Father, we come today on behalf of Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love that Lucifer/Satan is seeking to destroy, through the operation of Leviathan and all powers and principalities associated with him, in order to defame You who are Love. We appropriate the authority given to us in Luke 10: 19, and seated with Christ in heavenly places, we humbly remind You of Your Word in Isaiah 27: 1 In that day the Lord, with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan, the piercing serpent, even Leviathan that crooked serpent and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Father, we declare and thank you, that Psalm 91: 11 angelic hosts of heaven have been released under the guidance of Holy Spirit to do battle with us and on our behalf to rout out and defeat Leviathan and his minions. Michael, captain of the hosts, come and make an example of the twisting, deceiving, lying Leviathan.
Thank You for renewing our hearts and minds according to Psalm 51: 10 and Romans 12: 2, so that, as we unite together to pray, we walk in the one accord of love and forgiveness, taking no offense that would be an open door for Leviathan to work in our lives.
Father, we declare Mark 4: 22 and thank You for exposing Leviathan who, in his various manifestations, is roiling through the streets of Philadelphia bringing spiritual death, and the greed, poverty, corruption and violence that goes with it, to the neighborhoods and citizens of our city. We thank You, too, for revealing the prayer strategies that will dislodge and replace each of these manifestations with Your Kingdom Presence and Godly counterpart.
Father, we declare Proverbs 3: 6-7 and Proverbs 8: 8-9 and thank You for making straight the ways that Leviathan twists communication in personal relationships, in the Church and in the media so that the people of Philadelphia, both Christians and non-Christians alike, begin hearing Your truth in all things as never before.
Father, we thank You for replacing Leviathan and his minions with the Seven Spirits of God from Isaiah 11: 1-2, represented by the lampstand on the altar of the Church of Philadelphia, so that minds are restored to wholeness and Godly wisdom prevails.
Father, we thank You for restoring the identity that You purposed for mankind from our Genesis 1: 26-28 creation, revealing, by Your Spirit, how Lucifer/Satan through Leviathan and his minions have distorted that identity. We thank You that You are drawing all men unto You and bringing them to salvation and deliverance.
We thank You, also, that You are opening the eyes of our hearts to love all of those who have been programmed and used by Leviathan to further his agenda, from sexual perversions and violence to political and social agendas. Thank You for showing us through 1Corinthians 13 and Philippians 2: 1-5 how to demonstrate Your Love and bring them to the cross where Jesus shed His blood for each of them, so they have a revelation of how they were made in Your image.
Father, we celebrate the Godly Exodus 18: 21 leaders You are raising up in the Church and the market-place who are free from Leviathan’s control and can help free people, both Christian and non-Christian, from its grips as well.
We thank You, Father, for replacing all the lies, from the Father of Lies, and twisted communication of Leviathan that have sowed seeds of hatred and division in our city, with the John 16: 13 Spirit of Truth. We thank You that the fruits of the spirit are being planted instead, in hearts and minds, words and actions.
Father, we declare that your truth and love are dismantling the spirit of pride that has infiltrated this city through the new age, witchcraft, all false spiritual practices and the LGBTQ and transgender communities. We stand on your word in 1John 4 which states that we have overcome every lying and manipulative spirit that is contrary to the one true God. We pray that every lost soul would be loosed from Leviathan's grip of spiritual confusion, and come into right relationship with you through the saving knowledge of your son Jesus Christ.
We thank You, Father, that as these transformations from darkness to light take place, Philadelphia is being restored to The City of Brotherly Love that You intended it to be, the Holy Experiment, a Seed of the Nation that sets an example to the world of what Love can do.
