Warfare Prayer


	Back Warfare Prayer Heavenly Father, I bow in worship and praise before You. I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as my protection during this time of prayer. I surrender every area of my life to You. I do this completely and without any reservations. I take a stand against all the workings of Satan that would hinder me in this time of prayer, and I pray only to the true and living God and I refuse any involvement of Satan in my prayer. Satan, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command you and all your demons, to leave my presence, to leave my home, and to leave my loved ones. And I bring the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ between us. Heavenly Father, I worship You, and I give You praise. I recognize that You are worthy to receive all glory and honor and praise. I renew my allegiance to You. And I pray that the blessed Holy Spirit would enable me in this time of prayer. I am thankful, heavenly Father, that You have loved me from past eternity. I am thankful that You sent the Lord Jesus Christ into the world as my representative to die as my substitute so I can be redeemed and forgiven. I claim that forgiveness right now. You have given me eternal life. You have given me the perfect righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ so I am now justified. I am thankful that in Him You have made me complete and that You have offered Yourself to me to be my daily help and strength. Heavenly Father, open my eyes. Let me see how great You are and how complete Your provision is for this new day. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I take my place with Christ in the heavenlies. And I declare that all principalities and all powers of darkness and all wicked spirits are under my feet. I am thankful that the victory the Lord Jesus Christ won for me on the cross and in His resurrection has been given to me. And I am thankful that I am seated with the Lord Jesus Christ in the heavenlies. Therefore I declare that all principalities and powers and all evil and unclean spirits are subject to me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am thankful for the armor You have provided. Therefore I put on the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the sandals of the gospel of peace, and the helmet of salvation. I lift up the shield of faith against all the fiery darts of the enemy, and I take in my hand the sword of the spirit, the Word of God, and I speak Your Word against all the forces of evil in my life. I put on this armor and live and pray in complete dependence upon You, blessed Holy Spirit. I am grateful, heavenly Father, that the Lord Jesus Christ spoiled principalities and powers and made a public display of their defeat and triumphed over them in Himself. I claim all that victory for my life today. I reject out of my life all the insinuations, the accusations, and the temptations of Satan. I believe that the Word of God is true and I choose to live today in the light of God's Word. Heavenly Father, I choose to live in obedience to You and in fellowship with Yourself. Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life that do not please You. Work in my life so there is no legal ground to give Satan a foothold against me. Show me any area of weakness. Show me any area of my life that I must deal with so I can please You. In every way today I stand for You and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life. By faith and in dependence upon You, I put off the old man and I stand into all the victory of the crucifixion where the Lord Jesus Christ provided cleansing from the old nature. I put on the new man and I stand into all the victory of the resurrection and the provision He has made for me there to live above sin. Therefore, in this day, I put off the old nature with its selfishness, and I put on the new nature with its love. I put off the old nature with its fear and I put on the new nature with its courage. I put off the old nature with its weakness and I put on the new nature with its strength. I put off today the old nature with all its deceitful lusts and I put on the new nature with all its righteousness and purity. In every way I stand into the victory of the ascension and the glorification of the Son of God where all principalities and powers were made subject to Him. And I claim my place in Christ victorious with Him over all the enemies of my soul. Blessed Holy Spirit, I pray that You will fill me. Come into my life. Break down every idol and cast out every foe. Heavenly Father, I am thankful for Your will for my daily life as You have shown me in Your Word. Therefore I claim all the will of God for today. I am thankful that You have blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and that You have begotten me unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. I am thankful that You have made a provision so that today I can live filled with the Spirit of God with love and joy and self-control in my life. And I recognize that this is Your will for me. And I therefore reject and resist all the efforts of Satan and of his demons to rob me of the will of God. I refuse in this day to believe my feelings, and I hold up the shield of faith against all the accusations and against all the insinuations that Satan would put in my mind. I claim the fullness of the will of God for today. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I completely surrender myself to You, Heavenly Father, as a living sacrifice. I choose to not be conformed to this world. Instead, I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind. And I pray that You will show me Your will for my life and enable me to walk in all the fullness of the will of God today. Open my ears so I can hear your voice and know your instructions for this day. I am thankful, Heavenly Father, that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. With these weapons I cast down imaginations and fantasies and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. And I bring every thought into obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore I tear down the strongholds of Satan, and I smash the plans of Satan that have been formed against me and against my loved ones. I tear down the strongholds of Satan against my mind, and I surrender my mind to You, blessed Holy Spirit. I acknowledge, Heavenly Father, that You have not given us the spirit of fear, but You have given us the spirit of power and the spirit of love and the spirit of a sound mind. I break and smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my emotions today, and I give my emotions to You. I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my will today, and I surrender my will to You, and I choose to make the right decisions of faith. I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my body today, and I give my body to You, recognizing that my body is Your temple. And I rejoice in Your mercy and Your goodness. Heavenly Father, I pray that now through this day I will experience your abundant life. Show me how Satan is hindering and tempting and lying and counterfeiting and distorting the truth in my life. Enable me to overcome Satan and his demons so I can be the kind of person that would please You. Enable me to be aggressive in prayer. Enable me to be aggressive mentally and to think Your thoughts after You and to give You Your rightful place in my life. Again, I now cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and I pray that You, blessed Holy Spirit, will bring all the work of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the glorification, all the work of Pentecost, and all the work of the latter rain into my life today. I surrender myself to You. I refuse to be discouraged. You are the God of all hope. You have proven Your power by resurrecting Jesus Christ from the dead. I believe in the resurrection and I claim Your victory in every way over all satanic forces active in my life and in the lives of my loved ones. And I reject and resist these forces. These things I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving. Amen. Written by Dr. Victor M. Matthews Back
