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


Adapted Prayer

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 our God:

  • “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.


  • Lord, unleash Your burning anger and consume like stubble, every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place that sets itself against us (Exodus 15:7 | Ephesians 6:12)

  • Let Your fire go before us and consume every evil power launched against us (Psalm 97:3 | Matthew 25:41 | Genesis 6:4 | Numbers 13:3)

  • Send Your angels like winds, Your angels like flames of fire to consume every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place that sets itself against us (Psalm 104:4 | Hebrews 1:7)

  • Lord Jesus, You said You came to bring fire on this earth - let that fire burn every evil power and curse that captured our souls and burn Satan himself along with all his prisons and cages where he held us captive to do his will (Luke 12: 49 | 2 Timothy 2:26)

  • Your Word says You are like a fire that burns everything up (Hebrews 12:29). Your Word says that Your eyes are as a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14). Burn up and consume every cage, every instrument of spiritual captivity working against us.

  • As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, let every non-human or evil spiritual tare sown into our lives by any principality, any power, any ruler of the darkness of this world, and any spiritual wickedness in any high place, sown as we slept or in our waking hours, be gathered up and burned in Your fire (Matthew 13:40).

    • Let every evil tare be burned by God's fire: tares of idolatry, addiction - including addiction to phones and social media, evil covenants, prayerlessness, inability to fast, pride, envy, covetousness, worldliness, lust, unemployment, debt, stagnation, delay, setback etc. - let all these tares be destroyed by God's fire.

  • Lord Jesus Christ, let the burning fire that will appear with You from heaven burn every devil operating against us, let it burn every curse sent against us (2 Thessalonians 1:7). Let it burn every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place that sets itself against us.

  • Your Word says that You proclaim liberty to the captives (Isaiah 61:1) – Father let the fire appearing with Jesus Christ and His powerful angels liberate us from all captivity of our bodies, souls, spirits, minds and hearts (2 Thessalonians 1:7).

  • We are calling on Your Name, Lord, we are calling on Your Name. Answer by fire because You are God. Answer for us by fire (1 Kings 18:24)

  • Let the fire that came down to burn Elijah’s sacrifice burn every bond and yoke of captivity on our bodies, souls and spirits (1 Kings 18). Let it burn every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place launched against us (Ephesians 6:12).


  • Let Your Holy Spirit fire that touched the apostles on Pentecost touch us and baptize us with Holy Spirit fire (Acts 2:3). Let the Holy Spirit fire John the Baptist testified about baptize us now (Luke 3:16)!

  • Let Your Spirits of fire that burn before Your throne burn on our behalf, burn inside of us, and burn every demon, every devil and every evil spirit that operates against us (Revelation 4:5).


  • Let that fire bring us rest in our troubles (2 Thessalonians 1:7)


In the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen
