Fighting the Enemy with Warfare Prayer

by Marijo Phelps⁽¹⁹⁹⁾ Red Star

2Cor10:3-5 amplified

For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons (weapons of flesh and blood), but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, (in as much as we) refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the (true) knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One.

Remembering:

The BLOOD of CHRIST is THE weapon of our warfare most powerful in all eternity.

1John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.(NKJV)

2 Corinthians 12:9a

And He said to me, " My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. " (NKJV)

ACTION: Ask Him to give you a person to pray for.

Ask Him what strongholds to focus upon in that person (to tear down as the Word promises and allow that person to be set free).

Then pray the scripture out loud personalized with that person's name and strongholds.

EXAMPLE:

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds (I TEAR DOWN THE STRONGHOLD OF UNBELIEF IN SUZY), 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (IN SUZY), bringing every thought(IN SUZY'S MIND) into captivity to the obedience of Christ

PRAISE and THANK Jesus for what He is doing in that person's life (though we might not yet see it)

2 Thessalonians 3:13

But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. (NKJV)

Persevere in prayer and see the power of the Lord in lives of your loved ones. Praying scriptures is MOST powerful. Pray this over yourself too - HE is able and we need to ASK.

Yah, after 2 revisions and one addition - thanks for your help!

People seem to really be drawn to this one and I think there is a need. We need to learn more about "praying scripture" We already can see it is His will or it wouldn't be in His Book and we know His promises are gold -

I should do a follow up - good answers to prayer (personally) here - some I had prayed for quite some time and the strongholds tumbled with this scripture prayer! HE is more than ABLE!!! Marijo

Amen Marijo!! Praying scripture is so powerful in breaking strongholds!!! In times of heavy battle, I've even placed my hands over my head and pleaded the blood of Jesus over my thoughts and my mind.....and prayed 'anything that tries to exalt itself against the knowledge of God, I condemn it, In Jesus Name'.....it works everytime!! Blessings! Cindy
