Introduction to Deliverance

What follows is an excerpt from my book on deliverance. I have placed these prayers here as I believe they should be said by all betrothed and married couples to remove problems from the past that will cause trouble in their relationship that may hinder and possibly even destroy these relationships.

This recommendation is from years of counselling women, taking them through deliverance for problems Which should have been dealt with before the marriage was entered into. As a result of these problems they living in unhappy marriages, full of low self-esteem, divorced or in the process of being divorced and feeling God had passed them by and can not use them. They are unable to function properly as a wife or mother and to minister as God desires them too.

It is suggest that both spouses say the prayers together. One reads them and prays them in their heart and the other agrees with them in their heart. There will be a need for deliverance later in some areas that are deep or hidden but these will be worked through as a couple as you support each other in dealing with these weaknesses or past events. The spouse who is less abused should say the prayers.

Deliverance is between you and God. The deliverance minister is really a facilitator to turn your heart to Jesus in areas that Jesus is not Lord of your life. It is as demons are removed from these areas that person is delivered in the prayers.

These prayers aim to help you do this, to give your life to Jesus as Lord and then tell Satan to go as He no longer has a place in you.

If you do not believe you need to say these prayers say them with your betrothed or spouse if only for their sake.

Deliverance’ Prayers

I define self-deliverance as doing deliverance without the need for another to help you through the ‘Five Steps to Victory’ on which these prayers are based..

This section contains three lengthy prayers. The first is for re–dedication of your life to Jesus and may even be a salvation prayer for some. The second is for sexual or other types of abuse and should be said before the Genera Deliverance Prayers that follow it. All the prayers should really be said as they deal with areas that are different to each other and the abuse prayer does not cover everything the third prayer (the General Deliverance Prayer) covers.

Rededication to Jesus.

Before praying the ‘abuse’ prayer (the second set) it may be necessary to rededicate your life back to Jesus through the first set of prayers. This rededication declares you belong to Jesus and that you desire Him above Satan. From this basis, of declaring and desiring Jesus to be your Lord, deliverance occurs.

Father, Lord, in my pain and hurts I gave Satan a hold on me by accepting his things were more acceptable than those of Jesus. I repent of wanting to die as I want to live and Serve Jesus. I repent of anything I gave to Satan and declare I reject what Satan offered me in the past and all I gave to Satan or accepted from him I give to you Jesus.

Lord Jesus, I give you my life. I want you to be my Lord and Saviour, to serve you as a citizen of your kingdom. I choose you and life.

Satan! you placed things on me without my consent so I command you In Jesus’ Name to remove them and all the consequences of them such as any walls, enclosures, or any thing placed on or in me, around me or binding me as well as any demons associated with them in any way either in me or out of me.

Satan I have given my life to Jesus so you have no right to me any more so you must go in Jesus Name and take your demons and every thing you did to me to the abyss.

I declare in Jesus Name I am healed of all the damage Satan did to me .

Holy Spirit fill me and take the place of the demons that have left.

Thank You Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit

Amen. I declare it to be so

Prayer for Abuse

The prayer for sexual abuse can be used for any type of abuse. Just change male to female as required. Any abuse is damaging to a person and in all types of abuse the damage varies according to the intensity of the abuse. Sexual abuse is the worse as so people who are sexually abused are amongst the most damaged of any abused person.

I come to you Jesus, my Lord, my Brother, my Friend. I have been abused and hurt and need Your deliverance and healing touch.

In Jesus Name I forbid any spirit of darkness from in any way trying to stop me praying this prayer, from trying to block The Holy Spirit speaking to me, from trying to cause me to be fearful or from understanding God’s Love and forgiveness towards me .

I give you my mind, thoughts, emotions and attitudes Lord and in Jesus Name I forbid satan from attacking or influencing them in any way.

Help me to have faith in Your Word and its promises of deliverance, restoration, wholeness, cleansing and purification and Your acceptance of me as I am, and not as I think I should to be. In Jesus Name I forbid any demon from blocking or hindering me in any way in these areas.

I know I have to forgive those who hurt me (mention the names of these people). I also have to forgive others who should have helped me but ignored my abuse.

I repent of unforgiveness and forgive all the people who hurt me or allowed others to hurt me (name the ones you can). I repent of bitterness, any roots of bitterness, anger and any other wrong emotions I have in me towards these people. I know that if I fail I am not rejected by You but you still Love me as I am and wait for me to repent so I can be restored to fellowship with you as your Bible promises happens when I repent. I repent and forgive all those that hurt me.

Lord give me the grace to forgive myself for all I have done wrong. I forgive myself by faith through Your Grace

Help me to do this, Jesus, as it is so hard. I want to repent in my heart and not just say it, Lord!

In Jesus’ name I break every wrong soul tie I have. In Jesus’ Name I command any demons that have used these soul ties at any time or in any way to go to the abyss. In Jesus’ Name I command healing on these soul ties as well as any other damage done by Satan to me and ask you, Holy Spirit, to fill me and take their place.

My precious Brother Jesus, I give you all the events that hurt me in any way in these areas of abuse as well as the consequence of these abusive events. I give you my coping measures, any walls or masks I have and repent of any hypocrisy that occurred, and I say to Satan:

These areas have been given by me to Jesus so you must leave them in Jesus’ Name and go to the abyss, and take all you placed on me, in me, over me or around me with you to the abyss!

In Jesus’ Name, Satan, I command you to remove everything you have placed upon me or in me without my consent, as well as any walls you have placed in me, all the consequences of these events and any demons that have used these things in any way. In Jesus’ Name I command you all to go to the abyss.

In Jesus’ Name I command healing, and restoration of all I am emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally, the heart of flesh be healed, the wounded spirit be healed, the sound mind restored, my personality, soul, mind, memory, emotions, and all that I am integrated as a whole.

In Jesus’ Name I command cleansing of all the pollution, impurity and uncleaness Satan placed on me and command these to go in Jesus’ Name along with any demons associated in any way with these things. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to fill me, cleanse me and restore me.

Jesus, I give You my sexual desires and the ways I desire to fulfil them now or did fill them previously (if applicable). They are damaged and need Your healing. I repent of the wrong way I utilised sex to compensate and to give me pleasure.

Lord I give you all my insecurities as I trust you. I am sorry for any time I did not trust you and repent of this and declare I will trust you as all you allow is for my good. You are my provider and my protector. Thank you Jesus.

Lord, there is a vacuum in me that you alone can fill. I give it to you and ask you to fill it Holy Spirit as I do not want Satan to be there. I want Jesus to be there. Thank you Holy Spirit.

I give You my relationships to myself, people and God as they are damaged and need healing. I also give You my fear of close, personal relationships with You or others.

My love and emotions are damaged and I have incorrect emotions as a result of this. I give these and my love to You to be healed.

I give You my fear of man and my fear of authority, as well as any fear I have of You and also any damaged relationship I have with You, The Father, and The Holy Spirit.

I give You the incorrect self-image, self-worth and self-esteem I have. I give You my self-rejection, my fear of being unlovable and worthless as well as all the wrong attitudes and concepts I have in these areas and the other areas already mentioned.

Jesus, I give You my negative self-image as well as my (femininity/Masculinity) sexuality and gender, all the God-given gender roles You have called me to as either mother, father, sister, brother, wife, husband, or celibate servant of Yours (as applicable).

Jesus, my Brother, and my Lord, there are probably wrong attitudes in me I cannot face and which I have suppressed as they are unchristian. I give them to You now and repent of them as I do not want any thing in me that is not of You or which hinders my relationship with You in any way.

So I give You all I am, have been and will be to keep and protect as my Lord.

Satan, I have given all these areas, events, circumstances and things to Jesus to be Lord of, so you no longer have any right to these areas or any part of my life. In Jesus’ Name go to the abyss.

In Jesus’ Name I command healing and restoration on my whole person, the heart of flesh healed, the wounded spirit healed, the sound mind restored, the emotions, memory, personality, all I am healed, restored and integrated as one.

Holy Spirit fill me, integrate me as one and anoint me to serve the Lord as He desires me too.

Lord take the place of all that was removed and guide me to draw closer to you. Show me how to be led by Your Spirit so I can serve you as I desire.

Thank you Father for your Grace each day, that your mercy is renewed each morning and that your loving faithfulness never changes whether I sin or not. No matter what happens nothing can separate me from your Love, forgiveness given at Calvary, Your Mercy and Your Loving faithfulness to me.

Thank you Jesus my salvation does not depend on whether I am good or bad but on my continually repenting (turning away from) of all that does not please you as well as trying to keep you as Lord of my life and that it is the relationship we have that saves me and not any activity I can do. Thank you I am a child of The Father and a citizen of Your Kingdom with all the hopes and rewards you offer me.

Thank you Holy Spirit that You are always with me because You are in me guiding me and helping me each day.

I thank you Jesus that you protect me because I want to serve you and you not because I am doing anything wonderful for you and that your love for me does not depend on what I do but in who I am, a child of The Father He desires to have with Him in eternity.

I know all guilt shame and condemnation were removed at Calvary and all I feel now in these areas comes from Satan so in Jesus Name I command guilt, shame and condemnation go to the abyss.

I know all my sins were forgiven at Calvary so I do not need to ask for forgiveness as of sin as that has already been given to me at Calvary and all I need to do is repent and keep on trying to live as you want me to live.

I thank you Father that I am Your son/daughter and no one can take that away from me and that You are my Father who loves me gives me all I need. Help me to appreciate this please Father.

Lord I know my experience of being abused will help me minister to others. Holy Spirit show me how to use my experience of being abused to minister to others so I can be used to free others as I was freed by Jesus so that they can be closer to Him.

Thank You, my Father, my Lord and Brother, and Holy Spirit my Guide, for accepting these hurts, pain and sorrows, healing and restoring me to wholeness.

AMEN! I declare these things to be so!

Satan will try and make you believe you are not delivered by raising many temptations you have been freed from but these will no longer cause you a problem as he is outside trying to get back in and not inside controlling things. The Holy Spirit will tell you what to do. The Five Steps should be used to defeat Satan for the first year of attack and not just casting off attacking demons in case there are areas rising up from deep within you that need to be dealt with.

General Deliverance Prayers

These prayer can used when there is no serious abuse.

These prayers can be used for individuals or groups. All that is needed is to be change are the pronouns to reflect whether you are saying it for yourself, for another or for a group.

As you read these prayers agree with them in your heart. It is not important to say them out aloud as Jesus knows your heart’s response and that is all that matters but the ‘casting out prayers’ need to be said even if only whispered.

I approach you Father through The relationship I have with You and The Lord Jesus and I thank you Holy Spirit for being in me and guiding me in these prayers.

In Jesus Name I forbid any demon from manifesting in any way as these prayers are said, doing anything to stop me having deliverance, blocking me from hearing and understanding the truths The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit want me to know.

A prayer to forgive all who have hurt you and also to repent of wrong attitudes to anyone:

Lord, I completely forgive all those who have offended me as well as myself, even if only by faith. Help me to do this please. I repent of any unforgiveness, bitterness, root of bitterness, anger and any other wrong attitudes in me towards anyone Lord. Lord, help me to repent of unforgiveness, bitterness, root of bitterness and wrong attitudes toward those with whom I have trouble doing this too. I also repent of offending others and ask You to show me what to do about it.

Things put on you by Satan

Satan, you have done things to me without my consent. I did not agree to them and do not want them now. In Jesus’ Name I command you to take all you did to me out of me, off me, and away from me, along with any walls you built in me as well as anything around me covering me, blinding me or binding me. I command you in Jesus’ Name to remove along with you the walls you have placed in me, the demons hiding behind the walls that were in me as well as anything else done to me along with all the consequences of the actions of any of these demons in me.

In Jesus Name I also break any wrong soul ties in me and command healing of them as well as of any damage done by you and the demons that have used these soul ties at any time and for you to all go to the abyss now in Jesus Name.

Father I am sorry for anything I have done wrong in these areas to allow these walls to form and for not looking to you, Jesus or The Holy Spirit for help in dealing with these events that hurt me.

Curses and contracts with Satan

Satan! I now belong to Jesus and I renounce every contract, vow, other arrangement, promise or anything similar I have ever made to you either knowingly or unknowingly. If I have accepted anything from you I give it to Jesus to deal with. If I have given you anything I give it to Jesus to deal with. As Jesus is my Lord I declare you no longer have any rights over me or my descendants so in Jesus Name I break every curse, contract, vow or similar arrangement made by another over me or through me to my descendants .

In Jesus Name I declare all curses were broken at Calvary including the curses over Adam and Eve and if I have caused a curse on myself or anyone else I break it in Jesus Name and ask you to show me what I need to repent of in regard to these please Holy Spirit.

In Jesus’ Name I command any demons associated with these curses to go to the abyss.

The Mind

In Jesus’ Name I command arguments, theories, reasonings, proud and lofty thoughts, vain imaginations, weariness, heaviness, oppression, fear, doubt, unbelief, rebellion, confusion, disorder, distraction, lying and deceiving spirits and anything in me that sets itself up against Jesus and the true knowledge of God to go immediately in Jesus’ Name to the Abyss. Lord, I ask for the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

In Jesus’ Name I command anything that binds me, encloses me, covers me or blinds me in any way to the things of God to be broken or removed and the demons enforcing these to go immediately to the Abyss.

General Repentance

Lord, Jesus, I want you to be Lord of my life. I give it to all You, as well as anything that stands between You and me. Show me these things Lord that separate us so I can deal with them as you want me to deal with them. I want to do Your will in all I do Lord, and I ask You to help me to do this.

Lord, I give You myself, my purposes, plans, desires, hopes, ministry, everything I seek to do, have done or will do or be in this life. I want to do only what You want me to do and be what You want me to be. I want to be a faithful servant, steward and citizen of Your kingdom. I give You all that I once thought to be important, but were actually against Your will, for You to remove from me so that I can do Your will as You desire. I give You my worship, as my life is my worship to You, and I also give You my prayer life as that is also part of worship. I want to be a faithful citizen and servant of Your Kingdom. I repent of anything I have done wrong in these areas.

Lord, I give You my gifts and abilities to use as You will, any ministry you give or have given me as well as all my purposes and plans. I am sorry for the things I have done wrong with them, as I want to use them as You want me to.

Lord, I also repent of anything that hinders intimacy with You, learning of You, hearing from You, and from correctly worshipping You, Father and Holy Spirit.

Lord, I repent of rebelling against any authority you have placed over me or of not using properly any authority you have given me as I want to use any authority you have delegated to me correctly in the way You want me to use it and to obey You in all things in t he way you desire me to obey you.

Lord, I repent of any word I have spoken, thought I have had or action I have done that was wrong or anything I accepted that was wrong, in word, thought or action, because I did not resist as I should have.

Lord, I have emotions and attitudes in me I don’t know about because they are ungodly so I have suppressed them because I can not face them as a Christian. I give them to You and repent of them and of not taking them to You. I forgive all who have offended me and caused those wrong attitudes Lord and also forgive myself and repent of any hidden unforgiveness and bitterness, root of bitterness or any other wrong attitudes in me that I have suppressed because I cannot face these were ungodly.

Lord, I know I have worth and am acceptable, not because of what I have done, or because of what people think of me, but because You died for me, and that I am acceptable to You as I am and not as I think I should be. My God, I thank you that you have planned my life so I can be like Jesus and that You have provided all I need to live and do this.

Lord, I want my esteem to be based on what You think of me.
My value, because of the value You place on me
My self-acceptance to be because I am accepted by You.

I repent of getting my self-esteem, worth or value through other things or through my personal achievements.

Lord, Since shame, guilt and condemnation were dealt with at Calvary along with all my sins, I know that when shame, guilt or condemnation occur, these are now from Satan and I will cast them out in Jesus Name and ask The Holy Spirit to take their place. I also repent of any wrong attitudes toward failure as these failures happen because I am not perfect. I know You accept me as I am and not as I think I should be and all You require of me is to repent and then to keep trying to obey you.

In Jesus Name I command shame, guilt and condemnation to go to the abyss and ask you Holy Spirit to take their place.

Lord, I also reject all the works of the devil and his kingdom as I want only to do Your works in all things and to serve You alone and others as You direct. I am sorry for having done the things of Satan, whether I knew of them or not and will try not to do them in the future as I want to do only what you want me to do.

Lord, if there is anything in me that is not right or not in accordance with Your will, I reject it. I want to do Your Will as well as know and understand your teachings and I know you have promised I will know what I need to do this if I want too. I thank You Holy Spirit hat you are my teacher.

Lord, if there is anything I have not given to You, I give it to you now.

Lord, I am sorry for what I have done wrong in all the areas of my life and will try to do what You want me to. I know I am not to look at past failures but only at what You have done in my life and I repent of not doing this and looking at times to the past instead of you and the wonderful things you have for me.

Lord, I give You all the above areas. I also now give You all the events and circumstances that led to the wrong thoughts, attitudes and emotions I have or have had in these areas as well as all the resultant consequences of these events and circumstances as I want You to be Lord of all my life. I want to think and behave as You want me to.

Casting-out Prayers

These need to be said but can be whispered and do not need to be said out loud.

Satan, you no longer have a right to work in these areas as I have given them all to Jesus, so in Jesus’ Name go the the abyss.

In Jesus’ Name I command complete healing and restoration of all the damage Satan did to me as well as and integration of every part of my being and personality .

I ask You Jesus to fill me afresh with The Holy Spirit and me anoint as You think I need to be to serve you.

Thank You, Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Amen.

What follows is reproduced here as it is important to know how to hear The Holy Spirit clearly as well as how to fight Satan. These are placed here in case you want to photocopy the prayers and hand them out to someone along with these two sections.

Some helps for you Christian walk

When Tempted

Satan cannot make you do anything you do not agree to do. He has to deceive you into agreeing with what he wants you to do. So, the first line of defence is to reject what he offers. When you are attacked ask The Holy Spirit if you are being attacked from within you or outside of you. It attacked from within you then deliverance is needed. If attacked from outside of you then cast it out in Jesus Name to the abyss.

If you are attacked in an area often or have a weakness you are having trouble overcoming then you probably have a need for deliverance in that area.

When you are tempted and feel you need deliverance use the following framework (The Five Steps to freedom):

As it is a battle of kings you address the enemy king (Satan).

If there is no need for deliverance then tell any demon attacking you that you belong to Jesus and to go to the abyss in Jesus’ Name then ask The Holy Spirit to take their place.

Whenever I get any wrong thought sensation, feeling or emotion, I command the demons behind it to leave and go to the abyss in Jesus’ Name.

In summary:

The key is to take the thought Capture. In other words the demon placing the thought in your mind is cast into the abyss in Jesus name and commanded to stay there.

Just resisting the thought does nothing. It is capturing the the source of it that removes the demon and the temptation.

How to Hear The Holy Spirit

Preparatory Prayer

Lord, I want to hear The Holy Spirit so I can do Your Will and be guided to be Your follower and son/daughter by adoption. I give this desire to You and am sorry for anything I have done wrong in this area.

In Jesus’ Name I command any demons that are blocking me from hearing and understanding the truths The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit want me to hear and understand to go immediately to the abyss. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to take their place.

How You Hear Him

Unless The Holy Spirit or Satan actually appear to you, they can only talk to you in your mind. When they are speaking it is as if they are your own thoughts or that you are talking to yourself. People often mistake this for a disorder as if there are apparently two personalities in them when demons are there speaking audibly in your mind. Also when The Holy Spirit is speaking, they usually think it is their own thoughts.

If it is not our thoughts then it is either The Holy Spirit or Satan. You can actually hold a conversation with the Holy Spirit or the demons representing Satan and ask them questions and they will answer if appropriate. Only answers from The Holy Spirit are 100% truthful. Demons will answer in a way that furthers their purposes for you.

You will need to silence your mind. You may have trouble hearing Him (The Holy Spirit) especially if you are in a place full of distractions or in a place where Satan rules. Remember, The Holy Spirit, has a still, small (quiet) voice.

He will place an impression, picture, or thought in your mind, give you an emotion, or even speak to you in an audible voice. You will know it is from Him as it will not cause you to fear. He may speak in other ways than these, but these are the normal ways. You may feel a check in your spirit which is a ‘no’. If He does not reply it is also a ‘no’, so you ask Him the reason why He said no as He may tell you and you may find out more by this than by the answer you wanted.

The answer He gives will line up with The Bible, and you will have peace in your heart over it. Remember, God will not contradict His Word.

Remember that Satan will try and cause you doubt about what you are hearing then cause you to reason that it is wrong or impossible so that you believe you are not hearing correctly. Or at times Satan will block you hearing The Holy Spirit so you need to cast him out and stop him doing this and ask again. If you do not hear from The Holy Spirit, ask the following:

The Holy Spirit is your Companion in this life, so it is necessary to be in continual communication with Him as He helps you to navigate the traps of Satan and do the Will of God.
