Daniele Luciano Moskal said… - Father in Jesus Christ's loving name,
I pray that no weapon planned, formed, or fashioned against you will be able to stand up against an anointed child of the Most High God, and any nasty, ugly, poisonous tongue that raises or rises its dark head against you, your work, your ministry shall be totally condemned. Because God said touch not my anointed vessels.
Father I pray for Your vehicle, Your carrier, Your messenger, Your spokesperson, Your ambassador, Your friend, but most most of all your blessed child, today.
Father I ask for a supernatural double-portion of Your Holy Ghost FIRE anointing to fill my friend up today from the crown of their head to the souls of their feet, LORD. Take them to a new level of Your glory, where your power will manifest and win millions of souls to You LORD, through and by there unique gifted ministry.
Never leave them, never forsake them LORD. Give them wisdom and understanding and discernment on a different level, give them a teflon exterior that nothing will stick when anyone offends them. Give them unspeakable joy and everlasting peace. Let them count it all joy when people poke fun at them, ridicule them, laugh at them, and abuse them in any shape , way or form, because they did that to You LORD but you still forgave them saying, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do!"
Father in Jesus Christ's faithful name, I thank You for Your servant, that You will always order their steps; bless their going out and coming in; let divine supernatural favour be resting upon them and following them all the days of their life here on earth. Let the very words of their mouth and the meditation of their heart, may they always be acceptable in Your sight Lord Jesus; may they never lack anything or be found in want Lord; may you shower Your abundant rains of blessings upon them and their blessed ministry, all the days of their life, in Jesus Christ's faithful and loving name, AMEN!!!
