INTERCESSORS FOR A RIGHTEOUS NATION

Intercessors For A Righteous Nation

Ann Kramer, Founder and President
Thus says the Lord, In an acceptable and favorable time I have heard and answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you: and I will preserve you and give you for a covenant to the people to raise up and establish the land [from its present state of ruin] and to apportion and cause them to inherit the desolate [moral wastes of heathenism, their] heritages, saying to those who are bound, Come forth, and to those who are in [spiritual] darkness, Show yourselves [come into the light of the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS]. Isaiah 49:8-9.

Dear Intercessor: God is a GIVER. He loves to bless His children. Since the beginning of time, He has been looking for a people He could trust, upon whom He could lavish His blessings. However, every time He has poured out prosperity, we have been quick to forget Who made us to prosper. We have always begun to trust more in the gift than the Giver. God has called the believers of every nation to be a light to the nations and bring salvation to the ends of the earth. (Isaiah 49:6). Obviously, in order to facilitate this mission, it is going to take large amounts of finances. God is desiring to bring forth a generation in this hour that will, lay our gold in the dust, considering it of little worth, and make the Almighty our gold and precious silver treasure. (Job 22:24-25). When the Lord finds a generation that He can bless without that blessing destroying them, we will see the divine destinies of nations begin to be fulfilled, and we will be released to take the gospel of the kingdom to the ends of the earth. Matthew 13:44 tells us that when we see the treasure in the field, in our JOY we will sell all to possess the field. God is revealing His loveliness in such a powerful way in this hour that it will outshine every earthly treasure. We are living in the day when the Lord is releasing a BRIDAL LOVE upon his Body. Everything that this world has to offer will pale in comparison to His revealed glory and majesty. Scripture Prayers for Prosperity was compiled in this spirit. Our motivation for prosperity cannot be to consume His blessings upon ourselves, but to realize, even as Abraham did, that we are blessed so that we can BE a blessing. It is important to pray these scriptures over ourselves and over the nations for ONE PURPOSEto see the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ! (Revelation11:15).

SCRIPTURE PRAYERS FOR PROSPERITY

Father, I come to you today repenting for any misuse of the blessings that You have placed in my hands. Please forgive any area where I have been an unfaithful steward. I stand as a priest over all of my ancestors and remit any and all sins that would have perpetuated curses of poverty or debt in my family. Do not lay those sins to their charge. I now apply the crucified flesh and blood of Jesus, Who became a curse for me, and I declare an end to all related curses. I declare that from this day forward, ALL that I have belongs to You, Father. Thank You, Father, that as I speak Your Word over my finances today, Your angelic warriors are hearkening to the sound of my voice to perform that which I speak. (Psalm 103:20). Thank You, Father, that You have put Your words in my mouth, and You are alert and active, watching over Your Word to PERFORM it. (Jeremiah 1:9, 12). Thank You, Father, for Your Word, which promises that WHATEVER I ask for in prayer, believing, it is granted to me. Therefore, I receive as my PRESENT POSSESSION the things, which I am praying today over my finances, being FULLY ASSURED that as I am praying YOUR WORD, I am praying YOUR WILL. (Mark 11:24; I John 5:14-15). Thank You, Father, that as I speak Your Word over my finances, it is like a FIRE consuming ALL of those areas in my life that are inconsistent with Your principles concerning finances which cannot endure the test of Your Word. I call forth the HAMMER of Your Word to break in pieces the rock of MOST STUBBORN RESISTANCE. (Jeremiah 23:29). Thank You, Father, that as I speak Your Word over my finances, it shall not return to You void without producing any effectuselessbut it is accomplishing that which YOU please and purpose, and it is PROSPERING in the thing for which it is sent. (Isaiah 55:11). Thank You, Father, that because I bring ALL of my tithesthe whole tenth of my incomeinto Your storehouse, there is FOOD in Your house. You are opening the windows of heaven and pouring me out such a bountiful blessing, that there is not room enough to receive it. You are rebuking the devourer for my sake. You will not destroy the fruits of my ground, neither shall my vine drop its fruit before the time in the field. All nations shall call me happy and blessed. (Malachi 3:10-12). Thank You, Father, that because my eyes wait for You expectantly, You are giving me my food in due season. You are opening Your hand to satisfy me with favor. (Psalm 145:15-16). Thank You, Father, that You are saving me. You are sending PROSPERITY, and You are giving me SUCCESS. (Psalm 118:25).

Father, I declare that because I believe in and rely on YOUNOT frail, weak human fleshand because YOU are my HOPE and CONFIDENCE, I am like a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river. I shall not see and fear when heat comes, but my leaf is green. I am not anxious or careful in the year of drought, nor do I cease from yielding fruit. (Jeremiah 17:5-8). Thank You, Father, that You are teaching me to PROFIT. You are leading me by the way that I should go. Therefore, I declare that because I hearken to Your commandments, my PEACE and PROSPERITY are like a flowing river. My righteousness is like the abundant waves of the sea. (Isaiah 48:17-18). Thank You, Father, that because my house belongs to YOU, You are encamping about it as a guard or garrison, so that NONE shall march back and forth, and NO OPPRESSOR or DEMANDING COLLECTOR shall again over-run me, for NOW Your eyes are upon me. (Zechariah 9:8). Father, I declare that I am BEAUTIFUL and PROSPEROUS in Your sight. You think of me as a crown of glory and honoran exceedingly beautiful royal diademin Your hand. (Isaiah 61:3). Father, I declare that I am called Your priest. People speak of me as Your minister. I am eating the WEALTH of nations, and the glory once that of my captorsthe devil and all of his hordes is MINE. For my former shame I have a two-fold recompense. Instead of dishonor and reproach, I am rejoicing in my portion. I possess DOUBLE what I have forfeited. Everlasting joy is mine. Because of Your everlasting covenant with me, my offspring shall be known among the nations, and my descendants among the peoples. ALL who see them in their PROSPERITY will recognize and acknowledge that THEY are the people whom the Lord has blessed. (Isaiah 61:6-9). Father, I declare that because I listen diligently to Your voice, being watchful to do all of Your commandments, ALL of these blessings are coming upon me and overtaking me. I am blessed in the city, I am blessed in the field. Blessed is the fruit of my body, the fruit of my ground, the fruit of my beasts, the increase of my cattle and the young of my flock. Blessed is my basket and kneading trough. I am blessed when I come in and when I go out. You are causing my enemies who rise up against me to be defeated before my face. When they come out against me one way, they flee before me seven ways. You are commanding the blessing upon me in my storehouse, and in ALL that I undertake. You are blessing me in the land, which You have given me. You are establishing me as HOLY unto YOURSELF. All the people of the earth see that I am called by Your Name, and they are afraid of me. You are making me to have a SURPLUS of PROSPERITY through the fruit of my BODY, the fruit of my LIVESTOCK and the fruit of my LAND. You are opening to me Your GOOD TREASURY, the heavens, to give rain on my land in its season, and You are blessing ALL the work of my hands. I am LENDING to many nations, BUT I am NOT BORROWING. You are making me the HEAD and NOT the TAIL. I am ABOVE ONLY and NOT BENEATH. (Deuteronomy 28:1-13).

Father, I make it my ambition and definitely endeavor to live quietly and peacefully, minding my own affairs, and working with my own hands, so that I may bear myself becomingly, be correct and honorable and command the respect of the outside world, being SELF-SUPPORTING, dependent on NOBODY and having need of NOTHING. Because I am DILIGENT, You are making me RICH. Because I am BLESSED by YOU, I am TRULY RICH, and You add NO SORROW with it, NEITHER does TOILING INCREASE it. Therefore, I do not WEARY myself to be RICH. WHATEVER I DOWHATEVER MY TASK, I work at it heartily as something done for YOU and NOT for MEN. I do ALL for Your honor and gloryNOT for the sake of accumulating RICHES. (I Thessalonians 4:11-12, Proverbs 10:4b, Proverbs 10:22, Proverbs 23:4a; I Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 3:23). Thank You, Father, that You are NOT blessing me with abundant increase so that I can consume it upon my own sensual pleasures and abandon myself to soft, prodigal living and the pleasures of self-indulgence and self-gratification, but You are blessing me so that I can BE a BLESSING, dispensing good to OTHERS. Therefore, I declare that I am contributing to the needs of Your people, sharing in the necessities of the saints, and pursuing the practice of hospitality. (James 4:3; James 5:5; Genesis 12:2; Romans 12:13). Thank You, Father, that BY YOUR GRACE, You are making my character and moral disposition FREE from the LOVE of MONEYincluding GREED, AVARICE, LUST and CRAVING for EARTHLY POSSESSIONS. You are making me to be satisfied with my PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES and with WHAT I HAVE. I rest in the assurance that You will not in any way fail me, give me up, nor leave me WITHOUT SUPPORT. You will not in any degree leave me helpless, nor will You forsake me, let me down, or relax Your hold on me. (Hebrews 13:5). Father, I declare that I eat in PLENTY, I am SATISFIED, and I praise Your Name, because You have dealt WONDROUSLY with me. In Your Son, JESUS, I am ENRICHED in EVERY RESPECT. (Joel 2:26; I Corinthians 1:5). Father, I declare that because I have sown generously in order for BLESSING to come to SOMEONE ELSE, I will also REAP GENEROUSLY and WITH BLESSINGS. (II Corinthians 9:6). Thank You, Father, that You take pleasure in and prize me because I am a cheerful, joyous, prompt-to-do-it, wholehearted giver. (II Corinthians 9:7). Father, I declare that I am BLESSED because I have a bountiful eye toward the poor. (Proverbs 22:9). Thank, You, Father, that You are able to make ALL GRACEevery favor and earthly blessing come to me IN ABUNDANCE, so that I may ALWAYS and under ALL circumstances and WHATEVER the need, be SELF-SUFFICIENTenough to require NO AID or SUPPORT and furnished IN ABUNDANCE for every good work and charitable donation. (II Corinthians 9:8).

Father, I declare that because I FEAR You, PROSPERITY and WELFARE are in my house. It is WELL with me because I lend and deal generously. Because I have distributed freely and have given to the poor and needy, my righteousness endures forever and my horn shall be exalted in honor. (Psalm 112:3, 5, 9). Thank You, Father, that You are providing me seed to sow and bread to eat. You are MULTIPLYING my RESOURCES for SOWING, and increasing the fruits of my righteousness. Therefore, I declare that I am ENRICHED in ALL THINGS and in EVERY WAY, so that I can be GENEROUS. Because of my generosity, the saints are supplied with that which is lacking, and they overflow in many cries of thanksgiving to YOU. (II Corinthians 9:10-12). Father, I declare that FIRST and FOREMOST I have given MYSELF to YOU, and THEN to YOUR SERVANTS by Your design and will. Therefore, I disregard my OWN personal interests, and I give as much as I possibly can, putting myself at the disposal of the saints to be directed by Your will. I not only abound and excel in everythingin FAITH, in EXPRESSING MYSELF, in KNOWLEDGE, in ALL ZEAL and my LOVE for the SAINTS, but I also ABOUND and EXCEL in the GRACIOUS WORK of ALMSGIVING. (II Corinthians 8:7). Father, I declare that I am coming progressively to be acquainted with and to recognize more strongly and clearly the GRACE of the Lord Jesus ChristHis kindness, HIS gracious GENEROSITY, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing; in that though He was so VERY RICH, yet for MY SAKE He became so VERY POOR, in order that BY HIS POVERTY I might become ENRICHED and ABUNDANTLY SUPPLIED. Therefore, it is my STRONG DESIRE to contribute to the relief of the saints, and my enthusiastic readiness in DESIRING to contribute is EQUALLED by my COMPLETION of it according to my ability and means. (II Corinthians 8:9-11). Thank You, Father, that YOUR GRACE is enabling me to learn how to be CONTENT satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquietedin WHATEVER state I am. Therefore, I declare that I know how to be ABASED and live humbly in straitened circumstances, and I know also how to enjoy PLENTY and live in ABUNDANCE. I have learned in ANY and ALL circumstances, the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having sufficiency and enough to spare, or going without and being in want. I have strength for ALL things in Your Son, Jesus, Who empowers me. I am ready for ANYTHING and equal to ANYTHING through JESUS, Who infuses inner strength into me. I am SELFSUFFICIENT in CHRIST'S SUFFICIENCY. (Philippians 4:11-13). Father, I declare that I am PROSPERING in EVERY WAY and my body is keeping well to the degree that my SOUL is keeping well and prospering. I do not desire prosperity BEYOND my CHARACTER LEVEL (soul prosperity) to handle it, lest when I have eaten and am full, and have built a goodly house and lived in it, and when my herds and flocks multiply, and my silver and gold are multiplied, my mind and heart would be lifted up, and I would forget You, saying that MY power and the might of MY hand has gotten me this wealth. But, I desire that You would only prosper me to the degree of my INTEGRITY to be a FAITHFUL STEWARD, so that in my prosperity, I would earnestly remember YOU, for it is YOU Who gives me power to get

wealth in order to ESTABLISH Your COVENANT with me. (III John 2; Deuteronomy 8:12-14, 17-18). Father, You have said in Your Word that GODLINESS accompanied with contentment is great and abundant GAINNOT that great and abundant GAIN is GODLINESS. Never allow me to be deceived into thinking that just because I am prospering I must be godly, or that because You are blessing me, I must be in the center of Your will. Grant me the grace to set my affections and ambitions on acquiring GODLINESS with contentmentNOT on acquiring great and abundant GAIN. (I Timothy 6:6). Thank You, Father, that You are bringing me into a GOOD LANDa land in which I shall eat food WITHOUT SHORTAGE and LACK NOTHING. (Deuteronomy 8:7a, 9a). Father, I declare that I am not allowing the cares and anxieties of the world, the distractions of the age, the PLEASURE, DELIGHT, FALSE GLAMOUR and DECEITFULNESS of RICHES, and the CRAVING and PASSIONATE DESIRE for OTHER THINGS to creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, so that it becomes fruitless in my life, but I am ALLOWING the seed of the Word which You speak to my heart to fall on GOOD SOIL. I am RECEIVING, ACCEPTING and WELCOMING it. Your Word is bearing fruit ONE HUNDRED FOLD in my life. (Mark 4:19-20). Father, Your Word says that unless I FORSAKE, RENOUNCE, SURRENDER CLAIM, GIVE UP and SAY GOODBYE to ALL that I have, I CANNOT be Your disciple. So, Father, I give up ALL RIGHTS to call ANYTHING mine. EVERYTHING I HAVE and AM belongs to You. Father, I relinquish fully to You the decision of what and how much You give back to me, asking for the GRACE to be a FAITHFUL STEWARD over that which You entrust to me. (Luke 14:33). Father, if, for YOUR sake or the sake of the GOSPEL, it requires that I give up and leave house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children or lands, I would consider it a very great honor. My DELIGHT is to DO YOUR WILL, regardless of the personal cost involved, because YOU are the PRICELESS TREASURE that is buried in the field. IN MY JOY I choose to sell ALL that I have (that is, I give up MY control over and MY ownership of ALL that I haveNOT offering SACRIFICES that You are not requiring of me, but OBEYING the prompting of what YOU SPEAK to my heart to yield to You for the sake of accomplishing Your will). Father, YOU are TRUE RICHES, and there is NO PRICE TOO GREAT for such a TREASURE. I lean on Your good promise that for EVERYTHING I give up, I will receive a HUNDRED TIMES AS MUCH in THIS life, with persecutions, and in the life TO COME. (Mark 10:29-30; Matthew 13:44; I Samuel 15:22; Luke 16:11). Father, You have said in Your Word that NO man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. I CANNOT serve YOU and MAMMON(that is, DECEITFUL RICHES, MONEY, or POSSESSIONS), nor can I put my trust in ANYTHING or ANYONE apart from YOU, for You have said, He that trusts in and is confident in his own riches shall fall.

Therefore, I choose this day Who I will serve. As for me, and my house, we will SERVE YOU, Father. I REFUSE to be ANXIOUS, WORRIED or PERPETUALLY UNEASY about my life what I will eat or what I will drinkor about my bodywhat I will put onfor LIFE is GREATER than FOOD and the BODY is far above and MORE EXCELLENT than CLOTHING. If You clothe the grass of the field, which today is alive and green and tomorrow is tossed into the furnace, will You not MUCH MORE SURELY clothe ME? Therefore, I WILL NOT WORRY or BE ANXIOUS, saying, What am I going to eat?, or What am I going have to drink?, or What am I going to wear?, for the Gentiles WISH FOR, CRAVE and DILIGENTLY SEEK after ALL THESE THINGS. You, Father, know WELL that I need them all. But I choose to seek FIRST YOUR KINGDOM and YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, and THEN ALL THESE THINGS taken together will be given to me BESIDES. I will not worry or be anxious for TOMORROW, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:24-34; Proverbs 11:28; Joshua 24:15). Thank You, Father, that You are equipping me with EVERYTHING GOOD that I may CARRY OUT YOUR WILL. (Hebrews 13:21). Father, I declare that I do not forget or neglect to do kindness and good, or to be GENEROUS and distribute and contribute to the needy of the church, for such sacrifices are WELL-PLEASING to You. (Hebrews 13:16). Father, I declare that because I am a GIVER, gifts will be given to me, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into my bag. The measure that I have dealt out when I have conferred benefits on OTHERS is the measure that will be measured back to ME. (Luke 6:38). Thank You, Father, that You are CAUSING me to go PROSPEROUSLY on my way of OBEDIENCE and SERVICE. (Genesis 24:56; Psalm 91:11). Father, I declare that because Your Word does not depart out of my mouth, but I meditate on it day and night, observing to do ALL that is written in it (by the power of YOUR GRACE at work within me), You are making my way PROSPEROUS, I am dealing WISELY and having GOOD SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:8; Philippians 2:13). Father, I declare that because I keep Your charge, walk in Your ways and obey Your voice, ALL that I do is WISE, and I am PROSPERING in ALL that I do and wherever I turn. (I Kings 2:3). Father, I declare that I am acquainting myself with Youagreeing with You and showing myself to be conformed to YOUR will. Therefore, I am at peace, and PROSPERITY and GREAT GOOD are coming to me. I am receiving instruction from Your mouth and laying up Your words in my heart. I am returning to You, Almighty One, and SUBMITTING and HUMBLING myself before You. Therefore, I am being BUILT UP. I am putting away unrighteousness far from my house. I am laying my GOLDmy MATERIAL POSSESSIONS and ALL that I TREASUREin the dust, considering them of LITTLE WORTH, and I am making YOU, the Almighty One, MY GOLD, and PRECIOUS SILVER TREASURE. I delight in YOU, Almighty

One, and lift my face to YOU. Therefore, when I make my prayer to You, You hear me. When I decide and decree a thing, You are establishing it for me. The light of Your favor is shining upon all of my ways. When my circumstances make me low, I am able to say, There is a lifting up, because I have humbled myself before You. You will even deliver the ones for whom I intercede who are not innocent. Yes, they will be delivered through the cleanness of MY hands. (Job 22:21-30). Father, I declare that I am blessed, happy, fortunate PROSPEROUS and enviable because I walk uprightly, and I do not live in the counsel of the ungodly, following their advice, their plans or their purposes, nor do I stand submissive and inactive in the path where sinners walk, nor do I sit down to relax and rest where the scornful and the mockers gather. But, my DELIGHT and DESIRE are in Your Word, and on Your Word do I mediate, ponder and study day and night. I am like a tree firmly planted and tended by the streams of water, ready to bring forth my fruit in its season. My leaf also does not fade or wither, and EVERYTHING I do PROSPERS and comes to maturity. (Psalm 1:1-3). Thank You, Father, that You take PLEASURE in my PROSPERITY. Therefore, I declare that I do not allow myself to be seized with alarm and struck with fear, for it is YOUR GOOD PLEASURE to give me the kingdom. (Psalm 35:27b; Luke 12:32). Father, I declare that I have made YOU my strength, stronghold and tower. I do NOT put my trust and confidence in the ABUNDANCE of MY RICHES, seeking refuge and security for myself through wickedness. I do not continue to lay up and HOARD POSSESSIONS for MYSELF, but I am RICH in my RELATION to YOU. I am like a green olive tree in Your house. I put my trust and confidence in YOUR LOVINGKINDESS and MERCY forever. (Psalm 52:7-8; Luke 12:21). Father, I declare that when my RICHES INCREASE, I do NOT set my HEART on THEM, for if my heart is set on THEM, I am already receiving my consolationthe solace and sense of strengthening and cheer that come from EARTHLY PROSPERITYand I have taken and enjoyed my comfort IN FULL, having NOTHING left to be awarded to me. But, because my heart is set on YOU, Father, I give away to EVERYONE who begs of me, who is in want of necessities, and of him who takes away my goods from me, I do not demand or require them back again. I lend expecting and hoping for nothing in return, but I consider nothing as lost and despair of no one. Therefore, my reward is great, rich, strong, intense and abundant. I give donations to the poor out of that which I possess, providing myself with a purse that does not grow old. I am filling that purse with an UNFAILING and INEXHAUSTIBLE TREASURE in the HEAVENS, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys, and because my TREASURE is in HEAVEN, that is where my HEART is also. Therefore, I aim at and seek the RICH, ETERNAL TREASURES that are ABOVE, where Christ is seated at Your right hand. I set my mind and keep it set on what is ABOVEthe higher thingsNOT on things that are on the earth, for as far as this world is concerned, I have DIED, and my NEW, REAL LIFE is hid with Christ in YOU. I guard myself and keep free from ALL COVETOUSNESSthe immoderate desire for WEALTH, and the greedy longing to have MORE, for my LIFE does NOT consist and is not derived from possessing OVERFLOWING ABUNDANCE, or that which is over and

above my NEEDS, but my TRUE LIFE is in knowing and becoming acquainted with YOU, the only true and real God, and in knowing Your Son, Jesus, Whom you sent. (Psalm 62:10; Luke 6:24, 30, 35; Colossians 3:1-3; Luke 12:15; John 17:3). Father, I declare that I rejoice in the way of Your testimonies as much as in ALL RICHES. Your ordinances I desire MORE than GOLD, even than MUCH FINE GOLD. I would rather choose the GOOD NAME, which You have given me than GREAT RICHES, and I would rather have Your LOVING FAVOR than SILVER or GOLD. My greatest desire, Father, is that You would make known to me the WEALTH of Your GLORY, the IMMEASURABLE, LIMITLESS, and SURPASSING RICHES of Your GRACE toward me, and the UNENDING, BOUNDLESS, FATHOMLESS, INCALCULABLE and EXHAUSTLESS RICHES of JESUS CHRIST. (Psalm 119:14; Psalm 19:9-10; Proverbs 22:1; Romans 9:23; Ephesians 2:7; Ephesians 3:8). Father, I declare that I PROSPER because I love Your Holy City, Jerusalem, and pray for its peace. (Psalm 122:6). Father, I declare that because I honor You with my capital and sufficiency from RIGHTEOUS LABORS, and with the FIRST FRUITS of ALL of my income, my storage places are filled with PLENTY, and my vats are overflowing with new wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10). Father, I declare that because I am righteous, You will not allow me to famish. I am leaving an inheritance of moral stability and goodness to my childrens children, and the WEALTH of the sinner finds its way eventually into my hands, for whom it is laid up. (Proverbs 10:3; Proverbs 13:22). Father, I declare that I WILL NOT earn WEALTH in haste, or unjustly, or from the production of things for vain or detrimental use, for such riches DWINDLE AWAY, BUT because I gather LITTLE by LITTLE, my riches are increasing. (Proverbs 13:11). Thank You, Father, for Your promise that You would reward my HUMILITY and FEAR of You with RICHES, HONOR and LIFE. (Proverbs 22:4). Father, I declare that through skillful and godly WISDOM my HOUSE(my LIFE, my HOME and my FAMILY)is BUILT, and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED on a sound and good foundation, and by KNOWLEDGE are the chambers of its every area filled with ALL PRECIOUS and PLEASANT RICHES. (Proverbs 24:3-4). Father, I declare that because I DO NOT COVER my transgressions I am PROSPERING. Because I CONFESS and FORSAKE my sins, I am obtaining MERCY. (Proverbs 28:13). Father, I declare that because I am FAITHFUL, I am abounding with BLESSINGS. Because I put my trust in YOU, I am ENRICHED and BLESSED. Because I am calling upon You in faith, You are GENEROUSLY BESTOWING Your RICHES upon me. (Proverbs 28:20a; 25b Romans 10:12).

Father, I cannot eat or find ENJOYMENT in my labor apart from YOU. Even if You give me RICHES, POSSESSIONS, and HONOR, so that I lack NOTHING for my soul of ALL that I might DESIRE, and yet You do NOT give me, as a GIFT of Your GRACE, the POWER or CAPACITY to ENJOY it, it would ALL be for NOTHING. But I thank You, that because I PLEASE you, I can REJOICE in my toil, for You are giving me WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and JOY, and You are giving the SINNER the work of gathering and heaping up, so that he may GIVE to ME. (Ecclesiastes 2:24-26; 5:18-19; 6:2). Father, I declare that because I am WILLING and OBEDIENT, I am eating the good of the land. (Isaiah 1:19). Thank You, Father, that even though You have given me SKILL and WISDOM, I do not boast in THAT, and even though You have given me STRENGTH and POWER, I do not boast in THAT, and even though You have given me EARTHLY WEALTH and TEMPORAL SATISFACTIONS, I do not boast in THAT, but I glory and boast in THIS: that I UNDERSTAND and KNOW YOU personally. I boast and proudly rejoice in YOU. (Jeremiah 9:23-24; I Corinthians 1:31). Thank You, Father, that You are giving me the TREASURES of darkness and HIDDEN RICHES of SECRET PLACES that I may know that it is You, the Lord God of Israel, Who calls me by my name. (Isaiah 45:3). Thank You, Father, that You have called me, You have brought me, and You are making my way PROSPEROUS. (Isaiah 48:15). Thank You, Father, that You are LIBERALLY SUPPLYINGfilling to the FULLmy EVERY NEED according to YOUR RICHES in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19). Father, my heart is braced, comforted, cheered and encouraged as I am knit together in love to Your people, so that I may come to have ALL the abounding WEALTH and BLESSINGS of assured conviction of understanding, and that I may become progressively more intimately acquainted with, and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly Your mystic secret, which is JESUS. In HIM ALL the TREASURES of WISDOM, and ALL the RICHES of spiritual KNOWLEDGE and ENLIGHTENMENT are stored up and lie hidden. Therefore, I declare that whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me, I have come to consider as one combined LOSS for Christ's sake. Furthermore, I count EVERYTHING as LOSS compared to the POSSESSION of the PRICELESS PRIVILEGEthe OVERWHELMING PRECIOUSNESS, the SURPASSING WORTH and SUPREME ADVANTAGEof knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly. For HIS sake, I have LOST EVERYTHING and CONSIDER it ALL mere RUBBISH, in order that I may win Him. (Colossians 2:2-3; Philippians 3:7-8). Father, I brought NOTHING into the world, and obviously I cannot take ANYTHING out of the world. If' I have FOOD and CLOTHING, with these I will be CONTENT and SATISFIED,

because those who crave to be RICH fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish, useless, godless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction and miserable perishing, because the LOVE of MONEY is a root of ALL EVILS. It is through THIS CRAVING that some have been led astray, and have WANDERED from the FAITH and pierced themselves through with many acute MENTAL PANGS. BUT as for ME, I FLEE from ALL of these things. I aim at and pursue RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, LOVE, STEADFASTNESS, PATIENCE and GENTLEHEARTEDNESS. I fight the good fight of FAITH. I lay hold of the eternal life to which I was summoned, and I confess the good confession of faith before many witnesses. I am not proud, arrogant and contemptuous of others, nor do I set my hopes on UNCERTAIN RICHES, but on YOU, Father, Who RICHLY and CEASELESSLY PROVIDES me with EVERYTHING for my ENJOYMENT. I do GOOD, I am RICH in GOOD WORKS, and I am LIBERAL and GENEROUS-HEARTED, ready to SHARE with OTHERS. Therefore, I am laying up for myself the RICHES that endure FOREVERa good foundation for the FUTURE, so that I may grasp that which is LIFE INDEED. (I Timothy 6:7-12; I Timothy 6:17-19). Father, I prefer to share the oppression, suffer the hardships, and bear the shame of Your people rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of a sinful life. I consider the contempt, abuse and shame borne for Your Son, Jesus, to be GREATER WEALTH than ALL the TREASURES of this world, because I am looking FORWARD and AWAY to the REWARD that is to come. (Hebrews 11:25-26). Father, I declare that because I am NOT LUKEWARM, but AGLOW and BURNING with the SPIRIT, I will still realize my DESPERATE NEED of YOU, when I have PROSPERED and GROWN WEALTHY. I desire to purchase from You GOLD (Your divine nature) refined and tested by fire, that I may be TRULY WEALTHY, and WHITE CLOTHES (holiness) to keep the shame of my nudity from being seen and EYESALVE that my SPIRITUAL EYES may see You clearly. (Revelation 3:16-18; Romans 12:11). Father, You have said in Your Word that You utter Your VOICE and bring forth the wind from out of Your storehouses and treasuries. It is these scriptures from which the term, windfall blessing came. Your Word also tells me that angels hearken to the VOICE of Your Word. So, Father, by Your authority, I put a VOICE to Your Word and commission angels to release the wind from out of Your storehouses and treasuriesnot only for me and my descendants, but for the Body of Christ to bring about Your end-time purposes in the earth. Kingdom of God, COME! Will of God, BE DONE! In the mighty Name of Jesus! AMEN! (Psalm 135:7; Jeremiah 51:16; Psalm 103:20; Matthew 6:10).
NOTE: When constructing a building, a scaffold is often needed to aid in the process of completion. However, when the building is finished, the scaffold is no longer needed. These scripture prayers are merely a scaffold. They are not the building itself. They are designed to assist us in building the Word of God into our hearts, and teach us how to pray the Word in any given situation. The more the Word of God is deposited within us, the more spontaneous our prayers will become, as the Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance specific scriptures which apply to the area upon which we are focusing. Once we have the mentality of praying the Word, we will find that as we are reading the Word, many other scriptures will begin to come alive for the purpose of prayer.
