For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. [2 Corinthians 10:3-5]
Father, please use us to defeat the power of the evil one, his demonic horde, and his corrupting influence on the lives of people we love and in the leaders of this world. We rebuke the evil one in the name of Jesus and by the power of the blood of the cross and in the empty tomb of the resurrection, where we find our deliverance and victory. Amen.
