The Bible is the Word of God, it is he word that gives life, power, and is full of authority. When we read it, we carry authority, power, and the fire of the Holy Ghost, and we also hold the voice of God in our hands. Everything God says in His Word carries weight. And He gave it to us so we can speak it, believe it, and use it in our everyday lives.
God didn’t give us His Word to keep on a shelf. He gave it so we can declare it with boldness, especially when we pray. His Word is our weapon in spiritual battles. It’s our sword when the enemy comes. It’s our anchor when the storms of life hit. And it’s the truth that never changes, no matter what’s happening around us.
That’s why, when we pray, especially intercessory prayers like this, we must use the Word of God. We don’t pray based on our emotions or how bad a situation looks. We pray by reminding God of what He has already said. We hold Him to His promises, not because He forgot them, but because that’s what He told us to do. He watches over His Word to make sure it comes true.
Bible Verses for Intercessory Prayer
When we speak His Word in prayer, things happen. Darkness retreats. Angels are sent. Doors open. Healing comes. Peace flows. It’s not just us talking, it’s heaven backing us up.
So don’t just hope when you pray. Declare the Word. Speak with confidence. Use Scripture like a key that unlocks things in the spirit. God’s Word is alive, and when you speak it in faith, it will never return empty.
1. Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world…”
Father God, I thank You for opening my eyes to the truth that this fight is not against people, it’s against unseen forces that are working behind the scenes. Lord, I know the enemy is organized. He sends principalities to govern regions, powers to influence systems, and rulers of darkness to spread wickedness. But I am not afraid. I rise today as a soldier in Your army.
In the mighty name of Jesus, I come against every spirit causing confusion in families, division in churches, corruption in governments, and darkness over nations. I speak directly to territorial demons that have been ruling cities, towns, and even homes I serve you notice: Your time is up! The blood of Jesus is against you.
Lord, let Your Kingdom come with power. Let revival break out in the places that have been under heavy spiritual oppression. Let your light drive out every form of darkness. I declare that the gates of hell will not prevail over the Church, over our homes, or over our destiny. I will not back down. I will not stay silent. I fight in the Spirit today with faith, authority, and fire. In Jesus’ name, amen.
2. 2 Corinthians 10:4–5
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds…”
Lord, I thank You that You have not left me defenseless in this battle. I am not fighting with human tools, I fight with divine weapons. You’ve given me the Word, faith, prayer, truth, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Today, I use every weapon available to tear down the enemy’s strongholds.
I come against every mental stronghold that’s been planted in my life or in the lives of those I love. Every lie of the enemy that says, “You’re not good enough,” or “God has forgotten you,” I pull it down right now. I destroy strongholds of fear, lust, addiction, pride, depression, and failure. I cancel every demonic mindset passed down through generations.
I declare that every thought in my mind, and in the minds of my children and my household, will line up with the truth of God. I bring every imagination and rebellious thought into obedience to Christ. Let Your truth reign in our minds, Lord. Let every dark fortress crumble. I will not be a prisoner to fear or deception. I take back my mental territory in Jesus’ name. Amen.
3. Isaiah 54:17
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn…”
Lord, Your Word is clear, no weapon formed against me shall win. I believe it. I hold onto it. And today, I declare it loud and clear. Weapons may be formed, but they will not succeed. I don’t care if the weapon is gossip, witchcraft, betrayal, sickness, manipulation, or spiritual attack it will not work.
I speak over my life and over my family: Every curse spoken in the dark, every evil word uttered in secret places, every demonic projection from altars or covens, I return them to sender in the name of Jesus! Let those weapons be shattered. Let those tongues be silenced. I condemn every word that rises in judgment against me. Whether it was spoken out of jealousy, hatred, or ignorance, I break its power right now.
Lord, I lift up the shield of faith over myself, my children, my home, and my calling. I cover myself in the blood of Jesus, which is stronger than any magic, spell, or curse. I declare that I walk in divine protection. Nothing formed by the enemy will penetrate my spiritual armor. I am hidden in Christ, and no harm shall find me. Amen.
4. Psalm 18:39
“For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.”
Father, I thank You for not leaving me weak. You give me strength for every battle I face, strength I didn’t even know I had. You don’t just call me to fight; You prepare me for victory. Thank you for equipping me with spiritual muscles and warrior courage.
Right now, I receive fresh strength for this season. I refuse to be tired, discouraged, or distracted. Let your power flow into my spirit. Teach my hands to war and my fingers to fight. Let every attack that comes my way meet resistance in the Spirit. Let every giant that rises before me fall like Goliath before David.
Lord, subdue every enemy rising against me, whether spiritual, emotional, financial, or relational. Put my adversaries under my feet. Help me not only fight but win. I will not surrender. I will not be intimidated. You are the one who trains me and goes before me. And because you are with me, I declare victory over every spiritual battle. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
5. Luke 10:19
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy…”
Jesus, you didn’t just save me to survive, you empowered me to conquer. You gave me authority to crush the head of every serpent and trample every scorpion that dares rise against my life. Thank you for giving me spiritual power over every wicked spirit, every marine force, every ancestral curse, and every demonic operation.
Today, I stand in that authority, not in fear, but in faith. I trample over spirits of witchcraft, manipulation, sickness, barrenness, confusion, and delay. I command them to flee from my house, my health, my marriage, my children, and my future. I declare that nothing shall harm me, because I am covered by the blood and empowered by the Spirit.
Wherever the enemy has planted poison in my path, I neutralize it. Every spiritual scorpion sent to sting me with pain and bitterness—I crush it now. Every serpent that came to seduce or deceive, I expose and destroy it in Jesus’ name. I am not weak. I am not a victim. I am a warrior. And I walk in divine power and kingdom dominion. Amen!
6. Psalm 144:1
“Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight…”
Lord, I bless You today because You are my strength. You don’t send me into battle unarmed or untrained. You take time to teach my hands to war, not just with weapons, but with worship, with wisdom, and with prophetic understanding. You are raising me up not just as a prayer warrior, but as a skilled soldier in the Spirit.
Lord, show me how to war with strategy like David, who waited for the sound of marching in the mulberry trees before advancing. Give me the boldness of Elijah, who stood against the prophets of Baal with unwavering faith. Teach me when to speak with fire and when to wait in silence. Show me how to pray prayers that strike like arrows and reach their divine targets.
Help me not to pray aimless prayers. Let my prayers carry weight. Let them move mountains, silence demons, and shift atmospheres. I refuse to waste my voice, i will speak only what heaven says. Use my hands, my voice, and my time for holy battle. Make me dangerous to hell’s agenda, and victorious in every battle I face. In Jesus’ name, amen.
7. Jeremiah 1:10
“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”
Father, I thank You that You have given me spiritual authority to speak over territories and nations. I don’t stand in my own name—I stand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who has set me above rulers of darkness. I receive my assignment today to root out what is evil, to tear down what is corrupt, and to make room for Your kingdom.
Right now, I root out every evil altar speaking against my land, my family, my bloodline and my church. I uproot spirits of witchcraft, violence, sexual immorality, idolatry, and greed. I pull down demonic thrones and demonic institutions, both physical and spiritual, that have taken root in my region. Every high place that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, I cast it down in Jesus’ name!
And Lord, I don’t just destroy, I build. I plant. I release the Word of the Lord to plant new altars of worship, truth, holiness, and love. Let revival be planted where there was once ruin. Let the Kingdom of God rise where darkness once ruled. Let Your glory fill the earth as I stand in agreement with heaven. Amen!
8. Revelation 12:11
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…”
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your blood, the blood that conquered death, hell, and the grave. The blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. The blood that silences every accusation of the enemy. Today, I plead the blood of Jesus over my spirit, soul, body, family, calling, and future.
Every time Satan reminds me of my past, I answer with the blood. Every accusation coming from dark altars, covens, curses, or generational sin, I cancel it now by the blood. Let the blood of the Lamb render every demonic contract null and void. I erase every handwriting of ordinances written against me. I stand as a blood-washed warrior, free, redeemed, and dangerous.
And I overcome by the word of my testimony. I testify today that Jesus is Lord over my life, my house, my territory, and everything that concerns me. I testify that I am not a victim, I am a victor. I declare the enemy defeated, the Cross victorious, and my mouth filled with praise. I have overcome because the Lamb has triumphed! Amen.
9. Isaiah 49:25
“But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away… for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.”
Mighty God, today I rise on behalf of my family, my bloodline, and those You’ve placed under my spiritual covering. I thank you because no matter how strong the enemy is, you are stronger. Even when it feels like hope is lost, you promise to fight for me and to save my children.
So now, Lord, contend with those who contend with me! Fight those who fight against my children’s destiny. I break the grip of every spirit trying to drag them into rebellion, confusion, addiction, or destruction. I plead the blood of Jesus over their minds, their choices, and their calling. I decree that no power of hell will snatch them from Your hand.
Every voice calling my children into darkness, I silence you in Jesus’ name. Every chain around their life, I break it now. Father, rescue those who have gone astray. Snatch them from the pit, even if they’re not crying out. I intercede for their full salvation. They shall not die in sin—they shall live and declare Your works! I believe in full deliverance and total restoration. In Jesus’ name, amen.
10. Romans 16:20
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly…”
Father, You are not only the God of mercy, you are the God of vengeance. You are the God who bruises the enemy. You are the God who will not let the devil win. And I thank You for the promise that You, the God of peace, will crush Satan under my feet.
Lord, I take authority over every satanic plot. Over every generational curse. Over every delay. Over every spirit of death, fear, confusion, and frustration. Satan, you will not have my time, my energy, or my purpose. You are beneath my feet. Every serpent that has been hiding, be exposed and be crushed. Every spirit hiding behind friendly faces, be unmasked and removed.
I decree divine bruising over the devil’s work in my life and my region. Every root of evil planted in my bloodline, I stamp it out with spiritual fire. My feet are shod with the gospel of peace, but they are also weapons of war. I crush, I trample, and I advance. Satan, your reign of terror is over. In the name of Jesus Christ, I have total victory!
11. Job 5:12
“He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.”
Father, I lift my voice today against every evil plan crafted in darkness. You are the God who exposes schemes and brings the devices of the enemy to nothing. I decree today that every secret counsel, every wicked conspiracy, every whispered plot, and every hidden manipulation is brought to shame in the name of Jesus.
Let those who gather against me scatter in confusion. Disappoint their devices. Let their hands fail when they try to carry out their evil enterprise. Let the networks of witches, liars, diviners, and demonic planners collapse under the weight of Your judgment. Father, arise and turn their wisdom into foolishness.
Let every trap they’ve laid for me become their own downfall. I declare today: their hands shall not prosper. Their words shall not stand. Their curses shall not cling. I walk in victory, because the Lord my God is working behind the scenes to overturn the plans of the wicked!
12. Psalm 35:1–3
“Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.”
Jehovah Nissi, my Banner and Defender, I come before You as one surrounded, but not shaken. You are the God who pleads the cause of the innocent and fights battles that are beyond human strength. Today, I ask you to rise up and take my case. Speak for me in places where I have no voice. Fight for me in rooms I cannot enter. Confront those who fight against my destiny.
Draw out your spear, Lord. Block those who chase me with envy, strife, or sabotage. Let those who secretly wish for my downfall be caught in their own net. Let their evil intentions be exposed. Send angels of war to surround me and mine. I will not fight this battle alone, I invite the armies of heaven to intervene! Lord, You are my shield, my sword, and my secret weapon. Turn the tide in my favor, and let those who mocked me see that my God is mighty in battle!
13. 1 Peter 5:8–9
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour…”
Father, I thank You for alerting me to the enemy’s tactics. I refuse to be a sleeping soldier. I am awake, I am alert, and I am standing my ground. I recognize that the devil is always on the move, trying to deceive, destroy, and devour. But I will not give him room. I shut every door in my life through which he has tried to enter.
I resist him today with unwavering faith! I silence every roar of intimidation, be it fear, anxiety, rejection, or failure. Those roars are lies! The only Lion I follow is the Lion of Judah! Lord, make me a gatekeeper over my family, my home, my mind, and my atmosphere.
Every legal ground the enemy has used, I revoke it by the blood of Jesus. Every lingering sin, every unhealed wound, every open door, I shut them all now! No weapon formed, no whisper spoken, no demon assigned will prevail. I stand, watchful and victorious!
14. Zechariah 2:5
“For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about…”
O Lord, I thank You for Your promise to surround me, not just with love, but with fire! Let your presence become a blazing wall around my life. Let your fire be my security. Let every demon that tries to approach be burned by Your holy flames. Let the enemy see and flee. Father, put fire on the borders of my home, around my bed at night, around my children’s school, around my workplace, and around my church.
Let no arrow from the enemy pass through this divine defense. Let no curse, no charm, no spell, no astral projection break through your fiery shield. Make me unapproachable to darkness. And Lord, let this fire not just protect, let it purify. Burn away every spiritual parasite trying to hide. Refine my spirit, soul, and body until I reflect Your glory. I declare that I am surrounded by fire, and the presence of the Lord is my fortress!
15. Psalm 91:13
“Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.”
Father, I praise You for the authority You have given me in Christ. I am not prey, I am a predator in the Spirit! I tread upon every roaring lion that comes to intimidate. I step on serpents of deception, lies, and seduction. I crush the heads of demonic dragons that bring oppression, addiction, and confusion.
I refuse to be hunted. I refuse to be a victim. I walk with dominion and trample everything that tries to rise against Your will for my life. I crush fear. I crush depression. I crush failure. I crush the works of witchcraft and sorcery. Everything that tried to rise up against me, I now walk over it. I will not bow to darkness. I will not run from spiritual attacks. I am covered in the blood, armed with the Word, and moving in kingdom boldness. In Jesus’ name, I rise and trample!
16. Exodus 14:14
“The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
Lord, today I lay down every urge to panic. I let go of the burden to fix things in my own strength. You are the God who fights for me. When I cannot see the way, You part the sea. When I’m surrounded, you set ambushes for my enemies. When I’m quiet in prayer, you roar in the heavens.
So now, I hold my peace, not because I am weak, but because You are strong. I trust your justice. I trust your timing. I trust your vengeance. Fight my unseen battles. Fight in the places I can’t reach, in courtrooms, in backroom conversations, in generational curses, and in spiritual realms I can’t access. Lord, as I rest in You, let victory rise. I will not break down, I will break through, because you are the one doing the fighting. Amen!
17. Isaiah 41:10–11
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee… They that strive with thee shall perish.”
Thank you, Lord, for the promise of Your presence. Because you are with me, I will not fear. No threat can shake me, no opposition can intimidate me, no giant can defeat me. I am not alone, I am covered, surrounded, and backed by the Lord of Hosts.
I cast out the spirit of fear right now. I reject every lie that says “you won’t make it,” or “you’re not strong enough.” Those who rise against me, whether in secret or openly, will stumble and fall. I declare divine justice! Let those who mocked my prayers witness the power of my God. Let the fire of the Lord consume every enemy of my progress.
I wear courage like armor. I stand in boldness, rooted in faith. I declare that the same God who walked with David, Elijah, Deborah, and Daniel walks with me now. I will not be moved. I will not be silenced. The glory of the Lord is upon me, and my victory shall speak loud! Amen!
