PRAYING THE SCRIPTURES FOR WARFARE AND WELFARE

The prayer points below are powerful prayers extracted from the scriptures.

God gave me the method of praying using the scriptures several years ago. That is the system we use in our New York church and around the world. We have found this method to be an effective way to intercede. Since the word of God is the will of God, it is impossible to pray the promises, precepts and practices of the Bible and pray amiss. When we allow the Bible to become our prayer, we experience an inspired vocabulary, and our communication with God is invigorated. Many who have used my other prayer book: Praying the Psalms for Spiritual Warfare have testified to the fact that the word of God is a powerful prayer tool. I believe that God will perform great wonders in your life as you pray these prayer points.

Please feel free to come up with additional prayer points that are relevant to the quoted scriptures.

Your prayer life will not be the same.

Praying the Scriptures To make enemies change their minds

Acts 28:3-5
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
Acts 28: 6
Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a God.

Praying the Scriptures Against anti-favor spirits


Genesis 37:3-11, 18-20

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

Genesis 39:6-7

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

The two worst enemies of favor in your life are people in your family and people on your job.

Praying the Scriptures To become well favored like Joseph


Psalm 119:58

58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. Genesis 39:2-6
2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

Genesis 39:21-23
21 But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper.

Esther 2:15

15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.

Praying the Scriptures To open doors Acts 14:27 27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

2 Corinthians 2:12 12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

Colossians 4:3 3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

Before I give you these prayer points here are three things I want to draw your attention to from these scriptures:

1. In the natural we deal with doors on a daily basis. I don’t know what time of the day you are reading this. If it is around mid-day for example, you must have confronted several doors; bedroom door, bathroom door, home front door, car door, bus door, train door, office door, to name a few.
2. As it is in the physical so it is in the spiritual. Wherever you want to go in life. Whatever you want to achieve in life. Whatever you want to have in life, there is always a door that stands between you and that thing or that place.

For the student, it is the door of admission to a college.
For the applicant, it is door of employment.
For the employed, it may be the door of promotion.
For the single, it is the door of marriage.
For the married, it may be the door of childbirth.

The list is endless.

Only God can open the doors we need to enter through and we need to pray for him to do just that.

PRAYER POINTS

• Lord, let no closed door refuse to be opened before me, in Jesus’ name.

• O Lord, deliver me from enemies of open doors, in Jesus’ name.
• Every power holding my doors shut, scatter by fire, in Jesus’ name.

• Lord, before this year is over, surprise those that said doors will never open for me, in Jesus’ name.
• All household enemies that are determined to shut me in, be disappointed in Jesus’ name.
• Good doors/great doors that have never been opened to anyone before, I command you to open for me, in the name of Jesus.
• Doors that will propel me to my full potential in what I do, open for me in Jesus’ name.
• I command doors of uncommon advancement to open by fire, in Jesus’ name.
• I decree right now that doors that will bring me great joy must open, in Jesus’ name.
• My father, open the doors of local, national and international recognition for me in what I do, in Jesus’ name.
• As the door of excellence was opened to Daniel, O Lord, let the door of excellence open for me in all that I do, in Jesus’ name.
• As the door of wisdom was opened to Solomon, O God, open the fountain of wisdom to me in all I do, in Jesus’ name.
• Let powerful doors of ideas be opened up for me, in Jesus’ name.
