Prayer to Command The Gates of Your Heart (or a loved one’s heart) To Open Up To God

Prayer to Command The Gates of Your Heart (or a loved one’s heart) To Open Up To God

I discerned that we have to open any gates that we have closed in our hearts to God because of past hurts, rejections, and betrayals. Yes, we guard our hearts, but we must not close them to God. If you are praying and praying but don’t hear or see anything and just seem stuck, that does not mean that God is not communicating with you. It could be that you have closed yourself off from hearing Him without realizing it. Jeanette Strauss and I did a prayer on a broadcast where I prayed to command the gates of your heart to open to God.

Pray Out Loud Over Yourself Or A Loved One

“Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You today as an ambassador of reconciliation on behalf of myself and/or my loved one, _______, and my/their life. I come into Your Courts of Heaven,  Father God, and stand before You in repentance. I repent on behalf of any sin that I have committed against You in any way or anything that I received into myself or my loved one has received that has closed gates within ourselves, including things that we’ve even said out of our mouth gates, things we’ve seen out of our eye gates, or any single gate that’s in our body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit, Father — those gates in me or my loved one that things enter and exit from. 

“Father God, I repent right now if there is any sin involved with any of those gateways, particularly any offense or unforgiveness. I ask You to forgive me. I ask You to wash away all these sins in and on my gates or the gates of my loved one with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Father God, Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, today I request that when YOU stand at that door or gate and knock and call to me or my loved one, I/they will hear your knock. I/they will hear Your voice! I/they am/are not sleepy, weary, stuck, or closed off! I/they can hear You knocking on my/their gates and doors in the natural and in the spiritual!

“Father God, I open every gate and door to YOU! Father God, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit, I desire to be fully awakened spiritually and physically in every area and to be alert right now to receive Your voice, Your signs, and Your correction and love, not just for my personal life and family but also as a watchman on the wall to be a gatekeeper for You, Lord Jesus Christ, as a part of Your Church in this realm on earth, Father God, as it is in Heaven! 

“I ask for fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit to do this faithfully. Thank You, Father God, that I will see Your truth and embrace Your truth and walk in Your truth in boldness and faith! I ask this all before Your Heavenly Courts, Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ.

“I declare, by the authority of Jesus Christ, that any unclean, demonic spirit that has taken a position at my gates, both in the spiritual and the natural, must be uprooted and cast from and evicted now by my prayers that I just prayed in the Courts of Heaven. I apply the blood of Jesus to all my gates, both in the spiritual and the natural, and give Jesus Christ all dominion and authority at my gates. 

“As I have petitioned Father God before His Heavenly Courts today, my petition has been heard, and I know by faith and by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ speaking for me in the Courts of Heaven that my petition is being carried out right now. All my gates have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and the King of Glory is now coming in, according to Palm 24. I receive the King of Glory! I praise and worship Father God as I decree through my prayers of repentance that I am forgiven, and the gates are open wide within me to hear clearly from my Father God and His word spoken and shown to me! 

“I receive divine revelation and confirmation right now from the Holy Spirit a sign of ______*. When this sign is shown to me in the natural, I will know that this prayer and decree has been activated in the Heavens, in the earth, and in my life, all for your kingdom and glory, Father God. This decree shall not return void and shall prosper for what it is sent right now according to Isaiah 55:11. Come in, King of Glory. My gates are open and ready to receive You, in the name of Jesus Christ!”

Note: If you do not feel comfortable asking the Holy Spirit for a sign of confirmation, just go forth in faith that it is done for you. 

Declare Out Loud Over The Gates Of The Hearts Of Your Children

For any gates that our children have slammed shut on us (parents), Jesus, the word of God, truth, righteousness, Holy Spirit, and Father God: 

  • We repent for our children slamming those gates shut and for them not honoring us (parents), Jesus, the word of God, truth, righteousness, Holy Spirit, and Father God
  • Then we command those gates they slammed shut to us (parents), Jesus, the word of God, truth, righteousness, Holy Spirit, and Father God to open up now and receive the King of Glory and us (parents), Jesus’ Salvation, the word of God, truth, righteousness, Holy Spirit, and Father God!!! 
  • We command the gates of any veils over their eyes of understanding to be lifted up and for the truth to come marching in! 
  • Name the gates, take your Seat of Authority there, enforce the blood of Jesus, and say what is allowed and what is not
  • Renounce the spirit of slumber off the sleepers! Awaken their gates! 

Psalm 24:7-9 (The Message)

7 Wake up, you sleepyhead city!

Wake up, you sleepyhead people!

    King-Glory is ready to enter.

8 Who is this King-Glory?

    God, armed

    and battle-ready.

9 Wake up, you sleepyhead city!

Wake up, you sleepyhead people!

    King-Glory is ready to enter.

How To Pray The Prayer of Jabez Over Yourself and Your Loved Ones

How To Pray The Prayer of Jabez Over Yourself and Your Loved Ones

Edited Transcript Of Biblical Teaching And Prayer Based On 1 Chronicles 4:10

This is the most powerful prayer that you can pray over yourself and your loved ones in the word of God! You will see the hand of God move swiftly in them because the word of God is the will of God for your life and the life of your loved ones. 

1 Chronicles 4:10 (KJV): “And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.”

We see in 1 Chronicles 4:9, that Jabez’s mother named him after the pain of childbirth. Jabez means, “I bore him in pain.” He was going around his whole life thinking he was terrible, but as he got older, he was like, “No, this isn’t who I am!” So he went before God and said, “Lord God, take this evil away from me that it’ll never touch me again, and expand my territory. Bring me out.” He wanted to be brought out of it, and he wanted to go out and expand his territory.

You see, the enemy tries to put labels on our children — Jabez labels. For example, “Your child is autistic. Your child is bi-polar. Your child is ADHD, etc.” The enemy tries to put all of these labels on our children. But Jabez said, “Wait a minute, I’m not going to take that label! I’m going to go before God because I want my territory expanded. I’m not just going to sit around here and be stuck with a label. That’s not who I am. I am who God says I am!”

Look at your children or your spouse today and say to them, “You are who God says you are. Don’t believe any negative word that any teacher, any adult, any bully, or any doctor ever put on you. Those negative words are canceled off of you, in the name of Jesus. You are who God says you are. I pray this prayer of Jabez over you that your territory is now expanded. Go out to all the world and share the Good News.” Ask the Holy Spirit to use you (your child, spouse, etc) to meet people right where they are for Jesus.

If anyone ever put a negative label on you or your children, you repent, renounce, cancel, and come out of agreement with those labels and negative words in the name of Jesus, and pray the prayer of Jabez over you or them right now! 

Pray Out Loud Over Your Self

Father, I believe in what You did for Jabez. I believe this word is for me today, and it’s for my child (or spouse, grandchild, etc). I believe right now that you did it for Jabez, and I ask now that you do it for me (my child, my spouse, etc), in Jesus’ name. Father, I believe this, and I want it.

Father God, according to Your word in 1 Chronicles 4:10, Jabez called upon You, O Lord, God of Israel, that You would bless him indeed and enlarge his coast, enlarge his territory, and that Your hand would be with him and that You would keep him from all evil, that it would never grieve him again, and that You granted it for him. I want this. I want the same thing. So Father, in the name of Jesus, I call upon You right now, O Lord, God of Israel, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my coast, enlarge my territory, and that Your hand would be with me and You would keep me from all evil that it will not ever grieve me, and that You grant my request right now, in Jesus’ name.
