5 Spiritual Warfare Prayer Points And Prayers

A war can be described as a struggle for anything essential by using the strongest abilities that entities involved in war possess. Things fought for in war may include power, territory, riches, a powerful symbol or strength.

From the moment you were born you have been involved in a war whether you know it or not. When you die the war initially ends but after judgment it will be clear who was victorious in that war. 

Spiritual warfare is a battle between God, the devil, and the world for your soul. However, you can choose who wins this war by what takes precedence over what in your life. Are you more concerned with personal gain and riches in the physical world rather than making disciples out of all nations God has created?

Do you believe that the reason you were created was to become the richest person alive? The battle for your soul is a daily one. Are you sometimes confused in your mind which makes you question the words of God himself? Do you find yourself doubting the things in the bible because they do not agree with your reasoning? If you do, this is normal.

It is all part of the battle you are involved in. There are certain times that the things in this world can sway you one way or the other sometimes toward God and other times away from God. Don’t forget that the devil never sleeps but he keeps on finding different ways to win your soul (1 Peter 5:8).

Whatever is taking precedence in your life is where your heart is. When you die, your soul will go to whoever has it at the time. God will only collect souls that belong to Him. He will not recognize those who do not know Him. As you walk through life, guard your heart carefully and make sure you are not stolen by the devil through the beautiful and attractive things in this world.

Put God first in your life and get to know Him more and more. Stay close to Him always as a young sheep stays with its shepherd for fear of being stolen or devoured by a wolf. Below we’ll discuss 5 spiritual warfare prayer points that can be your guide when praying with sample prayers to help you in the ongoing battle for your eternal soul.

5 spiritual warfare prayer points

1. Pray to be steadfast in the Lord

One thing you always have to remember is that so long as you keep trusting in the Lord, he will not fail you. God is a faithful God and he says in Jeremiah 29:11, that he know the plans he has for you and they are plans to make you prosper.

The things we face in this world can make our faith waver. But no matter what happens, you have to hold on to your faith in God and trust him. And honestly, it can be difficult to do that during difficult times, although it is even more important to hold on to God in such times.

So you have to pray to God, to strengthen your faith in him. Pray to God to teach you how to hold on to him when times are hard. Pray to God to teach you how to be patient and trust in his timing.

2. Pray to quench worldly desires

The downfall of a man is usually a result of worldly desires. When we let the desires of the world consume our minds and our thoughts, we go after those things and that is what slowly pulls us away from the Lord into the world.

So pray to God to quench any worldly desires you may have. Pray for self-control. Pray for the will to be able to overcome temptations (Matthew 26:41).

3. Pray against worldly values

The world we live in now can be very confusing. We live in a world where people see nothing wrong with wrongdoings. We live in a world where people see doing the right thing as being stupid. And if you are not careful you will find yourself conforming to these things just for the reason that everybody is doing it.

So pray to God to give you the strength to always do what is right in his sight. Pray to him to give you the spirit of discernment to help you differentiate between right and wrong. So that when everyone is doing the wrong thing, you won’t do it too. Pray against the pressures of this world and negative influences.

4. Pray for the Holy Spirit

In John chapter 14, Jesus Christ talks about the Holy Spirit. He says that the Holy Spirit will be with us forever and help us. So pray to God to send down His Holy Spirit to live in you. The Holy Spirit is our guide, our strength and our comforter.

If you allow the Holy Spirit to live in you and direct you, then your life will go according to God’s plan. So instead of trying to do things by yourself, don’t! Instead lean on the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance.

5. Pray for protection

Pray to God for protection. Pray for protection for everything. Yourself, your family, your home, your friends and your country and the world as a whole.

Life can be difficult and scary but with God as your protector, there’s nothing that can harm you. The Bible says in Psalm 91 that “a thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you”.

If you go to the Lord for protection, evil can’t come close to you, not to talk of harming you. So seek refuge in the Lord and pray for protection.
