Prayer To Foil Enemy Activities

Prayer To Foil Enemy Activities

Dear heavenly Father, we live in such evil days that I pray against all enemy activities that are bing done in secret, which are designed to harm  and to destroy others. Protect Your people we pray, bring the attacks of the enemy to nothing and foil all the plans and purposes that are harmful to others..

Lord we know that it is not Your will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance in Christ, and so we pray for the souls of those that are bound by the lies and deceit of the enemy and who are being manipulated by the deception of the evil one.

We ask that in Your grace and mercy those that have been blinded to the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ by the activities of the enemy would be brought into a knowledge of the saving gospel and come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour – we ask this for His praise and glory and in Jesus name,

Amen.

Prayer Of Forgiveness For Enemies

Heavenly Father, how I bless and thank You for the goodness, grace and forgiveness that You have extended to me. I pray that You would develop in me a genuine spirit of true forgiveness towards others, knowing what grace and mercy You have showered upon me through Christ. Lord I want to follow in the example of Jesus and be tender hearted and full of forgiveness towards others, knowing how much God in Christ has forgiven me.

Help me to speak the truth in love and to never to repay evil for evil but rather to show love, grace and mercy towards my enemies and to pray for those that are unkind and spiteful.  Endow me with a spirit of love for my enemies.. for I know that this is not something that I can do on my own – it is not something that I can do without Your sufficient grace and strength.

Thank You that in Christ I have all that I need for life and godliness and that in Him I have all that I need to forgive others as Christ forgave me  - and so Father forgive my enemies I pray, and bring them all to saving faith in Christ – in Whose name I pray

Amen

Prayer For My Enemies At Work

Lord, You know the great difficulties that I am facing at work and how my Christian faith and trust in Jesus has caused me to be unfairly discriminated against and abused.. and I seem to have amassed so many that are against me and everything that I hold dear..  and so I ask for Your protection, wisdom, grace in this very difficult work situation.

Change the hearts of those colleagues at work who see me as their enemy, and take away the blindness and resistance that they seem to have to the truth of the glorious gospel of grace. Bring each one into a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and help me to do good towards them despite their unkind words and actions.

I pray that Your peace would guard my heart and reign at work and that You would give me wisdom, especially in those difficult times when things really start to get unpleasant. And through it all I pray that You would be glorified and that Your perfect peace and joy would be my strength – this I ask in Jesus name.

Amen

Father I know that the real enemies that I face are spiritual principalities and powers and mighty spiritual wickedness in high places.. and I know that the people who rise up against me are simply the tools that are being used against me by these spiritual beings.. who seek to shipwreck my faith and cause me to lose heart and doubt Your Word, but in the mighty name of Jesus I pray that their strongholds may be smashed, and that I may be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, as I face every enemy onslaught.

Thank You for the spiritual armour that is mine in Christ and I pray that every moment of the day I may be covered in His great protection that You have provided for all who have trusted in Christ as Saviour.

Prayer To Pray For My Enemies

Loving Lord, I so desire to follow Your command to love my enemies, to pray for those that persecute me, to do good to those that hate me, to bless those that curse me and to pray for those that mistreat me and I ask that in Your strength and grace I would learn to live my life according to Your will.

I understand that the real enemy that I face is not the flesh and blood of men and women that I so often come up against in life, but the battle I face is against a spiritual enemy and forces of evil that are in the heavenly realms – and that Satan and his evil  forces are my true antagonists, who encompasses me about on every side and seek to shipwreck my faith.

Thank You for the spiritual armour that is mine in Christ and I praise You that in Him I have all that I need to stand fast in the evil day, knowing that the weapons of our warfare are not that that are used by the world, but are divinely powerful spiritual weapons, which are designed to destroy the fortresses of evil and to demolish of strongholds of Satan.

Father I pray that You would rescue those that are under the dominion of Satan and bring them out from the satanic, kingdom of darkness into the glorious kingdom of Your dear Son. I ask that You would make known to them the wonderful riches that are in Christ. I pray that each one may come to saving faith in Christ Jesus, so that they may be at peace with God and have the peace of Christ reigning in their hearts. 

Give me wisdom and discernment to know when to act, what to say, how to pray and when to remain silent. May all I do be according to Your will and I ask that in all things Your Holy Spirit would lead and guide, in Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Prayer Of Protection From False Teachings

Heavenly Father, there are so many false teachings and doctrines of demons that are flooding mainline churches today, and I pray that You would give me discernment and protection from all those, (whether knowingly or unknowingly) who are distorting the word of truth and the gospel of grace.

Give me wisdom and understanding as I read Your Word, so that I may be enabled to discern what is biblical truth and what is a distortion of that truth. Father, Your Word tells us that in the last days there will come times of great difficulty, where love will wear thin and people will be become proud and arrogant, abusive and unholy, having an outward appearance of godliness but denying the truth of the gospel. Protect me I pray, and all those I love from being influenced by such evil distortions, and keep us under Your promised protection, by Your grace.

Protect our hearts and minds from all those who distort the truth, and keep us all covered in the love of God, and protected by the blood of Christ, as we wait for His any day return. He alone is able to keep us from stumbling and to present us blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy. In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen

Thank You, that I have been forgiven of my sins and covered in Christ’s own righteousness, and thank You that I have been baptised into Christ and set free from slavery to sin and Satan, for which I praise and thank Your holy name.

But Lord, I also know that Satan is a roaring lion who prowls around seeking whom he may devour, and Lord, I know that he truly is the evil prince of darkness, who delights to disguise himself as an angel of light and seeks to deceive many people. Lord, I understand also that He seeks to destroy the faith of many and to deceive others into false teachings and doctrines of demons as he sows seeds of disruptive deceit and evil into the hearts and lives of many. But Father, I thank You that greater is He that is in me that he that is in the world. Thank You, that by the blood of Christ He is a defeated enemy. But Lord, I pray that You would protect me and those I love from His fiery darts and evil attacks. Enable me to resist Him and all His deceptive ploys, and may I walk in spirit and truth, covered by the blood of Jesus my Saviour and remain safe in Him, in Whose name I pray,

Amen.
