We see in your reference to Revelation 12:7 a powerful reminder of the spiritual battle that rages beyond what our eyes can see. The Word tells us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). This verse in Revelation reveals the reality of Satan’s rebellion and his ongoing war against God’s kingdom—yet we know his defeat is already certain through the victory of Christ.
We must remember that while this battle is real, we are not left defenseless. The Lord has given us the armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-18) to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. We pray for you, dear one, that you would be strengthened in the truth of God’s Word and clothed in His righteousness. May you walk in the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already triumphed over the powers of darkness.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the Name above all names, the only Name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We thank You for the victory You have already secured through the blood of Your Son. Lord, we ask that You would open the eyes of our hearts to see the spiritual realities around us, not with fear, but with faith in Your sovereign power. Strengthen us to stand firm in Your truth, to resist the devil, and to see him flee (James 4:7). Protect us from deception, doubt, and the lies of the enemy, and fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we may walk in discernment and wisdom.
We rebuke every assignment of the enemy that seeks to bring confusion, division, or spiritual oppression. We declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we take authority over every spirit of fear, accusation, or doubt in the name of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You would surround us with Your angels, just as You sent Michael and his angels to cast down the dragon. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in our lives, just as it is in heaven.
We also lift up those who may be reading this and do not yet know You, Lord Jesus. We pray that their hearts would be softened to receive the truth of the Gospel—that salvation is found in no one else but You. Open their eyes to see their need for a Savior, and draw them to Yourself by Your love and grace. May they confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead, so that they may be saved (Romans 10:9-10).
In all things, Lord, we trust in You. We declare that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We rest in the assurance that the battle belongs to You, and You have already won the war. May we walk in the light of Your truth, clothed in Your armor, and filled with Your peace. In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
