Christians Traveling Alone

Lord, I claim this place for your purposes. I stand on the truth of your Word: "The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous" (Psalm 125:3). I believe you have given me this place (home, business, motel room, or condo). I dedicate it to you and ask you to fill it with your holy presence. I separate myself from any iniquity that has occurred here in past times. I apply the power of Jesus' blood to remove any desecration of God's name in this place. I ask you, in Jesus' authority, to set watching angels around this property, protecting your servant from the work of the evil one.

(If this is a hotel or motel room, I will add the following.)

Father, I ask for your holy presence and holy angels to linger here, to touch the lives of those who inhabit the room after me. Bring conviction to their hearts, and draw them to seek after you.

I stand on the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose name is above every name, to weaken the power of evil in this place. Through the blood of Christ, I remove all desecration of the name of God that was prompted whether by human or demonic beings. I command all enemies of Jesus Christ that have access to this place, or who may be here now … to leave. Go now where you are ordered to go, by the voice of the Holy Spirit. I claim this property for the Kingdom of Light. I order all darkness to flee, in the name of Jesus the King.

God left us at least three powerful promises:

1. "I am with you always to the end of the world." (Matthew 28:20)

2. "He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but … will also provide a way out, so that you can stand up under it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

3. "If you ask for bread, He will not give you a stone. If you ask for a fish He will not give you a snake." (Matthew 7:9-10)

My friend gave me a great gift. That's why I am eager to pass it along. So together we can be reminded of the infinitely more precious gift of God's presence.
