Many thanks to my friend Mike who led me and the other guys from the Man Hike this morning in a "spiritual house-cleaning" prayer. We definitely needed it.
 
I'm passing this along to those of you who need more breakthrough in your life, who need to see God show up in some places where you're wondering if he will, who need to step out in faith and exercise the authority you know you have:
 
Spiritual House Cleaning PrayerIn the name of Jesus who has given men the authority to use his name we ask for protection and holy ground today as we minister to each other.
 
In the name of Jesus, bring down every stronghold, argument, and presentation that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and bind any demonic spirits that attempt to oppress, confuse or deny the truth.
 
Help us take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.
 
Holy Spirit, we submit ourselves to you.  We ask you to be our Counselor, Healer, and Deliverer as we lay aside our flesh to minister to each other.
 
In Jesus name we pray,
 
Amen.

May you pray this prayer over yourself and your household today. And may it come true.
