Among many that you can use, here are 11 powerful scriptures to pray over your home.
Before Using Scripture To Pray Over Your Home
Now before taking action it is important that we are first making sure that we have the right heart posture. Ask the Holy Spirit to help identify wrong attitudes that you may have or where the enemy may have a foothold into your household by any words or behaviors that you’ve allowed into your home. Or by anything that you are consuming or taking in by the eyes or ears. What kinds of things are you watching or listening to lately? What kinds of things have you brought into your home that may be giving the enemy entry?
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal this to you as you move about your home and make note of them. Further prayer might be needed in some cases so allow yourself some time for that.
Praying Over Your Home Doesn’t Have To Be Complicated
Praying over your home doesn’t have to be a big or complicated event. You can declare God’s word over your home as you are doing your regular housework, laundry, tidying and putting things back where they belong. While you are working, you can simply start praying over your home and the rooms that you go in and out of. It doesn’t have to be complicated. The Lord knows your heart, so there is no need to feel like this has to be a production.
The following are some scriptures that you can reference and include while you are praying over your home and inviting the Holy Spirit into it. Look up others that resonate with you and your particular situation as well. Try writing them on sticky notes and leaving them in the areas that you frequent and want to pray over. Or set a reminder on your phone if you want to do this at certain times of the day like when your child is down for a nap or when you are cooking dinner.
It is more likely that it will become a regular habit to pray over your home if it doesn’t seem like a daunting task. By working it into your daily routine, it becomes much more manageable to do.
Some people like to use certain scriptures for each room they pray over and others just pray as they go about their daily tasks. Another idea is to do a weekly home blessing where you set a day each week to do a prayer walk around the house. You can do this as frequently as you see fit. Ask the Lord to help you if you don’t know where to start.
