Warfare: Against Witchcraft

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).

Suggested Starting Point: Warfare: Curses & Captivity I (Includes Repentance and the 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 Witchcraft

Satan, the Lord rebuke you (Zechariah 3:2 | Jude 1:9). Behold, you are fallen from heaven like lightning. Christ beheld you fall from heaven like lightning, and He has given us authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy so that nothing will harm us. (Luke 10:18-19)

Lord, “Is not Your Word like as a fire? and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29). Let Your Word that we speak below burn every tare the devil sowed in our lives (Matthew 13:25). Let Your Word that we speak below break as a hammer every power of the evil one for You have given us authority to overcome all the power of the enemy. (Luke 10:19)

• In the Name of Jesus Christ let there be no spell against Jacob and no divination against Israel (Numbers 23:23), let all the sorcerers, witches and warlocks pronouncing curses against us be disabled like Balaam was against Israel (Numbers 23:20)

  
  

• (Deuteronomy 18:10-14 | 2 Kings 17:17, 21:6 | 2 Chronicles 33:6)

  • Lord, we repent for, renounce, denounce, bind and cast out any witchcraft activity making our sons or our daughters pass through the fire, all who practice witchcraft, soothsayers, omen interpreters, sorcerers, all who conjure spells, mediums, spiritists, or those who call up the dead

  • Drive every one of these abominations out from before us so that we shall be blameless before the Lord our God

  • Destroy all works of soothsayers and diviners levied against us

    
    

• (Judges 7:2,7 & 22)

  • We pray that You will deliver us with Your mighty hand from any spiritual enemies rising against us

  • Turn the swords of every spiritual enemy against each other as You did for Israel against the Midianites

  • In Jesus’ Name, let them run away as the army of Midian ran away

    
    

• (2 Kings 6:15-17)

  • We are not afraid because those who are with us are more than those who are with them

  • We call down the horses and chariots of fire that surrounded Elisha around all of us, our families and our bloodlines to eviscerate every army of the devil that comes against us

    
    

• Destroy with Holy Spirit fire all the harlotries of Jezebel and her witchcraft speaking against us (2 Kings 9:22)

  
  

• When the wicked, when witches and warlocks, come upon us to devour our flesh, let these enemies and foes stumble and fall (Psalm 27:2)

• Thwart the schemes of the crafty against us, so that their hands find no success. Catch the wise in their craftiness against us, and sweep away the plans of the cunning. Let them encounter darkness by day and grope at noon as in the night. Rescue us from six calamities, let no harm will touch us in seven (Job 5:12-14 | 19)

  
  

• Be shattered, O you peoples that speak curses against us, and let your curses be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries who send sorceries and witchcraft against us. Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing, speak the word, but it will not stand. For God is with us (Isaiah 8:9-10)

• Empty out from us the spirits of the previous captors speaking against us, and confound their counsel (Isaiah 19:3)

• Let none of their weapons against us prosper (Isaiah 54:17)

• When the enemies, the witches and warlocks, come in like a flood, let The Spirit of the Lord lift up a standard against them (Isaiah 59:19)

  
  

• We will not be afraid of any enemy because You are with us to deliver us. You have declared that You are with us to deliver us (Jeremiah 1:8)

• Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, when the Lord has not commanded it? (Lamentations 3:37). Let their words against us fall to the ground

• Lord, in the Name of Jesus Christ, You come against their magic bands with which they hunted our souls like birds, and tear us from their arms, and let the souls they hunted go free (Ezekiel 13:20)

  
  

• Cut off, Lord, all sorceries operating against us (Micah 5:12)

  • Cut off, Lord, the many harlotries of the harlot, the seductive mistress of sorcery, who betrays nations by her prostitution and clans by her witchcraft (Nahum 3:4)

  • Be for us a swift witness against sorcery (Malachi 3:5)

• Just as the books of those who had practiced magic arts were burned in the sight of all in Acts 19:19, we send the fire of God on any magic that is being or has been practiced against us

Scriptures Used

Judges 7:2,7 & 22 > The Lord told Gideon, You have too many soldiers with you (32,000) for me to drop Midian into their hands, because Israel would become arrogant & say, It was my own abilities that delivered me.

Then the Lord told Gideon, “I’m going to deliver you with the 300 soldiers who lapped by giving the Midianites into your control. Send everyone else back to their own homes. As the 300 trumpets were being sounded, the Lord turned the swords of the Midianite soldiers against one another throughout the entire army, and the army ran away.

2 Kings 6:15-17 > When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Isaiah 42:13 > The Lord goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his zeal; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.
