The Holy Spirit Himself will move very powerfully against these demons if you start quoting these kinds of battle verses directly against them.

I will break these specific battle verses down under 5 separate captions so you can easily pick and choose which ones you will want to use, depending on exactly what you are dealing with on your own end.

There are a total of 80 of these verses, and they will cover any kind of situation you could find yourself facing with demonic spirits.

1. Satan and His Demons Have Already Been Defeated by Jesus at the Cross

The very first thing you will need to know is that Satan, his demons, and all of their supernatural powers have been totally defeated by Jesus when He died on the cross for all of us.

Here are 6 extremely powerful verses that you will need to have underneath your belt if you are ever forced to have to deal with any kind of a direct demonic attack – either against yourself or anyone else you may know.

Demons hate, and I mean hate, every single one of these verses, as they are all a constant reminder to each and everyone of them that they are all defeated and that they have no chance against any true, born-again Christian who knows who they really are in Jesus Christ, who knows how to wield the Sword of the Holy Spirit, and who knows how to walk with the anointing that God can flow through them.

• “… that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” (Hebrews 2:14)
• “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13)
• “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” (Colossians 2:15)
• “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8)
• “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” (Revelation 12:11)
• “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.Therefore God has also highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and of those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:5-11)

Notice these 4 key phrases:

• Jesus fully destroyed the devil and all of his works through His death on the cross
• Jesus has fully delivered us from the power of darkness
• Jesus has fully disarmed principalities and powers
• That every knee shall bow to Jesus, including those who under the earth, which are demons

These extremely powerful statements being made to all of us by God through His Holy Word are all full and final.

And this will now lead us right to the next section, which will show us that Jesus Christ Himself has now given us His full authority and His full power to be able to cast demons out of people.

2. Jesus Has Given Us His Authority and Power to Cast Out Demons

When you read all of these verses, one right after the other, you get the message loud and clear that God really does want to anoint all of us for battle and not to be afraid of it once He starts to do it with each one of us. The very last verse says it all when it tells us that God wants to fully arm us for battle, and then goes as far as to tell us exactly what He wants to arm us with.

3. God Will Fight For You

These next set of verses will show us how God Himself will come to our aid and help us fight our battles when the enemy is coming directly after us. And sometimes that enemy will be real, live, demonic spirits.

The first two verses are major, and I mean major power verses, as they will show us that not only is our God a powerful Man of War, but that He can actually be stirred up to go into battle for us. And if God is for us and will help fight our battles for us, then who could possibly be against us – including any demonic spirits who may try and come against us.

Here are 24 major power verses that you can use against any demons who may attempt to come directly against you in this life. These verses again, will put the absolute fear of God into these demons, and they will help drive them off you or anyone else you may be trying to deliver from their evil grip.

•  “The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name … Your Right Hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power; Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy in pieces.

• “He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. For by strength no man shall prevail.

4. God Will Dry Up the Waters of the Enemy

One of the strategies I will be talking about in an upcoming article is how God will dry up the waters of the enemy. Waters are very important to both God and demons in the spiritual realm.

In reference to the Holy Spirit, Jesus tells us in John 7:38 that out of our heart will flow rivers of living water. And the Word of God itself is compared to water in Ephesians 5:26, where it says that “with the washing of water by the word.”

In the same way, demons are also looking for water in which to feed and drink from in the spiritual realm. The verse that gives us this key piece of revelation is found in Matthew 12:43. This verse says that when demons leave a person they had been in, they go through “dry places,” and “seeking rest,” they find “none.” Here is this direct verse:

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.” (Matthew 12:43)

Notice that these demons are not finding rest in the dry places they are going through after they had just left a person. If they are not finding rest in those dry places, then that tells you they do not like dry places. And if they do not like dry places, then that tells you they like places that will give them some kind of water.

And once they enter into a person because of the appropriate legal rights being given to them, they will then start to feed and drink from the water that is already on the inside of the person. And what is the water they are drinking from on the inside of that person?

It is the legal rights that allowed them entrance into this person in the first place. This is why once you break all of their legal rights, you will dry up all of their waters. And once you dry up all of their waters, you will severely weaken them and they will have nothing else left to be able to feed and drink from.

Weaken the demons with these kinds of additional strategies, and they will then be much easier to cast out once you start to directly engage with them.

Here are some verses from back in the OT that will show you that this was one of the warfare strategies that God the Father used from time to time against some of the enemies that Israel had to face.

•  “A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is the land of carved images, and they are insane with their idols.” (Jeremiah 50:38)
• “Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will plead your case and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry. Babylon shall become a heap, a dwelling place for jackals, an astonishment and a hissing, without an inhabitant.” (Jeremiah 51:36-37)
• “The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and dried up. The rivers will turn foul, and the brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up; the reeds and rushes will wither.” (Isaiah 19:5-6)
• “The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Basham and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.” (Nahum 1:3-4)
• “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” (Matthew 12: 43-45)

This particular strategy will be talked about in more depth in an upcoming heavy article on how to cast out demons who are on the inside of a person.

5. Battle Angels Will Help Protect Us and Fight for Us

Not only will God Himself help fight our battles for us, especially against demonic spirits, but these next set of verses will show us that His battle angels will also help protect us and fight for us when needed.

As such, you can simply ask God to station these battle angels around you when you get ready to directly engage with any demons who may be trying to come against you. These war angels will not only come to help protect you, but at times they can also war directly against the demons themselves – all on your behalf.

• “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.” (Psalm 34:7)
• “For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.” (Psalm 91:11)
• “And let the angel of the Lord chase him … And let the angel of the Lord pursue them … Let the destruction come upon him unexpectedly.” (Psalm 35:5-8)
• “Behold, I sent an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.” (Exodus 23:20)
• “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14)
• “For Satan himself transforms himself into an ANGEL OF LIGHT. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)
• “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, BUT TEST THE SPIRITS, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” (1 John 4:1-4)

The last two verses will help warn us that Satan and his demons can try and come to us acting like they are one of God’s angels. If an angel were all of a sudden to ever appear to you, you have to properly test him to make sure that he is one of God’s angels.

The way you do it is by asking him to confess out to you that Jesus Christ has already come to our earth in the flesh. A demon will not be able to make that kind of a confession to you. If the angel fails this test, then just command it to immediately leave you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Conclusion

Again, we cannot emphasize strongly enough how powerful all of these battle verses are when having to deal direct with any kind of demonic spirits. Jesus has already totally defeated Satan and all of his demons at the cross. All of these battle verses are a constant reminder to every single demon who is still roaming in the air that they are already defeated.

By using these types of battle verses against demons, you will show them the following three things:

• That you mean serious business with them
• That you know who you really are in Jesus Christ
• And that they will be no match against you if they try to stay and fight – as you will have both the Word of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, and some of God’s battle angels by your side to be able to fight directly against them and totally defeat them

Again, these battle verses will give you all of the major live ammunition that you will ever need to be able to totally defeat any demons who may ever come your way in this life.

Remember, it is the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit moving against the demons that will drive them out of whatever situation you are currently dealing with.

Also, if you would like to draw up your own personal battle prayer like we have done in many of our testimonies, you can just simply cut and paste which battle verses you would like to use on a word document, and then form out your own personal battle prayer so you can directly engage with them.
