Brothers and sisters in Christ, I ask of you this day that you pray for me, and indeed for all of us, with the full fury of the spirit of God. I am in the middle of a spiritual battle with evil forces that have penetrated the institutions of the world. I am under relentless attack by the enemy, satan and his demons. They have even made themselves known to me in dreams, threatening me and trying to intimidate me and ridicule me, a member of the body of Christ on Earth. I have spent the last night praying to our Creator, GOD, to grant me wisdom, strength and courage to persevere. I ask of you to join me in the spirit, so that we may show the enemy that we are not afraid and that all of his ambition is in vain for Jesus Christ has defeated death.

Here is a good prayer book for spiritual warfare and deliverance, it is free so you may download it:

Ephesians 6:10 - 6:18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.

Psalms 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lordis my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

the Lord will fight for you, you only need to be still (Exodus 14:14)

be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nation, I will be exalted in all the Earth (Psalms 46:10)

every one shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord (Romans 14:11)

no one can see God's face and live (Exodus 33:20)

in Revelation, Jesus will cast Satan into hellfire

demons are terrified of God (James 2:19)

vengeance belongs to God (Romans 12:19)

submit to God, resist the devil and Satan will flee from you (James 4:7)

since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witness, let us throw off every weight that slow us down and every sin that so easily entangles us, and let us not lose heart (Hebrews 12:1-2)


take heart, I have overcome the world (John 16:33)

Thank you for pointing this list out. I have rarely experienced a honest prayer go unanswered. We are all sinners and, once we accept Christ, God answers prayers despite our sinful nature - prayers need to be well thought through, honest/from the heart and in accordance with His Will. There is no reason to dwell too much on this lengthy list. I feel it my instill doubt in some, which may then be used by the enemy. The enemy is always trying to convict us, even though Christ has paid for all our sin. When praying, pray with the fury of absolute certainty in the promises of Christ.

Hi bro,
The intent was not to discourage or instill doubt, but rather to help us all see areas where we may be weak or sinning. It is so impt that we realize where we may be offending or making our Lord sad and angry, but for those in Christ, there is no more condemnation.

As we have to do spiritual battle daily, it is just well we know where we are, and how the enemy may also target us if we do not make effort to change or remove our areas of weakness.

Yes, Lord, bless and protect each of Your child that prays. Remind us the battle truly belongs to You, and we can march in victory! Amen.
