Healing Prayer
Day 20 of 30 Days SWP: Anchoring Your Thoughts to the Everlasting Rock
We focus on spiritual warfare for our minds, examining Isaiah 26:3-4 which promises perfect peace to those whose minds are fixed on God, the everlasting rock that never fails.
• The enemy targets our minds with confusion, fear, and doubt, but we can find perfect peace through God
• Casting our cares upon God allows us to break free from anxiety and worry
• God is described as an "everlasting rock" - consistent, trustworthy, and unchanging
• We must actively fight against negative mental influences including overwhelming news stories
• Breaking chains of addiction (substances, approval of others) through mental healing
• Following Job's example of worshipping God even when everything seems lost
• Training our minds to settle on God's sovereignty, goodness, and might
• Finding strength through prayer when modern minds seem weaker than our ancestors'
Join us again Monday at 6am for our next spiritual warfare prayer session. We will not meet over the weekend.

Good morning and welcome to 30 Days of Spiritual Warfare Prayer. This morning we're going to pray for our minds. The enemy desires to get our minds to a place where we are confused, to get our minds to a place where we're fearful. But we are going to go into spiritual warfare for our minds today. Our scripture this morning is Isaiah, the 26th chapter, verses 3 and 4, in the NIV. You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you, trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26, verses 3 and 4. You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you, trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. Amen, and we are going to take this before the Lord.

The Bible says that man grows wiser as time grows on and we grow weaker, and I believe that that weakness even speaks to our minds. Hallelujah, the things that we're able to withstand.
Speaker 1:Hallelujah, when you look at our ancestors and all they went through. They went through terrible, traumatic things, but they yet moved. They yet continued to keep on, keeping on, and we're not seeing that as much today. But I'm asking God, hallelujah, to strengthen our minds. To is our target. You keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you, trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, god is an everlasting rock. Amen. I pray that that blesses you and that you take that with you. Today we're thanking the Lord for another week of 30 days of spiritual warfare prayer.
