SPIRITUAL WARFARE PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I come before You in praise, worship and adoration. Thank You for sending
Your Son Jesus to give me life, to give me forgiveness, to give me a place in Your family. Thank
You for sending the Holy Spirit to guide me and empower me in my daily life. Heavenly
Father, open my eyes that I may see your greatness, your majesty, your victory on my behalf.
I place myself now under the cross of Jesus Christ and cover myself with the Precious Blood of

4
Jesus. I surround myself with the light of Christ and say in the name of Jesus that nothing shall
interfere with the Lord's work being accomplished in my life.

I put on God's armor to resist the devil's tactics. I stand my ground with truth buckled around
my waist and integrity for a breastplate. I carry the shield of faith to put out the burning
arrows of the evil one. I accept salvation from God to be my helmet and receive the word of
God from the Spirit to use as a sword.

Heavenly Father please show me any way that Satan has a hold of my life. I let go of all those
ways now. Any territory I have handed over to Satan I now re- claim and place under the
Lordship of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ I bind all spirits of the air, fire, water,
ground, underground and nether world. I bind all forces of evil and claim the Blood of Jesus
on the air, the atmosphere, the water, the ground and their fruits around us, the
underground and the nether world. In the name of Jesus Christ I seal this room and all
members of my family, relatives, associates and all sources of supply in the Blood of Jesus
Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ I forbid every spirit from any source from harming me in
any way.

In the name of Jesus Christ I reject the seductive lure of evil in all its forms and refuse to let
sin have dominion over me. I reject Satan and all his works and all his empty promises.
Heavenly Father, I ask forgiveness for myself, my Friends, relatives and ancestors for calling
upon powers that set themselves up in opposition to Jesus Christ. I renounce all openness to
the occult, all false worship and all benefits from magical arts. In the name of Jesus, I break
any curses that may be coming against me or my family.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind you spirit of ( Ask the Lord to reveal the name, if you are
not sure about it say the negative emotion/thought. i.e. anger, unforgiveness, fear, insecurity,
illness, trauma, sadness, selfishness, lies, lust, pride, envy, gluttony, loneliness, despair, etc). I
bind you away from me now, in Jesus’ name. Lord Jesus, fill me with your love to replace the
fear, fill me with strength to replace the weakness, etc. (Ask Lord to replace each negativity
with a positive one. i.e. patience, compassion, courage, security, health, healing, joy,
selflessness, truth, love, humility, self-contentment, self-control, hope, etc).

Loving Father, let the cleaning, healing waters of my baptism flow back through the
generations to purify my family line of communication. Thank You Lord for setting me free.
(Spend few moments in spontaneous praise).

SONG:
In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus,
We have the victory, ALLELUIA
In the name of Jesus, In the name of Jesus,
Demons will have to flee.
When we stand in the name of Jesus,
tell me who can stand before us,
In the name of Jesus Jesus we have the victory
Demons will have to flee

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to etc.)

in a deeper way. I say "Yes", to You today. I open all the secret places of my heart to You and
say, "Come on in."

"Take, Lord, and receive, all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all
that I have and possess. You have given all to me. To You, 0 Lord, I return it. All is Yours.
Dispose of it wholly according to Your will. Give me Your love and Your grace, for this is
sufficient for me."

Pray this prayer from your heart, and surrender yourself with each of your words, (add
more memories if they come spontaneously), with an opening of yourself to God. Pause
and ask “Holy Spirit, is there anything else I should surrender”.

SONG:
All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him in His presence daily live.

my ability, and now I want to be filled with Your Spirit. I need Your power in my life. Please

"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the
riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding" (Ephesians

You are the Potter I am the clay
Mould me and make me this is what I pray
Change my heart O Lord
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to etc.)

8. SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: (5 Minutes)

"Today I am freeing you from the chains on your wrists," Jeremiah 40:4.

Scripture is one of our most important avenues of interaction with the Lord along with the
direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

As you begin this section just say simply, "Lord, please speak to me through Your
word today." Open your Bible, browse through it, and allow a word or a phrase to
catch your attention. Once something catches your eyes, stop there. If, for example,
the word, "hope," catches your" eye, ponder the meaning of it. Ask the Lord why that
word captured your attention. Perhaps the phrase "integrity of heart" will suddenly
speak to you. Ask, "Holy Spirit, what do you want to teach me through this word?"
Continue to meditate on the reflection.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to etc.)

9. WAIT FOR THE LORD TO SPEAK: (5 minutes)

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him ' (Psalm 37:7).

Use this time simply to listen to the Lord. How is He encouraging you? Exhorting you?
Directing you? Be still and listen. Pray, "Lord, teach me how to be a good listener." This is one
of the most special times in the "Miracle Hour." The Lord tells us "My sheep listen to my
voice." (John 10:27).

We as Christians who sincerely want to progress in our relationship with the Lord, we must
find a quiet place, away from noisy distractions, and simply listen to the voice of our Lord.
Often it helps to close your eyes. He wants to speak to us more than we want to listen. He is a
God of love and love longs to communicate. Have a pen and note pad handy, and expect Him
to speak. The previous steps have built up to this wonderful moment you have quieted your
mind, your heart is open, your conscience is clear, and you are centered on the Lord. And, if
you are like most of us, you need a word of encouragement from the Lord. Say, with Samuel,
"Speak, for your servant is listening" (1 Samuel 3:10). As words or thoughts begin to come
into your mind, write them in your notebook. Most probably, it will be the Lord giving you a
word of loving encouragement, hope and healing. You will grow in ability to hear Him speak
throughout your daily affairs, as you spend quality time in prayer and scripture. Finally, it is
also true that love does not require words. God may love you in the silence as well.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to etc.)

10
10. INTERCESSIONS: (5 minutes)
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for
everyone..." (1Timothy 2:1).

One of the greatest gifts we can give each other is the gift of prayer. This is the time to pray
for other people. Pray for nations and leaders, pastors and those in authority. Pray for the
homeless, aborted babies, the sick and the dying. Pray for those who have no one to pray for
them. Pray for your enemies. Pray for your family, friends, and associates. Most importantly,
ask the Holy Spirit to bring people to mind. He surely will. Their names probably will continue
to come to mind throughout the day, once you make yourself avail- able, because the Lord is
always looking for someone willing to pray. As their names come to you, simply lift them to
the Lord. Ask Him to help them, to bring them to whole- ness, to forgive them, to touch them
with His love, to release His power on their behalf. Pray with simple faith, as a little child
turning to Daddy, knowing He longs to give you what you want. You might ask, "Lord, what
does this person need?" Often an area of need will come to mind. When it does you can say
simply, "Lord. Abba. Please meet that need." Pray simply, from your heart. Pray, "Father, I
pray Your heart's desire be done in their lives." He prompted you to ask, so you can be sure
that He will do something about the need! Will you also pray for other people doing their
"Miracle Hour," that their prayers will be answered too'! "The prayer of a righteous man [and
"woman] is Powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

o Let us lift up all the prayer intentions of those who have requested our
prayers.
o Let us also pray for the families who are before and after our prayer time slot.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to etc.)

11. PETITIONS: (5 minutes)

“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence. So that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need"(Hebrews 4:16) us in our time of
need" (Hebrews 4: 16).
This is a time for you to ask the Lord to meet your needs. Get in the habit of asking for
everything throughout the day: parking places, green lights, favor with the boss, etc. This
builds a comfortable free interaction with the Lord that will make it easier to ask expectantly,
when there are serious needs. Do you have certain fears that need to be released? Do you
have a weight problem'? A health concern? Do you have difficulty with an annoying person?
How about holding up to the Lord the long term goals for your life? Be specific. It helps to
write down intercessions and petitions, as well as goals, so that when they are answered faith
will increase. "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks,
the door will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8).

Let us place our own personal intentions and ask for personal blessings.
SONG:
Have Your way Have Your way
Holy Spirit fill our hearts And have Your way
As we wait (we wait on You Lord)
And as we pray (we pray to You)
Speak Your Word into our hearts
And have Your way (Have Your way)

11
 (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to etc.)

Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy one
Give thanks because he is given Jesus Christ His Son
And now let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of What the Lord has done for us. Give Thanks

Let Your light shine in us today.
