Day-28 Setting The Captives Free

Jesus left His disciples with a job to do, “go and make disciples.” Christ’s call is still the same today. However the problem is, “the whole world lies in [the power of] the evil one,” 1 John 5:19. Proclaiming liberty in Jesus Name through prayer and worship, is part of helping to set the captives free. The powers of darkness are weakened through your prayers and this begins to clear the way for the captive one to respond the gospel.

Prayer:
(for unsaved family members) Dear Jesus, thank You that Your blood has purchased salvation for ___________________(name of family members). I rejoice that You seek after the sheep that have gone astray.

Jesus, You are the Light of the world and I ask that Your Light would pierce through the darkness that surrounds _______________, and that Your kindness would lead them to repentance. I proclaim that nothing is too difficult for You. I bind every spirit of deception in Jesus Name; I take authority over every spirit that is feeding addictions.

I know that You purchased liberty for the captives, and I lift up Your Name as the banner of salvation over______________’s life. Your blood bought their freedom and so I declare peace through Jesus with God the Father. Let Your holy angels take action and Your precious Holy Spirit, bring this lost sheep into Your dear care.
