Cleansing & Protection Prayers
Repositioned in Christ, Not Ruled by Fear
You just finished praying with someone. Heavy stuff—healing prayer, deliverance, someone's deepest pain. And now you feel... drained. Maybe heavy. Maybe just off.
I've seen this countless times in ministry settings. Someone prays with beautiful faith and compassion, pouring their heart out for another person's breakthrough. But afterward, there's this look—a mixture of concern and confusion. They wonder if they did something wrong, if they're spiritually vulnerable now, if they need to "fix" something.
The question hits: Do I need to pray something to cleanse myself? Should I ask for protection? Did something stick to me?
It's become so common that many ministry teams now automatically pray lengthy cleansing and protection prayers after every session, almost like spiritual hand sanitizer. But what if we're missing something deeper?
