Chapter Ten

Breaking Curses and Soul Ties

Curses are contracts or requests to evil powers for injury or evil to befall someone or something. They can be spoken words, incantations, or prayers that invoke evil spirits to do their evil work.

A curse is also a ban or censure over a person, place or thing. This curse, ban, or censure can be the result of a sinful act or disobedience to God's law. Often curses are spoken by servants of Satan.”

Curses must be broken for worshipping other gods, occult practices, oaths to or in secret societies, sex with animals, illegitimate sex, illegitimate births, murder, not tithing, hating the Jews, etc.

Curses and vows placed on oneself and curses from servants of Satan have to be broken. Be sure to study Scripture to understand what activities bring curses on people. Many causes for curses are listed in the Bible. See Deut. 7:25-26 and Chapters 23; 27; 28; 30; Ex. 20:1-6; Mal. 3:8-9. These are a few references to curses in the Bible. The book, Blessings and Curses, by Derek Prince is an excellent book on curses. It can be purchased from any Christian book store.

Some curses come down a family line or blood line from generation to generation. A curse may be on a person or their children because a living or dead relative was involved in psychic or occult practices. This is true even if the person involved in the occult has been dead for two hundred or more years. Time does not affect curses.

Curses: Powered by Demons

Curses can cause all kinds of problems such as broken marriages, poverty, attachments of familiar spirits, sickness, cancer, degenerative diseases, sexual perversion, addictions, compulsions, violence, rebellion, mental problems, and torment.

People involved in the occult get angry and place curses on others. They speak words against a person to get even and bring hurt on that person. The victim may or may not know a curse has come against them. When a curse is placed on someone or something, a demon enters or is attached to them. The curse seals the demon in that person or place.

The good news is a curse will not land on a born again child of God who is walking in righteousness. In fact, it will go back and come upon the one who sent it. This may bring the planned devastation upon the sender.

Proverbs 26:2 refers to curses sent on innocent people without a cause. Curses are powered by demons. It is the demons that carry out the evil action of the curse, incantation, or spell, but if it comes there is a cause or reason.

Jesus came to make the captives free and gave His Church power over all power of the enemy. The servants of God can break curses and make people free in Jesus' name.

Captive’s Prayer for Breaking Curses, Spells, and Incantations

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You as Your child, born again, redeemed ,and washed in the blood of Jesus. I declare that You, Jesus, have redeemed me from the curse of the law having been made a curse for me at Calvary. I proclaim that I am a partaker of the inheritance of the saints of God. I give thanks unto You, Father, for delivering me from all the powers of darkness and translating me into the kingdom of your dear Son. As one who is covered with the blood of Jesus, I here and now reject and disown all the sins, pacts, dedications, curses and occult selections of my ancestors or any relatives, specifically (name of person(s) responsible for the curse, if known), which has been passed on to me intentionally or unintentionally.

In Jesus' name, Father, I ask to be redeemed and cleansed from all evil curses, incantations, dedications, spells, pacts, and familiar spirits passed on to me from my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, ancestors, relatives, or any other person, specifically (name of person(s) responsible, if known).

Father, I also ask to be redeemed and cleansed from all curses that have come upon me from what I have done or been involved in. I now appropriate in my life, Jesus’ death on the cross to free me from all curses. I REPENT and declare that I am totally committed and complete in my relationship to my Lord, Jesus Christ.

In the Name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I now rebuke, break and loose myself and all my children or children to be, from all evil curses, charms, vexes, hexes, spells, incantations, jinxes, psychic powers, bewitchments, pacts, dedications, or sorcery that have been put on me or my family line or by any other person or persons (person's name, if known) or from any occult, cultic, satanic or psychic source. I declare all these curses, dedications, or pacts null and void, in Jesus' name. I reject every way in which Satan may claim ownership of me. I reject every demon, evil spirit or familiar spirit sent to me by Satan or attached to any part of me because of these curses, dedications, pacts or my activities.

I command all these connected and related spirits to leave me now and never return, in Jesus' name.

I command you, Satan, to remove from me all satanic shields, seals, devises or mechanisms used to harass, manipulate, or control me in any way or attach and hold a familiar or demonic spirit to any part of me. I command you, Satan, to take them off now, and I command all these attached spirits to leave me now and never return, in Jesus' name. Father, in Jesus' name, I ask you to send your warrior angels to take all these evil and familiar spirits to their destiny.

Deliverance Worker’s Prayer For the Captive

After the captive has prayer, the deliverance worker should break curses off the captive by saying the following words:

In the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, as His servant, I now break ALL CURSES, spells or incantations off you, (person's full name), that have come down through your family or blood line, no matter how far back or from whatever source or reason.

I break all curses, spells, and incantations off you, (person's name), that have come upon you from other people praying against you, writing, or speaking curses against you.

I break all curses off you, (person's name), that have come upon you from what you have done or been involved in. I break the curse of (name the curses discovered during counsel), in Jesus' name. I break all curses off you, (person's name), in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

The deliverance worker should then take authority and command all spirits involved with those curses to leave in Jesus' name.

I now take authority, as a servant of God, and in the Name of Jesus, I bind all spirits that came in you or on you to enforce these curses and any familiar spirits attached to you. I break their hold on you and command all these spirits to leave now, in Jesus' name, and never to return.

Father, in Jesus' name, I ask you to send your angels to take these evil and familiar spirits to their destiny. Amen.

The person being ministered to continues and prays the following prayer.

I now ask You, Heavenly Father, to fill me with Your Holy Spirit and empower me to live above sin. I now submit my life and all to You. I determine to look to You, Heavenly Father, to provide all my needs.

I will not yield my body or any part of my body to any sinful practice or unrighteousness. I declare that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, an instrument of righteousness, a living, holy sacrifice, to glorify You, Father.

I ask You, Father to surround me with Your warrior angels, giving them charge over me to protect me in all my ways. Amen.

Soul Ties or Cords of Iniquity

Soul ties are ungodly bonds formed between the souls of people for the purpose of control, manipulation, or domination. This bondage can be from sexual sins, adultery, controlling parents, spouses, pastors, or friends. This can also be a psychic or telepathic link between the controller and other persons.

Some Christian workers say that this is a telepathic link between the person and the controller, which give the controller continual information about the person. Through this link, a controller can know everything about a person without ever visiting them. This is operated by a spirit of witchcraft and is demonic.

The bondage of control between people is easy to identify. These soul bonds or ties bind the souls together. It will have an influence on the person until it is broken. This evil control can continue even after they become Christians. It must be brought to the cross.

These soul ties will continue to pull people back into sin or bring them under the control of other people. Often a child is tied to a parent by an invisible, ungodly soul bond. This child will never be free to live a life of his own. He always relies on mother or father to make decisions or direct his life. This is like an invisible umbilical cord connecting the controller to the person.

Because of this psychic or telepathic link, the controller knows when the soul bond is threatened and will actively work to strengthen it. This may go on for generations. This is the use of soul power, and it is bondage. It is devilish and powered by demons. It will require the use of spiritual warfare by the minister and the captive to gain their freedom and to stay free.

God does not want us to dominate others. Neither does God want us to have control over our spirit or souls in any ungodly manner for our own pleasure or power. (See notes on astral projection). We are to renew our minds with God's Word and bring our will into submission to God and His laws. We are to exercise self-control over our minds, wills, and emotions. This is the way we take dominion over our flesh and crucify it.

Breaking Free From Soul Ties

To be free, it is necessary to cut these cords of iniquity or soul ties to the controlling person. This transfers the control back to the person who has been controlled. Every individual is responsible for guarding his mind and submitting to the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and God's laws for guidance.

The believer has the power to break these soul ties in Jesus' Name. The captive has to agree with breaking these ungodly bonds. Also, they may have to move away from the reach of the controller.

Take everyone through the following prayer. Renounce and command all demons or familiar spirits that make this control possible to leave in Jesus' name. Again, with familiar spirits, it may be wise to call upon the Father to send angels to take the familiar spirits to their destiny.

Captive’s Prayer to Break Soul Ties or Cords of Bondage

The captive should pray the following prayer first:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You, in Jesus' name, and acknowledge that You have commanded everyone to make a choice. I choose to repent for allowing any control or bondage in my life and ask to be forgiven.

I renounce all use of soul power. I renounce allowing myself to be controlled or manipulated in any way.

I loose myself from all control, soul bonding, bondage, slavery, or any spirits that have come from the controller, any sex partner in the past or by any person, specifically (name of person). I declare that Jesus has delivered me from bondage, and I am a child of Light and the Bride of Christ.

I now ask You, Lord Jesus, to make me free from these soul ties, soul bonds, or cords of iniquity between me and any sex partner of the past, or any other person or persons, specifically (name of person). I cancel and break this bonding and cords of iniquity permanently. I take back all rights to my body, to my soul, and to my spirit.

I reclaim all the parts of myself that were connected to the other person or sex partner of the past. I release all parts of the other person. I break any psychic or telepathic links between me and any other person, in Jesus' name. Father, if there should be any ungodly bonds between my soul and spirit, I now renounce them and break them, in Jesus' name.

I ask You, Father, to apply the Blood of Jesus to where these cords were connected so they can never be reconnected. I command all spirits that have come from the controller(s), or any demon that make these psychic or telepathic links operate, to leave me now and never return, in Jesus' name.

It is my desire to worship You, Heavenly Father, wholly in body, soul and spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Deliverance Worker then prays this prayer over the person who is bound:

I thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, that You came to make the captive free. You have commanded that Your disciples do likewise. As a disciple and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and one covered with His blood and seated with Him in the Heavenly realms, I take up the authority that He has given me.

I now declare that all the soul ties and cords of iniquity are broken off (person's name). (Person's name) is made free from all bondage. I declare that all cords of iniquity and ungodly bonds between (person's name) and any person or persons are cut.

I also declare that any ungodly bonds between your soul and spirit are cut. I come in agreement with (person's name) and command all the spirits from the controller(s) to leave now and never return, in Jesus' name. I command you (person's name) to walk by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, allowing God's control in your life. I declare this in the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Rule of the Victor Prayer

This is an excellent warfare prayer that will stop and remove demons being sent against you or your captive. This prayer was developed by the Rev. Leonard M. Anspach, Altoona, Pennsylvania.

This prayer is not intended to deal with personal demons present because of personal sins or generational curses in the family, but to knock out demonic spirits that are sent out by Satanists. This prayer is very effective when working with survivors of Satanic Ritual Abuse.

Statement of Rule of the Victor:

I exercise “Rule of the Victor” over all the regions that have set their will against (name of person), against those regions that have permitted spirits in or through their territory. I command that they be castrated from ever receiving power from darkness again. I require the immediate disbursement of all their funds from the kingdom of darkness in to the kingdom of light ( all the spoils of war), the immediate destruction of all their books (magical art & sorcery), and the immediate reversal of all their schemes. Penalties applied. To the pit!
