The One Prayer That Takes Back Your Life in Seconds (Written at Sea)

The One Prayer That Takes Back Your Life in Seconds (Written at Sea)

by Nikki Walton of CurlyNikki.com

I have been going one hundred miles per hour since I hit the deck, literally, since I stepped onto this ship, and into this wild swirl of 24 hour lights and music and dining rooms and endless hallways and kids laughing and elevators dinging and ice cream dripping down little hands, and the nonstop announcements about the next show or the next port or the next party…

…*gulps breath* and honestly, it has been beautiful, but it has also been a lot. It’s been CONSTANT stimulation and incessant movement and almost no quiet, and very little sleep and nowhere to truly hide away and breathe, and somehow in the middle of all of this movement, I looked up and realized I had not actually stopped and prayed like I usually do, not with my whole heart and attention. Not with the Spirit. Not with the power of the Blood.

Typing all of this out makes me think that this is how life is… just x 100 thousand trillion right now. It’s all one big, beautiful distraction from him. So much food, so much noise, so much consumerism. It’s wild.

Checking in and waiting to take off-

I got my steps in, I walked the top deck today until the wind cleared my head, but the real shift did not come until I stepped aside, and let everything else be loud while I became still, and the moment I did that, the moment I turned my attention back to Him, the Power came rushing back into my body so strongly and so suddenly that I had to pause, I had to breathe, I had to write, because I remembered something I need you to remember too:

Your life does not run on momentum.
Your life runs on Authority.

Not authority you earn.
Authority you inherited.
Authority purchased for you, once and for all, by the Blood of Jesus.

And when you forget that, even for a day or two, even for a weekend trip or a holiday cruise or a family visit, you start to feel frayed around the edges, you start to feel like life is happening to you instead of through you, you start to feel like you’re behind on something you can’t name, and all that is is a sign that it’s time to pray the prayer that resets everything, the prayer that takes your life back, the prayer that reminds your spirit and every spirit around you who you really belong to.

Pray this with me. Out loud if you can. Whisper if you have to.
Just pray it-

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I take my authority back.

I remember right now that my life, my body, my mind, my peace, my future, my freedom, my wealth, my health and my destiny were purchased, fully paid for, sealed and protected by the precious Blood of Jesus, and because I am covered in that Blood, because I belong to that Name, every other name has to bow.

Every spirit of sickness, weakness or heaviness,
every spirit of confusion, delay or distraction,
every spirit of fear, anxiety or discouragement,
every spirit of disease or disorder,
every unclean thought or temptation,
every assignment that was sent to drain my joy or steal my strength,
every shadow that has tried to follow me through this season,

be gone from here, in the Name of Jesus, by the Blood of Jesus.

You have no place in my mind.
You have no place in my body.
You have no place in my family.
You have no place in my home, my finances, my travels or my future.

I am covered.
I am purchased.
I am protected.
I am sealed.
I am kept by God.

Holy Spirit, fill me again.
Renew me again.
Realign me again.
Flood every part of my being with Your Power. With Your Tongue.

Let every room I walk into shift.
Let every worry dissolve.
Let every attack fail.
Let every blessing find me.
Let every promise unfold without delay.

I take my life back under the Blood.
I take my peace back under the Blood.
I take my joy back under the Blood.
I take my energy, my focus, my strength, my clarity back under the Blood.

Jesus, You paid for all of this.
I receive all of this.
And I walk in all of this.

Amen.

Your Authority Travels With You

You don’t lose your anointing because you’re traveling. You don’t lose your power because your schedule is full. You don’t lose your covering because you’re tired or overstimulated or out of routine.

You are His.
Purchased.
Paid for.
Protected.

So if you’ve been moving fast, if you’ve been running on fumes, if you’ve been trying to juggle joy and family and noise and deadlines and holiday travel and everything else this season brings, step aside for just a moment and pray this prayer, breathe this breath, reclaim what is already yours, and watch how quickly the Power returns, how quickly the peace drops, how quickly your whole body shifts into strength again.

This is how you travel with Jesus.
This is how you win the season.
This is how you take your life back.

I LOVE YOU!
