Family Mountain

This sphere of society includes all families, people who work as counselors, ministers, social workers, educators, government officials who write, approve, and carry out laws that affect the family unit, and those in any aspect of culture that deals with family life. Isaiah 41:13 says that you take us by the right hand and tell us not to be afraid because you will help us. We stand on that promise for our families. As You said, greater is He in us than he who is in the world. If you said it, we believe it! Equip us to fight for our families.

1^st Prayer Point: Pray that our children will walk in their true identity in Christ. They will not be easily persuaded by the world into believing anything other than who God says they are in His Word. 

1 Peter 2:9 (HCSB) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Psalms 139: 13-14 (HCSB) For it was You who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know [this] very well.

1 Corinthians 3: 8-9 (HCSB) Now the one who plants and the one who waters are equal, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s co-workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

• Pray that in their search for identity, they will come to know that they are Your masterpiece in Christ Jesus, created to do good works that You have prepared in advance for them to do.
• Lord, help each young person see themself as You see them, Your co-worker. Pray that each young person will understand that they were uniquely created for a purpose that only they can fulfill. Lord, help them see that the strengths they have were given to them for a reason and they can impact this world in incredibly powerful ways.  
• Pray that our children will walk in confidence, knowing that they are God’s masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).
• On behalf of our youth, we bind up and destroy every speculation and lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of Christ and we take captive the thoughts that try to pervert the identity of each child to the obedience of Christ.
• We pray that legislation will continue to be passed in our nation that will remove unbiblical agendas and ideologies from our classrooms.

2^nd Prayer Point: Pray for spiritual renewal to come to our families and for prodigal children to be saved.

Psalms 51:10-12 (NIV) Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

• Pray for restoration and healing to come to every relationship within our families.

James 4:8 (HCSB) Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Joel 2:28-30 (HCSB) “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 29 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. 30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

• Pray for the presence of God and His love to fill our homes.
• Pray that families will begin to seek the Lord together, and that we will have intimate times with Him together in our homes.

Prodigal children:

Acts 26:18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

• Lord, we ask that every prodigal son or daughter come back to you now in Jesus’ name. Help us Lord to love them into Your Kingdom.
• Pray for each of our family members that have not accepted Christ as their Savior, to receive salvation now.

3^rd Prayer Point: Pray for the love of God to sweep through our families.

We are replacing a spirit of rejection and abandonment with the Spirit of adoption, with God’s love. Romans 8:15 (HCSB) For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”

A major influence on this mountain is the spirit of rejection. The lies that the enemy wants us to believe are like these: “I am not truly loved, I don’t really belong, and I’m the only one who really looks out for me.” The enemy wants us to believe that we have been forgotten or abandoned by God. Unfortunately, perceived rejection can be just as damaging as actual rejection. 

• Lord, we release those who have wronged us or caused us pain (intentionally and unintentionally). We choose to forgive them and release them of any debt, in Jesus’ name. Colossians 3:13 (HCSB) Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
• Pray for freedom and healing from a spirit of rejection within our own life and for those within our family. We bind the spirit of rejection and command it to leave, in Jesus’ name! Romans 8:14-17 (HCSB) All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
• We ask for freedom to come to every family that is a part of this church. We pray for complete healing and restoration to sweep through this House.
• Lord, we ask that in the remaining days of 2024 there will be healing in families all across America.

4^th Prayer Point: Pray for our government leaders who have influence in the Family Mountain.

We can break through in prayer and create an umbrella of influence in the Spirit where righteous enactments are made, no matter who is in office. (Esther 8)

• Pray for the fear of the Lord to instruct our Supreme Court justices, our Florida Supreme Court justices, and our local court justices. 

Job 12:22 (MSG) He shines a spotlight into caves of darkness, hauls deepest darkness into the noonday sun. 

Amos 5:24 (HCSB) But let justice flow like water, and righteousness, like an unfailing stream.

• Pray for the laws and ordinances that govern the family to be written with Biblical values and influence.
• Pray that our welfare laws would be adjusted to promote and strengthen a strong family unit and that financial factors will not be the primary consideration.
• Pray that every state will continue to work to put an end to all abortions in our nation. We praise you Lord that Amendment 4 did not get passed in the state of FL!!!!
