Father, we come before you boldly and confidently, knowing that You are not a man that You should lie and that You watch over Your Word to perform it. Therefore, Father, we bring before You those who are called handicapped and ill — mentally and physically. Father, by the authority of Your Word, we know without a doubt that it is Your will for these people — babies, children and adults — to be made completely whole and restored in the name of Jesus.

We know, Father, that Satan, the god of this world, comes against Your handiwork. We know that You are the God of miracles, the God of love, power and might. Through Your redemptive plan, what Jesus did on the cross and in the pit of hell for us, we, Your people, are redeemed from the curse of the law. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places far above all satanic forces.

So we bring these people before Your throne of grace who have been attacked mercilessly — mentally and physically — by Satan and his cohorts. We intercede in behalf of them and their families and loved ones.

Satan, we speak to you and to the principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and wicked spirits in heavenly places, and we bind you and loose them from your assignments against these people in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus. You can no longer harass or hinder these people who have the opportunity this day to make Jesus their Lord and Savior. We bind doubt, unbelief, fear, tradition, discouragement, depression and oppression from operating against the parents, children and individuals involved.

Father, we pray for born-again, Spirit-filled people in positions of authority — administrators, teachers, doctors, nurses, orderlies, attendants and volunteers. We pray that men and women of integrity, blameless and complete in Your sight, remain in these positions, but that the wicked be cut off and the treacherous be rooted out. Father, we pray for laborers of the harvest to go forth preaching the good news to the lost and to the Body of Christ.

We pray that You quicken these people to Your Word — that they be filled with wisdom and revelation knowledge concerning the integrity of Your Word, speaking faith-filled words and doing faith-filled actions. We pray for the infilling of the Holy Spirit, divine health, the fruit of the recreated human spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and deliverance.

May they know that Jesus is their Source of every consolation, comfort and encouragement and that they are to be sanctified spirit, soul and body. We confess that they are redeemed from the curse of the law — redeemed from every sickness, disease, malady, affliction, defect, deficiency, deformity, injury and every demon.

We speak healing to unborn infants in the wombs of mothers for Lord, children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward (Ps. 127:3).

We speak restoration to damaged brain cells and activation of dormant brain cells. We speak normal intellect for one's age. We speak creative miracles to the parts of the body. We speak healing to all wounds. We speak words of life and say that they shall live in victory in this life and not die. We speak perfect soundness of mind and wholeness in body and spirit.

We say that tongues are loosed and speech is distinct. We say ears hear and eyes see in the name of Jesus. We say demons are cast out, bowing to the name of Jesus. We speak deliverance to bodies and minds, for You, Lord God, are the Help of their countenance and the Lifter of those bowed down — the joy of the Lord is their strength and stronghold!

We commission God's ministering spirits to go forth as they hearken to God's Word to provide the necessary help for and assistance to those we are praying for!

Father, no word of Yours is void of the power that it takes to cause itself to come to pass! We establish Your Word on this earth, for it is already forever settled in heaven. Nothing is too hard or impossible for You. All things are possible to us who believe. We pray for more intercessors to stand with us. Let our prayers be set forth as incense before You — a sweet fragrance to You! Praise the Lord!

In Your name we pray, amen.
