Prior to setting up canopies make sure the enemy has no legal right to launch an assault by doing the following:
- Breaking all agreements with any lies of the adversary.
- Repenting of any known sin.
- Submitting oneself to the Lordship of Jesus.
- Partake of the Covenant Meal, as a prophetic activation of standing in your blood covenant with Him.
Sample prayers for this can be found on the Prayers for Your Tool Kit page:
Key areas to cover in your prayer:
- Ask the Father for Angelic Hosts to be released on your behalf to accomplish the task at hand.
- Set up a personal canopy which encompasses your personal sphere (space within 6″ around you), sealing it with the blood of Jesus.
- As led set up canopies around your home, car, garage, workspace, and a fire wall around your comings and goings for the day, sealing all entry points (doors, windows…) with the blood of Jesus.
- In each canopy, I place a sight a sight and sound barrier to all watchers and hearers of the demonic kingdom, and as led, a black out shield, taking me fully off the radar of the adversary, his cohorts, any individuals empowered by the demonic realm, sealing all canopies with the blood of Jesus.
- As led, set up an additional canopy farther out (3-5 feet). Holy Spirit taught me to do this so that I would have “breathing space” between myself and any battle/warfare taking place, allowing me to be refreshed, strengthened and restful in the midst of the war.
- According to Zech 2:5, there are times I am also led to have Angelic Hosts build a wall, just as Jesus built around Jerusalem would be constructed around my secondary canopy, sealed on all sides and above, and set on fire, with His glory filling the midst that I may bask in His goodness, lovingkindness and be empowered to stand.
Sample Prayer:
Heavenly Father, you are all powerful, the creator of all, and the bestower of good things. I exalt you as the Most High, as I stand before you in the name of Jesus, covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Please dispatch angelic Angelic Hosts on my behalf, to set up (or fortify if done previously) my personal canopy, one around my home, one around my car and one around my garage.
Angelic Hosts, place a sight and sound barrier in each canopy preventing any demonic watchers and hearers, and any humans who are functioning under the influence of the demonic or soul realm from seeing or hearing me in the spirit.
My personal canopy completely encapsulates me, sealed with the blood of Jesus. Place a protective wall, butting up against these canopies, completely sealing them, and set it on fire, then fill the midst with His glory (Zech 2:5), peace, glory and such light (Jesus is both the Prince of Peace and He is light), such that the enemy cannot bear to look my direction.
Place a blood seal at each entry point (doors, windows, technology) of my home, at the top, bottom and each side. Angelic hosts, surround my home and canopies to war on my behalf. I dispatch guards at any doors that are unknown to me, preventing them from being opened, and ask You, Holy Spirit to bring me into perfect alignment with Truth.
(For those living in a house…) I place a canopy at the perimeter of my property, extending from the front two corners, to the back two corners, over the top of the house, down the sides and into the ground below the house, back to the front two corners. Have the canopy completely sealed at all sides, and covered with Jesus’s precious blood. I proclaim in the name of the Jesus, that for all of those outside my immediate family, this blood seal will seal anything of demonic origin attached to or abiding in anyone (or on anything) who steps foot on my property or in my home. Whatever is of demonic origin must leave with the individual or thing and may not function in or manifest while on my property. For those in my immediate family, this blood seal will function as a blood shower, a washing, and a cleansing of any demonic attachments or residue from the day.
I dispatch warring angels to put in place canopies of fire that encircle my comings and goings today, removing all obstacles or traps the enemy has set in place. I declare unhindered, safe travel today. Line the canopies for my travel with the number of angelic hosts which are necessary to secure my safety. Thank You for Your watchful care and protection.
