Chapter 18

Danger: Backlash!

Some of the information in this section is comprised of excerpts from Win Worley’s book, Diary of an Exorcist. If you are an active Deliverance Worker, please read this:

As hornets will attack anyone who disturbs their nest, so demons will viciously attack those who dare to invade the kingdom of Satan to free the captives. This is not stated to frighten or dismay but a sober word of warning and caution.

Engaging with the powers of the spirit world is not a game; it is a deadly serious undertaking. We have learned the hard way about the danger from malevolent demon spirits to the workers, physically, mentally and spiritually.

It is most foolhardy to underestimate the foe and his ability to counterattack. And counter-attack he will! The severity of his blows will be proportionate to the damage inflicted upon his forces by the awakened believers. The more damage that is dealt to the kingdom of the prince of this world, the more severe you may expect his efforts at retaliation to be.

Keep in mind that the fighting that takes place in this contest will not be fought according to any rules with which you are likely to be familiar. Satan will stoop to any tactic to repel you and other workers who come against him and his kingdom. He is the original rule breaker, and he will not hesitate to exploit any weakness you have. No slackness in your spiritual life will be overlooked in his effort to gain some advantage over you.

All-Out Total Warfare

Remember the example of Elijah who engaged in warfare at a high level against the ruling powers of darkness. He came to the absolute peak of victory over the false prophets on Mount Carmel, putting them to open shame. A short time later he was so totally demoralized by a threat from Jezebel that he prayed to die! (See 1Kings 19:1-4.)

If we are not careful, while we are praising and thanking God for victory, Satan will slip in upon us (by the working of his hosts) and seek to deal dreadful and hurtful blows to body, mind, or spirit. These can reduce our rejoicing to shambles in short order.

In this battle, no quarter is asked or given. It is all -out, total warfare. Woe to the unprepared. There are not standoffs or ties, you either win or lose. You either overcome or are overcome.

Christians have thoroughly adequate protection available, but they are sometimes unfamiliar with the power available to them and how to effectively appropriate it. Enemy forces know all about the power they possess and how to extract the maximum advantage from it. They will try to seize on our every weakness, ignorance ,or carelessness to their interest.

Workers must not be frightened off by fiery trials for they are certain to come (1Pet. 4:12). We are promised blessings with persecutions (Mark 10:30).

All of the raging mischief and overt hatred of the enemy is a sure sign that his interests are being seriously affected and overthrown. Yet, in the beginning, especially, the recoil and counter attacks of the devil and his hosts can seem to be terribly harsh.

Lucifer is a firm believer that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. He responds quickly to the first evidence of any real attack on his evil kingdom. In concept, he would believe in shooting a plane while it is taxiing or attempting to take off, rather than waiting until it is airborne.

Borne Upon the Wind

We venture into this kind of work by being borne along by the power of the Holy Spirit (Greek, Haggais Pneumos—Holy Wind) and we are lifted far above the limitations of our human flesh and frailties. We go aloft as eagles do—borne upon the wind.

Away with the foolish pride and the self sufficiency of mere mortal men. It will not avail here. Only spiritually enlightened minds and humble hearts, filled with God-given compassion for the tormented captives, can hope to stand before the rage of this crafty and virulent foe.

When you begin to cast out demons, there will be severe repercussions as Satan mounts the offensive, seeking any vulnerable areas in the total being of the believer. If personal harassment will not deter the believer from pursuing spiritual warfare, the devil will broaden the scope of his offensive and will attack through your family and other professing believers.

Weird Attacks

When we first launched into casting out demons, myself, my family, and our church workers who became involved in deliverance were all subjected to severe, repeated, and bizarre attacks. In fact, we still have weird attacks, periodically:

Apparitions, physical pains and sickness, the sound of footsteps, nightmares while awake as well as during sleep. Black figures bounding all over the bed pummeling you, ghostly hands touching; voices whispering, panting hot breath on the face; waves of icy air moving across and around you; growling, roaring, snorting, bellowing, and so forth.

I do not exaggerate. All of these and more have been used in Satan's program of harassment. Cold, raw terror to induce fear is one of his favorite approaches. Fear throws a person of balance, paralyzes his defenses, and makes him more susceptible to other attacks. This fear does not come from the Lord but from the devil for the Bible declares, “God has not given us the spirit of fear” (2Tim. 1:7).

Dreams can be divine, in which the person is left normal, calm, quiet, reasonable, and with an open, clear mind. Satanic dreams are noted for their mystery, absurdity, emptiness, and folly, leaving the person elated or dazed, confused, and unreasonable.

Sleeplessness, too, can be a source of distress. Insomnia may be the work of evil spirits, adapting their workings to the overwrought condition of the person, so as to hide their attacks under cover. Believers who are open to the supernatural world should specially guard their nights by prayer.”

Going on the Offensive

If any of this happens, you must calmly —even with hair prickling on your neck and chills coursing through your body — you must take the offensive, using the name of Jesus as your combination shield and battering ram.

Pray and praise Him for His blood, eternal life, salvation full and free, and claim His protection from the hosts of darkness.

Rebuke Satan and his hosts and take authority over them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as a believer priest and king. (Rev. 1:6; 5:10).

Command the spirits to leave you, (1John 4:4). You may have to repeat this several times.

Be persistent. They will be reluctant to obey. They also sometimes linger to see if you really believe what you are saying, or if you really mean it?

I have awakened, usually between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. to find myself held in a vice-like grip by icy hands, feet, mouth, and throat all held tightly that I could neither move nor make a sound. I assure you that I was not dreaming but was wide awake. My body prickled with fear from head to toe.

One rule you must follow: Never panic. Refuse to stampede.

Pray in the name of Jesus, pleading the blood and thanking the Father for Jesus and salvation in your mind, even if your throat and voice temporarily will not function.

Take authority over the spirit forces, rebuking them in the name of the Jesus. They will release you and retreat as you prove that you are not going to let them gain a foothold of fear from which to harass you.

As your faith and confidence builds in the sufficiency of the Savior, the praise of Jesus Christ and a love for Him will erect a shield which spiritual forces are unable to overcome (Ps. 22:3-5). “If thou canst believe, all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26; Mark 9:23; 10:27).

Accept No “Truce”

Such attacks will continue until Satan is convinced that you will persevere in the warfare no matter what he throws against you. So do not accept a premature “truce.”

His next tactic is to shift his pressure point, seeking any weakness. He will accelerate his war with you, pressing you in areas of your personal, family, business, and spiritual life to destroy you. This can literally crowd you to Christ for fellowship and protection. This end result explains why God the Father permits him to harass you so. He wants to drive you to Himself, thus frustrating the “destroyer” in his plans. When men stand faithful, the enemy never wins.

You must recognize how Satan deploys his troops in an all-out attempt to convince you to turn back from your course. By crushing pressure, harassment, depression, oppression, and all sorts of crippling attacks, he will come at you. Your only recourse in the midst of this bombardment will be to claim with the Psalmist:

“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in him will I trust. Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. . . . There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling, for he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways” (Ps. 91:2-6, 10,11).

Counting the Cost

The pressures of the enemy are arranged to stop you from pursuing real spiritual warfare. So no matter what area of your life is under attack, it is all part of a cunningly devised strategy to stop you from rescuing the oppressed.

Do count the cost (Luke 14:28), then determine by God's grace that you will go on. Decide whether the deliverance of many lives from Satan's bondage is worth the effort, the misunderstanding, and hatred that will surely be your lot (John 15:18, 24; 17:14).

Ministers and other godly people may line up in horror against you in this undertaking. It is contrary to their experience and their expectation. They are seemingly impervious to the fact that the deliverance ministry is definitely spelled out in example, precept, and command in the Bible, and is desperately needed in these last days.

Keep in mind that these truths are spiritually discerned (1Cor. 2:14-15; 3:1) and until the Holy Spirit breaks through prejudice, fears, and ignorance, blinded minds will not comprehend and understand.

Indeed, some of those who attack you will think they do God a service! Some opponents will fall into the sad category of those whom Paul calls enemies of the cross (Phil. 3:18). Do not waste time trying to categorize the attackers. Ignore them and press on with Jesus Christ.

We need not fear the enemy, but we had certainly better respect him. We need not cower before him, but it is gross stupidity to misjudge the foe.

No Sunday School Picnic

Deliverance is not some Sunday school picnic to be approached lightheartedly as an exciting lark, but it is a deadly serious and dangerous business—raw, open warfare with the forces of hell. I repeat, in this battle no quarter is asked or given. It is all-out, total warfare. Woe to the unprepared.

Since the entire wisdom and cunning of Satan is arrayed against us, the only way we can possibly meet the enemy is by the appropriation of supernatural power and wisdom from Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

No victory is possible without the authority and power of the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:19-21; Phil. 2:9,10). He alone is capable of overcoming Satan and gave us this assurance: “I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy. . .and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19,20). Since Jesus gave us this authority, surely, He wants us to use it!

Keep in mind that you, as a deliverance worker, are not exempt from attacks in the areas of your former weakness and bondage. Watch as well as pray.

Demons are extremely sensitive in such matters and know well when they are approached by one who has been delivered from their kindred spirits. They express a particularly virulent hatred for and fear of that individual.

Do demons attempt a comeback after expulsion? Yes, in every case I know of.

It is wise also to remember that physical weakness makes it more difficult to resist the attacks of the Evil One. Even when victory seems secure, the demons will often attempt to return. God does not set a person free so he can walk away in carelessness or rebellion but to permit him to live in joyful obedience to Him.

Entering the Conflict

Check yourself and gird on the armor tightly before you enter the fray, for there will be no time once the battle is joined.

Woe to the one who enters the conflict lightheartedly or rashly with some pieces of the armor out of place or missing. Stay clean before the Lord (1John 1:9). Demons can ask some embarrassing questions of the workers if they choose. They can spot a phony immediately.

Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies; the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty Satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness, who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world. So use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up (Eph. 6:11-13,TLB).

Being kicked, cursed, spit upon, threatened, and attacked in many ways by monstrous spiritual forces is not some believers idea of serving God. Safe in their ivory towers of theological deadness and unreality, they pontificate against those "fanatics" and "deluded ones" who would have the audacity to take the Bible seriously and believe that God meant what He said and said what he meant, even about the dark forces of the spiritual world.

The Bible was written in simple language for average people. Most of the precious truths are easily obtainable for anyone willing to take the Holy Spirit for his guide and seek wisdom from the One Who promised to give wisdom without upbraiding (James 1:5).

There is a peril in failing to take action against the foe, as the Lord warned in speaking of His wrath against Moab: “Cursed be those withholding their sword from your blood, refusing to do the work that God has given them” (Jer. 48:10, TLB).

Putting on the Armor

Although I (Win Worley) generally do not utilize form prayers, feeling that they all too often degenerate into ritualistic mouthing, I here include Michael Harper's suggested prayer for one preparing for spiritual warfare.

It does contain all of the elements you need to pray about in this type of work. Rote repetition will not be of value (Matt. 6:7) but as a reminder of essentials, this may be helpful:

Lord Jesus, I claim by faith now the protection of Your armor, that I may stand against Satan and all his hosts, and in the name of Jesus, overcome them. I take Your truth to counter the lies and errors of a cunning enemy. I take Your righteousness to overcome the evil thought and accusations of Satan, I take the equipment of the gospel of peace and forsake the safety and comforts of life in order to wage war with the enemy.

Above all, I take Your faith to bar the way to doubts and unbelief entering my soul. I take Your salvation and trust You to protect my body, soul and spirit from Satan's varied attacks.

I take Your Word and pray that the Holy Spirit will enable me to use it effectively against the enemy to sever every bondage and deliver every captive of Satan. In the strong and all conquering name of Jesus Christ my Lord, Amen.

Prolonged Deliverance Sessions

In a prolonged deliverance session (which may stretch into hours) your body and mind will become fatigued and incredibly weary. The struggle with spiritual forces will easily be one of the most draining and exhausting exercises you will ever experience. This can be dangerous for you personally (as I pointed out earlier). If you relax your spiritual guards and shields, even briefly, know that a cunning and incredibly vicious intelligence is monitoring the whole affair, whose aim is to determine when to order an attack on the attackers.

Often the question is posed: “Why the long drawn out sessions of battle with the enemy?” Some piously remark that there is no record of Jesus or the others in Scripture going through such a struggle. “Why not just speak the word and command them to leave?”

It may be that we will someday attain the spiritual level (and perhaps some have) where we can consistently do this. If the demons will flee without a commotion, fine!

I have witnessed hundreds leave with little or no fuss and manifestation. Others, the deep rooted ones, more powerful ones—especially the ones associated with lust, the occult, religion and pride—seem to burrow in and will put up a strong battle before leaving.

Jesus said that some demons can only be cast out with prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29). It is possible that we are not yet ready for such absolute power . . . lest we be puffed up with pride.

Binding the Commander

Those who say you should never argue with or otherwise engage the enemy in a pitched battle merely indicate to me that they have not gone very far into the business of spiritual warfare. We have had many individuals come to us, still unrelieved from problems, after they had been confidently patted on the head elsewhere and told that it was done, and to claim the victory by faith. When we prayed with them, fierce and vicious demons answered us and began to talk and argue before being thrown out. They were not removed by bland smiles and form prayers, but by spiritual battle.

When dealing with a person through whom you expect demonic response, it is wise first to bind the strong man (Matt. 12:29) before beginning to pray. A prayer similar to this may prove useful:

“Satan, I rebuke you in Jesus' name and command you and all free demons around us to be bound and prevented from interfering or intervening in the deliverance of this person. I claim the promise that whatever I bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, in Jesus' name.”

This can often reduce the violence of the deliverance, although the personality, power grip of the demon on the life involved influences this also.

Keep in mind that a ruler spirit may have a legion or more of demons under his control. If you successfully bind the commander, you will hinder all those under his command from functioning.

Mind Control and Martial Arts

To illustrate, a controlling demon we dealt with (a spirit of Mind Control) had command of entire legions that were under his direct control. Under his supervision were other rulers: Hate, Pride, Martial Arts (Karate, Judo, Jujitsu), each having many subordinate spirits. By binding the controlling demon we were then able to attack the others.

The pressure on Mind Control became so intense that, in order to gain relief, he ordered Hate, Pride, and Martial Arts to leave with their spirits. They were furious but had to obey. Screaming, protesting, and spewing out obscenities, they reluctantly left.

Then as we badgered Mind Control with questions and prayers, he was forced to release a part of his own supporting force of many legions. When the Holy Spirit confused him and made his mind reel (in answer to prayer) he often would answer questions, in violation of his determination neither to talk with me nor to divulge any information. When this happened, he would stiffen with awful agony, groaning convulsively.

His hatred for me knew no bounds and was like a physical force stabbing at my forehead, a pressure similar to being prodded by a broomstick. Through the victim's gritted teeth, he explained that in punishment for blundering and yielding before a mortal's attack, Satan had subtracted a portion of his forces from him and sent them out into the world.

He had worked, he boasted, to garner power to himself and his authority was indeed impressive, but Satan has no mercy on the embattled demons when they fail. Even when Satan's promised reinforcements fail to appear, he still severely chastises those who do not win; there are no excuses for failure among Satan's hosts!

Toward the end of the session, the demon slipped and revealed more information (all under severe spiritual pressure), and Lucifer subtracted six legions in punishment. He groaned with awful pain when this happened. At the end of the session, only twenty-seven of his forty-five legions remained. All this was made possible by binding the ruler spirit.

In deliverance, the best approach is always to press for the expulsion of the demon. However, if, due to the weariness of the workers, physical exhaustion, shortness of time, or other factors, an alternative course must be pursued, you may take authority and bind the manifesting demons. If you have to close the session before the deliverance is completed, make every effort to bind all demons still present in the person. In doing so it is good to list the demons who have revealed their names.

“Be Bound in Jesus’ Name!”

In one case, a young man came to the house for help but could stay only a short time because of his work. Demons manifested themselves and some were cast out. The more resistant ones I bound, praying, "Satan, I come against you and the spirits of (naming certain ones) and I command that they be bound in the name of Jesus. By binding I mean that you are not to harass, torment, or manifest in any way in this man until you are called out in deliverance. Further, I forbid you to communicate with your rulers, your princes, each other or this man. You are to sit in silence and be alone [demons hate being alone]. I command this to be so, and order it to be done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I claim the promise that whatever I bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven. Be bound in Jesus' name!"

Again, some demons will resist this binding savagely, but keep insisting and praying for their binding. They will submit. When they do, the person will "surface" and, aside from being exhausted from the struggle, should feel peaceful and calm.

In this particular case I had overlooked some evil spirits that had been discovered but not cast out. Not being bound, they attacked the man that night with severe pains in the stomach and legs, causing something akin to near paralysis in the limbs of his body. He came back, and I discovered that the bound spirits were still bound, seething with rage and frustration. When I bound the loose demons causing the trouble, the pains and all symptoms immediately ceased. He came later for deliverance, and we sent them all out in Jesus' name.

Getting Your Hands Dirty

Let us face an awful fact. Many Christians are just plain lazy. They do not come down from the “rafters of righteousness” to become involved in anything so undignified, and which carries as much reproach from the world, as does battle with demonic spirits. Indignantly they draw back from an encounter which might rumple their carefully pressed clothes and rob them of sleep and their religious lethargy.

There are times when I almost wish it was as simple as the critics say; that there is no such thing as spiritual warfare for Christians, or that the demons obediently and instantly hop out when some supercharged Christian appears on the scene. No account I have read, written by anyone who has ever actually dealt with demons, will fail to "clue you in" that there is a real war here, not a polite little skirmish.

There is no "nice" way to clean out a septic tank and in deliverance, we are, in a sense, pumping out the demonic sewage and filth accumulated in persons who need help. To people who raise their hands in horror at the fact that deliverance's take place regularly in our church services, I reply that Jesus and his followers performed deliverance's in the public streets and at least ours are inside a building! For the time being anyhow.

Mighty Lords of Darkness

Although I have not had the years of experience that he has I understand Dr. Koch's statement: "As a result of my work among the occultly oppressed and the possessed, I am sometimes stretched to the very limits of my physical, mental and spiritual powers. If it were not for the fact that the Lord has held His hand over me in the past, I would have been ruined long ago. 'For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her'." (Zech. 2:5).

You may be sure that after hours of bitter struggling, straining every physical, mental and spiritual muscle you own, you will have very little pride in your own ability left. You will also have no doubts about Who and what turned the victory against the supernatural foe. There is no need to explain to a "combat soldier" in these struggles that without the mighty power of the name and the blood of Jesus Christ, His protecting angels, and the strengthening enabling of the Holy Spirit, we would be utterly helpless and easily wiped out. If these mighty lords of darkness could really get at the workers, they would tear them to pieces.

After the combat, you are extremely conscious that the power came through, but was not of you. You are the pipe, not the water; the instrument, not the surgeon. So it is always, in order that glory and honor and praise be given to the Lord Jesus Christ, Who alone is worth (Rev. 4:11). The religious crowd will leave you, but be not dismayed. They have always shied away from anyone who follows the Lord too closely. Among them you will find those who will ardently persecute, rather than to concede that their position may be wrong.

By Win Worley

Prayer For Every Home

Another selfless deliverance warrior, Pat Pust, has given permission to reprint the following prayer that she received from the Lord during many years of battling with the enemy.

Psalm 101:2: “I will walk within my house in integrity and with a blameless heart.”

Psalm 101:6:” My eyes shall look with favor upon the faithful of the land that they may dwell with Me.”

Psalm 101:7: “He who works deceit shall not dwell in My house, he who tells lies shall not continue in My presence.”

Psalm 101:8: “Morning after morning I will root up all the wicked in the land that I may eliminate all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.”

Psalm 12:5: “Now will I arise says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.

Prayer for Your Family and Home

By the blood and in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I establish the Lordship of the Most High God over the four corners of this edifice and property, down through the depths of the earth to the very foundations of Hell and through the atmosphere to the throne room of the most high God and with the Blood of Jesus and the oil that represents the Holy Spirit on me, I repel all the visible and invisible means (gamma rays, micro waves, electromagnetic fields or any other forces) Satan is using to hurt and destroy our bodies, our minds, and our wills, sending it back to the originators. (Their sins shall be visited upon their heads.).

I also repel all means of spying out the land, sending it back to the originators, who will not remember what they saw or heard for my God and my Lord shall cause them to be ADDLEBRAINED—they shall not be of value to the enemy.We come against the progression of age, including all damage done by previous surgeries, viral attacks, accidents, injuries, weakness, sickness, genetic curses, all other curses and their assignments, and arrested development in our young people.

We come against all psychic soul power and soulish pressure, in whatever form and source, and render it powerless to affect any members of our families or bloodlines. We pull down these strongholds and cast out every evil spirit on assignment, in us or in this place. Go now in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Renounce and expel any other thing that the Holy Spirit brings to you, including financial lack or bondage of any kind. Our God shall not be denied, nor will He deny His people.

Psalm 104:5: “You laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be moved forever.”

Daily Warfare Prayer

Start every day with thanksgiving, worship and praise, praying in the Holy Ghost, and then pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus, and I ask you to forgive me of all my sins, including all sins of omission. Search me and know me, Oh God, and show me any wicked way that may be in me that I may confess it and forsake it, in Jesus' Name

I ask you to cover me and all my family members with the blood of Jesus and fill me afresh with the Holy Ghost and fire. I bring every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ.

Father, I renounce what I want, feel, or think as I approach this day that you have made, and I seek your divine will for me in it. What would you have me to do?

I will my will to do your perfect will today. And Father, as I open my mouth, fill it so that even what I speak will be pleasing unto You.

Put a guard upon my mouth that I would say only what you would have me to say. Open my eyes to see and my ears to discern any opportunity to minister your grace in any situation or circumstance and to any person in my area of habitation.

Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name, I ask for spiritual gifts that I may glorify Jesus and exalt Him today.

I put on the whole armor of God, the helmet of salvation, and the breastplate of righteousness, which is Christ. I gird my loins with truth, the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Christ. I shod my feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace and will answer any who ask about the hope that is in me.

I take up the shield of faith to ward off any fiery dart of the enemy. I also take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying with all prayer and supplication in the Holy Ghost.

Father, I pray for myself and family and all the people I am going to refer to. (Pause here and name everyone you want to include in this prayer. I suggest you make a list with the names of the people you want to pray for).

I ask you keep everyone of us in the place you have prepared for us and that the Spirit of wisdom and revelation knowledge be ministering to our spirits and minds.

I ask you to convict us all of any unrighteousness in our lives and any thing that would beset us or hinder in our relationship with you, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost.

I ask that you dispatch warrior angels to keep us from the evil one and any kind of accidents, harm, injuries, illness, death, destruction, disease, pain, infection, or virus.

Father, create godly soul ties in our families, with our spouses and children and fellow believers in Christ Jesus.

Bless our finances, and give us as much as we can handle as good stewards,and without sinning against you.

Hear me, Satan, I come against you and your host, and I command you, in the name of Jesus, that for me and the people I have mentioned that you cannot and will not have any input or affect on our lives in any way.

Satan, you are not lord; Jesus Christ is Lord. You can have nothing to say or do with our minds, bodies, souls, spirits, emotions, and wills; our marriages, finances, friendships, fellowships, and acquaintances; our homes, schools, workplaces, and places of recreation; our transportation, or any vehicle that could come close to us; or any decision that is made concerning any one of us.

I call out and bring before you all of these people: (name all those you choose who need prayer). I also include Cross of Christ Ministries and everyone that they have ministered to in the past. You have no authority over us.

I bind you, Satan, and command you not to interfere in any of their lives, anymore, that they may remain free and in authority. I bind you and your host to the Day of Judgment, and you will no longer interfere in any of our lives ever again. I know that the Name of Jesus Christ is all powerful and sufficient to do this. Now is the judgment of this world, and I cast you out of our lives and families.

And now, for everyone I have named, I break every curse, spell, or hex that has been put out against any one of us. I break the power of any curse that has come down through the inherited bloodline and every curse from a witch, warlock, Satanist; every Santeria curse, roots curse, generational or demonic, Indian curse, voo doo curse, or any curse of imprecation of words that have been spoken.

I reverse every curse and release God's blessings. I break, in the name of Jesus, every ungodly emotional soul tie that is connected to any one of us. I further render any spirit that is not of God the Father, powerless to affect us in any way.

In the name of Jesus and through His Blood, I pull down every stronghold of Satan, any prince, principality, strong man, and every spirit of darkness over my home. I put the blood of Jesus between us. I cut off your communication lines. I confuse your camp and render you powerless and cast you out in Jesus’ Name.

I cast out every spirit of poverty, lack, confusion, cloudiness, jealously, bondage, whoredom, lying, perversion, slumber, infirmity, envy, falseness, and anti-christ. I plead the blood of Jesus around our property and possessions, and, Satan, you or your host will not cross the blood line. This command is coming from the third Heaven, and you will not interfere with anyone I have mentioned.

In the name of Jesus, I take authority and bind every prince, principality, and strongman over (name business, or church, job, etc.) at (name location). I come against and cast out every spirit of fear, mismanagement, poverty, confusion, lack, failure, and bankruptcy.

I loose, in the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, sound management, prosperity, clarity, wisdom, knowledge, blessings, profit, honesty, success, and favor from my business associates and fellow workers.

Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus that you send warring angels to go before me to accomplish these blessings and create favor in our businesses.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind you Satan and your entire kingdom so that you cannot and will not be active in (insert the name) County, in any person or animal.

I come against your strongholds over every place dealing in drugs, pornography, prostitution, places selling witchcraft paraphernalia, bars and nude bars, palm readers, mediums, fortune tellers, any place worshipping a false god, etc. Through the authority of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, vested in me, I tear down and command these businesses to terminate and to cease operation, immediately.

Prayer for Evening Warfare

Begin with praise and thanks for all men.

Father, I ask you in the Name of Jesus, that you will dispatch mighty warring angels right no to hold back the forces of Satan and his kingdom while I sleep.

Satan, you or any evil spirit in your kingdom that could be in or around our properties, I bind you up and drive you out in the Name of Jesus.

Any astral-project or soul travel spirits that could be in or around our property, I command you in the Name of Jesus, go to where Jesus sends you.

I cover my mind, brain, and memories, my conscious, unconscious, and my subconscious with the Blood of Jesus. I bind the spirits of terror, fear, nightmares, or torment with the blood of Jesus.

Dear Lord Jesus, protect our property, vehicles, families, and all ministries preaching the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Grant each of us sweet sleep and speak to us through our dreams and let us wake up refreshed.

Minister to our minds and hearts as you did to David on the hills of Jerusalem.
