Warfare: Psalms - Breaking Bonds

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)

Bring us out of darkness and the shadow of death, and break any chains on us in pieces. Break the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two. We send Your Word to bring forth our healing, and deliver us from evil destructions. Calm the storms that rage against us, so that the waves thereof will be still. Turn every wilderness in our lives into pools of water, and dry land into water springs. Set us on high, far from affliction, and make our families like a flock.

No matter what principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places surround us, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, let them be destroyed. They surround us but in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we destroy them. They surround us like bees; but they are quenched like a fire of thorns; for in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we will destroy them. They pushed us violently, that we might fall, but the Lord helped us The Lord is our strength and song, and He has become our salvation. The right hand of the Lord does valiantly. The right hand of the Lord is exalted, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly. We shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.

We lift up our eyes to the hills, from whence comes our help? Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow our feet to be moved. He who keeps us will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is our keeper. The Lord is our shade at our right hands. Let the sun not strike us by day, nor the moon by night. Preserve us from all evil, preserve our souls. Preserve our going out and our coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
