Meditation
Prayer and warfare must be solidly based upon
faith in God and a relationship with the God
whose Word we declare.
“Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God and receive
from him anything we ask, because we obey
his commands and do what pleases him”
(1 John 3:21-22).
The following verses will help spiritual warriors
come to a place of faith and readiness
so that our prayers can be truly powerful and effective.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

And holy is His name.
And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.

In remembrance of His mercy,
As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”

In Jesus’ name, amen.
The Enemy is defeated
Spiritual warriors need to remind
themselves and the enemy that
his defeat is an irreversible fact.
This is best done by wielding
the proclamations of God’s Word against our adversary,
whose ruin was sealed at the cross.
Satan is a defeated foe, with a crushed head.
There is no power in him,
nor are there any means available to him
to reach and unseat the Victor of Calvary
now seated at the right hand of the Father.
It is not for us to fight for victory.
Our fight is from victory;
and from this vantage point,
empowered with Christ’s might,
and completely enclosed in the whole armor of God,
the powers of evil are compelled
to back off as we resist them.1 Scripture encourages us to look beyond the difficult or seemingly impossible state of affairs that Satan uses to try to weaken our faith. We must fix our spiritual eyes on Jesus
“the author and perfecter of our faith”
(Hebrews 12:2)
who secures the victory.
By believing the promises of God
instead of the lies of the enemy,
we cooperate with God’s plan for triumph
and confound the enemy’s plan.

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that you may know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of
His inheritance in the saints,
and what is the exceeding greatness of
His power toward us who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power
which He worked in Christ
when He raised Him from the dead
and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
far above all principality
and power and might and dominion,
and every name that is named,
not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
And He put all things under His feet,
and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
Ephesians 1:18-22
But if you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for anything you want,
and it will be granted!
When you produce much fruit,
you are my true disciples.
This brings great glory to my Father.
John 15:7,8
For Christ must reign until he
humbles all his enemies beneath his feet.
And the last enemy to be destroyed is death.
1 Cor 15:25,26
And Abraham’s faith did not weaken,
even though, at about 100 years of age,
he figured his body was as good as dead
and so was Sarah’s womb.
Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise.
In fact, his faith grew stronger,
and in this he brought glory to God.
He was fully convinced that
God is able to do whatever he promises.
Roman 4:19-21
we pray that the light of God
will illuminate the eyes of our imagination,
flooding us with light,
until we experience
the full revelation of the hope of his calling
that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances
that he finds in us, his holy ones!
we pray that we will continually experience
the immeasurable greatness of
God’s power made available to us through faith.
Then our lives will be an advertisement
of this immense power as it works through us!
This is the mighty power that was released when
God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him
to the place of highest honor and supreme authority
in the heavenly realm!
And now he is exalted as first
above every ruler, authority, government,
and realm of power in existence!
He is gloriously enthroned over
every name that is ever praised,
not only in this age,
but in the age that is coming!
And he alone is the leader
and source of everything needed in the church.
God has put everything beneath
the authority of Jesus Christ
and has given him the highest rank
above all others.
Ephesians 1:18-22 (Passion Translation)
Thank You, Lord,
that as we pray and do battle according to Your will,
we know triumph is assured.
Give us strength to stand in faith,
knowing Your power is greater than
all the power of the evil one.
we lift up a shout of praise to
declare that the victory is won
in Jesus’ name,
amen.
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?

Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God, yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand

Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,

with fasting, weeping, and wailing;
and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

I have been still and restrained Myself.

I will pant and gasp at once.

“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping,
and with mourning.”

who, in the days of His flesh,
when He had offered up prayers and supplications,
with vehement cries and tears
to Him who was able to save
Him from death, and was heard
because of His godly fear,
Hebrews 5:7
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
James 4:8-10
Lord, You see our tears as we identify with the hurting, lost ones for whom we intercede. Give us a heart of compassion, and help us to pray with discernment and wisdom for the ones You put on our heart.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

The wicked plots against the just,
And gnashes at him with his teeth.

Again I will say, rejoice!
Philippines 4:4

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.
He has helped His servant Israel,
In remembrance of His mercy,
As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”

For you shall be filled.

For you shall laugh.

as You bring deliverance and victory through Your mighty hand.
Thank You for the times when we can shout for joy and take spoils from the enemy.
We praise You for Your mighty works!
In Jesus’ name, amen.
The Enemy is defeated
Spiritual warriors need to remind
themselves and the enemy that
his defeat is an irreversible fact.
This is best done by wielding
the proclamations of God’s Word against our adversary,
whose ruin was sealed at the cross.
Satan is a defeated foe, with a crushed head.
There is no power in him,
nor are there any means available to him
to reach and unseat the Victor of Calvary
now seated at the right hand of the Father.
It is not for us to fight for victory.
Our fight is from victory;
and from this vantage point,
empowered with Christ’s might,
and completely enclosed in the whole armor of God,
the powers of evil are compelled
to back off as we resist them.1 Scripture encourages us to look beyond the difficult or seemingly impossible state of affairs that Satan uses to try to weaken our faith. We must fix our spiritual eyes on Jesus
“the author and perfecter of our faith”
(Hebrews 12:2)
who secures the victory.
By believing the promises of God
instead of the lies of the enemy,
we cooperate with God’s plan for triumph
and confound the enemy’s plan.
for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’
Deuteronomy 20:4
The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

Healing
O Lord my God, I cried out to You,
And You healed me.
O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Psalm 30:2-3
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalm 103:2-5
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destruction's
Psalm 107:19,20
My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 4:20-22
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For You are my praise.
Jer 17:14
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
Matthew 4:23
For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
Matthew 9:21,22
And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
Matthew 9:28-30
Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 15:30,31
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Mark 16:17,18
But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
Luke 9:11
And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's Porch. Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
Acts 5:12-16
And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.
Acts 14:8-10
Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
Acts 19:11,12
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
James 5:14-16
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness
by whose stripes you were healed.
1Peter 2:24
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper
in all things and be in health,
just as your soul prospers.
3 John 1:2
In the name of Jesus Christ, by the authority of His shed blood, we come against every plot of Satan against our body. We thank You, Lord, that Your Word energizes and gives life and that You are giving that life to us as we pray. Father, bring healing and wholeness to the tissue, joints, marrow and fiber, to the blood system and to the other systems of the body affected
by this illness. May the medications we are taking have a beneficial effect, and all negative side effects be cancelled in Jesus’ name. Lord, cause our bodies to function as You created it to function.
We declare that the enemy’s plan of destruction is null and void because Christ defeated him at the cross.
We cover ourselves with the blood of Jesus and ask You to strengthen us with might in the inner man.
We call upon the life that is in Jesus Christ
to cause the enemy to flee.
We thank You for victory, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Deliverance
(the mind set to break,
Satan sows the tares in the wheat
bad thoughts among good thoughts.)
He who sins is of the devil,
for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Whoever has been born of God does not sin,
for His seed remains in him;
and he cannot sin,
because he has been born of God.
1 John 3:8,9
Behold, I give you the authority to
trample on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy,
and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this,
that the spirits are subject to you,
but rather rejoice because your names
are written in heaven.”
Luke 10:19,20
(a key here is to find the door
that's been left open
and close it in the enemies face
some open door could be:
not following Gods word, unforgiveness,
greed, occult, substance abuse,
rebelling against spiritual authority,
spiritual pride)
What good does it do for you to say I am your Lord and Master if what I teach you is not put into practice? Let me describe the one who truly follows me and does what I say. He is like a man who chooses the right place to build a house and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it continues to stand strong and unshaken through the tempest, for it has been wisely built on the right foundation. But the one who has heard my teaching and does not obey it is like a man who builds a house without laying any foundation whatsoever. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it will immediately collapse and become a total loss. Which of these two builders will you be?”
Luke 6:46-49 (Passion)
But Peter said, “Ananias,
why has Satan filled your heart to lie
to the Holy Spirit and keep back
part of the price of the land for yourself?
Acts 5:3
If you freely forgive anyone for anything, then I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I did so for you before the face of Christ, so that we would not be exploited by the adversary, Satan, for we know his clever schemes.
1 Corinthians 2:10-11 (Passion)
But don’t let the passion of your emotions lead you to sin!
Don’t let anger control you
or be fuel for revenge, not for even a day.
Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the Devil,
an opportunity to manipulate you!
If any one of you has stolen from someone else,
never do it again.
Instead, be industrious, earning an honest living,
and then you’ll have enough to bless those in need.
And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth,
but instead let your words become beautiful gifts
that encourage others;
do this by speaking words of grace to help them.
The Holy Spirit of God has sealed you
in Jesus Christ until you experience your full salvation.
So never grieve the Spirit of God
or take for granted his holy influence in your life.
Lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums,
revenge, profanity, and insults.
But instead be kind
and affectionate toward one another.
Has God graciously forgiven you?
Then graciously forgive one another
in the depths of Christ’s love.
Ephesians 4:26-32 (passion)
Be well balanced and always alert,
because your enemy,
the devil, roams around incessantly,
like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour.
Take a decisive stand against him
and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith.
For you know that your believing
brothers and sisters around the world
are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.
And then, after your brief suffering,
the God of all loving grace,
who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ,
will personally and powerfully restore you
and make you stronger than ever.
Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up.
And he has all the power needed to do this
forever! Amen.
1 Peter 5:8-10
But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God,
surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Or how can one enter a strong man's house
and plunder his goods,
unless he first binds the strong man?
And then he will plunder his house.
Matthew 12:28,29
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 16:19
“Without God, we cannot. Without us, God will not.”
(Gods Request)
He saw that there was no man,
And wondered that there was no intercessor;
Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;
And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
Isaiah 59:16
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.
Ezekiel 22:30
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10
My delightfully loved friends,
when our hearts don’t condemn us,
we have a bold freedom to speak face-to-face with God.
And whatever we ask of him we receive,
because we keep his commands.
And by our beautiful intentions
we continue to do what brings pleasure to him.
1 John 3:21,22 (passion)
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
2 Corinthians 4:4
in humility correcting those who are in opposition,
if God perhaps will grant them repentance,
so that they may know the truth,
and that they may come to their senses
and escape the snare of the devil,
having been taken captive by him to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:25,26
and the cares of this world,
the deceitfulness of riches,
and the desires for other things entering in
choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Mark 4:19
Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest
to send out laborers into His harvest.”
Matthew 9:38
Most of all, I’m writing to encourage you
to pray with gratitude to God.
Pray for all men with all forms of prayers
and requests as you intercede with intense passion.
And pray for every political leader and representative,
so that we would be able to live tranquil,
undisturbed lives, as we worship the
awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.
It is pleasing to our Savior-God to pray for them.
He longs for everyone to embrace his life
and return to the full knowledge of the truth
1 Timothy 2:1-4 (passion)
Call to Me, and I will answer you,
and show you great and mighty things,
which you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:3
...always laboring fervently for you in prayers,
that you may stand perfect
and complete in all the will of God
Colossians 4:12
And I will ask the Father
and he will give you another Savior,
the Holy Spirit of Truth,
who will be to you a friend just like me
and he will never leave you.
The world won’t receive him because
they can’t see him or know him.
But you will know him intimately,
because he will make his home in you
and will live inside you.
John 14:16,17
And in a similar way,
the Holy Spirit takes hold of us
in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness.
For example,
at times we don’t even know how to pray,
or know the best things to ask for.
But the Holy Spirit rises up within us
to super-intercede on our behalf,
pleading to God with emotional sighs
too deep for words.
God, the searcher of the heart,
knows fully our longings,
yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit,
because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads
before God for us, his holy ones,
in perfect harmony with God’s plan
and our destiny.
Romans 8:26,27
And these signs will follow those who believe:
In My name they will cast out demons;
they will speak with new tongues;
they will take up serpents;
and if they drink anything deadly,
it will by no means hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick,
and they will recover.”
Mark 16:17,18
If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Luke 11:11-13
But you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit
and were inspired to speak in tongues
empowered by the Spirit to speak in
languages they had never learned!
Acts 2:4
And when they had prayed,
the place where they were assembled together was shaken;
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:31
And when Paul had laid hands on them,
the Holy Spirit came upon them,
and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
Acts 19:6
For he who speaks in a tongue
does not speak to men but to God,
for no one understands him;
however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:2
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays,
but my understanding is unfruitful.
What is the conclusion then?
I will pray with the spirit,
and I will also pray with the understanding.
I will sing with the spirit,
and I will also sing with the understanding
1 Corinthians 14:14,15
Confess your trespasses to one another,
and pray for one another, that you may be healed.
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours,
and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain;
and it did not rain on the land for
three years and six months.
And he prayed again,
and the heaven gave rain,
and the earth produced its fruit.
James 5:16-18
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners;
and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:8
Favor
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 1:17-23
Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Isaiah 61:1-
But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.
Luke 8:15
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
