Pray for the Defeat of the Enemies of the Church

Intercession 5.6 | NASB

For the breaking of the power of all the enemies of the church and the defeating of all their designs against her.

Let all who take their stand and take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed, who would tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from them, devise a vain thing. Let Him who sits in the heavens laugh at them and scoff at them; speak to them in Your anger and terrify them in Your fury. Psalm 2:1-5(NASB) Give them, O LORD, what You will give them; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. Hosea 9:14(NASB)

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like chaff before the wind; Psalm 83:13(NASB) fill their faces with dishonor, that they may seek Your name, O LORD, Psalm 83:16(NASB) and that they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:18(NASB)

Put them in fear, O LORD, that the nations may know that they are but men. Psalm 9:20(NASB) And wherein the proud enemies of Your church deal proudly, make it to appear that You are above them. Exodus 18:11(NASB)

May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward; let them be like grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up. Psalm 129:5-6(NASB)

Let no weapon formed against Your church prosper, and let every tongue that accuses it in judgment be condemned. Isaiah 54:17(NASB)

Make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples, and let all who lift it be severely injured, though all the nations of the earth should be gathered against it; Zechariah 12:3(NASB) so let all Your enemies perish, O LORD, but let those who love You be like the rising of the sun in its might. Judges 5:31(NASB)

Lord, let the man of lawlessness be slain with the breath of Your mouth and brought to an end by the appearance of Your coming: 2 Thessalonians 2:8(NASB) And let those be undeceived who have long been under the power of deluding influences to believe what is false, and let them receive the love of the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11(NASB)

Let Babylon fall and sink like a millstone into the sea; Revelation 18:21(NASB) and let the kings of the earth who have given their kingdom and honor to the beast, Revelation 17:17(NASB) be wrought upon at length to bring them into the new Jerusalem. Revelation 21:26(NASB)

Pray for the Health, Purity, and Holiness of the Church

Intercession 5.5 | NASB

For the amending of everything that is amiss in the church, the reviving of primitive Christianity and the power of godliness, and, to that end, the pouring out of the Spirit.

Lord, let Your Spirit be poured out upon Your churches from on high, and then the wilderness will become a fruitful field; Isaiah 32:15(NASB) then judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. Psalm 94:15(NASB)

Let what remains be set in order, Titus 1:5(NASB) and let every plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting be uprooted. Matthew 15:13(NASB)

Let the Lord whom I seek come to His temple like a refiner’s fire and fullers’ soap, and let Him purify the sons of Levi and all the seed of Israel, and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness, pleasing offerings to the LORD as in the days of old, as in former years. Malachi 3:2-4(NASB)

Let pure and undefiled religion in the sight of my God and Father, flourish and prevail everywhere: James 1:27(NASB) that kingdom of God among men, which is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17(NASB) O revive this work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; Habakkuk 3:2(NASB) and let these times be times of reformation. Hebrews 9:10(NASB)

Pray for the Conversion of Non-Christians who are Hostile to Christianity

Intercession 5.4 | NASB

For the conviction and conversion of atheists, deists, and infidels, and of all who are out of the way of truth, and of profane scoffers and those who disgrace Christianity by their vicious and immoral lives.

O teach transgressors Your ways, and let sinners be converted to You. Psalm 51:13(NASB)

O grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, 2 Timothy 2:25(NASB) the truth as it is in Jesus, Ephesians 4:21(NASB) the truth which is according to godliness; Titus 1:1(NASB) that they may escape from the snare of the devil. 2 Timothy 2:26(NASB)

Let those who are continually straying like sheep return to Jesus Christ, the Shepherd and Guardian of His people’s souls. 1 Peter 2:25(NASB)

Show those fools their folly and misery who have said in their hearts, “There is no God,” and who are corrupt and have committed abominable deeds. Psalm 14:1(NASB)

Lord, maintain the honor of the Scriptures, the law and the testimony, and convince those who do not speak according to that word, that it is because they have no dawn. Isaiah 8:20(NASB) Magnify that word according to all Your name; Psalm 138:2(NASB) make the law great, make the gospel great, and make both glorious. Isaiah 42:21(NASB)

Let those who will not be won by the word, be won by the behavior of Christians, 1 Peter 3:1(NASB) which I beg may be such in everything that those who do not believe may be convicted by all and called to account by all, may be brought to worship God and to declare that God is certainly among them. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25(NASB)
