Mar. 3 - Spiritual Freedom/Warfare on behalf of our Schools and Education Systems

On Mondays we pray for our schools and educational systems, and on the week of the first Sunday, we pray for spiritual freedom that is possible through warfare prayer where our target is to bind the schemes of Satan which bring confusion, destructive behavior and death to people.

Pray that the following troubling situations would be eliminated...  

 Protection for everyone who is praying today (the enemy does not like praying in this way)  

 Evil-motivated activity – lying, cheating, back-stabbing, gossiping, drug-dealing – students caught up in this are believing lies  

 Wicca, (devil prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.) I Jesus’ name we declare null and void any hexes, vexes, spells, and curses placed on any of our students, teachers, administration and staff.  

 Humanism, Godless curriculum that revolts against the knowledge of Christ.  

 Against Spirits of depression, low self-esteem, hopelessness, that surfaces in students being rebellious, unmotivated, secluded,   

 Violence – protection on all our city’s campuses from acts of violence and terror   

 Health dangers such at STD’s – against a spirit of indiscipline, eating disorders, addictions to drugs, alcohol, nicotine  

 Child Abuse – against a spirit of aggression  

 Protection for girls, especially those who believe lies regarding their self-image – Gender Dysphoria  

 Protection regarding students who face a college campus hostile to their faith  

 Any Lawsuits against districts by entities with motivations contrary to God’s Word 

 Presence of explicit and immoral material in our school libraries and curriculum

 That roadblocks to Christian Chaplains in our schools would be eliminated

I Tim 6:20-21 – O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"-- which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you.
