3).
Bring Sara mature, faithful people to help equip and lead this team. Give her discernment to recognize these connections and wisdom to steward them. Let Evidence of Grace bear lasting fruit for Your Kingdom in her life, household and bloodline, in us intercessors and our households and bloodlines. .
CLEANSE OUR HEARTS & DIRECT OUR STEPS
Father, create clean hearts in Nate, Sara, Ethan, Kira, Samuel, Isaac, Andee, Tatum and Eleanor and in each of us. Remove hardness, stubbornness, hypocrisy, and resistance. Give us tender hearts and willing spirits that delight in obedience, even when we cannot yet see the fruit (Psalm 51:10–12; Ezekiel 36:26–27).
Let Your Holy Spirit lead Sara and each of us on level ground. Bring clarity where there is confusion, truth where there is deception, and peace where there is disorder and repentance where there is sin. Make the path of obedience clear and bring confirmations (Psalm 143:10).
Deliver Sara and each of us listed from empty religion and outward godliness without inward transformation. Make Your Word living and fruitful within us and help us connect to it easily. Expose every false agreement and lead each person to repent, renounce deception, and embrace Your truth (John 6:63; 2 Corinthians 3:6; 2 Timothy 3:5).
By Saras permission and Christ’s authority, I cut off the enemy’s attempts to draw Sara and her family, and us intercessors and our families, away from Jesus. Establish us in the freedom You have given and teach us to stand firm (James 4:7; Galatians 5:1).
Father, set Sara’s mind and our minds upon the Spirit, which brings life and peace. Expose lies, establish truth, and teach us to take our thoughts captive to obey Christ, help us to cast down every vein imagination. Replace fear with faith and turmoil with Your peace (Romans 8:6; Ephesians 4:23; 2 Corinthians 10:5).
Thank You that You save through Your mercy and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit. Draw every unsaved person in Sara’s family and each of us intercessors to Jesus. Strengthen those who belong to You to live as new creations, freed from the sinful patterns of their former lives (Titus 3:5–6; 2 Corinthians 5:17).
Let Sara and each of us our households and bloodlines walk by the Spirit. Grow Your fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control within us. Let this fruit bless our families and nourish everyone we serve (Galatians 5:16, 22–23).
Establish unity throughout Evidence of Grace and this prayer team. Protect Sara and each of us from division and rivalry. Teach us to honor one another, forgive quickly, speak truth in love, and faithfully contribute what You have entrusted to us (1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:15).
Jesus Christ, You are our source of life. Apart from You we can do nothing. Your Spirit gives life, Your truth brings freedom, and Your grace supplies strength Sara and each of us need all of these things (John 15:5; 2 Corinthians 3:17).
I declare Your faithfulness over Sara and her family, their households and bloodlines, and over us intercessors, our households and bloodlines.
Let faith be strengthened, hope restored, and love renewed. Let hearts become tender, minds become clear, and obedience become joyful.
Fill Sara and each of us intercessors with fresh wisdom, courage, and strength. Establish our families in Your truth and peace and make our homes places of prayer, love, and reconciliation.
With Saras permission I bring all of our relationships, bodies, decisions, finances, and futures under Your lordship. Deepen our confidence in Your love and our belonging as Your children (Romans 8:15–16).
Holy Spirit, breathe upon us. Let Your presence, holiness, gifts, and fruit mark Sara’s life, Evidence of Grace, each of us intercessors and our families, and the generations that follow us.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
