Spiritual Warfare Prayers


Jesus said on the cross. “It is finished”. If it is finished, why do we need Spiritual Warfare Prayers?  First I will not give the devil more credit than the Bible gives him.  1 Peter 5:8: “ be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”  He is not a roaring lion; he is like a roaring lion. We are also told to be vigilant. In Luke 1:18-19: Jesus says: “I saw Satan fall like lightening from Heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

Paul then tells us in Ephesians 6:12: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

This thing that is “like” a roaring lion with his cronies conducts war in the supernatural trying to tempt people into the fiery pit of hell.

How should we go to war?

Confess all of our sins that have not been confessed. Call on the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit come and show me any sin that I have not confessed.
Say, I repent for my sins of _____________________________ [Admit it. Say it aloud.] By GOD’s POWER and JESUS’ NAME, I pray any agreement I made in committing these sins be broken. I cry out to the HOLY SPIRIT empower me to leave this. I need your enduring power to help me take the necessary steps to get out of any environment that I’m in or away from anyone’s or anything’s influence I’m under that draws me back to this sin. HELP ME TURN FROM THIS SIN IN JESUS’ NAME!

Confessing sin takes away the roadblocks

Pray on the full armor of God.
The belt of truth, God is the truth the Word is the only truth.

By faith put on the breastplate of righteousness, Jesus is the only righteous one. I want to be shielded in the righteousness of Jesus, under His Blood is the only protection is the only way to live and be strong to win every day.

My feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace. I want to walk in the Word I want to be totally available to Jesus with the Holy Spirit. I want to be prepared and confident from the Word to live the life that God has prepared.

The helmet of salvation on my head that I would have one mind purified by the Holy Spirit, with God first in everything I think and do.

Take up the shield of faith to fend off all the fire arrows of the evil one.

The sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, the Word stored in our hearts and on our tongue at all times.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and request.

Men in Ministry, we are ready for war! Spiritual Warfare Prayers!

BREAK CURSES In the name of Jesus, I take authority over the curse spoken by me or any others that_________________________ . [confess the verse and then the curse out loud]… I cancel this curse and all its effects, breaking off all the enemies’ power in my life in JESUS’ Name.

RENOUNCE VOWS Read Revelation 12:11  I renounce every unrighteous vow spoken over me, my family, the Men’s Ministry or My Church, by any group or individual, in JESUS’ NAME! Every ungodly vow that cripples, stops, or hinders GOD or HIS WORK in any way either in my life or at My Church I reject these vows and cancel them by the Name of JESUS.

REMOVE ALL SATANIC BLOCKS I bind and break the power of all words and thoughts coming against us, every judgment, evil power, witchcraft prayer, hex, spell, oath, covenant, secrets, agreement, accusation, blame, criticism…I bind and break the power in Jesus’ name. Father, if I have in attitude or word agreed knowingly or unknowingly with these things I ask for forgiveness.

TAKE YOUR STAND AND SHAKE OFF SATAN'S TIES As a Believer, I take my authority from Luke 10:18-21 & John 1:12. I stand on Christ’s side. He is my leader. I am following HIM! As a child of GOD, I actively, in HIS NAME, align myself with HIM body, mind, soul, and spirit.
Now as HIS ambassador I reject every evil hindrance in my life and at My Church, and I command that no spirit and no body remember them. I declare that I AM FREE from thinking, feeling or acting in accordance to these vows by the power of the BLOOD OF JESUS.

IN JESUS NAME I command all familiar spirits or other demonic forces that have attached themselves to this sin, to GO! NOW! YOU CANNOT Influence me anymore. I stand w/JESUS. GOD, I ask YOU to surround my family & me with your protection and angels.

Men in Ministry Following is Fundamental to Christianity


Matthew 4:18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers; Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

The application of the "follow" principle in the Bible is an example or a rule for all Men in Ministry.  The verses in Matthew 4 and repeated in Mark 1 see Jesus calling the Apostles to follow Him.  The calling is part of it maybe the most vital part is the response from the Apostles.

Breaking this down for our life we have to look at the Apostles, what they were doing at the time and how rapidly they responded. The Apostles were busy running their business. These guys were small businessmen. They were fishermen. Peter and Andrew fished for their livelihood. If they did not catch fish, they did not eat. and their families did not eat. 

Jesus called them, in the text it tells us  “At once they left their nets and followed Him. In Mark chapter one, it says in verse 18: “At once they left nets and followed him.” The words are the same so I would deduce that immediately they left their business and followed Jesus. Peter and Andrew dropped everything to follow Jesus.

The Christian principle of following is much like the principle of obedience. Following should be instant, complete and joyful.

The principle of following comes into reality, when we are asked to follow when we do not want to follow. Just like obedience the following principle is most in effect when we do not want to follow or when following creates discomfort.

The Apostles stopped everything they were doing, dropped everything in its place and followed Jesus. Is there a practical application to the "follow" principle? Men in Ministry, the application may be difficult to accept. When our Pastor or a leader designated by the Pastor calls us to do something, remember the Apostles and how they responded.

Men in ministry, if we are going to be men who seek God, then we need to embrace the principles of following and obedience. In both cases, we need to act instantly, joyfully and completely.
