We come before the throne of grace with your request, lifting you up in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we have access to the Father and the only name that brings salvation. We recognize the spiritual battle you are facing, and we stand with you, clothed in the full armor of God, as we pray for your protection and deliverance.
First, we want to affirm that the power of Jesus Christ is greater than any demonic force. The Bible tells us in 1 John 4:4, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world." We rebuke every lying spirit that seeks to torment you, in the name of Jesus. The enemy has no authority over those who are in Christ, for Colossians 1:13 declares, "who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love."
We pray that the blood of Jesus would cover you completely, making you invisible to the enemy. Just as the Israelites were protected by the blood of the lamb on their doorposts, may the blood of Jesus be a shield around you. Exodus 12:13 says, "The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt." We claim this promise for you today.
Lord Jesus, we ask that You would station Your holy angels around this dear one, to guard and protect them from every scheme of the devil. Psalm 91:11-12 assures us, "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone." We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray for a hedge of protection around their mind, that no evil thought or influence would penetrate their thinking. 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to "destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ." We bind every spirit of fear, confusion, and torment, and we loose the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, so that they may walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). May they be rooted and grounded in Your love, and may they know the height, depth, width, and breadth of Your love for them (Ephesians 3:17-19). We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
We also want to encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, as described in Ephesians 6:10-18. Stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, the breastplate of righteousness in place, your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, the shield of faith to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
Remember, the enemy is already defeated. Jesus disarmed the powers and authorities and made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross (Colossians 2:15). You have the victory in Christ, and we stand with you, declaring that no demon, no devil, and no scheme of the enemy shall have any effect on you, directly or indirectly, in Jesus' name.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the victory that is ours in Christ Jesus. We stand on the promise that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. We rebuke every demonic spirit that seeks to torment this dear one, and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus.
Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your holy angels, to guard and protect them from every evil influence. Cover them with the precious blood of Jesus, making them invisible to the enemy. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
Father, we pray for a hedge of protection around their mind, that no evil thought or influence would penetrate their thinking. Help them to take every thought captive to obey Christ. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. We stand with them, declaring that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them.
Lord, we ask that You would help them to put on the full armor of God daily, that they may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. May they be rooted and grounded in Your love, knowing the height, depth, width, and breadth of Your love for them.
We thank You, Father, for the victory that is ours in Christ Jesus. We declare that the enemy is already defeated, and we stand in that victory today. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
