NB-1: These prayers are intended as a start - may the Holy Spirit take over your warfare prayers.
NB-2: Never pray against people but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12).
Start Here: Forgive Our Sin
Then Here: Unforgiveness
Then Here: Armor of God
Receive Holy Spirit Guidance
Let Your Holy Spirit help us to pray because Your Word says that we do not know how to pray as we ought but that the Holy Spirit helps in our weaknesses and makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26)
Let the Holy Spirit make intercession through and for us according to the will of God (Romans 8:27)
Let the Holy Spirit guide us into all the truth and declare to us the things that are to come (John 16:13)
Let the Holy Spirit baptize us fully as with the apostles, let tongues of Holy Spirit fire rest upon each of us and let us receive Your Holy Spirit power so that we are led by the Holy Spirit in everything pertaining to this life (Acts 1:5-8 & Acts 2:1-4)
Prayer Against Pride and its King (Leviathan)
You are a God who looks on everyone who is proud, and humbles him, You are the Lord who looks on everyone who is proud, and brings them low, You are the God who treads down the wicked in their places (Job 40:12)
In the Name of Jesus Christ (Job 41):
Let the power of God pull out of us Leviathan, that king of all pride with a hook
Let the power of God snare his tongue with a line
Let the power of God put a reed through his nose
Let the power of God pierce his jaw with a hook
Let the power of God leash that king of all pride and make a banquet of him
Let the power of God apportion him among the merchants
Leviathan is not able to stand against the power of Jesus Christ
Let the power of God remove Leviathan's outer coat - remove that skin of harpoons, and the fishing spears on his head
You are a God who looks on everyone who is proud, and humbles him, You are the Lord who looks on everyone who is proud, and brings them low, You are the God who treads down the wicked in their places (Job 40:12)
In the Name of Jesus Christ, break the strength that dwells in the neck of this king of pride
In the Name of Jesus Christ, rip apart the folds of the flesh of this king of pride
In the Name of Jesus Christ, break its heart that is as hard as stone
In the Name of Jesus Christ, when this king of pride raises himself up, crush him
In the Name of Jesus Christ, hide Leviathan in the dust, bind his face in hidden darkness (Job 40:13)
In the Name of Jesus Christ, break the heads of Leviathan in us in pieces, give him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness (Psalm 74:14)
Lord, with Your severe sword, great and strong, punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent, slay the reptile that is in the sea (Isaiah 27:1)
