And the winds blew.

And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.” Matthew 7:25

We prayed and pleaded the blood of Jesus to create a boundary of protection. We also prayed the blood line of Christ over ourselves, our family, our property. And then the storm came, and the rain fell and the winds blew. And left such a mess! ​I slid on my ​​rainboots, grabbed the wagon and began to pick up stick after stick. All wet but dead. No life left. Kindling. KINDLING! At that moment the Holy Spirit showed me that He heard our petition. And as I picked upon this multitude of dead sticks and branches the Lord showed me that so many of our beautiful trees were shaken free of any and all dead foliage that could cause harm to ours in the upcoming storms.

There will be no tinder left to fuel destruction. The fires will go around us.

Lord, I cover myself and everyone around me with the blood of Jesus. I cover all of the members of my family by name with the Blood of Jesus. I cover my home and my possessions, including my car, my finances, my marriage and my ministry with the Blood of Jesus. I cover the work of my hands with the Blood of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus Christ by the power of His Blood, I break off and tear down every power of the kingdom of darkness formed against me and cancel every argument in heaven that has established itself against the plans of God in my life. I confess that my body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, justified, sanctified, perfected and protected forever by the Blood of Jesus. I take authority over the plans of the satan in my life and reverse and break every plan and tongue that has formed against me and the Perfect plan of God. I call forth in the name of Jesus all of God’s plans and purposes for my life and my family for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. Amen.

St. Patrick's Breastplate Protective Prayer

Christ be with me, Christ within me,

Christ behind me, Christ before me,

Christ beside me, Christ to win me,

Christ to comfort and restore me.

Christ beneath me, Christ above me,

Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,

Christ in hearts of all that love me,

Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

I bind unto myself the Name,

The strong Name of the Trinity;

By invocation of the same.

The Three in One, and One in Three,

Of Whom all nature hath creation,

Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:

Praise to the Lord of my salvation,

Salvation is of Christ the Lord
