As the children of God it’s crucial that we know who our enemies are; many times they masquerade as friends, coworkers, family members, or even a destructive stranger. According to the word of God our enemy is not the person or a physical being, but spirits and principalities. It is our responsibility to keep our flesh in check and go to God concerning people and things that come against us. If we attempt to fight flesh with flesh we will always lose, it is our responsibility to cast our cares upon God and watch Him transform the situation. Here is a prayer I pray when the devil keeps pestering me, and I’m tempted to deal with the flesh instead of the spirit. Peace
Authority of the Believer
Prayer to Claim Authority Over the Enemy
Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I command you (Luke
10:19, Mark 16:17) devil and all evil spirits in the sound of my voice to loose
me and leave my presence. By the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of my testimony
(Rev.12:11) I overcome you devil and evil spirits, in the Name of Jesus Christ
Who died on the cross for my sins and the sins of this world. I am a Blood
bought child of God (Col 1:14) and Satan, you are trespassing, you have no right
to come near me, my land, animals, or property, including the atmosphere about
- I plead the Blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth as a thick
hedge of protection against all evil spirits, as a wedge between us that you
cannot penetrate. I speak the Blood against you Satan, in Jesus Christ’s Holy
Name. It is written in God’s Word that no weapon formed against me can prosper,
I stand on the Word of God, He is my Shield and my Buckler (Psalms 35:2). He
says in Deuteronomy 33:27 that He thrusts out the enemy and says to me “destroy”
them! Lord Jesus Christ I ask You according to John 14:13-14, to “destroy the
enemy”. Satan, you are a defeated foe! You have been defeated and by the
authority and power given to me in Luke 10:18-20, I command you to leave (Mark
16:17), I loose you to the Abyss, the dry waste place, with all your minions in
the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Lord Jesus Christ I ask according to John
14:13-14 to destroy all the dark destruction that came with the enemy, cleanse
me in Your precious Blood, heal me, restore me, and seal me up in Your Glory. I
ask You to shut all demonic doors that need to be shut and seal them so the evil
spirits can never come through them again. Lord Jesus, I ask You to loose Your
angels over me and this place to protect me, the animals, and this land from the
enemy from coming back here. Amen
