We come boldly to You Father, for Your word says we should always pray and not faint, and that Your ears are ever attentive to our cry. Hear our petitions today, on behalf of our people, our land and our Territory.
We put You in remembrance of Your word, as we decree and declare what it says in the scriptures. Therefore, by divine authority, we cancel every evil report of disasters, tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, freak storms and the like – they are demonic interference according to Mark 4:35-40, and we abort their effect in the name of Jesus Christ. Father we declare the blood of Jesus speaks for us today. The blood heals, cleanses and protects. Therefore, we cover ourselves with the precious blood of Jesus.
Prayer of Protection and Safety
According to Psalm 91, we cover our families, our homes, our city and our Territory. We declare no weapon of hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, floods or tsunamis formed against us shall prosper. We take divine authority over every power of darkness through storms and abort their assignments, in the name of Jesus Christ. We call the storms by name and speak death and cancellation to each one according to Isaiah 7:7: 2019 HURRICANE LIST OF NAMES Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dorian, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Imelda, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van and Wendy— (You shall not stand, neither will you come to pass in our territory, in the name of Jesus Christ.)
Moreover, Father, we put You in remembrance of our testimony, “You prevented Hurricane Louie from invading our land eighteen years ago.” We boldly declare, we overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Now, let the redeemed of the LORD say so and let every messenger of Satan be arrested in the name of Jesus. By divine authority we rebuke the beast riding upon the winds, and command the winds to hush, in the name of Jesus.
Your word says in Psalm 104:3, “it is God who made the clouds His chariot, and He walks upon the wings of the wind.” We therefore rebuke and cancel every counterfeit wind, in the name of Jesus Christ.
We speak to powers and principalities on the earth and command them to halt their activities, in the name of Jesus Christ. We cancel every stronghold which the enemy has built to create fear and anxiety in the minds of the people in our land. We abort their effects and command stress, frustration and every evil activity operating, or coming to the Virgin Islands to cease now, in the mighty name of Jesus!
Prayer to Bind and Loose
We bind and rebuke all moon deities and demons operating through the moon in the name of Jesus. 2 Kings 23:5. By divine authority, we bind and rebuke every organized activity in the heavens that would operate against this territory through hurricanes, the sun, moon, earthquakes, tsunamis and floods, in the name of Jesus Christ. We bind and rebuke any ungodly forces operating against this land through Arcturus, Pleiades, Mazzarroth and Orion. Job 9:9, Job 38:31-32. We bind the prince of the power of the air in Jesus name. Ephesians 2:2. We bind and rebuke every spirit that would creep against us at night. Psalm 104:20. We break and disannul all demonic blood covenants made through sacrifice that would affect our land in the name of Jesus. We release the fire of God to burn up the idols in this land, and this territory. Deuteronomy 7:5.

Prayer for our Leaders
Father, Your word in 1Timothy 2:1-3 exhorts us to pray for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life. Your word also states that righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34). In response to your word we lift our government leaders, in all sectors of the Virgin Islands government. The governor, lieutenant governor, the senate, the court system, the commissioners and all decisionmaking leadership, and those creating laws by which this territory is run. We pray for Your wisdom and direction and that they come into divine alignment as they administer the affairs of the people. We pray that they function with skill and integrity as they perform their responsibilities, so that the resources that You provide for us, are maximized for the good of all the people and this territory.
Father we ask that You draw them by Your Spirit that they may come to know you and the power of Your salvation, for You desire that none perish.
Prayer for the Body of Christ

Attention: To everyone who participated in Praying Prayers of Protection Against Natural Disasters in the Territory of the U. S. Virgin Islands, during the month of June 2019.
A heartfelt thank you for joining with us for Prayers of Protection Against Natural Disasters. We prayed with assurance for protection, peace, and for God’s presence to be with us during our Twenty-Four-Hour Prayer Watch in the Territory.
The Lord Jesus Christ is our intercessor. Even now He is at the right hand of God interceding on our behalf for the prayers prayed during the month of June 2018 (Rom. 8:34).
Henceforth, we can enter into God’s gate with thanksgiving and praise Him for orchestrating the meteorologist’s reports, “the Atlantic Ocean warm waters are being reversed to cold waters, and the easterly trade winds are weakening” so that hurricanes will not be imminent.
This is the victory we have in the goodness of our LORD, Jesus Christ, whose report we believed. Shalom!

Current Hurricane Pattern for 2019
The weather forecast is changing to a cooling of sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean. The water in the tropical Atlantic is the coldest in decades. As reported by the Washington Post, that may standstill hurricane season.
Hallelujah the season for an active Atlantic hurricane appears to be declining. This means that the water could have profound impacts on this year’s hurricane season because warm water is the fuel source for tropical storms.
The temperatures at the surface of the Atlantic Ocean have become strangely cooler than normal. The cool waters of the Tropical Atlantic Ocean are being driven by northerly winds around the eastern border. Cooler water surpasses the thunderstorms that are building blocks of hurricanes, and the trade Atlantic winds are weakening. Remarkably, it is recorded that the water in the tropical Atlantic is the coldest in decades since 1980.
The word of God says, “Call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3).” He is answering our prayers and the good news should bring some relief to all.
However, we must continue to remain vigilant in prayer and not let our guard down - not forgetting Hurricane Maria/Irma. With ten more days of our V.I. Prayer Watch for the month of June 2018, we will be intensifying our prayer time and will continue to pray:
Be encouraged and know that God is listening and enjoys your time with Him.
