Spiritual Warfare Prayer

Jesus taught that we can have only 24 hours of prayer protection at a time. That means we must begin again everyday and ask for new mercies from God. This is based upon the teachings of Jesus and the apostle Paul.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6:9-13, 34

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we 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.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Ephesians 6:10-18

Jesus told us that we must bind the strong man before we can spoil him.

Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

Matthew 12:29

Spiritual warfare will be ineffective if you harbor any unforgiveness in your heart.

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Matthew 5:23-24

This is just a brief outline. Let the Holy Spirit enrich your prayer life.

  1. Begin by praising and worshiping God the Father, Jesus the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
  2. Rebuke the devil and bind him in the entire world, as far as you and your ministry and life are concerned, for the next 24 hours. This means your health, your family, your job, your children, and everything in which you are involved, in the name of Jesus.
  3. Rebuke and bind all demonic forces in the entire world, as far as you and your ministry and life are concerned, for the next 24 hours. This means your health, your family, your job, your children, and everything in which you are involved, in the name of Jesus.
  4. Take all of your enemies to the Lord, and one by one, ask God to destroy the works of evil that they might be doing against you for the next 24 hours, regardless of whether they live near or far away. Ask God to destroy all evil work of which you might be unaware, in the name of Jesus.
  5. In the name of Jesus, break all curses that people might be speaking against you for the next 24 hours. Include in this any curse you might speak yourself, out of ignorance or unbelief.
  6. Ask God to send out the ministering angels that He has assigned to you, to guide, protect and help you in every way, so that you will be blessed and receive all the things He has for you that day.
  7. Pray for yourself. Ask God to show you what you need to clean up in your personal life. Repent of the sins in your life. Pray that God will keep you well and that you will be anointed during the next 24 hours.
  8. Pray for others on your prayer list. This is when you take their needs to the Lord and intercede for them.
  9. Close by praising the Lord. Thank Him that all your requests are now happening and that victory is on the way.

This is intended to be a morning prayer but there should be continuous prayer throughout the day as needs arise and the Holy Spirit brings things to your mind.

If you have not been filled with the Holy Spirit, ask Jesus to fill you with His Holy Spirit so that you will have more power.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 1:8
