Protection Prayers
When reciting "militant warfare prayers", it is important to precede them with appropriate prayers for protection to avoid retaliation from the "enemy".
Included below are a few examples.
NOTE: When you see "IJN" it means "In Jesus' name". When you see "ITNOJ" is means "In the name of Jesus".
************************************************
Covering Yourself With The Blood Of Jesus
"I cover myself with the Blood of Jesus, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet IJN"
Putting On The Armor Of God
"I put on the full Armor of God according to Ephesians 6. I put on my helmet of salvation, my breastplate of righteousness, I gird myself with the belt of truth, I shod my feet with the sandals of the gospel of peace, I pick up my sword of the spirit, and I raise my sheild of faith IJN.
Raise Your Sheild Of Faith
"I raise my sheild of faith between myself and (whatever is attacking you) IJN". Say it 3x
Ring Of Holy Spirit Fire
"Heavenly Father, please create a ring of Holy Spirit fire that surround me on every side and follows me wherever I go today, and I ask you to be the glory in my midst IJN."
Destroy Every Tactic Of The Devil
"Heavenly Father, please release sufficient numbers of Your holy giant warrior angels armed with swords of Holy Spirit fire to attack, bind, and destroy every tactic of the devil, seen and unseen, known and unknown, and to have those angels spring every trap the devil has set for me today IJN."
The Umbrellino Prayer
(From the Official Rite of Exorcism)
Lord Jesus Christ, Sovereign King enthroned in Heaven, in your love and mercy establish a perimeter of protection with Your Most Precious Blood around myself and (insert names here), our families, loved ones, those we cherish, and our possessions, blocking the empowerment of Satan, any curses or any other demonic enthronement, abominations in Your sight. I beseech You to create around me and (insert names here) a sanctuary of your mercy where Satan and any other evil spirit or human agency cannot empower or aid in any way, the demons present here, rendering them deaf, dumb, and blind, unable to communicate or receive any empowerment from any other evil spirit by isolating them from each other; that You would strip them of all weapons, armor, power, illusions and authority; that You would bind, rebuke and disable them from communicating or interacting with each other in any way. We ask (OPTIONAL: the Blessed Virgin Mary, enthroned as Queen of Heaven and earth, Mother of the Church, the Sorrowful Mother, Virgin Most Powerful and) St. Michael the Archangel, to send down the legions of angels under their command to block, bind and withhold any demons, whether it is Satan or any of his minions, from supporting, aiding or communicating with the demons present in and around us, destroying any ability of these to fortify their stronghold, lengthen their stay or strengthen their ability to attack or hide. We ask this in Your Most Holy Name, the Name before which every knee shall bow, in heaven, on the earth and under the earth. Amen.
