NB-1: These prayers are intended as a start - may the Holy Spirit take over your warfare prayers.

NB-2: Never pray against people but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12).


Adapted Prayer from Job 41 (see scriptures used below)

You are a God who looks on everyone who is proud, and humbles him, You are the Lord who looks on everyone who is proud, and brings them low, You are the God who treads down the wicked in their places (Job 40:12)


In the Name of Jesus Christ (Job 41):

  • Let the power of God pull out Leviathan, that king of all pride with a hook

  • Let the power of God snare his tongue with a line

  • Let the power of God put a reed through his nose

  • Let the power of God pierce his jaw with a hook


  • Let the power of God leash that king of all pride and make a banquet of him

  • Let the power of God apportion him among the merchants


  • Leviathan is not able to stand against the power of Jesus Christ

  • Let the power of God remove Leviathan's outer coat - remove that skin of harpoons, and the fishing spears on his head


You are a God who looks on everyone who is proud, and humbles him, You are the Lord who looks on everyone who is proud, and brings them low, You are the God who treads down the wicked in their places (Job 40:12)

  • In the Name of Jesus Christ, break the strength that dwells in the neck of this king of pride

  • In the Name of Jesus Christ, rip apart the folds of the flesh of this king of pride

  • In the Name of Jesus Christ, break its heart that is as hard as stone

  • In the Name of Jesus Christ, when this king of pride raises himself up, crush him


In the Name of Jesus Christ, hide Leviathan in the dust, bind his face in hidden darkness (Job 40:13)


In the Name of Jesus Christ, break the heads of Leviathan in pieces, give him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness (Psalm 74:14)


Lord, with Your severe sword, great and strong, punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent, slay the reptile that is in the sea (Isaiah 27:1)



Let Your kingdom come according to Matthew 6:10. Let the Kingdom of God come upon us as in Matthew 12:28, so that we will drive out demons by the Spirit of God. You promised in Mark 16:17 that these signs would accompany those who believed, that in Your Name they would drive out demons. So we stand on that promise and exercise the power You gave us and the promise You made us to drive out demons. Lord Jesus, we take hold of Your command in Matthew 10:8, to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons!
