The enemy never has the ultimate say in our lives when we belong to Christ. In God's hands, we are safe.

Never be held back by fear or failure as you press on – bold and free. The struggle belongs to the Lord, and He will triumph in the end.

What is spiritual warfare in Bible?

Spiritual warfare is the Christian concept of combating supernatural evil powers at work. It is founded on the biblical belief in evil spirits, often known as demons, who are thought to meddle in human affairs in a variety of ways. Although neo-charismatic churches emphasize spiritual warfare, other Christian denominations and groups have adopted behaviors based on spiritual warfare notions, with Christian demonology frequently playing a crucial role in these practices and beliefs.

Prayer is one of the most prevalent forms of “spiritual warfare” used by these Christians. Exorcism, the laying on of hands, fasting with prayer, praise and worship, and anointing with oil are examples of other practices.

By Mark Bubeck

Father in Heaven, In front of You, I bow in worship and praise. During this moment of prayer, I cover myself in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for protection. In every area of my life, I entirely and unconditionally give myself to You. I take a stance against all Satan's schemes that would obstruct my prayer, and I exclusively pray to the true and living God, refusing to allow Satan to interfere with my prayer.

I adore You and worship You, Heavenly Father. I acknowledge that You are deserving of all glory, honor, and praise. I pledge my loyalty to You once more, and I ask that the Holy Spirit would guide me in this time of prayer. I am grateful to You, almighty Father, for loving me from the beginning and sending the Lord Jesus Christ into the world to die as my substitution so that I might be redeemed. I am grateful that the Lord Jesus Christ came to represent me, and that You have forgiven me entirely; You have given me eternal life; You have given me the perfect righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am now justified. I am grateful that You have made me full in Him, and that You have volunteered to be my daily support and strength through Him.

Come and open my eyes, Heavenly Father, so that I may see how wonderful You are and how full Your provision is for this new day. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I take my place in the heavenlies alongside Christ, with all principalities and powers (dark spirits and evil spirits) under my feet. I am grateful for the victory that the Lord Jesus Christ won for me on the cross and in His resurrection, and that I am seated with the Lord Jesus Christ in the heavenlies; therefore, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I declare that all principalities and powers, as well as all wicked spirits, are subject to me.

I'm grateful for the armor You've given me, and I've donned the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the sandals of peace, and the helmet of salvation. I raise my faith shield against all the enemy's fiery darts, and I take the sword of the spirit, the Word of God, in my hand, and wield Your Word against all the forces of evil in my life; and I put on this armor and live and pray in complete dependence on You, dear Holy Spirit.

I thank you, almighty Father, that the Lord Jesus Christ ruined all principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them and triumphing over them in Himself. Today, I claim all of that victory for my life. All of Satan's insinuations, accusations, and temptations are rejected from my life. I declare that God's Word is true, and I choose to live today in accordance with it. I choose to live in obedience to You and friendship with You, heavenly Father. Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life where You would be dissatisfied. Work in my life so that Satan doesn't have a stronghold against me. Show me any flaws you have. Show me any aspect of my life where I need to improve in order to please You. Today, I stand for You and the Holy Spirit's work in my life in every way.

I throw off the old man and stand in all the victory of the crucifixion, where the Lord Jesus Christ offered cleansing from the old nature, by faith and in dependence on You. I put on the new man and take up all of the victory of the resurrection, as well as the provision He has created for me to live a life free of sin. As a result, I am putting off the old nature with its selfishness today and putting on the new nature with its love. I removed the old nature's fear and replaced it with the new nature's courage. I removed the old nature's flaws and replaced them with the new nature's strength. Today, I threw off my old nature with all of its deceptive lusts and put on my new nature with all of its righteousness and purity.

In every way, I claim my place in Christ, victorious with Him over all the enemies of my soul, in the victory of the ascension and glorification of the Son of God, where all principalities and powers were brought subordinate to Him. I ask that You, Holy Spirit, would fill me. Come into my life and demolish every idol and expel every opponent.

I am grateful, heavenly Father, for the way You have revealed Your will for my everyday life in Your Word. As a result, I claim all of God's will for today. I am grateful for all spiritual blessings in heavenly realms that You have bestowed upon me through Christ Jesus.

I am grateful that by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave, You have given me a live hope. I am grateful that You have provided a way for me to live today full with the Spirit of God, filled with love, joy, and self-control. And I understand that this is Your will for me, and I reject and resist Satan's and his demons' attempts to deprive me of God's will.

I refuse to believe my feelings today, and I raise the shield of faith against all the accusations and insinuations that Satan would want to instill in my mind. For today, I claim the entirety of God's will.

I entirely give myself to You, heavenly Father, as a living sacrifice, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I've made the decision not to adhere to this world's expectations. I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, and I hope that You will reveal Your will to me today and empower me to walk in all of God's will.

I am grateful, dear Father, that the weapons of our struggle are not carnal, but mighty through God in tearing down strongholds, throwing down imaginations, and bringing every thought into obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. As a result, in my own life today, I am tearing down Satan's strongholds and smashing Satan's plots that have been constructed against me. I break down Satan's mental fortifications and surrender my thoughts to You, precious Holy Spirit. I declare, almighty Father, that You have not given us the spirit of fear, but rather the spirit of power, love, and wisdom. Today, I destroy and smash Satan's strongholds built against my emotions, and I surrender my emotions to You. Today, I demolish the strongholds that Satan has built against my will, and I surrender my will to You, choosing to make the correct decisions of faith. Today, I crush the strongholds that Satan has built against my body, and I surrender my body to You, acknowledging that I am Your temple; and I delight in Your kindness and goodness.

Heavenly Father, I pray that You would quicken me today and show me how Satan is obstructing, enticing, lying, counterfeiting, and distorting the truth in my life. Allow me to be the type of person that pleases You. Allow me to be assertive in my prayer. Allow me to be mentally combative, to think Your thoughts and to give You Your rightful place in my life.

I now cover myself in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that You, precious Holy Spirit, would bring all the work of the crucifixion, resurrection, glory, and Pentecost into my life today. I give myself over to You. I'm not going to give up. You are the all-hopeful God. You have demonstrated Your strength by raising Jesus Christ from the dead, and I claim Your triumph in every way over all evil powers working in my life, which I reject, and I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with gratitude.

Kings 6:15-17 (NIV)

15 An army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city when the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning. “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no “What are we going to do?” the servant inquired.

16 “Do not be alarmed,” the prophet replied. “Those with us are more valuable than those with them.”

17 Elisha then prayed, “Lord, open his eyes so he can see.” The Lord then opened the servant's eyes, and he saw the hills surrounded Elisha with horses and fire chariots.

Chronicles 20:20-21 (NIV)

20 They left early in the morning for the Tekoa Desert. “Listen to me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem!” Jehoshaphat said as they left. You will be maintained if you have confidence in the Lord your God; if you have faith in his prophets, you will be victorious.” 21 Following consultation with the people, Jehoshaphat ordered men to sing to the Lord and laud him for the splendor of his holiness as they led the army away, saying:

How do you pray powerfully?

I adore Luke 5:16 because it demonstrates that, like you and me, Jesus needed to recharge his batteries and spend time with his Heavenly Father. The life of Christ is meant to serve as a model for us to follow and learn from. So, despite being God incarnate, Jesus didn't use his superpowers as the Son of God to deal with life's difficulties. Instead, he would “sneak away” to pray when he was tired, burdened, or in need of spiritual refreshment, tapping into the power, perception, and purpose that can only be found in God's presence.

Prayer is one of the most potent tools God has given us, and I believe it has never been more vital for God's people to be on their knees than it is now, as we look ahead to 2022. However, knowing how to pray isn't always simple. The followers of Jesus were perplexed as well. They were familiar with the Torah's frequently repeated prayers. But Jesus prayed with a might and authority they had never seen before, as if God was listening! So, according to Matthew 6, when they came to Jesus, they didn't say, “Teach us another prayer.” “Lord, teach us to pray,” they prayed.

Christ's response is the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13). It's a lovely prayer that every Christian should remember; I challenged my granddaughter to do so. I don't believe Jesus intended it to become another ritualistic prayer, as beautiful as the words are. It was intended to serve as an example of how to pray.

Here are eight strategies to developing a more strong and effective prayer life that I've discovered. I hope they inspire you to make the year 2022 a year of prayer.

What does Psalms 27 say?

David's Psalm 27 Whom shall I fear if the LORD is my light and my salvation? Whom shall I fear if the LORD is the stronghold of my life? They will slip and fall when evil men march against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and foes attack me.

How do you pray to God for protection from evil?

As I begin this day, I pray for Your protection. You are my safe haven, and I can always find sanctuary under Your wings. Keep me safe from harm wherever I go, and keep evil at bay. I shall look to You as my Protector, the one who battles for me every day, no matter where I am.

Your love and constancy, as well as Your goodness and mercy, surround me on a daily basis, so I will not be afraid of anything. God, I put my trust in You and thank You for Your kindness and protection.

How do you pray against your enemies?

I command the storm of destruction to gather upon every satanic power that is against my health IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS! I decree and declare great casualty upon witches and wizards operating in my neighborhood, the judgment of God shall torment the powers of darkness working against me both at night and in the morning, the night shall carry terror and anger against all satanic powers that are standing against me, the night shall carry terror and anger against all satanic powers that

RIGHT NOW, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, my prayers have become earthquakes and storms in the devil's camp that is against my life; the Lord shall gather his armor against powers that are against my intellectual growth; all sickness in my life, known or unknown, receives heavenly storm; all conspiracy against any part of my body receives destruction now!

I order the deep wells inside me to be freed and broken forth in the name of JESUS!

What does it mean the Lord will fight for you?

When Moses is leading the Israelites out of Egypt, they come to a legendary standoff as they approach the Red Sea in Exodus. With the Egyptians behind them and the river stretching out in front of them, many Israelites debate whether they should give up or surrender to the enemy. They've become hasty, desperate, and alone. After such a fight to leave a nation where the people were slaves, where they are so fearful, so frightened, they are ready to give up, I appreciate the verse that follows.

13 Moses responded to the people by saying, “Don't be scared. Maintain your resolve, and the LORD will bring you deliverance today. The Egyptians you see now are the last Egyptians you will ever see. 14 “All you have to do is be still and the LORD will fight for you.”

I adore this scene and the message it conveys. Moses has matured as a leader, boldly declaring what God has always promised. When it would be so easy to be terrified, Moses is full of trust.

Even more astonishing, he's echoing what we hear in Psalm 46:10, the word of salvation “Be still and know that I am God,” says the Lord.

This was one of the most important lessons I learned during Lent this year: patience and faith. This belief that by being motionless, I make place for God, for God's activity, for something bigger to happen than what I might do next if I acted alone. Being still allows me to reflect, listen, and wait. Being still implies I am aware that God is with me, leading me, and that I have surrendered to His direction. Being still demonstrates my faithfulness, as well as my need for, love for, and confidence for God. One simple move with a lot of silent, meaningful meaning.

How does God fight for us?

God is battling on our behalf. He did not bring us into this world and then abandon us. He desires that we approach Him with humble hearts and seek for His assistance. We are demonstrating our faith and confidence by doing so. But first, we must accept that we cannot fight these wars alone. When we rely solely on our own strength, we get tired, burdened, dejected, and exhausted.

What does it mean the battle is not yours?

While encircled by terrifying forces on all sides, King Jehoshaphat set out to seek the Lord's face. The Lord was faithful and spoke through His prophet.

“Listen, people of Judah and Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be neither afraid nor dismayed because of this huge crowd; for the war is not yours, but God's.” 20:15 in 2 Chronicles.

“Ye shall not need to fight in this war; set yourselves, stand still, and see the Lord's salvation with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be frightened; go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord will be with you.” 20:17 in 2 Chronicles.

When they heard these words of encouragement, everyone prostrated themselves before the Lord, worshiping and adoring Him. Today, the Lord is saying the same thing to you or someone you want to help in your position. Because He loves you, have faith in Him. Even when you're being assaulted by forces far greater than yourself, you don't have to live in fear and despondency. You must keep in mind that the war is not yours, but rather the Lord's. Keep your eyes fixed on God's salvation. That isn't to say that you should remain motionless and do nothing. God still sent Jehoshaphat's forces and peoples into battle, but they were reminded that the Lord was fighting for them and would stay with them to turn the tide of the conflict. It's a posture of hope, believing and accepting God's Word regardless of the reports or circumstances. As you focus your thoughts, faith, and hopes on Him, He will guide you in your decision-making, just as He guided the king.

This brings us to another point. Sometimes the Lord leads you to do things that appear to be completely opposite to what the world would suggest. Jehoshaphat conferred with the people just before the army of Judah marched out to the battlefield. He chose worshippers to march in front of the troops, singing praises to the Lord. If you said it to a general in charge of an army in Iran, he'd fire you and possibly send you to a psychological assessment. You wouldn't be an advisor any longer, for sure. You'd be labeled an idiot and told that you should understand how important it is to go into stealth mode in order to get a tactical advantage over your opponents. It would sound more like a suicide mission than a strong military tactic if a group of worshipers sang praises to God at the top of their lungs, revealing their position.

As the people followed God's commands, the Lord sent ambushes, confusing the enemy to the point where they attacked each other instead of Judah. When Judah's forces arrived behind the praisers on the battlefield, they beheld complete annihilation – death everywhere, along with all the enemy army' riches. “No one had escaped,” 2 Chronicles reads, referring to the enemy's total destruction. Jehoshaphat and his men scavenged among the dead bodies for three days, acquiring the spoils of battle. They gathered with all the treasure in the Valley of Berachah on the fourth day to worship and give thanks to the Lord. Berachah is a Hebrew word that means “blessing.” Their dread had been transformed into delight, their sadness into pleasure, and their worries into blessings by God.

So, what will you do if you are confronted with problems today — problems that seem to come at you from all sides — what will you do? Concentrate your attention on Him. Who are you going to believe? “And we know that for those who love God and are called according to His purpose, all things work together for good.” 8:28 is a verse in the book of Romans.

Because He, the Living God, is inside you, your Heavenly Father's wisdom, resources, power, healing, restoration, provision, help, and consolation are with you and will remain with you. “There's no way I can help that individual,” never say. I'm unable of dealing with my own issues.” It's not about our power, wisdom, or solutions; it's about His. “As God's chosen people, who are holy (set apart, sanctified, for His purpose) and well-beloved (by God Himself), put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience (which has the strength to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness happens, with good temper).” (AMP) Colossians 3:12

He has been and will continue to be faithful in leading you through your valley. He will lead you to aid others who are desperately seeking assistance from you, and they will be helped as you direct their attention to Jesus Christ, regardless of the battle, the enemy, or the need. And, just as Judah took all the riches from those who fled to battle against them and destroy them, He pledges to refund all that the locusts or adversaries have stolen. You say it's impossible. Yes, with a male. Nothing is impossible with God.
