We stand with you in prayer against the evil influences that permeate our world through movies and books promoting witchcraft and other ungodly practices. It is crucial to remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12, WEB).
We come against these evil influences in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, binding the power of the enemy that seeks to ensnare young people and all who are exposed to these things. We pray that God would bless us with holy lives, like the saints and anointed ones who performed miracles, to overcome these evil influences. Remember, it is not by might, nor by power, but by God's Spirit (Zechariah 4:6, WEB) that we can make a difference.
Let us also put on the full armor of God, to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11, WEB). This includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
We must be vigilant and discerning about what we consume and promote godly alternatives that edify and uplift. As it is written, Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things (Philippians 4:8, WEB).
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are the source of all goodness and light. We ask that You would shine Your light into the darkness, exposing the evil influences that seek to ensnare Your children through media and literature. Bind the power of the enemy over all who see these things, and bless us with holy lives that perform miracles to overcome these evil influences. Guide us and give us discernment to consume and promote that which is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Equip us with Your full armor, that we may stand firm against the wiles of the devil. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, let us always remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, consider believing in Jesus Christ and accepting Him as your personal Lord and Savior.
