A Deliverance Prayer from Paul

Begin step one with a deliverance prayer.  The most powerful prayer we could possibly share with you is from Paul's letter to the Ephesians.   Let this prayer wash over you as you read, believing that these scriptures will bring you the power to overcome all obstacles in your life, whether it is addiction, financial problems, marital battles, oppression or depression.  The power is in KNOWING HIM BETTER and knowing who you are IN CHRIST.  Step One:  Take Your Seat In Christ.

Ephesians 1: 6-23

I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may KNOW HIM BETTER.

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (NIV)

The Book of Ephesians tells us everything we need to know about overcoming spiritual warfare and reaching our highest potential as Christians.

In chapters 1-3, the phrase "In Christ" is used repeatedly.  The word "In" is a position of rest.   Resting In Christ is the only place where we will begin to see the power that Paul speaks of in this deliverance prayer.  		Recommended Reading:  Sit-Walk-Stand by Watchman Nee.  A tiny book packed full of victory, all based on the book of Ephesians.  The first step to freedom is to Sit (In Christ)!

Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

To help you absorb this, move from the deliverance prayer, to the power and glory that belongs to each and every Christian; Victory in the Cross!
