One of the greatest tools of the enemy working against both those inside the church and those outside the church is pornography. When God created Adam and Eve, they were both naked, and they felt no shame (Genesis 2:25).* Things changed after the first sin, and sin has led to the distortion and exploitation of that which God designed as beautiful and perfect. The enemy has chosen to make war against thee who is made in the image of God. One of the greatest tools used to cripple the livelihood, wellbeing, and brains of human beings globally is pornography. This is a war, and the church must rise up to defend victims, marriages, families, individuals, and the human brain; while also standing to fight against individual addictions, marital addictions, filmmakers, and industries. This includes internet sites and the misuse of social media. Finally, we will briefly pray against clubs with nudity, prostitution, and sex trafficking. 

-Father, Son, Holy Spirit, we approach your throne with grace and humility. We acknowledge that we are to be still and know that you are God. We acknowledge that you will be exalted in the nations, that you will be exalted in the earth. We submit to your Lordship as we intercede over the war of pornography. 

-God, we pray that you would defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; that you would maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Father rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. We pray for the children around the world who are victims or at risk of being victims of pornography, sexual and physical abuse, and exploitation. God, we pray for angelic assignments to be placed over your creation around the world whose rights are at risk or are currently being violated. We pray for these children to come under the shadow of your wings God Almighty! Holy Spirit, we pray that you would convict this world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness, and judgment. Help the guilty to be convicted of their sins towards your precious creation, and we pray that they would repent of their sins and find salvation in the name of Jesus Christ. God we pray for these children to know you and to be covered by your atoning blood Jesus. We pray for emotional, mental, and physical healing over their bodies and brains. Father, we pray for freedom from the bondage of the enemy. God, help our world train children in the way they should go, so that when they are old they will not turn from it.**   

-Father, we pray for every victim around the world who is at risk or is currently being exploited through pornography, prostitution, or sexual exploitation. We pray for freedom in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach. We pray for emotional, mental, and physical chains to be destroyed in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray for healing over their minds and bodies. We pray over the individuals who exploit your creation to be convicted of guilt in regards to sin and righteousness, and judgment.*** Holy Spirit, we pray that you would not relent on their hearts until they fully repent from their sins. Help them to receive your free gift of grace Jesus. 

-Yeshua, we pray over the sanctity of marriage in our world today. We pray for every relationship that is under attack through pornography, prostitution, and the exploitation of others. We pray that husbands and wives would individually and collectively find support, wisdom, and freedom from their sins. Jesus, we pray that individuals and couples would seek freedom from their bondage through your name under the covenant of your blood. We pray that the sins of parents would not trickle down to the children, and that children would not repeat the struggles of their parents.   

-Father, we pray for the gathering of your bride globally and we pray for your grace as the church spearheads the war on pornography.  God we pray for individuals struggling in this area to recognize that their body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in them, who is from God. Jesus, we pray that communities would be non-judgmental but accountable, with a longing for repentance from pornography addictions, lust, and immoral behaviors. Jesus, we pray for a deeper longing for your body to engage in your word, and for your word to wash over the sins that plague their mind. We pray that your word would shatter the bondage set forth by the enemy of God. We pray over your body and ask that they would say no to ungodliness and worldly passions. We pray that your bride would live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age. Father, we pray for those in the body of Christ who have fallen to sexual immorality to repent and find healing and restoration in the mighty name of Jesus.****    

-Holy Spirit, we pray that you would convict this world of guilt in regards to sin, righteousness, and judgment. God we pray over individual struggles involving pornography, lust, masturbation, and those trading for or purchasing sex. Holy Spirit, move as you do to present grace and freedom through the son Jesus Christ. Help individuals receive freedom from their bondage through the blood of Jesus Christ.

-Holy Spirit we pray over filmmakers, industries, groups, individuals, pimps, recruiters, business leaders, and everyone else who is found guilty in the business of exploiting your creation. We pray that each individual would be convicted of guilt in regards to sin, righteousness, and judgment. We pray that you would pull the blinders from their eyes so they can see the true works of their hands. Father, Let your word be like fire, my Lord, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces. We pray for repentance for each individual guilty of these sins to fully repent from their ways and give their lives to you Jesus. We pray that you Jesus would pour out immeasurable grace and mercy to break the strongholds in their lives. Release freedom in their lives. Father, if one chooses to harden their heart and not repent, we pray that you would do what is necessary for the hope of salvation to come to fruition in their lives.*****
