Prayer:
Father, thank you for sending Jesus to save me and deliver me from the power of sin and darkness. Thank you that I’ve been rescued from the domain of darkness and transferred into your kingdom (Colossians 1:13). You’ve given me authority over the enemy because your Spirit lives in me and He is greater than the enemy (Luke 10:19; 1 John 4:4). Lord, teach me to pray with the authority you’ve given me when the enemy attacks me and my family. Give me discernment to quickly recognize when the enemy is at work in my life and in my family. I need you to teach me to fight spiritual battles with your weapons. In Jesus’ name, amen.
“Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens. For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having the belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. In every situation take the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit – which is the word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.”
Ephesians 6:10-18
