Prayer for pleading the blood of Jesus draws on a real, deep biblical theme, the blood of Christ as the actual basis for forgiveness, protection, and victory, foreshadowed all the way back at Passover and fulfilled completely at the cross. Scripture returns to this image again and again.
These thirty prayers walk through that same declaration. If short prayer for protection from evil spirits asked for covering broadly, let this prayer be the specific, scriptural ground that covering actually stands on.
Pray these when you need to stand on the finished work of the cross specifically, not just general protection.
