42 MFM Warfare Prayer Points to Pray Before Facing Opposition Against Intimidation, Fear and Every Hindrance

Prayer Focus

To commit every opposition, resistance, intimidation, fear, obstacle, delay, discouragement, and legitimate challenge into the hands of God, asking for courage, wisdom, discernment, divine strength, favor, protection, perseverance, and victory according to God’s will.

Bible Exhortation

Opposition can appear when you are pursuing something important. It may come through difficult circumstances, resistance from people, unexpected obstacles, discouragement, delays, or fear.

The Bible does not teach believers to respond to opposition with panic or reckless aggression. Instead, Scripture calls us to stand firm in faith, seek wisdom, remain truthful, and act courageously.

When Nehemiah began rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall, opposition arose. His response combined prayer, planning, vigilance, courage, and diligent work.

Nehemiah 4:9 says:

“Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night.”

This is a powerful principle: pray and act wisely.

The Bible also says in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God has given us power, love, and a sound mind—not a spirit of fear.

Therefore, before facing opposition, strengthen yourself in God. Ask for wisdom rather than reacting impulsively. Identify legitimate obstacles, seek appropriate solutions, and refuse to let intimidation control your decisions.

May God give you courage to face what is before you and wisdom to overcome every legitimate hindrance.

Prophetic Illustration

Consider David facing Goliath.

Goliath used intimidation before the battle even began. His words were designed to create fear and make Israel’s army believe that victory was impossible.

David refused to allow intimidation to determine his response. He remembered God’s faithfulness, understood the situation, and stepped forward with courage.

Another example is Nehemiah, who faced opposition, ridicule, threats, and attempts to distract him from his assignment.

Nehemiah did not abandon the work because of opposition.

Prophetic picture: May God strengthen you wherever intimidation has weakened your confidence. May He give you wisdom to distinguish genuine danger from fear, discernment to recognize legitimate obstacles, and courage to take appropriate action.
