There is nothing more powerful than the Blood of Jesus.
I believe it's very appropriate for these times we're living in.

(To be said daily)

PRAYER AND PROCEDURE FOR COVERING YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS

In the morning:

Name all the people you will be covering -- then list specific areas below:

1. SALVATION - That none of us would be lost, led astray or deceived.

2. SAFETY - That we would all be protected and safe from all harm (spiritual, mental, physical or violent, satanical harm).

3. MINISTRY - That the areas of ministry God has for us would be fulfilled.

4. MARRIAGE - That God would heal the things that are wounded or broken and strengthen the good things.

5. RELATIONSHIPS - That all of our relationships would be based on good and Godly principles.  (If you need to name anyone, do so.)

6. HEALTH - That we would all be made whole, spiritually, mentally and physically.  (Mention anyone on the list with health problems.)

7. HOMES - That they would be protected from destruction, spiritually, physically, or materially.  That they would be havens from the world for us.  Places where God's love is shared.  (Also include our churches, schools, places of employment and any public places we may visit.)

8. VEHICLES - That we would be protected in all of our travels (all modes).  Safe from accidents or harm.

9. FINANCES - That God would bless our jobs, businesses, and that our needs would be met (all bills, financial obligations - state needs here).

In the Evening:

Name all the people you are covering.

1st.  Ask the Lord to cover all of you with His Blood that it could be as an antiseptic to cleanse us from any encounter with the kingdom of darkness this day.  Cleanse us of its effects or damage and do not let it affect us or enter into our day tomorrow.

2nd.  Pray that all would be covered with His Blood as a protection.  That we would be hidden in the shadow of His wings, placed in the bosom of the Lord to be safe from all harm.  Lord, place a wall of protection (a hedge) around us that satan cannot enter into our lives to rob, steal, kill or destroy what belongs to us as the family of God.  In You, Lord, I hide:

our salvation
our safety
our ministries
our marriages
our relationships
our health
our homes
our vehicles
our finances

               -  St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi
 

The "Constant" Prayer of St. Catherine of Siena

Precious Blood, most pure offering:  Procure us every grace!
Precious Blood, hope and refuge of sinners:  Atone for us!
Precious Blood, delight of holy souls:  Draw us!  Amen."

Precious Blood Prayer in Response to Requests from Our Lord

"Dear Jesus, moved by an impulse of love, and with purity of intention, I wish to cover my humble labors with Your merits and bathe them in the supernatural gold of Your Precious Blood.  I desire to consecrate my life to the saving of souls and the extension of Your glory, and I beg the Heavenly Father for as many souls as You shed drops of Blood during Your Passion."

               - Sr. Josefa Menendez
 

Prayer of St. Faustina

"O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You."
 

Pleading the Blood of Jesus

"Father in heaven, may we all be cleansed by the saving Blood of Jesus; may our consciences be purged of dead works.  Scripture says that evil is defeated by the Blood of the Lamb, so we ask that the Blood of Jesus cover all who are in need of protection (all civil, religious and lay leaders, our families, friends, enemies, all those for whom we have promised to pray, and ourselves).  We mark the borders of our nation and the doorposts of our churches, homes, schools and places of employment with the Precious Blood of Jesus.  Also, we cover our vehicles that no one may ever be injured through them.  Thank You, Lord, for shedding Your Blood for us.

May the Water and Blood that came from the side of Jesus create a protecting fountain of grace, one which flows directly from the throne of God to us.  Come, Lord, and fill us with Your Holy Spirit."
 

Testimony to the Precious Blood

We overcome Satan when we testify personally to what the Word of God says that the Blood of Jesus does for us (Revelation 12:11).

Ephesians 1:7     Through the Blood of Jesus I am redeemed out of
Psalm 107:2        the hand of the devil.

Ephesians 1:7     Through the Blood of Jesus all my sins are
                         forgiven.

                         from all sin.

                          saved from God's wrath.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20   My body is a temple for the Holy Spirit,
                                   redeemed, cleansed, sanctified by the
                                   Blood of Jesus.

                                   Therefore, the devil has no place in me, and
                                   no power over me, through the Blood of
                                   Jesus.
