A Prayer For All Souls

This prayer is rooted in the Word of God and in agreement with what He has already spoken. When we declare and decree the Scriptures, we are not speaking our own will, but aligning our hearts and prayers with the will of the Father. God’s Word is truth, and it is His words—not ours—that come to pass. As we pray and agree with what He has said, we remain in His will and trust Him to perform what He has spoken.

Declaring and Decreeing God’s Word

God Himself has said that we may decree a thing, and it shall be established—not by our power, but because we are agreeing with His truth and His purposes and His word..

Job 22:28 (KJV) Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

With this understanding, the Scriptures below are declared and decreed in agreement with the Father’s words. They are spoken in faith, trusting that God is faithful to perform what He has said, for His Word does not return unto Him void. So we decree God's words over His people.

Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV) Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Jeremiah 31:34 (KJV) And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Joel 2:28 (KJV) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

A Prayer For All Souls

Father, Almighty God,

You have declared, “Behold, all souls are Mine.”

The soul of the father and the soul of the son are Yours,

and every life belongs to You alone.

Because all souls are Yours, Father,

I bring all souls before You now—

the known and the unknown,

the near and the far,

the living and the lost.

You have promised that a day would come

when none would need to say, “Know the LORD,”

for all shall know You,

from the least to the greatest.

You have said You will forgive iniquity

and remember sin no more.

For this mercy, I thank You.

Lord, do what You have spoken.

Pour out Your Spirit upon all flesh,

as You promised—

on sons and daughters, old and young,

on every heart You have made.

Pour out Your Spirit, Father,

so that people may come to know You,

to walk in Your truth,

and to live by the life You give.

All souls are Yours.

May all souls come to know You.

I ask this in faith, trusting Your Word,

Amen.
