Prayer against witchcraft Bible verse

          Witchcraft is one of the oldest forms of demonic manipulation and satanic oppression recorded in Scripture. Its root is rebellion against God (1 Samuel 15:23), and its goal is to control, destroy, or divert a person’s life away from God’s purpose.

But the good news is this: God’s Word is a weapon of victory over every form of witchcraft.

          In this teaching, we’ll focus on Isaiah 54:17 as our central battle cry, and add other Spirit-filled scriptures you can pray with to dismantle the works of darkness.

1. The Anchor Verse: Isaiah 54:17

    “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

    This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

          Why is it powerful against witchcraft:

● “No weapon” includes charms, incantations, curses, evil decrees, astral projections, or spiritual attacks.

● “Shall prosper” means that they may be launched, but they will fail.

● “Every tongue” speaks to verbal spells or evil pronouncements from witches and sorcerers.

● “Heritage of the servants of the Lord” means protection is part of your divine inheritance as a child of God.

Prayer:

    Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree that every weapon of witchcraft fashioned against me and my household is rendered powerless.

    I condemn every evil word, every curse, and every spell spoken against my life. My heritage in You is victory, and I receive it now, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

2. Exodus 22:18

    “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Spiritual meaning:

          This Old Testament law reveals how seriously God treats witchcraft—it is not to be tolerated. In the new covenant, we don’t kill people, but we destroy the works of darkness operating through them.

Prayer:

    Lord, I agree with Your Word—witchcraft has no place in my life, my family, or my environment.

    I command every operation of witchcraft against me to cease now.

Every evil altar speaking against me is silenced by the blood of Jesus.

3. Psalm 91:5–6

    “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

    Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Why it matters in warfare:

          Witchcraft often operates through night terrors, spiritual arrows, and hidden attacks.

          This scripture gives you confidence to reject fear and claim God’s covering.

Prayer:

    Father, I reject fear in the name of Jesus.

Every arrow of witchcraft fired at me in the day or night is broken and returned to sender.

    I dwell under Your shadow, and no power of darkness can touch me.

4. Numbers 23:23

    “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel…

Revelation for victory:

          If you are in Christ, you belong to the spiritual Israel. This means no charm, spell, or divination can succeed against you.

Prayer:

    Lord, I stand in Your covenant—no enchantment or divination can work against me.

    Every satanic spell is broken, and I walk in freedom and blessing, in Jesus’ name.

5. Psalm 27:1–2

    “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

    When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Victory assurance:

          Witchcraft operates through fear and intimidation. This verse restores your boldness, reminding you that the enemy’s plans will backfire.

Prayer:

    Father, You are my light and my salvation; I refuse to fear witchcraft or its agents.  Let every evil plan against me stumble and fall, in Jesus’ name.

6. 2 Thessalonians 3:3

    “But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

Faith-building truth:

          God’s faithfulness is a shield. He will not only protect you from witchcraft attacks but also establish your life in stability and peace.

Prayer:

    Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness.

Keep me, my family, and all that concerns me from every form of evil manipulation and spiritual attack.

7. Luke 10:19

    “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Spiritual authority:

          Jesus gave you authority (Greek: exousia) over all the power of witchcraft, sorcery, and the occult.

Prayer:

    I exercise my authority in Christ over all powers of witchcraft.

    I trample upon every demonic serpent and scorpion sent against me, and nothing shall hurt me, in Jesus’ name.

8. Colossians 2:14–15

    “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us… and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Why this is a final blow:

          At the cross, Jesus disarmed witchcraft powers. Every legal ground they claim is cancelled by His blood.

Prayer:

    By the blood of Jesus, I blot out every legal right or covenant that witchcraft powers claim over my life.

    I declare that I am free, redeemed, and victorious in Christ.

How to Pray These Verses Effectively

1. Pray aloud – Witchcraft often works through spoken words, so your declarations must be vocal.

2. Use the name of Jesus – All authority in heaven and earth is in His name (Philippians 2:9–11).

3. Apply the blood of Jesus – Revelation 12:11 says we overcome by the blood of the Lamb.

4. Pray persistently – Warfare is not always one-time; pray until peace and victory manifest.

          Witchcraft is real, but it is defeated in Christ. When you stand on God’s Word, you are not fighting for victory—you are fighting from victory already won on the cross.

          Remember:

● Witchcraft cannot operate without fear.

● You are seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).

● The Word of God in your mouth is a spiritual sword (Ephesians 6:17).

          So lift your voice, declare these scriptures, and watch the power of God dismantle every satanic plan against your life.

Benefits of praying at 12 midnight

  We all already know that there are evil activities that take place at midnight, and our safety lies in the power of our prayers. Since the kingdom of darkness operates at midnight, it is our duty as Christians to also stay awake to wage war against their schemes in our lives, destinies, and everything that concerns us.    The enemy can operate at any time; that is why the word of God urged us to stay vigilant at all times because our enemy, the devil, is never tired of trying to harm us. 1 peter 5:8   We will be discussing the benefits of midnight prayer. Prayer should be part of our daily lifestyle because, in the Bible, we are instructed to pray without season according to 1 Thessalonians 5:17    So, the reason for the midnight prayer is that it is the time evil is at work, and to pray at that time is to avert those evil activities from having any effect on our lives.    Acts 16:22-40 revealed the benefit of midnight prayer when Paul and Silas...
