Forty Days of Prayer for Education: Day 20

Section 4: You Have Power

Join with us today and pray our prepared prayer on page 38 from the FORTY DAYS OF PRAYER FOR EDUCATION free eBook or pray independently from our focus scripture, 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 AMP and enjoy the accompanying song entitled, "Power in the Blood" by Amy Grant.

As you continue in prayer, let the Holy Spirit lead you to scripture concerning the power of God that has been released to you through His blood, His word and His name. Write these scriptures down and commit them to memory. As you face trials and obstacles this year, recall His Word to mind and rest assured that our God is faithful and is mighty to save and deliver. 


ACTIVATE THE POWER WITHIN

though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man.  The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
2 Corinthians 10: 3-4 AMP


Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for arming us with strength through the power of Your Holy Spirit and the promise of Your Word. Thank You for training our hands for battle. Thank You for being our Shield and Rock. 

Today we pray that we will activate Your power within us. Lord, as we plug into You as our power source, may we be willing to release miracles into the lives of our students. 
Increase our boldness and belief to declare and decree freedom for our students. 
Lead us into battle as we face students who are being attacked and overcome by sickness and spirits such as ADHD, defiance, rebellion, poverty, chemical imbalances in their brains and physical ailments in their bodies.

We will shout aloud, "With God we will gain the victory and He will trample down our enemies." May we never underestimate Your power and Your willingness to use us to show that power.

In Jesus' name,

-Amen
