The battle between good and evil is as old as time itself. Since the fall of man, darkness has tried to oppose the will of God, but the Bible makes it clear that evil will never prevail against the light. As children of God, we are not helpless against evil. We are equipped with spiritual weapons, divine authority, and the Word of God, which is sharper than any two-edged sword. Through prayer, faith, and obedience, we can stand against every scheme of the enemy.
The works of the devil are many: lies, destruction, fear, temptation, sickness, division, and death. But Scripture teaches that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. His victory on the cross broke the power of sin and gave us the right to walk in freedom, peace, and authority. We are not victims. We are more than conquerors through Christ, and we have the power to bind, rebuke, cast down, and destroy anything that stands against God’s truth in our lives.
In seasons of spiritual warfare, these verses will serve as weapons of light. They will remind you that you are not alone, that victory is assured, and that evil must flee at the name of Jesus. Let the Word stir your faith and embolden your prayers as you declare God’s dominion over every evil work in your life and household.

Our Thoughts On What the Bible Says About Destroying Evil Works
The Bible is clear that we are not left defenseless in the face of evil. God has given us His Spirit, His promises, and His Word to stand strong. Evil may rise, but it can never overcome those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Every verse in this list is a weapon in the hand of a believer, reminding us that the battle is not ours but God’s. He promises to deliver, protect, and crush every force that dares to oppose His children.
As believers, we must actively stand on these Scriptures, pray with boldness, and resist darkness with the authority Christ has given us. Evil schemes, curses, and demonic strongholds have no power when confronted with the truth of God’s Word. Use these verses not just as comfort but as declarations in spiritual warfare. Speak them in faith, pray them with fire, and believe that victory is already yours in Jesus’ name.
Say This Prayer

I break every chain, cast down every stronghold, and stand in victory by the blood of Jesus. Strengthen my spirit and guide me in truth. Let Your Word be my sword, and Your Spirit my strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
