The Holy Family Prayer

The Holy Family Prayer

JESUS, Son of God and Son of Mary, bless our family. Graciously inspire in us the unity, peace, and mutual love that you found in your own family in the little town of Nazareth.

MARY, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, nourish our family with your faith and your love. Keep us close to your Son, Jesus, in all our sorrows and joys.

JOSEPH, Foster-father to Jesus, guardian and spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm. Help us in all times of discouragement or anxiety.

HOLY FAMILY OF NAZARETH, make our family one with you. Help us to be instruments of peace. Grant that love, strengthened by grace, may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which our families sometimes pass. May we always have God at the center of our hearts and homes until we are all one family, happy and at peace in our true home with you. Amen.

PRAYER FOR PROTECTION AGAINST EVIL

Giving all Praise, Glory and Honour, to God the Father and our Lor,and Saviour Yeshua  the Messiah for another beautiful New day of a New Life...Thank you

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray this prayer in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind, rebuke and bring to no effect; all division, discord, disunity, strife, wrath, murder, criticism, condemnation, pride, envy, jealously, gossip, slander, evil speaking, complaining, lying, false teaching, false gifts, false manifestations, lying signs and wonders, poverty, fear of lack, fear of spirits, deceiving spirits, religious spirits, hindering spirits, retaliatory spirits, occult spirits, witchcraft spirits (including Jezebel, Delilah, and Apollyon the Destroyer), spirits of antichrist and all familiar and territorial spirits. I bind all curses that have been spoken against me.

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I am God's property. Satan, you are bound from my family, my mind, my body, my home, and my finances. I confess that I am healed and whole. I flourish, am long lived, stable, durable, incorruptible, fruitful, virtuous, full of peace, patience and love. Whatsoever I set my hands to do shall prosper for God supplies all my needs. I have all authority over Satan, all demons, and beasts of the field. God, I pray for the ministry You have for me.

Anoint me God for all you have called me to do for You. I call forth divine appointments, open doors of opportunity; God ordained encounters and ministry positions. I claim a hedge of protection, by the Precious Blood of Jesus, around myself, spouse and children (names), throughout this day and night. I ask You God, in the name of Jesus, to dispatch angels to surround me, my spouse, my children,godchildren, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, today and everyday, and to put them throughout my house and around our cars, souls and bodies. I call on Your holy angels to protect my house from any intrusion and to protect me and my family from any harmful demonic or other physical or mental attacks. I ask all of this in the name of Jesus. "God indeed is my savior; I am confident and unafraid. My strength and my courage is the Lord, and He has been my Savior" (Isaiah 12:2 ).
Amen!

YOU CAN'T RECEIVE THE EUCHARIST IF:

You can’t receive the Eucharist if you’ve:

1) Missed a weekend or Holy Day Mass without a valid reason
2) Having sex outside of marriage, with yourself (masturbation) or someone else
3) desecrated the Eucharist
4) haven’t been to confession in a year
5) Use artificial birth control – condoms, pills, patches, IUD’s, etc
6) sponsor or help in any way with an abortion or any destruction of an embryo
7) Murder
8) Hate/Anger
9) Lust after someone
10) Pride, Greed, Sloth, Envy

etc. etc. The list is not exhaustive, and any sin that we have meditated on before hand, understood its gravity and still chosen to do it can be a deadly sin.

Note:   Numbers 8 through 10 would depend mostly upon the gravity of the sin.

C.C.C. 1857    For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: “Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent.”131

1 Corinthians 11:27  27 Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

Don’t step out of bounds…and by all means…if you do…get back in bounds through confession! Don’t desecrate the Eucharist and receive it as some sort of prize you’ve earned simply by showing up for Mass!

POPE FRANCIS' NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

PRAYER FOR JUSTICE

O God, we pray for all those in our world
who are suffering from injustice:
because of their race, color, or religion;
for those imprisoned
for working for the relief of oppression;
for those who are hounded
for speaking the inconvenient truth;
for those tempted to violence
as a cry against overwhelming hardship;
for those deprived of reasonable health and education;
for those suffering from hunger and famine;
for those too weak to help themselves
and who have no one else to help them;
for the unemployed who cry out
for work but do not find it.

We pray for anyone of our acquaintance
who is personally affected by injustice.
Forgive us, Lord, if we unwittingly share in the conditions
or in a system that perpetuates injustice.
Show us how we can serve your children
and make your love practical by washing their feet.

(Mother Teresa of Calcutta)

ASK GOD TO BRING JUSTICE AND MERCY THROUGH PRAYER TO REVERSE UNJUST SITUATIONS

Are you experiencing unjust situation right now?

Here’s the prayer to bring forth righteousness and justice to reverse your situation:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before You in Jesus’ name. Father, thank You for seeing everything that is going on in my life. Thank You for always taking care of me. I know You have a good plan for my life, and You have promised that all things will work together for my good because I love You and am called according to Your purpose.

Father, You see what’s going on in my life. You see _____, and You see that this is unjust. And Father, righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne.

So Father, because You are righteous and just, I know that You are ready to move on my behalf. I believe that You are ready to reverse this situation for me according to Your Word.

So Father, I ask in Jesus’ name first that You, the God of all comfort, would comfort me during this season.

I charge the angels of God to minister to me right now in Jesus’ name. I bind away every lie, plot, and trick of the enemy off of my life and I loose healing, wholeness, life, truth, and holy vindication into my life.

I speak to the hidden things the Father desires to reveal, and I command them to be revealed right now in Jesus’ name. I decree the light of the Holy Spirit must shine into this situation right now.

I decree divine reversal for the cause of righteousness, truth, and justice right now in Jesus’ name. I decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgment I shall condemn. This is my heritage, for I am a servant of the Lord. My righteousness is of the Lord.

I decree that nothing shall in any way harm me or my family. 

I decree in the name of Jesus that the enemy may come against me one way, but he’ll flee before me seven ways. I decree that this giant must fall right now in Jesus’ name and that this situation works out for my good.

I call forth promotion for myself because of this fight. I decree that this situation will result in blessing AND INCREASE for me in Jesus’ Name.

I speak to the finished works the Father prepared before the foundation of the world for me to walk in, and I command them to manifest right now in Jesus’ name. I decree in Jesus’ name that, like the grain of wheat that falls to the ground and dies, but then rises again and bears much fruit, I also will bear much fruit because of this season of death and the subsequent resurrection that will come.

I plead the blood of Jesus over my relationships.

I enforce, impart, and release unity, forgiveness, healing, transparency, the Father’s love, and mercy into all my relationships right now in Jesus’ name.

I pluck out every arrow the enemy has shot into me and my family right now in Jesus’ name, and I cast those arrows to the ground useless and of no effect. I plead the blood of Jesus over those wounds, and I release healing into them in Jesus’ name.

I bless the situation I am going through with fully performing God’s purpose for it in Jesus’ name, and with bringing forth the great victory that Jesus purchased on the cross for me. Let it be manifest and completely done now. I bless myself with supernatural empowerment that will enable me to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

And now I speak to this situation and I say:

• Forgiveness of God, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Will of God, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Vengeance of God, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Mercy of God, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• New beginnings from God, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Love of God, be revealed and come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Kingdom of God, come forth in this situation in Jesus’ name!
• Restoration of God, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Peace of God which passes all understanding, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Comfort of the Holy Spirit, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Divine reversal according to the Father’s plan, come forth in Jesus’ name!
• Honor from God, come forth in Jesus’ name!

I am calling upon the Lord, and He will answer me. He is with me in this trouble. He will deliver me and honor me.

I speak to this situation and I say: Let the valleys be brought up. Let the mountains be brought low. Let the crooked places be made straight. Let the rough places be made smooth. Let the glory of the Lord be revealed, and let all flesh see it together.

Thank You, Father, for hearing and answering my prayer. I bless You for it, and I give You all the glory for everything You are going to do.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE DECREES OF GOD'S WORD CONTAINED IN THIS PRAYER BE SPOKEN OUT LOUD 

A POWERFUL PRAYER ASKING GOD TO DISCIPLE OUR CHILDREN

"All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children” (Isaiah 54:13).

Do you ever worry about your children? Do you get concerned about their welfare, their decisions, and the state of their hearts?

When times are hard, go to the Lord and ask God Himself to disciple your children. Say this prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You in Jesus’ name. Father, thank You for hearing my prayer right now. Thank You for loving me and knowing me. Thank You for allowing me to come boldly before Your throne of grace, that I may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Father, Your Word says that You Yourself will disciple and teach my children. Your Word says that, when you do this, great will be the peace and shalom of my children.

Lord, my children need this. I can’t fix them, Lord. I can’t help them. I have tried and tried and tried. But Father, I can’t do it.

But Holy Father, my most wonderful Father God, YOU CAN.

So Father, in Jesus’ name, I lift up my children to You right now. I choose to release them to You. Father, please take them out of my hands. They are Yours.

Father, I ask in Jesus’ name that You Yourself would take my children under Your wing. Disciple them, Lord. Teach them. Give them wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Fill them with the intimate knowledge of Your glory. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and Your anointing.

Father, in Jesus’ name, give my children inspiration to seek You first and seek Your Kingdom. Fill them  with Your motivation and courage and hope. Cause them to be sensitive to You and Your Presence.

Give them wisdom, Lord–wisdom from above, which is pure and peaceable and undefiled and willing to yield and full of mercy and good fruit. Give them wisdom by experience. Help them to learn from their experiences and from the experience of others.

Father, I ask in Jesus’ name that You would give my children understanding. Fill them with Your Word and keep them from sinning against You. Let them receive Your great love for them, love You back with the same love You love them with, and love others the way You do. Let them love righteousness and hate lawlessness. Make them humble and moldable and teachable, Father. Increase their capacity for prayer, fasting, and Your Word. Give my children a heart to worship You like Jesus has.

Father, in Jesus’ name, I call forth the finished works You have prepared before the foundation of the world for my children, and I command them to manifest right now. I speak to my children and I say:

Will of God, come forth in Jesus’ name and be done in my children on earth as it is in Heaven!

Love of God, be revealed in their hearts in Jesus’ name!

Peace of God, joy of the Lord, righteousness of Christ, come forth in my children in Jesus’ name!

Kingdom of God, come in my children in Jesus’ name!

Holiness, purity, revelation, and glory of God, come forth in my children in Jesus’ name right now!

Father, my children are Yours. Thank You for discipling them according to Your promise. Thank You for bringing them into great peace and shalom. Thank You that my children will walk in total healing, total restoration, and the fullness of Your perfect will for them … because You Yourself will do it.

Thank You, Father. I give You all the praise. In Jesus’ name, amen.

If you will pray this radical promise back to God, God Himself will disciple Your children and bring them into great shalom.

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father, 

Who art in heaven, 

Hallowed be Thy Name. 

Thy Kingdom come. 

Thy Will be done, 

on earth as it is in Heaven. 

Give us this day our daily bread. 

And forgive us our trespasses, 

as we forgive 

those who trespass against us. 

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. 

Amen.
