Great link to Gotta see this - many pictures re: to Basra: This is another good pictoral "map".
Dear Father, we lift up Basra and the forces at war there. We lift up the people of Basra and ask that you reach their hearts and minds with your truth by your Holy Spirit as we ask that the One who has all authority on earth, in heaven, and under the earth - would be right there in the midst of the fighting. Lord Jesus, our strong deliverer, BIND in that place, in Basra - all the forces of darkness, all the demonic spirits localized in that area, and send them OUT away never to return to that region. Lord Jesus, thank you that you "train our hands for war" - the war of prayer and the war of deliverance from evil. Be with all the forces at work to deliver Basra from the grasp of evil, of demonic forces. Cleanse Basra of all such forces and spirits and fill it with YOUR Spirit, sending in YOUR HOLY ANGELS and the Chariots of fire to carry out YOUR WILL in this place of conflict.
Father, we lift up the soldiers fighting for freedom and deliverance of the Iraqi people and to uncover the truth of the evil hidden there. REMOVE THE BLINDERS AND GIVE SIGHT TO ALL THOSE WHO CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH in that area.
Open the prison doors of those who have been held captive there by evil for so many years and cleanse the area of all the forces of darkness filling it with YOUR LIGHT, the LIGHT of truth, justice, and freedom.
Confuse and confound those forces that are now going to be sent OUT of Basra at your command as we hold this strategic area up to you in prayer and protect all those fighting for its deliverance. Give strong wisdom, guidance, and protection to the commanders making the decisions about Basra and especially give courage and help to the people there held captive by the demonic inspired people allied with hell.
Lord Jesus, you said that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against your church. We, the church of Jesus Christ, Unite in intercession for Basra to be delivered and set free in the Name of Jesus Christ! And we will continue to pray for Basra until that freedom and security takes place! AMEN.
(Thank you all for joining the targeted prayer effort and please pass the word to others who might want to join in).
