In the mighty name of Jesus, I come before You on behalf of my family. I thank You that You are a Father of love and that Your love surrounds us where we are. I thank You, Jesus, that while we were yet sinners, You loved us and gave Yourself for us (Romans 5:8). I believe, Lord, that Your love reaches even to the deepest, darkest places where my loved ones may have wandered and I rest in knowing that You are not caught off guard by those wanderings. You see the end from the beginning and have made a way for them to come home. I thank you that they are not alone. I call this prodigal home in Jesus' name and I pray that they would know the length, the width, the depth and the height of the love You have for them (Ephesians 3:18). I decree and declare that it is Your goodness that draws them to repentance. Father, I thank You that my family is never beyond Your reach or out of Your sight. Your love reaches to the highest high and the lowest low and You are gathering from the north, south, east and west those who will call upon Your name.
I stand in agreement with your word that the blessing flows to the thousandth generation for those who love and obey You and I decree that over my children and grandchildren today (Exodus 20:6; Deuteronomy 7:9). I decree that the fruit of my womb is blessed coming in and blessed going out. I ask that You, Lord, would grant that the enemies who rise up against them would be defeated before them in Jesus name and that my family would be blessed in the land You are giving them. I decree and declare that they are established by You as a holy people and that will walk in prosperity. I decree that all they put their hand to do will prosper and that they are the head and not the tail they are above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28).
I decree and declare that You have plans for my family plans to prosper them and not to harm them; plans to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). In Jesus' name, I bind, gag and paralyze anything that sets itself against that future and hope and I loose that future and hope to rest fully upon them now. I decree that no weapon formed against my family shall prosper and I condemn every tongue that rises against them in judgment this day in Jesus' name (Isaiah 54:17). I decree that You are a refuge and fortress for those who dwell under the shadow of Your wing. I decree that You have covered my family with Your feathers and that You will be their shield so that they will not fear the terror by night or the arrows by day, nor pestilence or plague. A thousand may fall at their side and ten thousand at their right hand, but it will not come near them. The glory of the Lord is their rear guard. In Jesus' name, I loose the angelic to go and to guard them in all their ways and that they would lift them up in their hands so that they would not strike their foot against a stone. No plague will come near their dwelling (Psalm 91).
I pray, Holy Spirit, that You would hover over them and that they would come to know, and walk in the fullness of who You've created them to be and they would lay hold of their inheritance in you. I call forth their destinies in Jesus' name. I decree over them that You have blessed them with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm (Ephesians 1:3) and I ask that You would give them the spirit of Wisdom and Revelation so that they would come to know You more deeply and intimately. I pray also that the eyes of their understanding would be enlightened so that they might know the hope to which You have called them, the glorious inheritance in the saints and the great power available for them as they believe (Ephesians 1:18). I continue to pray that You fill them with the knowledge of your will through all wisdom and understand in order that they may live a life worthy of You and that they might please You in every way, bearing fruit in every good work and growing daily in the knowledge of You (Colossians 1:9).
Father, for those who don't know you yet, I pray that you would reveal Yourself to them all through the day and into the night seasons. I ask that you give them dreams, visions, and angelic encounters…that Your tangible presence would destroy all lies and false beliefs they may have been exposed to. I call them out of their bondage and to the cross and the covenant You entered into for them. I ask that they encounter Your heart, Your shed blood; and be wrecked by your mercy and love, and from that they'll never be the same.
I ask that You heal my family's minds…heal their hearts…heal their emotions. I call forth those fragmented pieces of their hearts that have been shattered by disappointment and grief and I decree over them that you came to bind up the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3; Isaiah 61:1; Psalm 34:18). I decree that those that are held prisoners would be loosed and the captives set free in Jesus' name, and that they be made whole and complete in You (Luke 4:18-19) I ask that their mourning be turned to dancing (Psalm 30:11-12), and the spirit of heaviness would be exchanged for the oil of gladness (Psalm 61:3); that the joy of the Lord would be their strength (Nehemiah 8:10)
I stand in this; that You began a good work in them and will be faithful to carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). I commit my family to you, Lord, to keep because I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded that you are able to hold, protect, pursue, heal, prosper, deliver and save to the utmost those that I love so much (2 Timothy 1:12). As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15).
I honor You, Lord, and give You all the glory and praise for what You've done and will continue to do. In Jesus' name Amen.
