Prayer for husband to put on the full armor of God

Dear Lord,

I intercede for my husband. Lord I pray that [he] put on the full armor of God. I pray according to Ephesians 10-18 which says "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore may [name husband] put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, [he] may be able to stand [his] ground, and after [he] have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around [his] waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with [his] feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which [he] can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people."

 Lord, I pray You teach [name husband] how to do this. May [he] desire to fight for You every day. May Your will to be done in [his] life, no matter what the cost. Make [him] wholly thine.

In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen.

Prayer to cast out the spirits of opression

"Lord,

You are my refuge from the oppressor. Deliver me from the wicked that would oppress me and from my deadly enemies that would surround me. I rebuke and cast out all spirits of oppression, sorrow, [insert what oppresses you], and anything attempting to bring me low in the name of Jesus. I am established in righteousness, and I am far from oppression."

[In Jesus' name I pray, Amen]

(From Daily Declarations for Spiritual Warfare by John Eckhardt)

Acts 10:38

New International Version (NIV)
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.



Zechariah 9:8

New International Version (NIV)
But I will encamp at my temple
    to guard it against marauding forces.
Never again will an oppressor overrun my people,
    for now I am keeping watch.


Isaiah 54:14

New International Version (NIV)
14 In righteousness you will be established:
Tyranny will be far from you;
    you will have nothing to fear.
Terror will be far removed;
    it will not come near you.
