PRAYER FOR LEADERS
Lord, we pray that leaders who govern unjustly will make many mistakes in decisions,
especially involving world evangelism (Psalm 109:29);
leaders who despise You will fall from power through improper advice (Psalm 5:10, 19:14);
leaders who are truly searching for understanding will find knowledge and wisdom
in Your word (Proverbs 28:2).
Let the leaders who live in darkness receive a personal message of Your love (Psalm 52:15);
leaders who live in war-torn nations will grow weary of continual bloodshed (I Kings 5:3-4);
leaders who lead corrupt governments will recognize their evil ways
and turn to You (II Chron 33:12-13);
leaders who boast of power will realize that their earthly kingdom
was given to them by You (Daniel 2:19-22).

WARFARE PRAYER: Loosing Division and Discord Into the Camps of the Enemy

NOTE: This prayer has been recorded TWICE, once for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating.
This prayer was originally scripted by Pastor Win Worley. Further information about Pastor Worley, his books, booklets, and his video and audio recordings — a great many of which are currently available for free — is provided below.
The impetus for the writing of this prayer comes from Psalm 78:49, Isaiah 4:4, and Psalm 35, amongst many other supporting scriptures which describe both the authority and warfare tactics of the Lord of Hosts to include:
1. commanding even the evil spirits to execute His will;
2. turning the weapons of His enemies against themselves and each other.
The method of the prayer is in one part acknowledging and declaring the Biblical legalities of any situation where the renegade forces of darkness have sought to interfere with God’s decrees, promises, and provisions as SPECIFIED in the scriptures.
The second application of the prayer is both to ask Almighty God to judge and to act, and to identify, rebuke, and speak commands against the agents of the devil, that they desist and depart, and that they be given over to confusion and internal discord.
The scriptures referenced directly in this prayer include the following:
1 John 4:18 2 Timothy 1:7 Micah 3:8 John 8:32 Job 20:3 Exodus 28:3
Eph 1:17 John 14:17 1 John 4:6 Psalm 77:6 Psalm 51:12 Genesis 24

Prayer For Adopted Children
Heavenly Father, I declare that as the head of my family,
I have spiritual authority over each member in it
and I am responsible for them.
You have promised that my house is marked for salvation
according to Acts 16:31.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
I praise my heavenly Father
that He has entrusted to me my adopted child (give name).
I accept all responsibility that God places on me
as parent and priest of God in (name)'s life.
As a priest of God, in my child’s life,
purchased by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ,
I here and now renounce and repudiate
all the sins of (name)’s blood ancestors (Lev 16).
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
I cancel out all demonic working
that would be passed on to (name)
through (name)'s blood line.
I declare to Satan and all of his forces
that I now cover (name)
with the protection of the blood of the Lord Jesus
through the work of the Holy Spirit.
As one who has authority over all powers of darkness
through my union with the Lord Jesus Christ,
and as one who is seated with Him in heavenly places,
I renounce any and every way
in which Satan may claim ownership of (name).
I pull down all blindness
which Satan would put on (name)'s eyes
to keep (name) from understanding spiritual truth
and growing to love and serve our Lord and Savior.
As the legal parent in the eyes of God
and as a priest of God in (name)'s life,
I cancel and take back all the ground
given to Satan by (name)'s ancestors.
I claim that ground through the victory over Satan
achieved by the Lord Jesus Christ in His redemptive work
and cover all ground with His precious blood
that Satan may have no claim against (name).
All of this I do in the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ
and will accept in my child's life only that which comes
by way of the cross and through God's grace.

This episode is THE SECOND OF A TWO-PART SERIES. BEFORE YOU LISTEN, please be certain that you have already listened to the first installment — otherwise, this episode will not likely make much sense.
This installment features the second half of the eighth chapter of WAR ON THE SAINTS.
The 2nd half of Chapter 8 addresses the following issues:
[1] Challenges faced by the believer, as he or she battles to ascertain truth and thereby disentangle himself from demonic bondage.
[2] A review of the many circuitous vectors of demonic deception.
[3] Meeting force with force; overcoming the dangerous and destructive roots of passivity.
[4] Scripture is the primary weapon against demonic oppression. It is the use of scripture, during the fight against sinful tendencies, which provides definitive answers as to the presence and activity of oppressing spirits.
[5] Summaries of what has thus far been discovered and discussed, concerning the order of Attitude and Action: the steps to deliverance; hindrances to deliverance; and overcoming passivity.
[6] An overview of both godly and evil attitudes towards the past, present, and future, as well as towards evil spirits themselves.
[7] The importance of having a clearly defined understanding of a “normal condition” to which the battling believer is striving to return.
[8] A description of the blessed condition of the believer who has been freed from demonic oppression.
WAR ON THE SAINTS is an eminent classic work on spiritual warfare and deliverance. WAR ON THE SAINTS was first published more than 100 years ago, yet it is as absolutely relevant and on-target now as then — and perhaps even more so, because we see now the ceaseless growth of deception in ways and at levels heretofore unrivaled in human history.
Authors Jessie Penn-Lewis and Evan Roberts identify the very heart of the plots and procedures employed by the enemy to ensnare and mis-direct the disciples of Jesus Christ. There are no holds barred, and no compromise found, in this presentation of the wiles of evil: spiritual warfare is WAR, meaning that the fight is long, the battles bloody, the work difficult, and the need for the power of God desperate. There can be — and is — only ONE victor in this fight: the Lord Jesus Christ.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: The author of WAR ON THE SAINTS uses “possession” to describe the action of evil spirits, or demons, upon and against a Christian. This term is, in current times, usually replaced with “oppression” (or “harassment”, or similar words), to indicate that evil spirits are NOT in FULL POSSESSION of a real Christian but still manifest formidable powers and effects against and upon individual Christians. The authors were in agreement with this contemporary perspective, but they made use of the terminology of the period in which the book was written.

The authors were in agreement with this contemporary perspective, but they made use of the terminology of the period in which the book was written.
The eighth chapter of WAR ON THE SAINTS addresses the following issues:
[1] When an evil spirit hides himself very subtly in the mind, or body, then deliverance will not be obtained by "casting out" only, but by the truth being given to the mind, and the will of the person actively refusing and disowning the ground.
[2] The first step to freedom is the knowledge of the truth, as to the source and nature of lies which have been accepted by the believer, giving grounds for the enemy to enter.
[3] A Christian must understand and acknowledge not only the thorough corruption of the human condition, but the reality that he or she not only can be, but is, deceived by the enemy, before any fundamental deliverance from evil spirits can be hoped for.
[4] The Scriptural ground for obtaining deliverance is the truth concerning Christ's full victory at Calvary.
[5] As the deceptions of Satan are recognized, and the will of the person is set to reject them, the believer can, on the basis of the work of Christ at Calvary as set forth in Rom. 6: 6-13; Col. 2: 15; 1 John 3: 8, and other passages, claim their deliverance from the workings of the devil.

WARFARE PRAYER: The Spirit of Jealousy, PART 2

For a full list of prayers available through this podcast and our website, please follow this link:
https://psalm71.podbean.com/e/full-list-of-available-prayers-1513057365/
NOTE: This prayer has been recorded ONCE, for REPEATING.
The podcast episode preceding this one contains information
vital to an understanding of Jealousy, and also features the LISTENING
version of the prayer.
It is strongly recommended that you listen to that episode first. We do not
recommend praying the prayer against Jealousy, without first listening to
the preceding episode.
This prayer covers:
Before the Lord, acknowledging and confessing
that evil covenants have been made.
Petitioning the Father for sovereign judgment against
these covenants, for annulling and dissolving any power
or jurisdiction they may have facilitated.
Affirming the superior covenant between Jesus Christ
and the members of His Body.
Petitioning for removal of all effectual protection that
former evil covenants had facilitated for agents of the
kingdom of darkness.
Binding and isolating every evil agent that has now been
disempowered and exposed.
Affirming the covenant rights of blessing and liberty, for
those who stand in covenant with Jesus Christ.
Petitioning for the identification of all persons responsible
for evil speaking, false reports, and curses which were
intended to interfere with the blessings and liberty of the
members of the Body of Jesus Christ.
Petitioning for the dissolution of all unjust and indefensible
agreements between persons and agents of the
kingdom of darkness, particularly agreements which
opened doors to the spirit of Jealousy.
Asking for removal of all false and lying accusations, and
for curses to be changed into blessings.
Honor, thanksgiving, and praise to the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
Praise to the name of Jesus the Victorious King.

NOTE: The REPEATING version of this prayer has been recorded and published separately.
This episode has two parts:
1. A brief examination of the devious operations of the spirit of Jealousy, which works in partnership with other demons to hide itself and to conceal and complicate the legal grounds it claims as the basis for oppressing a person.
2. A reading of the deliverance prayer for expelling the spirit of Jealousy, along with its demonic partners.
We recommend this reading and prayer to all believers seeking deliverance, particularly due to the insidious character of Jealousy.
However, one of the most critical lessons to be learned here is that spiritual warfare, and of course deliverance from demonic oppression, is an ongoing fight and a lifelong commitment.
Warfare against the schemes of the spirit of Jealousy is almost never a clear-cut situation, hardly ever a one-time engagement, and certainly a struggle that will take an indefinite amount of time until decisive victory is manifested in the life of the disciple of Jesus Christ. There is no quick or simple strategy, and no single prayer session, that will result in a firm and enduring expulsion of the spirit of Jealousy and its evil co-conspirators, without any further concern. The power of the Holy Spirit, and persistent warfare in the Word of God, are needed for certain victory against this evil spirit.

NOTE: This prayer has been recorded TWICE, first for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating.
The purpose of this prayer is to address the very real issue of witchcraft and curses that use personal items and objects as the focus point and conduit for evil working.
Certain of the other prayers we have posted have briefly addressed this threat, within their greater respective prayer framework (see the links below); however, this prayer is mainly directed against this particular matter, and it is recommended to all believers to make use of this prayer language on a regular basis.
This prayer covers:
Thanks and praise for the perfect work of Jesus
Thanksgiving for Jesus’ Cross and Blood
Repentance and forgiveness
Submitting all of self and property to the Lord
Asking for the severing and destroying of all links
to any type of item which may be used as a conduit
for evil works
Asking for the shields of faith and favor
Breaking all power of curses and witchcraft
Prayer for the salvation of human tools of the enemy
Requesting righteous judgment against the reprobate
Receiving sanctification by faith in the power of God
Thanks and praise

“Father, I ask that you would remove our blood, DNA, images, and information from every object, location, and device in the hands of the enemy, and that you would cover our blood, DNA, images, and information with the blood and the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, to make us invisible to all tracking, surveillance, monitoring, and interference from the kingdom of darkness”.

WARFARE PRAYER: Mirrors

For a full list of prayers available through this podcast and our website, please follow this link:
https://psalm71.podbean.com/e/full-list-of-available-prayers-1513057365/
NOTE: This prayer has been recorded TWICE, first for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating.
The purpose of this prayer is to address the very real issue of the use of mirrors as the focus point and conduit for astral projection and the assignment of evil entities.
It is an established certainty that mirrors are used by human agents of the kingdom of darkness for several types of witchcraft. To confront this fact is not to promote fear of mirrors, but to recognize that it is not a matter to be dismissed as superstition or rumor; and therefore this issue should be dealt with preemptively by cleansing, consecrating, and blessing every mirror in your home. While the home in general needs to be cleansed and consecrated, it is never a waste of time to cover and bless SPECIFIC TYPES OF OBJECTS that are well-known to be tools used by witches and sorcerers.
We will not provide here any specifics concerning the means and methods of mirror magic(k), as such information is easily discoverable to anyone who decides to educate themselves against this particular type of witchcraft — however, it ought to be stated that there been a dramatic upsurge in reports of “night visitations” from entities both human and demonic, and this is in proportion to the number of people worldwide who are increasingly embracing the dark arts of astral projection, remote viewing, and sexual sorcery. In typical fashion, the “entertainment” industry has been promoting the morbid enticements of “demon lovers; and in many parts of the world it is taken as common knowledge that human agents are able to make use of mirrors for remote viewing and travel, for the purposes of planning further witchcraft attacks and dispatching evil spirits into specific locations.
This prayer covers:
Consecrating the mirror to the Lord’s service
Formal dedication of the mirror to the Lord Jesus Christ
Commanding out any evil infestations
Declaring the power of the Blood and Cross of Jesus
Sealing the mirror against the intentions of the enemy
Asking for the shields of faith and favor over the mirror
Thanks and praise to our God

PRAYER FOR THE GIRDLE OF TRUTH TO DESTROY THE LIES OF THE ENEMY

NOTE: This prayer has been recorded TWICE, first for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating.
In her classic primer on spiritual warfare, WAR ON THE SAINTS, Jessie Penn-Lewis wrote much concerning truth and deception:
‘“Deception" has to do with the mind, and it means a wrong thought admitted to the mind, under the deception that it is truth. Since "deception" is based on ignorance, and not on the moral character; a Christian who is "true" and "faithful" up to the knowledge he has, must be open to deception in the sphere where he is ignorant of the "devices" of the devil (2 Cor. 2: 11), and what he is able to do. A "true" and "faithful" Christian is liable to be "deceived" by the devil because of his ignorance....
‘The knowledge that it is possible to be deceived, keeps the mind open to truth, and light from God; and is one of the primary conditions for the keeping power of God; whereas a closed mind to light and truth, is a certain guarantee of deception by Satan at his earliest opportunity....
‘For the knowledge of truth is the first essential for warfare with the lying spirits of Satan, and truth must be eagerly sought for, and faced with earnest and sincere desire to know it, and obey it in the light of God; truth concerning ourselves, discerned by unbiased discrimination; truth from the Scriptures, uncolored, unstrained, unmutilated, undiluted....
‘The shock is great when the believer first apprehends the truth of deception and possession as possible in himself, but as the ultimate issue is realized, the joy of the one who sets himself to understand, and fight through to full deliverance, is more than words can tell. Light pours in upon the unsolved problems of years; both in the personal experience, and in the perplexities of environment; as well as on conditions in the Church and in the world.
‘As he seeks for light from God, the subtle inroads of the deceiving spirits into his life, slowly become clear to the open minded believer; and their many devices to deceive him stand revealed, as the searchlight of truth goes far back into the past, revealing the cause of unaccountable difficulties in experience and life’.
This prayer covers:
Repentance for sins known and unknown
Asking for the cleansing Blood, and Living Water
Submitting to the will of the Father
Asking for the Holy Spirit to be given to anoint and guide
Asking for all received deceptions to be revealed
Asking for the Holy Spirit gift of Discernment
Embracing the Truth, the Word of God, Jesus Christ
Desiring the Word of God as the heart’s true treasure
Praying for warning conviction from the Holy Spirit, so
that I would not deceive other people
Honor, thanks, and praise to our God
