Asking King Jesus To Be A Filter In Your Day or In a Moment

Asking King Jesus To Be A Filter In Your Day or In a Moment

I learned this from my dear friend and mentor, Jeanette Strauss.  She said she was at a conference and was in a prayer line, and the person going down the prayer line started speaking things that gave her a check in her spirit. She did not want to agree with that person’s words and did not want him touching her, but she was stuck in the line and could not step back.  She asked the Lord Jesus for help, and He said to her, “Ask ME to be a filter!” So she did! Since then, I have used this strategy many times, for my day and also for any impromptu situation. 

Below is the long version of the prayer. The short version is at the end.

Pray Out Loud

  • “King Jesus, I invite You to be a filter between me and everything today, and specifically in this moment of time when I am doing this ______________. I place everything in my life, my body, my soul, my spirit, and everything I do today in Your precious blood. I have on my whole armor of God! I am sealed in Your righteousness, and I have on my whole armor of light. I am clothed in Your peace. The glory of God is my covering, and the favor of God surrounds me as a shield. 


  • “I receive good reports today because You are with me. Lord Jesus, You have redeemed everything in my past, present, and in my future! You, Lord, are manifest, present, and in authority over all things in my life, moment by moment! I have absolutely no fear, only faith!  Lord, You come when I ask, and You will not leave me. I am inviting YOU, King Jesus, to stand between me and everything today and particularly this situation ______________. I believe You are here right now, Lord, and I feel Your presence. Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ! I love YOU and ask this Faithfully, in Your name, and I know YOU are here for me right now, Lord Jesus. I am not alone! You are standing between me and everything!  


  • “The devil must bow the knee and nothing by all means shall harm me nor any evil touch me! The demons tremble in fear and cannot go through You, Lord Jesus, to get to me! You, Lord, are my shield and my filter with every person, place, or thing that I encounter today! So be it. Amen.”

Short Version: Pray Out Loud

  • “Lord Jesus, I invite You to step into this moment of time and be a filter between me and _______. In Your name, Lord Jesus, I ask. Amen.”

Note: Yes, it is permissible and even encouraged to pray directly to Jesus in Christianity. Jesus is both God and man, and the New Testament provides examples of people praying to him directly. The belief that prayer is primarily directed to God the Father, through Jesus as the mediator, doesn’t preclude direct prayer to Jesus.

Here’s why:

Scriptural Examples:The Bible contains examples of individuals praying directly to Jesus, such as Stephen who prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:59).

Jesus as Mediator: Jesus is described as the mediator between God and humankind (1 Timothy 2:5-6), and he acts as our high priest, representing us to God.

Praying in Jesus’ Name: While we are encouraged to pray in Jesus’ name, this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also pray directly to Jesus.

Jesus’ Authority: Jesus has the authority to hear and answer prayers (John 14:14).

Direct Communication: The Way, the Truth, and the Life – John 13:13-15
…13 And I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it. 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Cross References

John 15:7
“If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”

Jesus is the Son of God, and we can communicate directly with him as a friend and guide.

In summary, praying to Jesus is a valid and encouraged practice within Christian faith, supported by scripture and theological understanding.

Decree To Hear God Clearly

Decree To Hear God Clearly

On a recent live broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane, a viewer commented that she felt like she was losing her mind and reality and was not able to perceive God. Annamarie quickly canceled those words and reminded her of the importance of not speaking word curses over herself. The Holy Spirit then downloaded a powerful decree and prayer to help her be able to hear God clearly.

If you are feeling like you can’t hear God and have spoken, typed, or written negative words over yourself, first cancel those words and then boldly proclaim the declaration that follows.

Declare Out Loud

  • “King Jesus, I ask You to redeem my words today and You be made manifest in them. I wash every word that I speak today in the blood of Jesus Christ, and, in the name of Jesus Christ, I cancel every negative word that I’ve ever spoken, written, or typed. 
  • “I declare that I am of sound mind. In Jesus’ name, I have the mind of Christ. I command every thought in my mind to come into the obedience of Christ. I command my mind, body, soul, spirit, will, and emotions to come into alignment with the will and the Word of God, by the authority of Jesus Christ. Right now, I invite You, King Jesus, to step into this moment of time and redeem my mind, my body, my soul, my spirit, my heart, my will, my emotions, my thoughts, and my words, and You, Lord Jesus, be made manifest in all of it. From this day forward, I walk in the light and the glory of Jesus Christ. 
  • “I belong to Jesus Christ. I am His sheep, and His sheep know His voice. His sheep hear his voice. I perceive the voice of God. I perceive the voice of the Holy Spirit. I perceive the voice of Jesus Christ. I will not listen to the voice of a stranger, and I renounce and rebuke all confusion. I renounce and rebuke all discord. I renounce and rebuke all blocks and all barriers that are keeping me from hearing God.”

Lift Up Your Hands And Pray Out Loud

  • “Father God, I worship You. I love You. I love Your heart, Father God. I am a woman/man after Your own heart. Speak to my heart, Father God, in that still small voice. Show me beautiful signs of Your presence in my day and in my night. I invite Your presence, Holy Spirit, into my life. Holy Spirit, You are welcome to take over my life right now, in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen and amen.”
