9 Worship Songs for Spiritual Warfare & Breakthrough

Some Sundays you can feel it in the room. People walked in carrying fear, anxiety, spiritual heaviness, or a sense of battle they cannot quite name.

Spiritual warfare songs give your church language to declare truth, cling to the victory of the cross, and invite God’s breakthrough in very real situations.

This list highlights worship songs that help your congregation fight from a place of faith – not fear – and sing boldly about who God is in the middle of the battle.
