Praying Against a Demon of Pornography – Part 4

If you’re dealing with depression, oppression (your feelings and emotions are being robbed of you), a porn demon, etc., it can be difficult to know what to pray. Reading through Psalms works if you’re fighting a demon of pornography, battling depression, etc., or you just don’t know what to say when you’re praying.

Starting on Chapter 51, 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 strangers, men, nations, enemy, wicked, and lions as demons.

Start out by saying “Jesus, I repent of all of my sins. Please help me with my prayers. Thank you.”
Psalm 51
¹Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
²Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
³For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
⁴Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.
⁵Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
⁶Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
⁷Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
⁸Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
⁹Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
¹⁰Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
¹¹Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
¹²Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
¹⁴Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Psalm 52
[Speaking to people who don’t repent and turn away from sins]
¹Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
²Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit.
³You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
⁴You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue!
⁵Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent.
⁸But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.
⁹I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
Psalm 53
¹The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
²God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
³Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Psalm 54
¹Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
²Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
³Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life — men without regard for God.
⁴Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
⁵Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
⁶I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.
⁷For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
Psalm 55
¹Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea;
²hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
³at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger.
⁴My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death assail me.
⁵Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.
⁶I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest —
⁷I would flee far away and stay in the desert;
⁸I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm.”
⁹Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech.
¹⁶But I call to God, and the Lord saves me.
¹⁷Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.
¹⁸He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many opposed me.
¹⁹God, who is enthroned forever, will hear them and afflict them.
²¹His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords.
²²Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
²³But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of corruption;
bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you.
Psalm 56
¹Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.
²My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.
³When I am afraid, I will trust in you.
⁴In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
⁵All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.
⁶They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life.
⁷On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
⁸Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll — are they not in your record?
⁹Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
¹⁰In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise —
¹¹in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
¹²I am under vows to you, O God; I will present my thank offerings to you.
¹³For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Psalm 57
¹Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
²I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
³He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends his love and his faithfulness.
⁴I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts — men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be all over the earth.
⁶They spread a net for my feet — I was bowed down in distress. they dug a pit in my path — but they have fallen into it themselves.
⁷My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.
⁸Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre. I will awaken the dawn.
⁹I will praise you, O Lord; I will sing of you among the peoples.
¹⁰For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
¹¹Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be all over the earth.
Psalm 58
⁶Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O Lord, the fangs of the lions.
⁷Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.
¹⁰The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Psalm 59
¹Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me.
²Deliver me from evil doers and save me from bloodthirsty men.
³See how they lie and wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, O Lord.
⁴I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight!
⁶They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.
⁷See what they spew from their mouths — they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, “Who can hear us?”
⁸But you, O Lord, laugh at them; you scoff at all those nations.
⁹O my Strength, I watch for you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
¹¹In your might make them wander about, and bring them down.
¹²For the sins of their mouths, for the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride. For the curses and lies they utter,
¹³consume them in wrath, consume them till they are no more.
¹⁴They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.
¹⁵They wander about for food and howl if not satisfied.
¹⁶But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
¹⁷O my strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.
Psalm 61
¹Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
²From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call is my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
³For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
⁴I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
⁵For you have heard my vows, O God.
Psalm 62
¹My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
²He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
⁵Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
⁸Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
¹¹One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,
¹²and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
Psalm 63
¹O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
²I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
³Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
⁴I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
⁵My soul will be satisfied as with the riches of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
⁶On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
⁷Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
⁸My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
⁹They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
¹⁰They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
¹¹All who swear by God’s name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
Psalm 64
¹Hear me, O God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
²Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from that noisy crowd of evil doers.
³They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.
⁴They shoot from ambush at the innocent man; they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.
⁵They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see them?”
⁶They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!”
⁷But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down.
⁸He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin.
¹⁰Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him!
Psalm 65
³When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions.
⁴Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.
⁵You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,
⁶who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength.
⁸Those living far away fear your wonders; where morning dawns and evening fades you call forth songs of joy.
