Introductory Prayer

(John 14:14) Father, I come to You in Jesus' Name.
(Ephesians 3:16) I ask you to strengthen me with might by Your Spirit in my inner man,
(Zechariah 4:6) for it is "not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of hosts.
(Exodus 12:21-23) I ask You to cover me and my family with the blood of Jesus,
(Job 1:10) and make a hedge about me*, for protection from Satan's attacks.
(Ephesians 6:11-12) I put on the whole armour of God, that I may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For I wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
(Ephesians 6:14-17) I stand therefore, having my loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and my feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And I take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God,
(Isaiah 58:8) and the glory of the Lord is my rearward.
(2 Corinthians 10:3-4) I shall not war after the flesh, for the weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but mighty through You.
(Isaiah 54:17) No weapon that is formed against me* shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against me* in judgement shall be condemned.
(2 Chronicles 20:12,15,17) I have no might against this great company that comes against me*; neither know I what to do: but my eyes are upon you. I shall not be afraid nor dismayed, for the battle is not mine, but Yours. I set myself, I stand still, and see Your deliverance.
(Jeremiah 15:20-21) Make me* as a fenced brazen wall, so that though Satan's hosts shall fight against me*, they shall not prevail against me*, for You are with me* to deliver me* out of the hand of the wicked one and redeem me* out of the hand of the terrible.
(1 Corinthians 15:57) Thanks be to You, O God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Spiritual Warfare (not a prayer)

(Zechariah 3:2) The Lord rebuke you, Satan!
(John 14:14) I come against you in the name of Jesus,
(Ephesians 6:10) and in the power of His might,
(Revelation 1:6) for He has made us kings and priests to rule with Him in spiritual authority,
(Ephesians 2:6) and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
(Matthew 18:18) What I shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,
(1 John 4:4) for greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.
(Matthew 12:29) Therefore, I bind the strong man,
(Ephesians 6:12) and cast down the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places over this situation.
(Mark 9:25) I rebuke you foul spirits that are seeking to manipulate, intimidate, frustrate and destroy in this situation.
(John 10:10) I rebuke you foul spirits of __________ that are operating and manifesting yourselves in the lives of __________ (list names), and all those in agreement with them. I command you to desist in your manoeuvres.
(James 4:7) I resist you, devil, and you must flee from me*.
(2 Corinthians 10:4-5) I pull down strongholds; I cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ, and I bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Concluding Prayer

(Matthew 26:53) I ask you, Father, to give me more than twelve legions of angels to do spiritual warfare in this situation,
(2 Kings 6:16) for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
(Matthew 18:18) I loose the power of the Holy Spirit to move freely and save souls in this situation.
(Acts 2:43) Thank you that the fear of the Lord is coming upon every soul watching this situation,
(Acts 12:24) and that Your Word is growing and multiplying,
(Isaiah 55:11) for Your Word shall not return void, but it shall accomplish what You please and prosper in the thing whereto You send it.
(Colossians 3:15) Thank You that Your peace is ruling in my heart,
(Romans 5:5) and that Your love is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit that dwells in me. Amen.
