Prayer Against Witchcraft
In the journey of life, many people encounter spiritual opposition. The Bible is clear that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against unseen spiritual forces. These forces often work through confusion, fear, affliction, and manipulation. From generation to generation, many have stood in the gap through prayer, trusting in the name of the Lord to deliver, protect, and restore.
There are real battles that cannot be fought with hands or won with weapons. They must be fought with faith, through prayer, and by standing on God’s promises. Every believer—young or old—can call on the name of Jesus when facing oppression, spiritual manipulation, tormenting dreams, or negative patterns rooted in evil.
These bold and powerful prayers are grounded in Scripture and built to help anyone stand strong in the Lord when faced with any dark force. Each prayer calls upon God’s authority, power, and truth to destroy strongholds, expose lies, and bring complete deliverance. Whether spoken at night, in times of struggle, or for your family, these prayers declare that the name of Jesus is greater than any work of the enemy.
1. Standing on God’s Power
God alone is our strength and strong tower. He fights for His children and never loses a battle.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
—Psalm 27:1
Father, I come before You knowing that You are greater than anything in the world. I refuse to be afraid. You are my light and my rescue. Every dark power must bow at Your name. Let every hidden work of darkness around me be destroyed now. I trust in Your protection. Surround me with Your angels and cover me with Your blood. In You I am safe. Amen.
2. Breaking the Chains of Darkness
Chains of oppression are not always physical. Sometimes, they hide in patterns of fear, sickness, or confusion.
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
—John 8:36
Lord Jesus, I believe that You came to set me free. I reject every chain that tries to keep me bound—fear, confusion, torment, and every dark voice. Let Your light break through every place of darkness in my life. I declare freedom over my mind, my family, and my body. Every hidden trap is broken in Your name. Amen.
3. Destroying Evil Altars
Where evil has been established in secret, God’s power can bring it down completely.
“They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”
—Isaiah 61:3
Mighty God, every place where my name or my family has been spoken in darkness, I ask You to expose and destroy it. Every evil altar, every negative word, every curse spoken—I cancel it now. Let Your fire consume every wicked plan. I will not live in fear. I am Yours. Amen.
4. Calling on the Blood of Jesus
The blood of Jesus speaks louder than any curse or evil word. It cleanses, protects, and covers.
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
—Revelation 12:11
Jesus, I plead Your blood over my life. Let it speak mercy, protection, and victory. Every evil plan has no place in my life. Your blood covers my doorposts, my thoughts, and my family. I belong to You, and nothing can snatch me from Your hand. Amen.
5. Breaking Generational Influence
Some battles are old, passed down from generation to generation—but God’s truth breaks every cycle.
“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.”
—Galatians 3:13
Lord, I bring my family line before You. Wherever there have been patterns of fear, shame, loss, or failure passed down, I ask You to break them now. In You, I have a new beginning. I will not be held back by the past. Let every negative inheritance be destroyed and replaced with Your blessing. Amen.
6. Canceling Night Attacks
Dreams and sleepless nights can be a battlefield. God brings peace, even in sleep.
“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
—Psalm 4:8
Lord, I give You my nights. I reject every disturbing dream and spirit of fear. Let every attack in the night be silenced in Your name. Send Your angels to watch over me. I will sleep in peace because You are with me. My room is filled with Your presence. Amen.
7. Reversing Curses
Every curse can be reversed by the power of blessing and the authority of Christ.
“Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.”
—Proverbs 26:2
Heavenly Father, if any word or curse has been spoken over me, I reject it. I cancel its assignment by the name of Jesus. Let every curse be turned into a blessing. I receive only what You have spoken over me—life, peace, favor, and victory. Amen.
8. Casting Down Strongholds
Evil strongholds can hide in thoughts and beliefs. Truth tears them down.
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world… they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
—2 Corinthians 10:4
Lord, if I have believed any lies about myself or my future, I tear them down now. I will not believe that I am cursed, weak, or defeated. I choose Your truth. Tear down every stronghold in my mind. Let Your voice be louder than every other. Amen.
9. Rejecting Spiritual Confusion
Wherever there is confusion, God brings order and clarity.
“For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.”
—1 Corinthians 14:33
God, I ask You to bring peace to my heart and mind. I reject every spirit of confusion, every lie, and every cloud of fear. I choose clarity. Help me hear Your voice clearly and walk in Your truth. Confusion has no place in my life. Amen.

“No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper.”
—Isaiah 54:17
Lord, protect me from anyone sent to harm me. Let every evil plan be exposed and canceled. Remove every person, conversation, or action that is not from You. I cover myself with Your Word. I will walk in victory, not fear. Amen.
11. Covering the Home in Prayer
Our homes should be places of peace, not places where fear or darkness can hide.
“My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.”
—Isaiah 32:18
Father, I dedicate my home to You. Let Your presence fill every room. Remove every spirit that does not belong. Let the walls echo with peace and the air be filled with praise. Protect every door and window. No evil shall pass through. I declare this home a place of light, rest, and joy in Jesus’ name. Amen.
12. Severing Ungodly Connections
Sometimes, ties with the wrong people can open spiritual doors. These ties must be broken.
“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.”
—2 Corinthians 6:14
Lord, show me every friendship, relationship, or connection that is not from You. I don’t want anything that pulls me away from Your will. If there is someone sent to harm, confuse, or mislead me, remove them. Break every soul-tie that is not of You, and bind my heart to truth, peace, and purity. Amen.
13. Declaring Victory Over Fear
Fear is one of the enemy’s strongest weapons, but God gives power, love, and a sound mind.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
—2 Timothy 1:7
God, I reject fear. It doesn’t belong in my life. You have given me power, love, and a sound mind. I will not live in anxiety. I will not wake up scared. You are my defender, and I will walk boldly in Your peace. Thank You for strength that overcomes fear. Amen.
14. Breaking Patterns of Failure
When life feels stuck or always blocked, prayer can break the cycle and invite God’s breakthrough.
“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you.”
—Isaiah 55:12
Lord, every cycle of delay, rejection, and failure must stop. In Your name, I speak breakthrough over my life. Let what has been stuck begin to move. Let what was closed begin to open. Every force trying to keep me down is broken. I walk in Your blessing and favor. Amen.
15. Restoring the Mind
The enemy often attacks through thoughts—negative, fearful, or tormenting. God’s peace restores the mind.
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
—Isaiah 26:3
Father, I give You my mind. Take every dark thought, every lie, every worry. Replace it with peace. Let my thoughts be full of hope, truth, and faith. Wash away confusion and bring Your light. I choose to think on what is good, pure, and holy. Amen.
16. Protection for Children
Our children are precious and vulnerable. Covering them in prayer places them in God’s hands.
“All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.”
—Isaiah 54:13
Lord, I lift every child into Your arms. Cover them from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet. Keep them from every evil voice, touch, and trap. Let them grow in wisdom and favor. May they never walk in darkness. Surround them with angels day and night. Amen.
17. Closing Doors to the Enemy
Some doors open through disobedience, bitterness, or sin. Prayer invites God to close them and seal them shut.
“Do not give the devil a foothold.”
—Ephesians 4:27
Father, show me if I have left any doors open in my life—doors of anger, unforgiveness, jealousy, or pride. I ask for Your mercy. Help me close every access point the enemy has used. Cleanse my heart. Seal every door with the blood of Jesus. Amen.
18. Rebuking Tormenting Spirits
The enemy often uses torment to keep people afraid, discouraged, or trapped. God sets captives free.
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
—Psalm 46:1
Lord, I come against every spirit of torment—mental, emotional, spiritual. I declare peace over my soul. I will not be tormented by the past, by fear, or by lies. You are my help and my shelter. Every evil presence must go in Jesus’ name. I am free. Amen.
19. Praying for Discernment
Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s real. God gives discernment so we can walk in truth.
“But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”
—Hebrews 5:14
Father, give me sharp eyes and ears. Help me to know what is from You and what is not. Let me not be fooled or confused. Shine light on every hidden thing. Give me discernment so I can walk safely in Your will. Amen.
20. Declaring a Clean Atmosphere
The places we enter—homes, offices, rooms—should be covered in prayer. Atmosphere affects spirit.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
—2 Corinthians 3:17
Lord, I declare that wherever I go, Your Spirit will go with me. Let the air around me be filled with Your glory. Every space I enter must come under the authority of Jesus. Darkness has no welcome here. Let peace, light, and truth fill the atmosphere. Amen.
21. Rejecting Spiritual Manipulation
There are forces that try to control others through intimidation or spiritual deception. God’s truth sets people free.
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
—John 8:32
God, I reject every voice that tries to manipulate, control, or confuse me. I choose Your truth over every lie. Let every plan that tries to twist my thinking or influence my life without Your will be destroyed. Break every spiritual rope that isn’t from You. I am free in Jesus’ name. Amen.
22. Silencing Negative Words
Words carry power. Sometimes words spoken in anger or jealousy can become a curse—but God’s Word is stronger.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.”
—Isaiah 54:17
Lord, every word spoken against me—whether in gossip, slander, jealousy, or hidden anger—I cancel it in Your name. Let those words fall to the ground powerless. I speak life, not death. I speak truth, not lies. I speak blessing, not curse. My ears will only hear what You say. Amen.
23. Breaking Spells and Enchantments
God’s power is not afraid of any evil incantation or spoken ritual—it shatters them completely.
“There is no enchantment against Jacob, no divination against Israel.”
—Numbers 23:23
Mighty God, I cancel every spell or evil work spoken over me, my name, or my family. Let every enchantment be broken and reversed by the power in the name of Jesus. No dark whisper will prosper. My life belongs to You. I walk in light, not shadows. Amen.
24. Commanding Restoration
The enemy seeks to steal—but God is the restorer of all things. What was taken can be returned sevenfold.
“I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.”
—Joel 2:25
Father, everything I’ve lost—time, peace, joy, sleep, opportunity—I place in Your hands. You are the God of restoration. Let every thief be caught and made to return what was stolen. Bring back my joy, my purpose, and my peace. I trust You to restore me completely. Amen.
25. Covering Your Name
Sometimes names are used in dark places, spoken against in bitterness or envy. The name of a believer is protected under Christ.
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
—Proverbs 18:10
Lord, I place my name under Your protection. Wherever it is spoken—whether in love or in evil—let Your power cover me. No evil voice has permission to call on me or influence me. I belong to You. My name is written in Heaven, and I take refuge in You. Amen.
26. Asking for Angelic Protection
God assigns angels to protect and defend His people. They are real, and they are mighty.
“He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
—Psalm 91:11
Father, send Your angels around me. Let them stand at my doors, walk with me in public, surround my children, and protect my sleep. Let no evil pass their watch. I trust that Heaven fights for me, and I will rest in peace knowing I am not alone. Amen.
27. Dismantling Unseen Traps
The enemy sometimes places traps—through situations, people, or circumstances. God reveals and removes them.
“He rescues me from every trap and protects me from deadly disease.”
—Psalm 91:3
Lord, open my eyes to every hidden trap. If someone means me harm in secret, expose them. If there’s a situation being set to hurt me, cancel it. Let every snare break apart before I step into it. Go ahead of me and guide my steps around every danger. Amen.
28. Guarding the Mind from Witchcraft
The mind is the battlefield. Attacks come in the form of lies, doubt, confusion, or torment—but God guards the mind of His children.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
—Romans 12:2
God, renew my thoughts. Let Your Word be louder than any whisper of fear or failure. Remove every thought planted by darkness. I bind every spirit that tries to torment my mind. I receive clarity, joy, and peace from You. Amen.
29. Praying for Spiritual Boldness
God doesn’t want His children to hide in fear. We are called to stand with boldness and courage.
“The righteous are as bold as a lion.”
—Proverbs 28:1
Lord, I will not hide or bow in fear. I am a child of the King. Give me boldness in prayer, courage in conflict, and peace in chaos. Let Your fire burn in me. I speak boldly against darkness. I belong to You and I walk in holy authority. Amen.
30. Declaring the Enemy Powerless
The devil is already defeated. We are not fighting for victory—we are fighting from victory.
“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.”
—Romans 16:20
Jesus, thank You for defeating the enemy. Every trick, lie, attack, and fear he throws is already broken. I stand in Your victory. The enemy is under my feet. He will not win in my home, my health, or my future. I belong to the One who has already won. Amen.
31. Canceling Spiritual Exchange
The enemy sometimes attempts to trade blessings for burdens. We ask God to reverse every spiritual exchange.
“The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.”
—Proverbs 10:22
Father, if anything meant for me has been stolen or exchanged in the spirit, I ask You to restore it. Every good gift that was taken, every blessing that was delayed, bring it back. Let no one else take what You gave me. I claim my inheritance in Christ. Amen.
32. Declaring Your Identity in Christ
Spiritual attacks often begin with confusion about identity. God affirms who we are in Him.
“You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession.”
—1 Peter 2:9
Lord, I declare I am not a victim—I am chosen. I am not cursed—I am blessed. I am not forgotten—I am Yours. Remind me who I am in You. Let every false label fall off. I wear the name You gave me: loved, redeemed, protected. Amen.
33. Resting in God’s Authority
Peace comes when we recognize the unmatched authority of our God.
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
—Matthew 28:18
Jesus, all power belongs to You. No name is higher. No force is stronger. I rest under Your authority. I don’t fight alone—I fight under Your banner. You speak, and darkness flees. Thank You for giving me power in Your name. Amen.
34. Rejecting Monitoring Spirits
Some attacks happen through observation and constant monitoring—but God sees everything and stops every plan.
“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.”
—Proverbs 15:3
God, if any spirit is watching me to harm me, confuse me, or report back against me, cancel their plans. Let their vision be darkened and their schemes destroyed. You are my covering. Nothing hidden will succeed. I am hidden in Christ. Amen.
35. Resting in God’s Peace After Warfare
After the battle, there is peace. God gives rest—not just from danger, but from fear itself.
“The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”
—Psalm 29:11
Lord, thank You for fighting for me. Thank You for victory. I now rest in Your peace. Let Your Spirit fill my home and heart. The battle is over. I walk in freedom, love, and joy. No more fear. No more torment. Only peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
CONCLUSION
