•Spiritual Warfare Prayer:Wisdom and Deliverance•By Anthony Valente👉 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."(Ephesians 6:11-12)We are in a spiritual warfare whether we know it or not. And if we don't know or want to acknowledge the reality of spiritual warfare, there is a strong chance we are losing!Everyone is in a spiritual battle of some sort on a daily basis. In warfare, battles are fought on different fronts, for different reasons, and with varying intensity. The same is true in spiritual warfare. Our spiritual battles and warfare are real, even though we cannot physically see the attacker. There are forces, both angelic and demonic, that are actively working around us. There is evil that we fight in our spiritual warfare. Jesus told us to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven. The enemy will attack from all angles, hoping to dissuade the person from fully giving their heart to Jesus. He will use circumstances, events, people, things, and even doubt in their minds to steal their hearts back to his ways. These battles are fought in the world but involve the spiritual forces of darkness in the invisible realm around us. Let us pray.🙏 Jesus, sometimes I can almost sense the heaviness of pressure mounting and the ominous presence of darkness around me. I recognize my enemy is at work again. Whether he's trying to discourage me to get sidetracked, to fall into temptation, to give up, or to take my eyes off You, he's always hanging around. I need Your supernatural power, Lord, to stand strong and not surrender. Physical force won't help, because You’ve said the weapons of our warfare are different from those in this world. As believers, ours are powerful and can demolish strongholds and lies. These supernatural weapons originate from You. By Your precious name and blood, Jesus, I'm asking You to confuse satan and cancel his attempts to shut me and my influence down. Help me not to become discouraged or to give in when heavy times of testing come. When I'm tired and weak, You are strong, Lord, and You are my only source of help. I cannot fight without You. Teach me how to pray and to trust You to pull down those strongholds that keep me or others helpless. Guard me against isolation that leaves me exposed and vulnerable. I believe You destroyed the power of my enemy by Your death and resurrection. But like a bad penny, my enemy keeps showing up, whispering lies, twisting truth, and attempting to inflate my selfish pride. He never gives up. I am declaring the devil and his demons liars today, Lord. Through the power of Your precious name and blood, I agree with Your Word and the truth that You are in me and that You are greater than my enemy who wants to rule the world. You, Your Word, and prayer, Lord, are my secret weapons. I belong to You, and that fills me with a powerful God-confidence. I want to constantly dress in the spiritual armor You give me. Help me use it to defend others from satan’s fiery darts as well. No one and nothing can snatch me away from Your hand. Strengthen my faith, Lord. Forgive my sins, so that I may be clean in Your righteousness. Make me brave, so I can stand and fight the spiritual battles in my life and in our world. Give me Your wisdom and discernment so I won't be caught off guard. Together, Lord, we'll win, because in truth, You already have. In Jesus's powerful name before which every knee shall bow,AMEN 🙏 "But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one."(2 Thessalonians 3:3)"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings."(1 Peter 5:8-9)"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."(James 4:7)"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 8:37-38)"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."(John 10:10)"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."(Colossians 1:13-14)"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."(1 Corinthians 10:13)Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.(Luke 10:19)“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”(Matthew 18:18-20)If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.(1 John 1:9)And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(Acts 2:38)Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.(Acts 3:19)Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.(Ephesians 6:14-17)I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.(Galatians 2:20)(pic verse)For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.(2 Corinthians 10:3-6)Artist 👨‍🎨 I Am With You Always - David Delfeld
