Francis MacNutt has left us many legacies of healng; he prayed for thousands of people and set an example of love and humility that is rarely seen today. He also taught us how to pray; how to pray for others, and how to effectively pray for ourselves. These two prayers that Francis wrote are foundational and are used daily by CHM's prayer ministers, staff and board, as well as those who are trained in CHM's model to Listen, Love and Pray.
PRAYER TO BE SET FREE (To be prayed following ministry)
Lord Jesus, thank you for sharing with us your wonderful ministry of healing and deliverance. Thank you for the healings we have seen and experienced today.
We realize that the sickness and evil we encounter is more than our humanity can bear, so cleanse us of any sadness, negativity or despair that we may have picked up. If our ministry has tempted us to anger, impatience or lust, cleanse us of those temptations and replace them with love, joy and peace.
If any evil spirits have attached themselves to us or oppressed us in any way, we command you, spirits of earth, air, fire, water, the netherworld or the satanic forces of nature, to depart—now—and go straight to Jesus Christ for him to deal with you as he will.
Come Holy Spirit: renew us—fill us anew with your power, your life and your joy. Strengthen us where we have felt weak and clothe us with your light. Fill us with life. Lord Jesus, please send your holy angels to minister to us and our families—guard us and protect us from all sickness, harm and accidents. (Give us a safe trip home.)
We praise you now and forever, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and we ask these things in Jesus’ Holy Name that he may be glorified. Amen.
A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION (To be prayed before ministry)
In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of his Cross and his Blood, we bind up the power of any evil spirits and command them not to block our prayers. We bind up the powers of earth, air, water, fire, the netherworld and the satanic forces of nature.
We break any curses, hexes or spells sent against us and declare them null and void. We break the assignments of any spirits sent against us and send them to Jesus to deal with them as he will. Lord, we ask you to bless our enemies by sending your Holy Spirit to lead them to repentance and conversion.
Furthermore, we bind all interaction and communication in the world of evil spirits as it affects us and our ministry.
We ask for the protection of the shed blood of Jesus Christ over ____.
Thank you, Lord, for your protection and send your angels, especially St. Michael, the Archangel, to help us in the battle. We ask you to guide us in our prayers: share with us your Spirit’s power and compassion. Amen.
