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 (see scriptures used below prayer)

Satan, behold, you are fallen from heaven like lighting. Christ beheld you fall from heaven like lightning and He has given us authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy so that nothing will harm us. (Luke 10:18-19)


GOD THE FATHER, LORD JESUS CHRIST & GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT:

  • “Is not Your Word like as a fire? and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29)

    • Let Your Word that we speak below burn every tare the devil sowed in our lives (Matthew 13:25). Let Your Word that we speak below break as a hammer every power of the evil one.


  • Unleash Your burning anger, consume every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place like stubble.

  • Let Your fire go before us and consume every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place.

  • Send Your angels like winds, Your angels like flames of fire to consume every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place on every side.

  • Lord Jesus, You said You came to bring fire on this earth - let that fire burn in us so hot that no principality, no power, no ruler of the darkness of this world, and no spiritual wickedness in any high place can withstand it.


  • Your Word says You are like a fire that burns everything up. Your Word says that Your eyes are as a flame of fire. Burn up and consume every spiritual enemy rising against us.

  • As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, let every tare sown into our lives by any principality, any power, any ruler of the darkness of this world, and any spiritual wickedness in any high place be gathered up and burned in Your fire.

  • Let that fire bring us rest in our troubles.

  • Lord Jesus Christ, let the burning fire that will appear with You from heaven burn every devil operating against us, let it burn every curse sent against us. Let it burn every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place.


  • Your Word says that You proclaim liberty to the captives – Father let the fire appearing with Jesus Christ and His powerful angels liberate us from all captivity of our bodies, souls, spirits, minds and hearts.

  • We are calling on Your Name, Lord, we are calling on Your Name. Answer by fire because You are God. Answer for us by fire.

  • Let the fire that came down to burn Elijah’s sacrifice burn every bond and yoke of captivity on our bodies, souls and spirits. Let it burn every principality, every power, every ruler of the darkness of this world, every spiritual wickedness in any high place.

  • Let Your Holy Spirit fire that touched the apostles on Pentecost in Acts 2 touch us and baptize us with Holy Spirit fire. Let the Holy Spirit fire John the Baptist testified about baptize us now!

  • Let Your Spirits of fire that burn before Your throne burn on our behalf, burn inside of us, and burn every demon, every devil and every evil spirit that operates against us.


In the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.



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!
