statements
a christian home is a home which the
lord is a welcome guest
a christian home is a home in which the
lord jesus
is given the chief place a christian
home
is a home in which the word of god is
loved
and honored and in which the voice of
prayer
is often heard and regarding these
statements
may i ask you the question
who is a welcome guest in your home
[Music]
is the lord jesus welcome in your house
and the second question is do you give
the lord jesus chief place in your home
quite simply is god first within the
walls of your home
is he number one is he a priority
and the last question is is the word of
god
loved and honored in your home
if walls could speak what would they say
if we could ask them
is the voice of prayer heard often in
this house
what would they say if we asked if this
house
was one in which the word of god lived
and was spoken
the home can affect many things in your
life
and that's the reason why we need to be
praying for our homes
we need to bless sanctify and cleanse
our places of rest within the blood of
jesus
so join me lift your faith
and pray for your own home
let's agree for restoration let's agree
for peace
and protection let's agree for increase
in favor let's pray
and agree for the presence of god to be
found
resident in our homes pray that the
spirit of god
is always will always be found in your
home
and with this understanding let us pray
lord you are a mighty and compassionate
father
i enter your presence with sincere
gratitude
for your providence over my life
i am thankful for you keeping me and my
family together
i am thankful for your wonderful care
and tender mercies
that you unconditionally extend to my
family
and me i bless your name because you
are worthy to be praised
in you i know there is protection
only in you jesus i know there is
abundance
and joy and so i invite you into my home
i welcome you in dear god today
i come seeking your powerful protection
over my
life and my home i know that spiritual
warfare is raging around me
because of the evil in this world and
your word reminds me that
we wrestle not against flesh and blood
but against principalities
against powers against spiritual
wickedness
in high places and lord this
highlights the need i have for your
heavenly protection
i cannot build and protect my home alone
i need
you i cannot be complacent and leave
spiritual doors
open so that the devil can creep in
so i ask that you form a hedge of fire
let nothing enter my house that is not
from
you i refuse to let fear become my
companion
help me to trust in you and not to worry
about my
safety and the security of my household
because
i am under the care of jehovah
watch over me each and every day
watch over my coming in and going out
[Music]
the world is full of selfishness and
cruelty
i look around and ask the question who
can i turn to
but you mighty god where else shall i
find protection from the devourer
your word assures me in psalms 34
7 which says the angel of the lord
encamps
all around those who fear him and
delivers them
o taste and see that the lord is good
blessed is the man who trusts
in him thank you for your word that
offers such blessed hope
your words are sure and comfort my
spirit
at this time i need your angels to
encamp
around me and my home and to offer
divine protection
as i put my trust in you
lord please cover the doors and windows
of my home
and protect me from all the forces of
darkness
keep my home safe from negative
influences
and may i only take into my home those
things that are
wholesome and of a good report
extend your divine protection to all who
will enter my home
lord jesus i pray that you guard my
steps
each day protect me in all my endeavors
and give me the strength to accomplish
my daily goals
lord i am comforted by proverbs 18
verse 10 which says the name of the lord
is a strong tower the righteous
run to it and are safe
and so i call upon your name lord jesus
i call on the name of jesus christ today
i ask you to be my strong tower i know
that you can keep me and my household
safe
and that you wish above all things that
i will prosper
and be in good health i pray that you
will deliver me today
as you surround me with your glorious
presence
your presence which offers supernatural
protection around my home
and keep evil far from me
many times my steps falter and i
unintentionally place myself in harm's
way
but i pray that your presence will
remain with me
teach me your way so that i will walk in
it and not stray oh god
[Music]
even as my enemies plot to bring me down
and
even if those i trust seeking to bring
me harm
i commit myself to you into your hands
i take comfort in the promise you gave
me in isaiah 54
17 which says no weapon that is formed
against me
shall prosper and every tongue that
shall rise against me in judgment
you shall condemn lord i pray that in my
home
may be a house that seeks to serve you
wholeheartedly
when i am tempted to stray or when i
lose my way
i pray that the holy ghost may convict
me
and return me to your presence where
safety abounds
strengthen me so that i will be able to
withstand the storms of life
and the challenges that i face daily
grant me overcoming power so that i will
not allow fear and anxiety
to hold me back i put my trust in
you as i seek your blessings of divine
protection
today holy spirit help me to find
joy in your presence mighty god as you
also protect my peace of mind teach me
so that i will understand that you will
never leave me
nor forsake me and help me to find peace
that surpasses
all understanding as i meditate on your
word
i pray for this perfect peace that you
have promised to dwell in my house
and cast out all of my fears and keep my
mind
stayed on you cover me
lord and fill my heart with hope
help me to take comfort in your plans
plans to prosper me
and not to harm me to give me hope
and a future your word in jeremiah 17
verse 7 reminds me that blessed is the
man who trusts in the lord
and whose hope is in the lord
for he shall be like a tree planted by
the water
which spreads out its roots by the river
and will
not fear when he comes but its leaves
will be green and will not be anxious
in the year of drought nor will cease
from yielding fruit
and today i claim this blessing over my
life
and my household as you protect me
i stand on your promise mighty god
you will keep me like a tree planted by
the water
and so i put my hope in you today
i declare that your presence will be
with me
and your divine protection will keep me
from
all harm i thank you for hearing this
prayer
i thank you for watching over my home
for the many blessings
you have given me i pray this in your
holy name
in jesus name i pray amen
[Music]
you
