My wife and I had just moved into a new place, in a new city, and the first night there, I had a nightmare, which was a rare occurrence. However, this nightmare was so intensely real that it woke me up. I heard a shriek in the nightmare, and it was ringing in my ears as I woke up. I knew at that moment that this was a spiritual attack, and not just some fever dream induced by the food I had eaten the night before.
The Lord clearly told me that the spirit of witchcraft had a stronghold in the neighbor’s home. Later this was confirmed, while I was on a walk, and I discovered that the neighbors’ trees and exterior were covered in strange wiccan and pagan artifacts. That same day I took a few hours to gather scriptures about spiritual warfare and witchcraft in order to write a crafted prayer.
Crafted prayers are important because they allow us to pray more effectively and specifically, using the language and promises found in scripture. When we craft a prayer, we are intentionally choosing words and phrases that reflect our faith and trust in God, and that align with His character and will for our lives. This kind of prayer can be particularly helpful when we are facing specific challenges or spiritual attacks, such as the threat of witchcraft.
By grounding our prayers in scripture, we can draw on the promises of God and declare His power and authority over any darkness or evil that we may encounter. These prayers can be a powerful tool for spiritual warfare, helping us to stand firm in our faith and trust in God's sovereignty.
As I prayed this prayer (which is found below), I had a vision from the Lord of a blinding white light rushing into the home next door. At the same exact moment of that vision, I heard a blood-curdling scream from the next-door house! The same unclean spirit that tried to intimidate me with a shriek invading my dreams, was now screaming as the glorious presence of Christ was invading that home.
From that night on, there were no more nightmares, and one by one, the pagan trinkets came down from the home!
I encourage you to save this prayer on your phone, or print it out, and destroy the works of the devil!
Lord we stand firm on your word that says “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.” (Isaiah 54:17 NKJV). We know this is our heritage so we declare that the weapons of witchcraft are broken in the name of Jesus, and we condemn every tongue that has risen against us.
Lord, Your word says that You will curse him who curses me. (Genesis 12:3 NKJV). Therefore I ask that you curse any evil spirit that is coming against me, my family, my friends, my ministry, my finances, my health, and my city in Jesus’ name.
Lord, we cancel the assignments and powers of the one who practices witchcraft, the soothsayers, the one who interprets omens, the sorcerers, the one who conjures spells, the mediums, the spiritists, or the one who calls up the dead. We know that all who do these things are an abomination to You, and because of these abominations You are driving them out from before us. (Deuteronomy 18:9-12 NKJV)
Lord we ask that you would work so mightily against these spirits so that any of those who had practiced magic would bring their books together and burn them in the sight of all. (Acts 19:19 NKJV)
Lord, like you did with Saul, would you fill the houses of witches, warlocks, pagans, and wiccans with a blinding white light of Your glory. We ask that such a mighty work be done, that like Simon, these individuals would be freed from demonic possession and would give their life to you.
We declare a total undoing of all things witchcraft and declare a new dimension of God’s glory and righteousness to be poured out upon me and my household!
