Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), is known for powerful warfare prayers designed to combat spiritual forces of darkness. Warfare prayers are essential for believers facing spiritual battles, helping to break free from oppression, demonic attacks, and strongholds that hinder spiritual growth. These warfare prayer points with accompanying scriptures will guide you as you engage in spiritual warfare, standing on the authority of God’s Word.
1. Praying for the Destruction of Strongholds
Strongholds are spiritual fortresses built by the enemy in our minds or lives to keep us in bondage. Pray for the pulling down of every stronghold in your life.
Scripture:
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:4)
Prayer:
“Father, in the name of Jesus, I pull down every stronghold of the enemy over my life. Every mental, emotional, and spiritual fortress the enemy has built, I command it to be destroyed by the power of the Holy Spirit. I declare freedom from every demonic stronghold, and I claim victory through the blood of Jesus.”
2. Praying Against Spiritual Oppression and Demonic Attacks
Demonic oppression can manifest in many forms, from attacks on your health to disruptions in your relationships. Pray to break free from any spiritual attack.
Scripture:
“No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)
Prayer:
“Every weapon formed against me, my family, and my destiny, I command it to be destroyed in the name of Jesus. Every arrow of oppression, return to your sender. I speak against every demonic attack coming against my health, my finances, and my peace. I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and I walk in victory in the name of Jesus.”
3. Praying for the Anointing to Break Every Yoke
The anointing of the Holy Spirit breaks yokes of bondage. Pray for God’s anointing to destroy every yoke placed upon your life by the enemy.
Scripture:
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” (Isaiah 10:27)
Prayer:
“Father, I pray for the anointing of the Holy Spirit to fall upon me and destroy every yoke of bondage. Every yoke of sickness, failure, poverty, and oppression in my life, let it be broken in Jesus’ name. I declare that by the power of the anointing, I am free from every satanic burden in Jesus’ name.”
4. Praying for Divine Protection from the Enemy’s Schemes
The enemy is constantly devising schemes to derail believers. Pray for God’s divine protection over your life, family, and all that concerns you.
Scripture:
“The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:7-8)
Prayer:
“Lord, I cover myself and my family with the blood of Jesus. I declare that no scheme or plot of the enemy will prevail against us. Every trap set for me, let it be exposed and destroyed. Surround me with Your divine protection, and let Your angels encamp around me and my household. I declare that no harm shall come near me in the name of Jesus.”
5. Praying Against Generational Curses
Generational curses are patterns of sin, sickness, or failure that run in families. Pray for the breaking of every curse that has been passed down through your family line.
Scripture:
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’” (Galatians 3:13)
Prayer:
“Lord, I thank You that Christ has redeemed me from every curse. I break every generational curse that has been operating in my family, whether it is sickness, poverty, failure, or sin. I declare that I am free from the curses of the past, and I step into the blessings that come through Christ. Every demonic cycle, I break it now in Jesus’ name.”
6. Praying for Victory Over Witchcraft and Occult Powers
Witchcraft and occult powers work to manipulate and oppress. Pray against every form of witchcraft that may be operating against your life.
Scripture:
“There is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” (Numbers 23:23)
Prayer:
“Every witchcraft power working against my life, be destroyed in the name of Jesus. I nullify every enchantment, divination, and spell sent against me by the blood of Jesus. Every altar raised against my destiny, let it catch fire and burn to ashes in Jesus’ name. I declare that I am covered by the blood of Jesus, and no witchcraft power can touch me.”
7. Praying Against Dream Manipulation and Attacks
The enemy often attacks through dreams, bringing confusion, fear, and torment. Pray to stop every demonic dream manipulation and claim victory over your dreams.
Scripture:
“When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.” (Psalm 4:8)
Prayer:
“Father, I take authority over every demonic attack in my dreams. I cover my mind, my sleep, and my dreams with the blood of Jesus. Every satanic manipulation or attack in my dreams, I command it to be destroyed now. I claim peaceful, restful sleep, and I declare that You alone, Lord, will give me divine visions and dreams in Jesus’ name.”
8. Praying for the Destruction of Evil Altars
Evil altars are spiritual places where curses, covenants, and sacrifices are made against individuals or families. Pray for the destruction of every evil altar speaking against your life.
Scripture:
“They demolished the altars of the Baals in his presence, and he cut down the incense altars that were above them, and he broke in pieces the Asherim and the carved and metal images.” (2 Chronicles 34:4)
Prayer:
“Lord, every evil altar speaking against my life, let it be destroyed by the fire of God. I tear down every satanic altar, every altar of limitation, failure, or death set up against me. Let the fire of God consume these altars now, and I declare that no evil altar has power over my life in Jesus’ name.”
9. Praying for Deliverance from Spirit Spouses and Spiritual Marriages
Spirit spouses (spiritual husbands or wives) are demonic entities that claim marriage to an individual, causing problems in earthly relationships and marriages. Pray for deliverance from spirit spouses and break all ungodly covenants.
Scripture:
“For your Maker is your husband—the Lord Almighty is his name.” (Isaiah 54:5)
Prayer:
“In the name of Jesus, I renounce and break every covenant made with any spirit spouse. Every spiritual marriage that has been formed against my life, I break it by the power of the blood of Jesus. I declare that Jesus Christ is my Lord, and I am married to Him alone. I command every spirit spouse to leave now and never return in Jesus’ name.”
10. Praying for Deliverance from Stagnation and Delay
Spiritual forces can cause delay in areas such as finances, relationships, career, or ministry. Pray against every spirit of stagnation and delay, and declare divine acceleration over your life.
Scripture:
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm.” (Joel 2:25)
Prayer:
“Lord, I come against every spirit of stagnation and delay in my life. Every force holding back my progress, I command you to release me now in the name of Jesus. I declare divine acceleration in every area of my life—my career, my finances, and my relationships. I will recover all that has been delayed or lost, and I will move forward in the name of Jesus.”
11. Praying for the Breaking of Evil Covenants
Evil covenants are agreements made, knowingly or unknowingly, with the kingdom of darkness. Pray for the breaking of every evil covenant that may be affecting your life or destiny.
Scripture:
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” (Revelation 12:11)
Prayer:
“Father, I stand on the victory of the blood of Jesus, and I break every evil covenant made on my behalf. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, I renounce and cancel every covenant with darkness. Let the blood of Jesus speak for me, and I declare that I am in covenant with the Almighty God alone. Every evil agreement, be broken now in Jesus’ name.”
12. Praying for Divine Restoration
After spiritual warfare, pray for divine restoration in every area where the enemy has stolen or destroyed. Ask for God’s full restoration of blessings, peace, and joy.
Scripture:
“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.” (Joel 2:25)
Prayer:
“Lord, I ask for divine restoration in every area of my life where the enemy has stolen or destroyed. Restore my health, my peace, my relationships, my finances, and my spiritual life. I claim back everything that has been lost, and I declare that I will walk in the fullness of Your blessing. Let there be complete restoration in the name of Jesus.”
