Prayers Against Evil
Historically in the Church there was more attention given to the reality of the enemy and evil influence. Here are some prayers for spiritual warfare against the dark forces seeking the destruction of Christian souls.
A Prayer of Spiritual Cleansing
Lord Jesus I realize that the sickness and evil I encounter is more than my humanity can bear. So cleanse me of any sadness, negativity, or despair that I may have picked up. If my ministry has tempted me to anger, impatience, or lust, cleanse me of those temptations and replace them with love, joy, and peace. If any evil spirit have attached themselves to me or oppress me in any way, I command you, spirits of earth, air, fire, or water, of the netherworld or of nature, to depart now and go straight to Jesus Christ, for Him to deal with as He will. Come Holy Spirit, renew me, fill me anew with your power, love and joy; fill me with life.
And Lord Jesus, please send your holy angels to minister to me and my family, and to guard and protect us from all sickness, harm, and accidents. I praise you now and forever, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Amen.
