A Prayer to Unlock Finances
There is so, so much I could write on with the subject of the Courts of Heaven.
I will get to that eventually, but at present, I am busy writing another book!
There are so many people who are financially stuck and cannot figure out why.
I think this prayer may help a lot. As you read through it, take the time to gain understanding.
The enemy is our adversary and always looks for legal grounds in order to enforce a curse.
And, while it is true that every curse is broken through Jesus Christ, we must appropriate the finished work of the cross by enforcing it. We cannot enforce a spiritual law if we are guilty of breaking it.
If you examine the blessings and curses of Deuteronomy 28, there is always a cause and effect.
The spiritual principles still apply even in the New Testament, although they haven’t worded it quite the same.
Remember, God looks at the heart and judges us by the motive in our heart just as much as our actions.
We are judged by the law of love.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength and love your neighbor as yourself.”
On this hang all the law and prophets words. This tells us that we are judged by how well we love God and love others. So, based on that, we need to examine ourselves.
We may have sin, transgression or iniquity in our bloodline that has left us vulnerable to wrong mindsets, which have led us to some sort of failure to measure up against God’s spiritual laws.
Satan also knows this, and he understands when we have given him a legal right that gives him an advantage over us in the heavenly court.
He is the accuser, the prosecuting attorney. This prayer is written to help remove the legal grounds Satan uses to enforce poverty, robbery and thieving away our blessings.
I pray it helps you to tap into the knowledge and understanding how to recover your losses as well as shut any open doors the enemy is using against you!
Protocol for entering God’s Courtroom:
- Humility. 1 Peter 5:5-6
- Thanksgiving and praise. Psalm 100:4.
- Blood Covenant. Hebrews 10:19, Romans 5:2, Ephesians 3:12.
- Confession & Repentance. 1 John 1:9.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You into Your heavenly court, seeking relief from the enemy and the wicked oppressor, the thief who has robbed me and my family from the ability to prosper according to Your word.
I come to You, O God, as the heavenly Judge of all heaven and earth. I do not approach You on my own righteousness, for I have none; I approach You based on Your goodness and mercy, and because the Blood of Jesus has been shed for my sins.
I am a blood-bought child of God and Your word tells me that I can find help in the time of my need.
The adversary and accuser have sought legal grounds in order to indict me and enforce a curse of poverty, financial lack and an inability to prosper, thereby severely limiting my ability to influence others for the sake of the Kingdom of God.
Therefore, I ask You to hear my petition before the court.
On behalf of myself and others in my family line, I ask You to forgive our sins, transgressions and iniquities.
Please forgive any misappropriation of finances in our history.
Forgive us for poor stewardship, reckless spending, gambling, selfishness and greed.
Forgive us for the times when we have had more than enough and we did not spend it wisely, and the times when we acted miserly.
Forgive us for having the wrong motive and asking for things that you could not bless because we asked for selfish intent.
Forgive us for the sin of hoarding; holding on to finances when You wanted us to be generous to others and to sow financial seeds.
Forgive us for having an attitude of entitlement, thinking that we were deserving of more when we had not proven we were trustworthy with finances.
Forgive us for having wrong expectations, expecting You to give us something when we had not wisely used what you had already given us.
Forgive us for neglecting to use our talents and abilities in the Kingdom of God, and for failing to recognize our responsibility to invest the gifts, talents and abilities so that they would bring increase for Your Kingdom.
Forgive us for putting a monetary value on our service, and for failing to serve others because we could not see the reward in it.
Forgive us for not serving You in joy and gladness, for the abundance of everything.
Forgive us for areas of unbelief and reluctance to release what’s in our hand because we have doubted Your goodness towards us.
Forgive us for serving and sowing from an attitude of stinginess and legalism rather than having an attitude of generosity and grace.
Forgive us for placing ourselves under Old Testament law instead of functioning in liberty and grace.
Forgive us for transgressing and being unable to fulfill the law.
Let us be released from legalism attached to our mindset and giving.
Forgive us for having an evil eye towards others.
Forgive us for allowing jealousy, envy, covetousness, idolatry, judgmentalism and legalism to criticize others and pass negative judgments against them.
Forgive us for the pursuit of mammon, the sin of selfish ambition and attempting to set up an idol of self-importance and self-sufficiency in the secret places of our heart.
Forgive us for attempting to build our own kingdom rather than Your kingdom.
Forgive us for the sins of pride and self-righteousness, treating others with contempt and dishonor, character assassination, and uncovering the sins of others.
Forgive us for unbelief and for the inability to see You as good, gracious and the source of all our blessing.
Forgive us for any areas where we have misled others and caused them to wander off the road of righteousness.
Forgive us for illegally and unlawfully attempting to seize what belonged to another person.
Forgive us for taking unlawful advantage over others.
Forgive us for taking a bribe, being a party to injustice and robbing others of justice.
Forgive us for iniquity in our bloodline and for anyone that made a covenant with demonic powers.
Forgive us for making a covenant with spirits of poverty, death and hell whereby we made lies our refuge.
Knowingly or unknowingly, we made a covenant with the wrong entities believing that those things could protect us, provide for us, and we placed our trust in the wrong gods.
Forgive us for selling ourselves into bondage either through sin or ungodly peace treaties, covenants and contracts that have forced us into slavery, bondage and service to others.
Forgive us for any advantages that were gained through immorality, bribes, trading services, and ungodly agreements and covenants.
I give back any advantages I may have received through demonic contracts and covenants.
I ask You, LORD to restore the blessings you have for me.
Forgive us for any sacrifices and shedding of blood that was offered through the sins of murder, abortion, character assassination, slander, gossip, and evil speaking.
Father, You are the just Judge in the courts of heaven.
I ask my advocate and my attorney, the Lord Jesus Christ, to both intercede for me and speak on my behalf.
I also ask that Holy Spirit be called to give testimony and bear witness on my behalf, that I stand before you now forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness, according to 1 John 1:9.
I ask the court to revoke the legal grounds that the enemy has used to indict me and enforce a curse.
I also ask that all charges be dismissed.
I petition the court to pass a favorable judgment on my behalf that annuls every demonic contract and old covenant.
I petition the court for angelic assistance to tear down every evil altar with my family name on it.
Let it be torn down now and our family name removed, in Jesus’ Name.
I petition the court on behalf of any innocent blood that was shed; let the sacrifice be silenced and let all demonic portals be closed.
I ask that the blood of Jesus would be applied to all altars, demonic thrones and portals and seal them shut in Jesus’ Name.
Finally, Your honor, I petition the court for restoration and restitution to come forth immediately out of the enemy’s storehouse.
According to Your law in Proverbs 6:31 the thief, when caught, must repay at no less than a 7-fold return and have to give up the substance of his house.
Also, Your honor, I ask that I be granted speedy recompense, retroactive compensation for the years the enemy has stolen from me, according to 2 Kings 8:3-6, Joel 2:23-27 and Luke 18:1-8.
Let the wealth that was once in my generational line be restored, and let it come into my hands now.
I ask You to bless us with creative ideas to create wealth and for prophetic insight to know how to move with wisdom in economic shifts.
Father, I ask You to forgive my wrong mindsets and unbelief toward You.
Help me to overcome limited mindsets connected to a spirit of poverty.
I renounce all false gods, idols and wrong beliefs that limit Your ability to bless me. Help me to be financially free, to be a generous and joyful giver, to be a person You can trust with increase and prosperity, and to have the wealth that grants me influence for the sake of advancing the Kingdom of God.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Amazing article. Looks like it’s based on Forgiveness. Forgiveness for the inappropriate use of money and sins that we’ve committed knowing or unknowing. Standing on God’s Promises. Total submission and surrender and giving God the glory. We need to take our authority over satan. Believe and trust in God to bless us.
A really great prayer which I have used twice now. Praise God and thank you Jesus.

Laura,
I so appreciate this. I have been struggling over 10 years with finances since I’ve been a Christian & have pretty much lost everything I had including my spouse & home. Oct 19th 2017 God blessed me with a great job on Coronado Island in California. Unusual hours but nonetheless I’m grateful. I was saving to move as I was in Riverside county at the time when every single dime was stolen out of my account which Im still not recovered from. I’m not giving up but because I was off work so long, everyone wants money from me but I need time to get on my feet financially. Im a responsible person & do plan to pay creditors back but I also need time. Thank God I now live in San Marcos, California so I drive to work. My room mate is a Christian thank God. We both are seeking the Lord for a great church home that recognizes the true nature of the spiritual battle that we are living in these last days. Praise God I’ve been able to overcome other battles, especially the one that almost took my life. God still has me here for a reason. It’s interesting how the battle has shifted financially for me. I have so many visions, plans, dreams & goals to fulfill. God has supplied & will continue to do so. I will not give up the fight! Please continue to do what you’re doing & impacting people’s lives. Please pray God leads us to a true bible believing Holy Spirit filled church in the area. I know God is redirecting me. I really dont belong in corporate America. The assignment God has given me for now is to pray over the Coronado Bridge & the hospital (which is where I work). Amazing how God uses us in the midst of the twists & turns in life if we allow Him to use us. May the power & anointing of God continue to rest on you Laura. I’ll start reading your blog & praying through this powerful & convicting prayer.
Amen!! Hallelujah Jesus!! Thank you for your using your beautiful gift and sharing the word of our Lord with us. ✨♥️
Amen very well written.
I bless God for this prayer!I love how humility was mentioned before praying this prayer. I live calling God “you honor” for He is surely a righteous and gracious and merciful judge! Hallalujah Amen!
