Praying Against a Demon of Pornography – Part 9

If you’re dealing with temptation, depression, oppression (your feelings and emotions are being robbed of you), etc., it can be difficult to know what to say when you’re praying. Reading through Psalms works if you’re fighting a demon of pornography, battling depression, and so on.

Starting on Psalm 113, below are specific scriptures taken from Psalms that directly relate to fighting ALL demonic spirits.

You can do this yourself while reading through the whole book of Psalms, just like I did when I listed the scriptures below, just skip the ones that don’t pertain to your personal prayers.

When you say these scriptures, don’t just say them, pray them.

If you start reading (praying) and it feels like you don’t want to continue, PUSH through it.

Refer to nations, rulers, men, man, persecutors, and evildoers as demons.

Start out by saying, “Jesus, I repent of all of my sins. Please help me with my prayers. Thank you.”
Psalm 113
¹Praise the Lord. Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.
²Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore.
³From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
⁴The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
⁵Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
⁶who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth.
⁷He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
⁸he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people.
⁹He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord.
Psalm 115
¹Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
²Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?”
³Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
⁴But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
⁵They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
⁶they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
⁷they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
⁸Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
⁹O house of Israel, trust in the Lord — he is their help and shield.
¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord — he is their help and shield.
¹¹You who fear him, trust in the Lord — he is their help and shield.
¹²The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,
¹³he will bless those who fear the Lord — small and great alike.
¹⁴May the Lord make you increase, both you and your children.
¹⁵May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
¹⁶The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to man.
¹⁷It is not the dead who praise the Lord, those who go down to silence;
¹⁸it is we who extol the Lord, both now and forevermore. Praise the Lord.
Psalm 116
¹I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
²Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
³The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.
⁴Then I called on the name of the Lord; “O Lord, save me!”
⁵The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
⁶The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me.
⁷Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you.
⁸For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
⁹that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
¹⁰I believed; therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
¹²How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?
¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
¹⁴I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
¹⁶O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant; you have freed me from my chains.
¹⁷I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord.
¹⁸I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,
¹⁹in the courts of the house of the Lord — in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
Psalm 117
¹Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples.
²For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord.
Psalm 118
¹Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
²Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.”
³Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.”
⁴Let those who fear the Lord say: “His love endures forever.”
⁵In my anguish I cried to the Lord, and he answered by setting me free.
⁶The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
⁷The Lord is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.
⁸It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
⁹It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
¹⁰All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them off.
¹¹They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the Lord I cut them off.
¹²They swarmed around me like bees, but they died out as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off.
¹³I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.
¹⁴The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.
¹⁵Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: “The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!
¹⁶The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”
¹⁷I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done.
¹⁸The Lord has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.
¹⁹Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
²⁰This is the gate of the Lord through with which the righteous may enter.
²¹I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.
²⁴This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
²⁵O Lord, save us; O Lord, grant us success.
²⁶Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
²⁷The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine upon us.
²⁸You are my God, and I will give you thanks; you are my God, and I will exalt you.
²⁹Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 119
¹Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
²Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.
³They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways.
⁴You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.

⁶Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.
⁷I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.
