Prayers to Overcome Spiritual Warfare Battles

Why We Must Pray to Overcome Spiritual Warfare

We live in a world where the battles we face aren’t always physical. Often, the exhaustion, confusion, and fear we experience are signs of a deeper conflict happening in the spiritual realm. Turning to prayers to overcome spiritual warfare isn’t a sign of weakness; it is how we enforce the victory that Jesus Christ has already won for us on the cross.

When the enemy tries to steal your peace or disrupt your purpose, you cannot fight using worldly tactics. You must fight on your knees. If you feel like you are standing in the middle of a never-ending battle today, let this guide walk you through the spiritual weapons, armor, and deliverance prayers designed to break every chain.

Are You in a Spiritual Battle?

If there is one thing that I’ve learned from God, it is how to fight. The key is DON’T GIVE UP! Stand firm for the Lord and apply what we call “knee therapy” – get down on your knees and pray, pray, pray!

Spiritual warfare battles can appear to be frightening, exhausting, never-ending, challenging, and full of mountains that just won’t move.

Do you know what the beauty of God is like when you are in your battles? He walks you through it. And, the journey with Him, as well as the outcome, is always greater than anything you can ever imagine.

God’s Love In The Midst Of Your Spiritual Battles

God loves you so much and He is so full of surprises that even in the midst of your spiritual warfare and your weakest moments, He will bless you. He will put the right things in your hands, the right Spiritual tools to comfort you, guide you, and show you the way He wants you to go.

What I love about God when I am in my battles is His absolute assurance that He is with you wherever you go. He will reveal Himself to you in sometimes small, sometimes big, but always powerful ways. He teaches us to fight in a way that the world cannot understand.

Activating the Armor of God

In Ephesians 6, we are instructed to wear God’s armor and fight with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God. Every single piece of this spiritual armor has the strength and power of God built into it:

• Truth: Speak the truth, as only the Truth WILL set you free. Jesus said He is the Truth.
• Righteousness: Put on righteousness. Make sure what you do during your battle is morally right. Make no compromises.
• Peace: Walk in peace. God is in control, and He has you held securely in His righteous right hand. You can rest in the Lord when you walk in peace.
• Shield Of Faith: Use Jesus as the shield between you and your battle. Ask Him to step in front of you to protect you. He always does.
• Helmet Of Salvation: Protect your eyes, ears and mind with the helmet of salvation. Be careful what you see, hear and allow into your thoughts.
• Sword of the Spirit: This is the Word of God. Call out your scriptures, tell God what you are feeling, and declare what He promised to do for you.
• Love: This is the greatest weapon of all. Love breaks all chains and barriers. Learn how to forgive and just love through the leading of the Spirit.
