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 the principalities, against the powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual wickedness in high places that attacks you, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12).
Start Here: Forgive Our Sin
Then Here: Armor of God
Adapted from Psalm 18
Lord our rock and our fortress and our deliverer, our God, our strength, in whom we trust. Our shield and the horn of our salvation, our stronghold. We call upon You Lord, who is worthy to be praised, so shall we be saved from our enemies, from every evil spirit. Though the pangs of death surround us, and the sorrows of Sheol surround us, though the snares of death confront us, we call upon You, Lord, and cry out to You. You hear our voices from Your temple, and our cries come before You, even to Your ears.
Let these enemies all shake and tremble. Let their foundations quake and be shaken because You are angry on our behalf, and come to our help. In the Name of Jesus Christ.
Principalities, fallen angels, and all legalities, doors and strongholds they are using to trouble our lives and to wrestle us; all systems they have created to enslave us [cite systems e.g. bitterness, envy, hatred, malice, unforgiveness etc.]
Forgive us for all legalities we allowed them via our sin, where our will was held captive to do the will of the devil (2 Timothy 2:26)
Let us rise above all these entities exercising dominion over any part of our lives
Let us receive all our blessings and all our answers intercepted by these principalities (Daniel 10:13) [cite blessings/answers you are waiting on]
Help us to walk in love to diffuse all evil systems and atmospheres (Ephesians 5:2)
In the Name of Jesus Christ, let them all shake and tremble. Let their foundations quake and be shaken because You are angry on our behalf, and come to our help.
Powers that have held us captive in bondage [cite bondage e.g. addictions, lying tongues, lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes and pride of life etc.]
Renew our minds against sin binding us (Romans 12:2)
In the Name of Jesus Christ, let them all shake and tremble. Let their foundations quake and be shaken because You are angry on our behalf, and come to our help.
Rulers of the darkness of this world and the laws they have set up against us; raise us above the evil decrees they have ordered over our lives [cite evil decrees over your life e.g. backsliding, delay, disease/infirmity, lust, poverty, prayerlessness, stagnation, setback, unemployment, untimely death etc.]
In the Name of Jesus Christ, let them all shake and tremble. Let their foundations quake and be shaken because You are angry on our behalf, and come to our help.
Spiritual wickedness in high places, that attack, curse or bind us; rise against all their agents, witches etc.
Help us to yield to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16) to understand our weapons
In the Name of Jesus Christ, let them all shake and tremble. Let their foundations quake and be shaken because You are angry on our behalf, and come to our help.
Lord, send out Your arrows and scatter all our spiritual enemies, all evil spirits operating against us [cite]. Send lightning in abundance and vanquish them. Rebuke the channels of the sea drowning us, and uncover every faulty foundation in our lives. Blast the breath of Your nostrils, send from above, take us and draw us out of many waters, deliver us from our strong enemies, and be our support. Deliver us because You delight in us. In the Name of Jesus Christ.
In the Name of Jesus Christ - Light our lamp and enlighten our darkness. By You we run against these troops and leap over these walls. Your way is perfect and You are a shield to all who trust in You. You are the rock that arms us with strength against:
[principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places, that dominate, attack, curse or bind us]
Teach our hands to make war against the kingdom of darkness, so that our arms can bend a bow of bronze against them. Give us the shield of Your salvation, hold us up with Your right hand.
In the Name of Jesus Christ - Bring under our feet [principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places, that dominate, attack, curse or bind us]
Arm us with strength for the battle, subdue under us every satanic enemy that rises up against us. In the Name of Jesus Christ.
In the Name of Jesus Christ - Beat as fine as the dust in the face of the wind [principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places, that dominate, attack, curse or bind us] Cast them that You have crushed out like dirt in the streets. In the Name of Jesus Christ.
The Lord lives! Blessed be our Rock! Let the God of our salvation be exalted. Lord, avenge us, and subdue these enemies under us, deliver us from our enemies. In the Name of Jesus Christ.
Lift us up above [principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places, that dominate, attack, curse or bind us] . In the Name of Jesus Christ.
We give thanks to You, for Your deliverance O Lord, and sing praises to Your Name. Great deliverance You give to Your people and great mercy You show to Your anointed.
