Below is a collection of personalized scriptures, woven together as a powerful decree to pray back to God. Really, it’s all scripture. It speaks to holiness, character, blessing, protection, power, and more. Pray it expectantly and regularly – God answers when His righteous ones faithfully pray back His word to Him in spirit and truth. This has yielded tremendous fruit in my life, per Proverbs 18:21. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man indeed avails much (James 5:16).

1 John 5:14-15 says, “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.” Amen, let’s pray!

The Prayer

Praise the Lord, all people on earth, praise His glory and might. I proclaim how great You are and tell of the wonderful things You have done, God.

Thank you, Lord, that it is no longer I who live, but Christ in me. With unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, I am being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Having been raised with Christ and seated with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, I seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. I have the mind of Christ, and I set my mind on things above, not on things on the earth. I fix my eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. I lay aside every weight and sin that so easily entangles, running with endurance the race set before me, fixing my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith. For I died, and my life is hidden with Christ in God.

Blessed be the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, who has granted me dominion over the earth, and who strengthens me to overcome all the power of the enemy—nothing shall harm me! You are a burning fire shut up in my bones; I am unable to contain your name! I know my God and I shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

Blessed are my eyes, for they see; and my ears, for they hear. I open my mouth wide and You fill it. I am Your sheep, I hear Your voice, and You know me, and I follow You. Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. Thank you for opening the eyes of your servant that I may see; for enlightening the eyes of my heart in order that I would know the hope to which You have called me, the riches of Your glorious inheritance for Your holy servant. I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what You will say to me.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. I call to You, and You will answer me, and show me great and mighty things, which I do not know, for the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to me. In all my ways I acknowledge You, and You shall direct my paths. You will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go; You will counsel me with Your eye upon me. I ask You for wisdom, and you give it to me generously without reproach.

I shall do the works Jesus has done on earth, and I shall do even greater things than these. I shall heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out devils. You have poured out Your Spirit upon me, and I shall prophesy, I shall see visions, and I shall dream dreams. I shall go on to visions and revelations of the Lord, and like Samuel, I will tell people all that is in their heart, for the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon me, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. He Who reveals secrets, give me knowledge and skill in all learning and superior wisdom, understanding in all visions and dreams. Empower me to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. For You reveal deep and hidden things; You know what lies in darkness, and light dwells with You.

I will stand firm, with the belt of truth buckled around my waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. I will take up the shield of faith, with which I will extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And I will take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Now thanks be to God who always leads me in triumph in Christ, and through me diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. Blessings to the One who gives me the power of death and life in the tongue, blessings to the all consuming fire who possesses me by his perfect Love, which casts out all fear. Lord, Your lips drip as the honeycomb; honey and milk are under Your tongue; and the fragrance of Your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. Oh, I taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed am I who puts my trust in Him!

I thank you, Lord, that my eye is single, my whole body full of light. That I am filled with love, joy, peace, forebearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. That I will seek first the kingdom of God and Your righteousness, and all other things will be added to me.

Thank You, Lord, that You will grant me abundant prosperity, and I will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. Lord, my heart will keep Your commandments – and I will love the Lord my God with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my strength and with all my mind, and I will love my neighbour as myself. This will add length to my days, years and peace to my life, for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death, and he who lives believing in You will never die; I believe this. I thank you Lord that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, an undeserved curse will not come to rest, and every tongue which rises against me in judgment I shall condemn, for He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.

I shall be still and know that You are God. I shall wait on the Lord, and my strength shall be renewed; I shall mount up with wings like eagles, I shall run and not be weary, I shall walk and not faint. Guard my heart, Lord, for everything I do flows from it.

Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word. Lord, I have seen well, for You are watching over Your word to perform it. So shall Your word be that goes forth from Your mouth; it shall not return to You void, but it shall accomplish what You please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which You sent it.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come, the whole earth is filled with your glory! Here I am, Lord. Send me! I decree this and it will be established to me – in Jesus’ name, so be it and amen!
