WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? - If we are warriors for CHRIST, then how do we fight the war using spiritual warfare? The scripture below shows us that CHRIST was a warrior for God and we are to be warriors for CHRIST. The war consists of two fronts: an earthly and a heavenly. On earth we do not war against humans but against the demons in humans. We do not fight (physically, mentally, spiritually or materially) with our brothers or sisters, saved or unsaved. We do pray for those who are unsaved to receive salvation but do not cast out their demons. For the saved, we bind up the demons and cast them out of their bodies. We pray for Salvation, DELIVERANCE, Baptism, Healing and Prosperity. We Teach, Counsel, Pray and Minister as the Holy Spirit leads. In other words, we minister to the all the needs of our brethren in every area of their lives. God has made provisions for every need we have in every area of our lives!
On earth we battle for our minds which is the main battle for the human race. Physically we fight for our bodies to be healthy. We battle with our finances against the forces of evil by tithes and offerings supporting the true works of God. Time is spent in following the Christian walk: fellow-shipping with other Christians, reading the Bible, fasting, praying, meditating, studying, and strengthening ourselves. Time is spent in helping others: teaching, counseling, praying and ministry. We battle mentally, physically, materially, spiritually with our time, talents and resources.
In the heavenlies we war against Satan and his army of fallen angels, demons and imps. This is mainly a spiritual battle of prayer against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. There are two heavenlies: Godly and ungodly. We ask God to loose His forces to battle for us and we bind the forces of Satan.

TACTICS TO WIN THE WAR AGAINST SATAN
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12).
Opening Prayers - Forgive us for failure to align ourselves perfectly with God's Will, known sin and rebellion, emotional stress and trauma, submissions to an ungodly cover, inherited curses, worldly art and music, ownership of unclean objects, failure to cleanse property and places, failure to tithe, unforgiveness, idolatry and a lack of separation from the things of the world.
We ask for forgiveness, confess contact with the occult, close doors to Satan, break curses, renounce psychic bondage, cut evil soul ties, loose the mind, restore the fragmented soul, confess sins of the fathers, surrender to Jesus and renounce evil. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Declaration - Seated in heavenly places, far above evil, having power over the enemy, we bind and cast down the demonic chain of command: Might, Thrones, Nobles, Kings and Princes over Kingdoms, Principalities, Dominions and Powers, Generals, Rulers, Captains, Centurions and Strongmen, Rulers of Darkness of this World and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places.
We send legions of waring angels to attack. We loose the powers of God to do a mighty battle. We bind every force of evil and loose every force of good that we have the power and authority to do so. We break curses, vexes, hexes, spells and demonic ties.
We use every verse in the Holy Bible that wars against the demonic forces. We bind and loose spirits. We command civil war in Satan's Kingdom. We loose the Love of God, Price that Jesus Paid, Holy Spirit, Word of God, Blood of Jesus and Cross of Jesus against the forces of evil. All these things we do in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Master and Savior, and for the Holy Trinity.
Jesus spoiled principalities and powers, destroyed the power of death, and destroyed the works of the Devil. Since I am a representative of the Son of God, I am to destroy the works of the Devil on earth. I shall bruise the head of the Serpent, I have power over all the power of the enemy, and no weapon that is formed against me shall prosper. With the help of the Lord Jesus Christ, I make a vow to God to do as much damage to the Kingdom of Satan as I can do as long as I live.
Commands - We return curses and demons back to the senders. We use our weapons against the Kingdom of Darkness. Satan, we are closing every door that you may have opened in us from evil contacts. Jesus Christ became a curse on the cross for us and blotted out the Handwriting of Ordinances against us. We break the curses back to Adam and Eve, and destroy legal holds and grounds that the demons have to work in our lives.
We bind the spirits' power and loose ourselves from their holds. We break demonic soul ties. We ask for the necessary spiritual gifts and especially the gift of discernment to minister to the people. We ask for the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the authority of Jesus Christ. We have been given power and authority over Satan and his army.
We send angels with boxes to separately seal each demon in, chain and gag the demons, read scripture to the demons day and night, and fill the boxes with the Glory of God. We loose the angels to spin the demons minds round and round, to chase and harass, to bruise, crush and flatten the heads of the serpentine spirits, and to snip off the tails of the scorpion spirits.
We order the princes and rulers to be bound with chains and thrown down before the other spirits, and their foreheads to be written in red letters that Jesus Christ Is My Lord. We command the lesser spirits to attack the traitors in the camp and throw them out. We release the spirit which attacked the Midianites in Gideon's day.
We command the demon's answers to stand up in the Judgement.
We send the warrior angels with swords to chain the rulers and throw the Fire of God on them. We ask that the demons be cut into pieces and scattered over the dry places.
You are defeated by Jesus and must obey His Commands. We adopt each other as spiritual sons and daughters, and cover us with the Compassion and Love of God. We use love as a weapon. We command the demons to manifest only as God permits. We use tongues of men and angels to expel demons.
We bind powers over our area, break assignments from powers in the heavenlies to demons in the people, and ask for legions of covering angels for protection. We bind the strong men and their spirits.
The Lord Jesus rebuke you. We command that you confess that Jesus Christ is your Lord. We ask for the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We anoint with oil symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
We intercede for our loved ones.
We command the ruling spirits to cast out their underlings.
We command the angels to assist in the work of deliverance as directed by God.
We break evil curses, vexes, hexes, jinxes, psychic powers, bewitchments, potions, charms, incantations, spells, witchcraft and sorcery. We break all cords, snares, controls and bondages. We ask that the Power of God be manifested. We command the demons to go to Tartarus with the fallen angels, or wherever Jesus sends them.
We use the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and cover us with the Blood of the Lamb. We agree with The Covenant of the Blood. We use the Psalms as imprecations and pronouncements against the enemies of God, and call down the wrath of God upon spiritual foes. We sing songs about the Blood of Jesus.
We command that every knee to bow and tongue to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
We come against unholy spirits, fallen angels, demons, devils, empire of evil, and the entire Kingdom of Satan in humans and animals. We come against Councils, Principalities, Powers, World rulers, and Wicked spirits in Heavenly Places. We come against Chiefs and Kings, Princes, Kingdoms, Dominions, Generals, Rulers, Captains, Centurions, Strongmen, and Imps.
There is Power in the Blood of Jesus
1. Through the Blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the Devil (Eph. 1:7).
2. Through the Blood of Jesus, all my sins are forgiven (Psa. 107:2).
3. The Blood of Jesus, God's Son, continually cleanses me from all sin
(1 John. 1:7).
4. Through the Blood of Jesus, I am justified, made righteous, just as if I'd never sinned (Rom. 5:9).
5. Through the Blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God (Heb. 13:12).
6. My body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, by the Blood of Jesus (1 Cor. 6:19-20).
7. Satan has no place in, no power over me, through the Blood of Jesus and The Word of God (Rev. 12:11).
Closing Prayers - We pray for healing from the works of the demons. We bind all remaining demons until they can be cast out or leave of their own accord. We ask angels to be stationed on our properties to guard us. We loose godly spirits from the Lord to operate in our lives. We agree to cleanse our beings, possessions and homes of unclean objects, in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
