When Entering Enemy Territory

Father God, please help defend me today

when I enter enemy territory in this world.
If I share the gospel with the lost, I know
that I am opposing the prince of darkness
and his wicked army of demons and am
entering his realm. Jesus, I know that I am
like a lamb among the wolves (Luke 10:3).
But I also know that the demons are
subject to You, Lord, (Luke 10:17), that no
enemy who opposes me will prevail
because I have Your own authority to take
the gospel into the kingdom of darkness,
that
you have given us power over the enemy
(Luke 10:19), and that no weapon turned
against [me] will succeed (Isaiah 54:17).
Because You have defeated the enemy at
the cross, I am asking You to protect me
from those who would be against me,
including those under the sway of Satan,
as it is for Your purpose that I go today
and every day to seek the lost; that I can

have the power that comes from the Holy

Spirit and the power and authority that
come from You to be Your witnesses in all
the world (Acts 1:8); and that you go with
me wherever I go today and are with me
even until the end of this present age
(Matt 28:20). In the Sovereign King of
kings and Lord of lords name, Jesus
Christ, I pray. Amen.

To Recognize the Enemy

Righteous Father, I ask You to help me see
the Enemy when he attacks so that I can
recognize when he does. I know that I
fight an invisible foe who is stronger than
I. I am wrestling not against flesh and
blood but against the powers of darkness
and the rulers of evil, against the
authorities, against the cosmic powers in
the present age. I understand that I am
fighting against the spiritual forces of evil

in the heavenly places (Eph 6:12). Thank

You, God, for providing the armor I will
need today and everyday, including the
breastplate
of
righteousness
You
provided, the belt of truth, the shield of
faith, the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word
(Eph 6:13-17). In the Mighty Name of
Jesus I pray. Amen.

Greater is He that Is in You than

He that Is in the World
Father God, I know that Your Spirit within
me is greater than he, the evil one, that is
in the world (1 John 4:4), and this enemy

presently holds those who are blinded

held captive because the god of this
world has blinded the minds of the
unbelievers, to keep them from seeing
the light of the gospel of the glory of
Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Cor
4:4). Please help me that Satan might
not outwit [me and that I am] not
unaware of his schemes (2 Cor 2:11). He
has surely never given up on trying to
hold captive those who are still in his
sway, and many cannot escape from the
snare of the devil (2 Tim 2:26), who has
held hostage the whole world (Rev 12:9)
except those who have been set free by
Your Son, Jesus Christ. Please help me to
know that I am secure in Your hands (John
10:28-29) and to not fear what man or
the enemy can do, for since You are for
me, who could ever oppose me (Rom
8:31). For this I thank You, dear Lord and
Great God. In the precious name of the
Lamb of God, Who died for me, I pray.
Amen.
