21 MFM Warfare Prayer Points Against the Spirit of Arguments, Contentions and Every Spirit of Strife
1. Prayer Focus
Prayer Focus: To confront every pattern of destructive arguments, contentions, quarrels, hostility, provocation, division, bitterness, and strife working against peace, unity, progress, relationships, family, ministry, workplace, and destiny.
This prayer session focuses on:
- Breaking destructive cycles of quarrelling.
- Rejecting unnecessary contention and hostility.
- Silencing divisive influences.
- Destroying patterns of bitterness and unforgiveness.
- Receiving wisdom to avoid destructive conflicts.
- Restoring peace and healthy communication.
- Establishing godly order in relationships.

2. Bible Exhortation
The Bible repeatedly warns against the destructive nature of strife. Proverbs 17:14 teaches that the beginning of contention should be stopped before it grows into a destructive conflict. Proverbs 15:1 also reminds us that a soft answer can turn away wrath.
As believers, we are called to pursue peace without compromising truth or righteousness. Not every argument deserves a response, and not every provocation should receive retaliation.
The enemy can exploit anger, pride, misunderstanding, unforgiveness, and careless words to create division. Therefore, spiritual warfare against strife should be accompanied by humility, wisdom, forgiveness, self-control, truthful communication, and a commitment to peace.
