NOTE:  This prayer has been recorded TWICE, first for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating. 

 

It is written in Leviticus 20:4-5 (KJV):

[4] And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not: [5] Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

Though the people of Israel were charged with executing holy justice against the wicked, God made a pledge nonetheless that He would see to it that judgment would be given and executed, whether or not the people obeyed His voice. 

Exodus 15:1-8 contains the warfare victory prayer sung by the Hebrews, following their passage through the Red Sea. 

We bring together these and other passages from the scriptures together in a single warfare prayer. 

 

LEVITICUS 20 AND EXODUS 15 WARFARE PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we come before you now to ask you to go to war, by the power of your Holy Spirit and with your angels, to fight the battles that we cannot fight with our hands but only with praise, prayer, and petition to you, in the name of Jesus. 

We lift up in prayer those in the army of the enemy that may yet be saved. we pray for them as we would have them pray for us: that  you would send to them your Word and your Holy Spirit, to convict them of their sins and turn their hearts to your truth, Jesus Christ. 

We ask you to look upon the evil works of the enemy, and those of his spiritual agents, and of his reprobate human accomplices, and we ask you to give and execute judgment against them. 

Lord, you have commanded us, in Leviticus 20, not to hide our eyes from the wickedness of those who kill the innocent. We declare right now that we hide not our eyes from the evils of the reprobate who delight in evil. We call for the light of your Word, your son Jesus, and your Holy Spirit, to shine as a burning fire upon their dark and hidden deeds, to expose them before all the world and all of creation, that they might be judged and brought down by their own love of wickedness, so that all might see the manner of their destruction and know that it is by your hand that they have been removed, that all the world would see and know that you are a man of war, that there is a God who executes righteousness in the earth. 

According to your Word, Lord, we come now in prayer and petition before your throne of righteousness and judgment, against those:

who murder the innocent

who curse our leaders

who practice witchcraft and divination

who speak lying prophecies in your name

who use false weights and measures

who despitefully use the poor, the orphans, and the widows

who labor to prevent your little ones from hearing the truth of the gospel

who destroy the world to lift themselves up

We pray, according to Exodus 15:1-18*:

(*KJV: Note that the language of the Biblical text has been adjusted for the purposes of this prayer.):

[1] Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord , and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord , for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

[2] The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. 

[3] The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

[4] Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. 

[5] The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. 

[6] Thy right hand, O Lord , is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord , hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 

[7] And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. 

[8] And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 

[9] The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. 

[10] Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 

[11] Who is like unto thee, O Lord , among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 

[12] Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. 

[13] Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. 

[14] The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 

[15] Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. 

[16] Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord , till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. 

[17] Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord , which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. 

[18] The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
