WARFARE

Heavenly Father, I bow in worship and praise before You. I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as my protection. I

surrender myself completely and unreservedly in every area of my life to You. I take a stand against all the workings of

Satan that would hinder me in my prayer life. I address myself only to the True and Living God and refuse any involvement

of Satan in my prayer.

Satan, I command you, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to leave my presence with all of your demons. I bring the

blood of the Lord Jesus Christ between us.

Heavenly Father, I worship You and give You praise. I recognize that You are worthy to receive all glory and honor and

praise. I renew my allegiance to You and pray that the blessed Holy Spirit would enable me in this time of prayer. I am

thankful, Heavenly Father, that You have loved me from past eternity and that You sent the Lord Jesus Christ into the

world to die as my substitute. I am thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ came as my representative and that through Him You

have completely for­given me; You have adopted me into Your family; You have assumed all responsibility for me; You have

given me eternal life; You have given me the perfect righteousness of the Lord

Jesus Christ so I am now justified. I am thank­ful that in Him You have made me complete, and that You have offered

Yourself to me to be my daily help and strength.

Heavenly Father, open my eyes that I might see how great You are and how complete Your provision is for this day. I am thankful

that the victory the Lord Jesus Christ won for me on the Cross and in His resurrection has been given to me and that I am

seated with the Lord Jesus Christ in the heavenlies. I take my place with Him in the heavenlies and recognize by faith that all

wicked spirits and Satan himself are under my feet. I declare, therefore, that Satan and his wicked spirits are subject to me

in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am thankful for the Armor You have pro­vided. I put on the Girdle of Truth, the Breast­plate of Righteousness, the Sandals

of Peace and the Helmet of Salvation. I lift up the Shield of Faith against all the fiery darts of the enemy; and I take in my

hand the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. I choose to use Your Word against all the forces of evil in my life. I put on

this Armor and live and pray in complete dependence upon You, blessed Holy Spirit.

I am grateful, Heavenly Father, that the Lord Jesus Christ spoiled all principalities and powers and made a show of them

openly and triumphed over them in Himself. I claim all that victory for my life today. I reject all the insinuations, and

accusations, and the tempta­tions of Satan. I affirm that the Word of God is true and I choose to live today in the light of

God's Word. I choose, Heavenly Father, to live in obedience to You and in fellowship with Yourself. Open my eyes and show me the

areasof my life that do not please You. Work in me to cleanse me from all ground that would give Satan a foothold against

me. I do in every way stand into all that it means to be Your adopted child and I welcome all the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

By faith and in dependence upon you I put off the fleshly works of the old man and stand into all the victory of the

crucifixion where the Lord Jesus Christ provided cleansing from the old nature. I put on the new man and stand into all the

victory of the resurrection and the pro­vision He has made for me to live above sin.

Therefore, today I put off all forms of self­ishness and put on the new nature with its love. I put off all forms of fear and put

on the new nature with its courage. I put off all forms of weakness and put on the new nature with its strength. I put off all

forms of lust and put on the new nature with its righteousness, purity, and honesty. I am trusting You to show me how to

make this practical in my daily life.

In every way I stand into the victory of the ascension and glorification of the Lord Jesus Christ, whereby all the principalities and powers

were made subject to Him. I claim my place in Christ as victorious with Him over all the enemies of my soul. Blessed Holy

Spirit, I pray that You would fill me. Come into my life, break down every idol and cast out every foe.

I am thankful, Heavenly Father, for the ex­pression of Your will for my daily life as You have shown me in Your Word. I, therefore,

claim all the will of God for today. I am thankful that You have blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in

Christ Jesus. I am thank­ful that You have begotten me unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

I am thankful that You have made a provision so that today I can live filled with the Spirit of God with love and joy and

peace, with long-suffering, gentleness and goodness, with meek­ness, faithfulness and self-control in my life. I recognize that this

is Your will for me and I therefore reject and resist all the endeavors of Satan and his wicked spirits to rob me of the will of

God. I refuse in this day to believe my feelings and I hold up the Shield of Faith against all the accusations and distortion and

insinuations that Satan would put into my mind. I claim the fullness of the will of God for my life today.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I completely surrender myself to You, Heavenly Father, as a living sacrifice. I choose not to be

conformed to this world. I choose to be trans­formed by the renewing of my mind, and I pray that You would show me Your

will and enable me to walk in all the fullness of Your will today.

I am thankful, Heavenly Father, that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down

of strongholds, to the casting down of imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and to bring

every thought into obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. There­fore, in my own life today I tear down the strongholds of Satan

and smash the plans of Satan that have been formed against me. I tear down the strongholds of Satan against my mind, and

I surrender my mind to You, blessed Holy Spirit. I affirm, Heavenly Father, that You have not given me the spirit of fear, but

of power and of love and of a sound mind. I break and smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my emotions today and

I give my emotions to You.

I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my will today, I give my will to You, and choose to make the right decisions

of faith. I smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my body today, I give my body to You recognizing that I am Your

temple. I rejoice in Your mercy and goodness.

Heavenly Father, I pray that now and through this day You would strengthen and enlighten me, show me the way Satan is hindering

and temp­ting and lying and distorting the truth in my life. Enable me to be the kind of person that would please You. Enable me

to be aggressive in prayer and faith. Enable me to be aggressive mentally, to think about and practice Your Word, and to give

You Your rightful place in my life.

Again, I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that You, blessed Holy Spirit, would bring all the work

of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the glorification, and all the work of Pentecost into my life today.

I surrender myself to You. I refuse to be discouraged. You are the God of all hope. You have proven Your power by

resurrecting Jesus Christ from the dead, and I claim in every way this victory over all satanic forces in my life. I pray in the

Name of the Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving. Amen.
