Bind the Enemy from Interfering

Deliverance Prayers

Heavenly Father, we come before You, trusting in Christ's payment for us, and we ask that You would bind and gag all evil spirits and forces of darkness in, near, and around us so that they may not interfere with us now. We acknowledge that You are the Ruler "Far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come." You have told us, in Your faithfulness, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." We claim our position with You, through Your Grace and ask that as it is written, so it be done. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we ask, and in faith, we receive. Amen.


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 become a curse for me. 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).

I now appropriate in my life, Jesus' work on the cross to free me from all curses. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I now rebuke, break and lose 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 that all these curses, dedications, or pacts are null and void in Jesus' name. I reject every way in which Satan may claim ownership of me, and I command all these connected and related spirits to leave me now and never return, in Jesus' name. I declare that I am totally committed and completely signed over to my Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Breaking Satanic Dedication and Covenants


Breaking Satanic or Cult Dedication and Covenants - I renounce ever signing my name over to Satan or having my name signed over to Satan. I announce that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. I renounce any ceremony where I may have been wed to Satan, and I announce that I am the Bride of Christ. I renounce all satanic assignments, covenants, pacts, and dedications that I made with Satan or that were made for me. I announce that I am a partaker of the new covenant with Christ.

I reject and renounce all curses and assignments made for me or by me for the service of Satan. (Stop here and renounce any specific pacts remembered.) I trust only in the shed Blood of my Lord, Jesus Christ and what He accomplished on the cross. I look to the Holy Spirit for guidance. I renounce all guardians and surrogate parents assigned to me by Satanists. I renounce all baptisms, rituals, or teachings by Satanists. I announce that I have been baptized into Christ Jesus, and my identity is now in Christ. I renounce and reject all demons and familiar spirits attached to any part of me by Satanists. I reject all spirit guides assigned to me.

I announce that God is my Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit is my guardian. By this, I am sealed until the day of my redemption. I accept only God's assignment for me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Canceling Demonic Assignments

I break all these curses, and I cancel all assignments of any demons, or fallen angels, ...

Father, we come to You, covered in the Name and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that You are the ruler far above all principalities, rights, powers, and dominions. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we ask that You would break all assignments, spells, curses, incantations, vows, and other forms of harm set against (me, us, name of system or insiders affected) by (name or entity if you know it..)

In Jesus' Name, we ask that You would cancel any such assignment and prevent all influences by forces of darkness. All evil spirits and forces of darkness allowed access through this assignment; we renounce you and all your works and all your ways in the Name of Jesus. I am a child of God and you are trespassers here. In Jesus' Name, you are commanded to depart, never to return.

Father, we ask that You fill us with Your presence and bring light fully, setting darkness under Your feet. Thank You, in Jesus' Name we ask, in faith we do receive, Amen.


Cleansing for Participating in the Occult

There is power available to us through the blood of the Lamb.

Dear Heavenly Father, I have confessed all these occult sins of seeking from Satan the help that should come only from You. I repent of all these sins of occultism, idolatry, and any oath I may have made to any false gods and ask to be forgiven. I repent for seeking aid, knowledge, power or comfort from the kingdom of darkness. I repent and renounce those occult sins and idolatry that I cannot remember. I close all doors or openings in my life to all occult and psychic practices and spirits of darkness. I ask You, Heavenly Father, to seal them with the precious shed Blood of Jesus Christ, never to be opened again. In Jesus' name. Amen.


Confession and Deliverance From Specific Occult Sins
Occult sin opens the door to demonic torment, and salvation alone does not ensure that these demons leave automatically!

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You and renounce all sinful, occult practices and idolatry of seeking information, knowledge, healing, comfort, identity or power from any occult, psychic or secret source.

I renounce ever reading books about the black arts, parapsychology, magic, and satanic rituals, including the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, the Satanic Bible, books on false religions, and other satanic books and writings.

I renounce trance channeling, consulting familiar spirits, clairvoyance, communication with the dead, séances, consulting counselors from the spirit realm, consulting wizards, ascended masters, spirit guides, wise masters, fortune tellers, witches, shamans, mediums or spiritists.

************************
Confession of Faith and Position in Christ

Jesus has liberated us from the powers of darkness.  Dear Heavenly Father, I acknowledge there is only one true and living God who exists as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I recognize Christ Jesus as the Son of the Living God, the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us.

Jesus, you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power, for You have created all things, and in You, all things have their being. Father God, You have proved Your love for me by sending your Son to die for me. When I accepted You, Jesus, as my Savior, I was saved by Your grace. This was a gift from You and not the result of any work on my part. I acknowledge that all my sins are forgiven in Christ. All charges that were against me were nailed to the cross and canceled; therefore, the devil has nothing with which to accuse me. You redeemed me from the kingdom of darkness, translating me to Your kingdom. Now I am made right with God. With You, Lord Jesus, I can do all things. When I was saved, your Holy Spirit came to live within me. I am conformed to the image of Your Son.

Jesus, You came to set the captives free, those bound by sin, psychic or occult powers. I declare that it is God's truth that will set me free. Jesus, You have all authority in heaven and on earth. You have conquered and disarmed all evil principalities and powers. You made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Now I am seated with You in heavenly places. Jesus, You have authority over Satan and all his demons, and they are subject to You. I stand strong in You, Lord Jesus, and resist Satan and all his evil schemes. Jesus, I am covered and protected by Your precious Blood. Your spiritual weapons are mighty to tear down all strongholds of the enemy in my life. Jesus, bind and rebuke all evil spirits and powers of darkness that would seek to interfere with this time of ministry. I renounce all counterfeit gifts and works of Satan in my life. I take my position in Christ and declare that You, Jesus, are my Lord and my God. I look only to You, Jesus, as my deliverer and healer. You know all my special needs and concerns. I claim Your word which says, "All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be set free." I call on You now, Lord Jesus Christ, to set me free. In Jesus' name. Amen.


Creating a Safe Place


Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that You are the Creator and Sustainer of all things and that all we have is a gift from You. We ask now, in accordance with Your will for us, that you create for us (or whoever it's for) a place of light and safety so that they may come and fellowship with You, as Your children, in peace and truth. We ask Lord Jesus that You would be present in it and protect us (or them). May this place of safety be used to draw others within, to You. " 'For I,' says the Lord, 'will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst. " We ask that You would set angels from Your heavenly host to guard and protect it and us, according to Your Word, which says, "For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone." Thank You for Your promises and presence, Father, for in Jesus' Name we ask, according to Your Word, and in faith we receive. Amen.



Prayer of Forgiveness


Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for Your love and kindness toward me. It is Your kindness that has led me to repentance, turning from all my sins and turning to you.

I admit that I have not been kind, patient, and loving to others when they have offended me. I have allowed bitterness and resentment to grow in me, separating me from others and You, Father. At times, I have forgotten this unforgiveness in my heart. This unforgiveness festers deep within me, at times beyond my conscious reach. This affects every aspect of my life and gives the enemy a right to torment me as stated in Matthew 18. I confess that this unforgiveness and bitterness are affecting my life and relationships today. Because of these past hurts, I acknowledge the inability to love or trust others.

I understand that forgiveness is not an emotion but an act of my will. I now choose to exercise my will to forgive others as You, Father, have forgiven me. Father, I know that You are a searcher of the heart. I ask You to search my heart. Reveal to me any hidden and secret unforgiveness or bitterness toward others that have hurt or offended me. I choose not to be ruled by a spirit of bitterness. I choose to forgive and have a spirit of peace and love in my heart. I repent, forgive and release these people right now.

I ask you, Heavenly Father, to forgive me and restore me as I forgive those who have offended me. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would bring everything to our remembrance. Dear Holy Spirit, I am asking You to bring to my remembrance anyone I have to forgive, and I will forgive them in Jesus' name. Amen.

Removing Blocks and Illusions


Lord Jesus, in obedience to Your Word, which instructs us to stand firm and resist the devil, we ask You to reveal to us all structures and entities in this place that are not grounded in truth. Shine Your light into the darkness here and make clear to us all illusions or false images created by the enemy or by our own minds, Lord Jesus, and remove them. According to Your will, lead us into all truth and protect our mind from deception so that we may serve You in all honesty, to Your glory. In Your Name Lord Jesus, the Name above all names, we ask these things, and we receive them in faith. Amen.


Renunciation Prayer


We sometimes use this prayer for those inside who come to the Light. With any renunciation prayer, it's important that it's spoken out loud so that the enemy hears it, as well as Jesus. While reading it, the dark ones around you may get angry and try to upset you. They may try to distract you, but it's important that you keep focused, don't skip any words, and keep going till you reach the end.


Dear Lord Jesus, I am coming to You to ask for Your help. You are the only all-powerful and ever-present God. You are the head over all rule and authority, and I know you came to set me free. Please protect me and guide me as I speak this prayer.

Lord Jesus, I believe You are the only Son of God. I accept your death on the cross as full payment to God the Father, for all my sins. I give my life, my self, and my body to You, Lord Jesus. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead me into all truth.

Because I have believed and confessed Jesus Christ as my Lord, I know that I am now a child of God, seated with Christ in the Heavenlies. In the name and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, I order Satan and all evil spirits to release me and remain silent in my mind.

Lord Jesus, your Word states in 1 John 5:16 that "If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death." In accordance with this, I ask You to accept my confession not only for me but on behalf of my alters as well.

Lord Jesus, I ask You to guard my heart and mind and to reveal to me any and all involvement I have had, either knowingly or unknowingly, with cultic or occulted practices, false religions, and false teachers. (Make a list of any that come to your mind). I confess any satanic or occultic rituals I participated in, as well as those done by others on my behalf, including: (mention specifically those on your list). Having confessed these things, I ask You to forgive me, Jesus.

Lord Jesus, I ask You to guard my heart and mind and to reveal to me many times when my body has been used, with or without my permission, as an instrument of unrighteousness. (Make a list of any that come to your mind). I confess that my body was used as an instrument of unrighteousness and recognize such uses as sin. I renounce these acts (mention those on your list) and ask You, Lord Jesus, to break all ties created through them and all bondages Satan has brought into my life by them. I now present my body to You, Jesus, as a living sacrifice, holy and blameless to You, and I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me.

I reject and disown all the sins of my ancestors. As one who has been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of Christ Jesus, I cancel all demonic working that has been passed on to me from my ancestors. I renounce all satanic assignments directed toward me, and I cancel every curse that Satan and his angels have put on me. I reject any and every way in which Satan or his demons may claim ownership of me. I belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, who purchased me with His own blood. I reject all other blood sacrifices, and I announce that I am eternally and completely signed over to the Lord Jesus Christ and committed to doing His will from this day forward.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I renounce every one of the above sins and any sins like them. I turn away from them all and will do them no more. I totally renounce any past or present association with Satan, his angels, or his works. I renounce any satanic rituals I may have said. I renounce all sexual immorality, all demonic assignments, all occult practices, Satanism, and any master other than the Lord Jesus Christ. I renounce all pre-marital sex and all alcohol and drug abuse. I renounce any unforgiveness or bitterness I may hold against anyone. I renounce every sin that is against a Holy God and against His beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

Heavenly Father, I thank You that You have completely forgiven me. I acknowledge that the Lord Jesus took all my guilt and punishment for me on the Cross, and there is, therefore, no condemnation for me. I again cover myself in the blood of Christ, as my protection and ask You Jesus to fill me with Your Holy Spirit, lead me into all truth and empower me to live above sin. I commit myself to the renewing of my mind in order to prove that Your will is good, perfect, and acceptable for me. All this I do in the Name and Authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.


Renounce Rebellion


Dear Heavenly Father, Your word tells me in 1 Samuel 15:23, that rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft or divination, and that stubbornness is like the sin of idolatry. At times, I have sinned against You, Heavenly Father. I sinned by going my own way and doing what I wanted to do. These actions have opened the door for the enemy to have an entrance into my life, to harass and attack me. I now confess this rebellious spirit and humbly repent. I want peace and joy in my heart. Father, I choose to have a humble and obedient spirit. I reject Satan and all his works in my life and body. I ask You, dear Holy Spirit, to reveal to me any areas Satan has gained access to or any hidden rebellion in my heart. I do not want to give Satan any legal right to harass or torment me. I here and now choose to have a humble spirit and a servant's heart. In this time of ministry, by Your grace, I will accomplish whatever You have called me to do. I choose to walk in the light, and I reject all rebellion. I CANCEL all rights the enemy claims concerning me. I claim the cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus over every area of my life and mind, in Jesus' name. Amen.


Repent of Lust & Willful Sin


Dear Heavenly Father, You have told me in Romans 13:14 to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. I acknowledge that I have given in to the temptation to gratify the desires of my flesh. I understand that lust is saying, "I must have this at once." Much of this battle is in my mind and thought life. Because of my loneliness and inner pain at times, I have entertained lustful fantasies in my mind and thoughts. This only increased the desire to gratify my flesh. I ask You, Father, to reveal to me any ways in which I have broken Your moral law and grieved the Holy Spirit.

Father, I am truly sorry. I acknowledge that all my sins are forgiven in Christ. I claim the blood of Jesus over me as my protection. I come before your presence to acknowledge these sins that I might be freed from the bondage of sin. I now confess these sins to You and claim through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ my forgiveness and cleansing. I repent and cancel all access to my life that evil spirits have gained through my willful involvement in sin. I claim the blood of Jesus over me as my protection and command them to leave me now in Jesus' name. I choose to walk by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name. Amen.


Repent for a Proud Spirit

Prayer to Repent for Having a Proud Spirit

Dear Heavenly Father, Your word says that a proud and arrogant attitude goes before stumbling. I know that You hate a proud or arrogant spirit. I want to please You, Father. I do not want to stumble or bring trouble to myself and others. I know at times, in action and attitude, I have had a proud spirit. Because of my woundedness, I believed I knew what was best for me. In the past, I tried to run my life with my own power and resources. I have looked to my own intellect, ability, and strength to solve my problems. Jesus, I have not denied myself, picked up my cross daily, and followed You. Your word tells me that it is not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit that the victory comes. I have opened the door and given Satan a place in my life because of this spirit of pride.

I now repent of this pride. I also renounce this effort to be self-sufficient and not trusting or coming to You, Heavenly Father. I now come to You, humbling myself, and put my trust in Your mercy and love. It is Your kindness that has led me to repentance. I now CANCEL all ground or openings to Satan in my life. I PROCLAIM that I am covered with the blood of Jesus. I PROCLAIM that you, Satan, have no part in me or power over me. I am a child of God, and the Holy Spirit is living within me. I hereby affirm my dependence on You, Father and the work of Your Holy Spirit. I ask You, dear Holy Spirit, for Your guidance, wisdom and power to renew my mind and walk according to the Spirit. I ask for Your grace to help me abide in Jesus and live a life pleasing to You. In Jesus' name. Amen.


Spiritual Warfare Prayer


This prayer is taken from Mark Bubeck's book The Adversary and was written by Dr. Victor Matthews and lightly edited by Neil Anderson. It is heavy, and the language and concepts may be triggering (demons, blood, satan, crucifixion, sacrifice, temple, etc.)

Heavenly Father, I bow in worship and praise before You. I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as my protection during this time of prayer. I surrender myself completely and unreservedly in every area of my life to Yourself. I do take a stand against all the workings of Satan that would hinder me in this time of prayer, and I address myself only to the true and living God and refuse any involvement of Satan in my prayer.

Satan, I command you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to leave my presence with all your demons, and I bring the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ between us.

Heavenly Father, I worship You, and I give You praise. I recognize that You are worthy to receive all glory and honor and praise. I renew my allegiance to You and pray that the blessed Holy Spirit would enable me during this time of prayer. I am thankful, Heavenly Father, that You have loved me from past eternity, that You sent the Lord Jesus Christ into this world to die as my substitute so that I would be redeemed. I am thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ came as my representative and that through Him You have completely forgiven me; You have given me eternal life; You have given me the perfect righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, so I am now justified. I am thankful that in Him You have made me complete and that You have offered Yourself to me to be my strength.

Heavenly Father, come and open my eyes so that I might see how great You are and how complete Your provision is for this new day. I do, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, take my place with Christ in the heavenly with all principalities and powers (powers of darkness and wicked spirits) under my feet. I am thankful that the victory the Lord Jesus Christ won for me on the cross and in His resurrection has been given to me and that I am seated with the Lord Jesus Christ; therefore, I declare that all principalities and powers and all wicked spirits are subject to me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am thankful for the armor You have provided, and I put on the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the sandals of peace, and the helmet of salvation. I lift up the shield of faith against all the fiery darts of the enemy, and take in my hand the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, and use Your Word against all the forces of evil in my life; and I put on this armor and live and pray in complete dependence upon You, blessed Holy Spirit.

I am grateful, Heavenly Father, that the Lord Jesus Christ spoiled all principalities and powers and made a show of them openly and triumphed over them in Himself. I claim all that victory for my life today. I reject out of my life all the insinuations, the accusations, and the temptations of Satan. I affirm that the Word of God is true, and I choose to live today in the light of God's Work. I choose, heavenly Father, though live in obedience to You and in fellowship with Yourself. Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life that would not please You. Work in my life that there be no ground to give Satan a foothold against me. Break any areas of weakness. Show me any area of my life that I must deal with so that I would please You. I do in every way today stand for You and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life.

By faith and in dependence upon You, I put off the old self and stand in all the victory of the crucifixion where the Lord Jesus Christ provided cleansing from the old nature. I put on the new self and stand in all the victory of the resurrection and the provision He has made for me to live above sin. Therefore, on this day, I put off the old nature with its selfishness, and I put on the new nature with its love. I put off the old nature with its fear, and I put on the new nature with its courage. I put off the old nature with its weakness, and I put on the new nature with its strength. I put off today the old nature with all its deceitful lusts and I put on the new nature with all its righteousness and purity.

I do in every way today stand into the victory of the ascension and the glorification of the Son of God where all principalities and powers were made subject to Him, and I claim my place in Christ victorious with Him over all the enemies of my soul. Blessed Holy Spirit, I pray that You would fill me. Come into my life, break down every idol, and cast out every foe.

I am thankful, Heavenly Father, for the expression of Your will for my daily life as You have shown me in Your Word. I, therefore, claim all the will of God for today. I am thankful that You have blessed me with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I am thankful that You have begotten me unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. I am thankful that You have made a provision so that today I can live filled with the Spirit of God with love and joy and self-control in my life. And I recognize that this is Your will for me, and I therefore reject and resist all the endeavors of Satan and of his demons to rob me of the will of God. I hold up the shield of faith against all the accusations and against all the insinuations that Satan would put in my mind.

I do, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, completely surrender myself to You, Heavenly Father, as a living sacrifice. I choose not to be conformed to this world. I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, and I pray that You would show me Your will and enable me to walk in all the fullness of the will of God today.

I am thankful, Heavenly Father, that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses, for destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and to bring every thought into obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore in my own life today I tear down the strongholds of Satan, and I smash the plans of Satan that have been formed against me. I tear down the strongholds of Satan against my mind, and I choose to think my thoughts after You, blessed Holy Spirit. I affirm, heavenly Father, that You have not given me the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I break and smash the stronghold of Satan formed against my emotions today, and I given my emotions to You. I smash the stronghold of Satan formed against my body today, and I give my body to You, recognizing that I am Your temple, and I rejoice in Your mercy and Your goodness.

Heavenly Father, I pray that You would renew me with your life; show me the way that Satan is hindering and tempting and lying and counterfeiting and distorting the truth in my life. Enable me to be the kind of person that would please You. Enable me to be aggressive in prayer. Enable me to be aggressive mentally and to think Your thoughts after You, and to give You Your rightful place in my life.

Again, I now cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that You, blessed Holy Spirit, would bring all the work of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the glorification, and all the work of Pentecost into my life today. I yield my life to You. I refuse to be discouraged. You are the God of all hope. You have proven Your power by resurrecting Jesus Christ from the dead, and I claim in every way Your victory over all satanic forces active in my life, and I reject these forces; and I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, with thanksgiving. Amen.


RENUNCIATION AFFIRMATION


I renounce and repudiate all occult involvement, hereby breaking all ties to the demonic realm of darkness. I claim every spiritual blessing that is mine in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).
I give up all occult powers, curses, and blessings, including the ability to astral travel and astral project or to receive astral, along with all abilities to summon demons. I choose to accept the limitations of my humanity and pray that God will, by His grace, strengthen me with power through His Spirit in my inner being (Ephesians 3:16).

I break all vows, covenants, contracts, oaths, pledges, commitments, agreements, dedications and/or assignments that have been made to Satan or any deity other than the Sovereign God¾ by me or by others in my behalf at any time, whether before or since birth. I rejoice that the blood of my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ has the power to break all connections to Satan and will keep me safe from any consequences of breaking these oaths (Ephesians 2:14-18). I claim His power and protection for myself.
I take back all rights to my mind, body, soul, and spirit that I have ever given to Satan or that he has taken from me against my will or that have been committed to him by others on my behalf. I give all rights to my mind, body, soul, and spirit to My Holy and Righteous God, Who has and will cleanse me and keep me blameless until the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24).
I renounce all passivity that gives demonic beings any ground to control me or any part of me. I choose to trust Yahweh to equip me to use all my faculties of my spirit and soul (mind, will, and emotions) in cooperation with the Holy Spirit of Yahweh.
I break any generational core of evil and all ungodly bonds from past generations, prohibiting them from regressing to previous generations, moving sideways to siblings or cousins, or progressing to future generations, especially my children born now or yet to be born. I claim the eternal redemption provided for me by the blood of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:11-14).
I break all ties resulting from sexual encounters or wedding ceremonies, including those of the body, soul (including mind and emotions), and spirit. Name specific people as the Holy Spirit brings them to mind. Since I am bought with the price of the blood of Jesus, I claim my body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and choose to abstain from all sexual immorality and sexual relations outside the bonds of God-ordained marriage (1 Corinthians 6:12-20).

I ask the Sovereign God to break and nullify the power of all rituals, hexes, curses, seals, blood ties, body fluid ties, and sacrifices, animal or human (whether someone else’s baby or mine) so that they have no further binding effect on me in either the physical or the spiritual world. Since the Lord Jesus Christ shared in my humanity and has destroyed the devil’s power over death, I claim my freedom to live free from condemnation and free from slavery to the fear of death (Romans 8:1; Hebrews 2:14-15).
I command all ungodly bloodlines and blood ties, inheritances and legacies, curses and blessings, bondages, and any ties to spirits shared with any other person to be broken and not reconnected. I ask the true and living Lord Jesus Christ, who has ascended far above all principalities and powers, to sever with the sword of the Spirit all silver, gold, or bronze (or any other color of the rainbow) cords that bind me to any cult, person, or demonic entity. I ask the Sovereign God to declare all cords or other ties null, void, powerless, and of no further binding effect in both the physical and the spiritual worlds. I ask Him to seal all of these areas with the blood of the true Lord Jesus Christ so that I will no longer be vulnerable to occult control. I ask Him to bind the power of all demonic entities assigned or commissioned to carry out these generational aspects.

[See 2 Chronicles 18 for the concept of shared spirits.]

I take my stand with the full armor of God against all the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms and, by prayer, claim the victory over all the devil’s schemes (Ephesians 6:10-18). As one who has received the Lord Jesus Christ (Yeshua) as my Savior by believing in His name, I claim my rights as a child of the living God (Yahweh) and choose to rejoice that I am accepted in His Beloved Son and am now part of the family of God (John 1:12-13).

I break the power of the secrets and all spirits associated with punishing me for speaking the truth. I openly give all secrets to the true Lord Jesus, along with all shame, embarrassment, humiliation, and fear, believing that the truth has/will set me free (John 8:32).

I reclaim rights given to or taken by Lucifer/Satan. I choose to give all such rights to my Lord Jesus Christ.

I renounce allegiance to Lucifer, Luciferianism, Satan or Satanism, witchcraft, the Illuminati, Freemasons, any lodge or secret society, or and ask my Lord Jesus Christ to break the power of any curses attached to me for leaving, breaking association with them, or by anything I promised or did or that was said or done to me or for me. I freely give all authority over myself to the LORD Jesus Christ in dependence upon the power of the Holy Spirit and acknowledge that I am a part of the universal body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-13).

I ask my Lord Jesus Christ to bind all demons, legions, and networks so they cannot interfere with the work that the true God wants to do. I command that any and all communication towers associated with me or in any way connected to me be brought to conscious awareness and/or destroyed, preserving any human part of me contained therein. I acknowledge the authority of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ over all principalities and spiritual powers of whatever rank. In His name, I command that they are to be bound up as one and not allowed to split. They are also to stand apart from any aspect of my being so I and many aspects of my being who remain can choose for themselves. I choose to believe that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to My LORD Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).
I renounce the wrong belief/lie that I am unable to choose truth and be free of demonic control over me. I believe that when the Son sets me free, I am free indeed (John 8:36). I affirm that I am choosing to cooperate with Yahweh’s Holy Spirit to use my body, soul, and Spirit to adore, worship, and willingly love, obey and serve the true Yahweh God.

I renounce allegiance to any ungodly being either within or without, including the father, daddy, and anyone who has falsely given the name of God, Master, Christ, or Jesus. In any and all aspects of my being, I renounce all vows and allegiances to Lucifer/Satan and/or the false trinity or extremity of the beast, false prophet, and the antichrist. Should any of these or any other idol or false deity be present anywhere in my body, soul or spirit or hidden in any dimensions or so-called astral planes in or around me or any aspect of my being, I command you to either manifest and state your ground for being present, or leave and go immediately to the feet of the True Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth to be punished and disposed of as He chooses. I give full and unreserved allegiance to the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, whose name is above every name and at whose name every knee will bow and confess that He is LORD (Philippians 3:9-11). I declare that my undivided allegiance is to the true Holy Creator God, the FATHER and His Son the true LORD JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth, The LORD of LORDS and KING of KINGS, and to the HOLY SPIRIT one with and coequal with the FATHER and the SON.

I confess that I am not under condemnation (Romans 8:1) and will overcome Satan by dependence upon the sufficiency of the blood of Christ, by openly declaring what God has done for me and by choosing to love God enough to overcome the fear of death (Revelation 12:10).

RENUNCIATION AND AFFIRMATION


I confess and repent of all my sins which have given ground to Satan and his forces at any time in any way, in any and all parts of my being. As a child of God, purchased by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, I here and now renounce and repudiate all the sins of my ancestors. As one who has been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son, I cancel in the Name of the Lord Jesus all demonic working which has been passed on to me from my ancestors. In His same holy name I cancel any demonic working upon me through any other person and likewise cut off by the finger of God any psychic soul force from any person whatsoever from working on me, in me or through me. I cancel in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ any ground I or others have given, concerning all aspects of my being, to Satan and his forces at any time in any way . I forgive all others as I want God to forgive me. As one who has been crucified with Jesus Christ and raised up to walk in the newness of life, I cancel in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ every curse that has been put upon me. I announce to Satan and all his forces that Christ became a curse for me when He hung upon the Cross. As one who has been crucified and raised with Christ and now sits with Him in heavenly places, I renounce in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ any and every way in which Satan and his forces may claim ownership of any and all parts of me. I declare myself to be completely and eternally signed over and committed to the Lord Jesus Christ. I renounce Satan and all his works, and I confess Jesus Christ as my Savior, Lord and Master. I choose that Jesus Christ is Lord of my entire being, and any and all aspects of my being, and with all that is within me, I bless His Holy Name. All of this I do in the Name and Authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, applying all of this to myself and all aspects of my being, until forever (Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13, Galatians 2:20, Romans 6:4, Galatians 3:13, Ephesians 2:5-6, Ps. 103.1-22).





For heads of households and those in positions of spiritual leadership: As head of my household, I choose to assume my biblical role as spiritual head over my wife ______ and children ________ and anyone else _____who has come under my the umbrella of my divinely appointed spiritual authority. I address all forces of darkness and command that nothing is to come against any of them which does not first come through me. I further announce to the realm of Satan and his demons that nothing is to come to me, either directly or indirectly, which does not come by express permission of my head, the Lord Jesus Christ. In taking my place of spiritual leadership, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring any and all grounds for spiritual attack—in my life or in the life of my family—to conscious knowledge that they might be confessed, renounced, and forsaken.

For those under spiritual authority: I put myself under the spiritual authority of _______, who is my earthly spiritual head, and announce to the realm of darkness that nothing is to come into my life which does not come first through ______ (my spiritual head).

I ask the Holy Spirit to bring any and all grounds for the spiritual attack to conscious knowledge, and I choose to repent of any sins, attitudes, or habits, including criticism of my head, which takes me out from under his spiritual authority.



Prayer for Cleansing from

Bitter Root Judgments and Bitter Root Expectancies


In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I confess and repent of all my bitter root judgments and bitter root expectancies of my father and mother and all other persons, including those I remember and those I don't remember. I cancel every one of them and destroy by the finger of the Living God all curses and effects thereof. In their place, I bless all those involved with every blessing that I can give, setting them free from all my judgments and condemnations in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I honor my father and mother to the extent God’s will permits—in every area of my life. I cancel all inner vows that I have ever made contrary to the will of my Heavenly Father and destroy the curses and effects thereof, replacing them with that which blesses all involved. I bring to the cross for crucifixion all attitudes, habits, practices, and consequences coming from all of the above, reckoning them as dead on the cross when Christ died. I choose to hate all my sins enough to give them up no matter what His cost shall be according to His will and through the Christ who strengthens me. I confess and repent of all wrongful judging coming from an impure heart involving blame, condemnation, anger, envy, jealousy, bitterness, and all wrongful motives. I replace them with all the blessings that I can give in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I ask God to forgive me wherever I have sown wrongful thoughts, words, and actions and to spare me from reaping therefrom insofar as His will permits and redeem all the rest. I forgive my father and mother and all others, asking that anything of which I am not aware be brought to my mind by the Holy Spirit. I pray God's richest blessing on all who have wronged me. I cancel all parental inversion that has taken place in my life and all bondage to performance orientation. I repent of and cancel all my sinful attitudes and practices not included in the above. I replace them with the love of God and His holy will for myself and all involved. Anything not included in the above that should be, I do now include in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Anything not prayed correctly, I ask the Holy Spirit to complete as necessary in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whose Name all of this is done for the honor and glory of God.

I ask You, Lord Jesus Christ, to come here now and take me and all aspects of myself into your loving arms. I ask you to show me the lies that I have believed regarding any sins done to me or which I have chosen to commit. I ask you, my heavenly Father, to replace these lies with truth, giving forgiveness, cleansing, healing, comfort, and full, complete, and permanent deliverance from both the lies I have believed and any and all grounds given to Satan or his demonic forces. Fully redeem all the above failures and preserve me from repeating the same. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

In every case where there is a specific memory of the wrong, it should be specifically mentioned in the prayer.

As new memories surface, they should be included in this prayer.

Prayer of Renunciation of the Mormon Church



Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, your Son. I admit that I was involved in false teachings in the Mormon Church and ask for your forgiveness. Thank you for your blood that cleanses and sanctifies me. Thank you for your word that is the truth and that the truth sets me free.

I renounce my faith in the book of Mormon, compiled by Joseph Smith, based on a meeting with the angel Moroni. I admit that I have sinned by adding this book to the word of God. I renounce my belief that this book of Mormon is the verification and witness of the Bible, and I sever myself from all of Joseph Smith’s false teachings. I renounce the two prince spirits that rule over the Mormon Church, namely Moroni and Manasseh. I cut myself loose from these two spirits in the name of Jesus.

I renounce the teaching that the Godhead is three separate units.

I renounce the teaching that God has a body of flesh and is thus limited to one place at a specific time.

I renounce the teaching that Jesus is the first born of God’s children and that His position as God is attributed only to His obedience.

I renounce the teaching that Jesus’ work of reconciliation is not for the salvation of souls but to save earth from death.

I renounce the teaching that Jesus died only for Adam’s sin.

I renounce the teaching that our sins can only be washed away through baptism.

I renounce the teaching that The Holy Spirit is limited to one place at a specific time only.

I renounce the teaching that the Holy Spirit is the purest and most refined of all substances, a godly liquid.

I renounce the teaching that every person is a god over his spiritual subordinates.

I confess that God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one, although they function as separate personalities. I confess that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. His sacrifice was perfect and complete! I renounce the teaching that the fall of man has no effect on mankind and that every person will pay only for his own sin.

I renounce the teaching that the fall of man brought eternal joy and happiness. I admit that according to the work of God, we are conceived and born in sin and that without repentance, the wages of sin is death.

I renounce the book of Mormon as false scripture, and I renounce my belief that this book is the verification and witness of the Bible. Father, your word declares in Rev. 22:18-19 that cursed is the person who adds, takes away, or cancels your word. I now ask your forgiveness for these practices and ask you to release me from the following curses:

· That you will lay upon me the plagues, afflictions, and calamities recorded in the book of Revelation

· That You will cancel and take away from me my share in the tree of life

· That You will cancel and take away from me eternal life in the city of holiness.

Thank you for setting me free and for breaking these curses over my life. I sever myself from all of Joseph Smith’s false teachings. I declare that I have eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ and that I can partake of the tree of life.

Furthermore I renounce my baptismal covenants and all priesthood blessings I received. As a former temple Mormon I renounce all temple oaths and covenants that I have made. I also renounce the temple marriages as sin. I renounce my patriarchal blessings as the sin of mediumship.

Using the sword of the Spirit, I now cut myself off from the strongmen:

Mormo, God of the ghouls and the dead
The spirit of Moroni
The spirit of priestcraft
The spirit of bishopric
The religious spirit
The false prophet in the heavenlies
The perverse spirit
The spirit of error
The spirit of confusion
The spirit of whoredoms
Spirits of lies and deception
The seducing spirit
All doctrines of demons
The spirit of divination
The beguiling spirits
The spirit of mind control and occult mind control
The spirit of the false Christs and the anti Christ
All familiar spirits

In the might and all-conquering name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Amen!

I renounce the teaching that through baptism, I receive eternal life. I renounce the lie that the living may be baptized on behalf of the dead. I confess that baptism by submission is a step of obedience and not a requirement for salvation.

I renounce the teaching that there is the highest heaven where the most exemplary believers shall live and reign over the other believers in the same relationship that God the Father has with us. I renounce believing that there is second heaven where backslidden believers, those who did not accept God and those who did not abide by the law, shall live. I renounce believing that there is a place (perdition) prepared only for Satan, His fallen angels, and those who committed unforgivable sins.

I confess that there is a hell where Satan, His fallen angels, and those who did not accept Jesus Christ will stay for eternity. I confess that there is a heaven where the saved souls shall live until God has created the new earth and New Jerusalem.

I renounce the principle of bigamy and polygamy and the implication that the number of wives is an indication of the level of spirituality. (The more wives, the greater his reward in paradise!) I renounce the teaching that no woman can obtain heavenly splendor without her husband; likewise, can no man obtain it without having at least one wife.

I renounce the two principal councils that form the church, namely Aaron’s priesthood and the order of Melchizedek. I acknowledge that God’s word teaches that every believer is a priest, a prophet and a king. I renounce the sin of priestcraft. (Males only)

I sever myself from the Mormon Church in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord. I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony! (Rev. 12:11) I confess that I have been involved in false teachings, and I ask forgiveness for worshipping demon spirits.

I further renounce every teaching of the church of the Latter-Day Saints, because it is a false religion. I renounce Joseph Smith as a false prophet.

PRAYER OF RELEASE FOR MASONS & THEIR DESCENDANTS

A 2002 Version

If you or someone you love is a descendant of a Mason, I recommend that you pray through the following prayer from your heart. Don't be like the Masons, who are given their obligations and oaths one line at a time and without prior knowledge of the requirements. First, bind spirits of deception, antichrist, witchcraft, and death in the name of Jesus Christ. Then read it through so you know what is involved. It is best to pray this aloud with a Christian witness or counselor present. We suggest a brief pause following each paragraph to allow the Holy Spirit to show any additional issues that may require attention.

Father God, creator of heaven and earth, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. I come as a sinner seeking forgiveness and cleansing from all sins committed against You, and others made in your image. I honor my earthly father and mother and all of my ancestors of flesh and blood and by adoption, but I utterly turn away from and renounce all their sins. I forgive all my ancestors for the effects of their sins on my children and me. I confess and renounce all of my own sins. I renounce Satan and all of his works in my family and me.

I renounce and forsake all involvement in Freemasonry or any other lodge or craft by my ancestors and myself. I renounce witchcraft, the principal spirit behind Freemasonry, and I renounce Baphomet, the Spirit of Antichrist, and the curse of the Luciferian doctrine. I renounce the idolatry, blasphemy, secrecy, and deception of Masonry at every level. I specifically renounce the insecurity, the love of position and power, the love of money, covetousness, and greed, and the pride/arrogance that would have led my ancestors into Masonry. I renounce all the fears that held them in Masonry, especially the fears of death, fears of men, and fears of trusting, in the name of Jesus Christ.

I renounce every position held in the lodge by any of my ancestors, including Tyler, Master, Worshipful Master, or any other. I renounce the calling of any man Master, for Jesus Christ is my only Master and Lord, and He forbids anyone else having that title. I renounce the entrapping of others into Masonry, and observing the helplessness of others during the rituals. I renounce the effects of Masonry passed on to me through any female ancestor who felt distrusted and rejected by her husband as he entered and attended any lodge and refused to tell her of his secret activities.

• The G, which the lower degree Masons are told represents geometry or the Great Architect of the Universe (who upper degree Masons learn is Lucifer) but actually can stand for whatever god one chooses, and in books for the upper degrees means "Generating Principal" (phallus);
• The Blazing Star, actually symbolizes various pagan gods and witchcraft;
• The obelisk, which symbolizes a phallus or penis as an emblem of resurrection (but not Christian resurrection);
• The mark in the form of squares and angles which marks the person for life;
• The point within a circle, which the first three degrees of Masons are taught represents the individual Mason inside the bounds of Masonic duty, but which is revealed to the upper level Mason to represent the sexual union of Osiris and Isis, signifying the prolific powers of nature;
• The Masonic square and compass which likewise represents the sex act;
• The Apron, a symbol of the Masonic belief that salvation must be earned which is a direct violation of Scripture;
• The jewel or talisman that may have been made from this mark sign and worn at lodge meetings;
• The Shriner's fez, which celebrates the Muslim massacre of 50,000 Christians in the Moroccan city of Fez;
• and all others.
I renounce all allegiances to individuals or organizations that are in conflict with the primary allegiance of my life, Jesus Christ, as revealed in God's word, the Bible. I ask God to cut off all these curses and their effects on my family and me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray for the healing of any area where healing is needed by any of us.

I renounce all the other oaths taken by any of my ancestors or me, the rituals and the curses of every other lodge, degree and order involved in Freemasonry anywhere in the world. These include, in part. Prince Hall Masonry (the lodge structure for American Blacks), the Allied Degrees, the Grand Orient Lodges of France, Italy, Central and South America, the Red Cross of Constantine, the Order of the Secret Monitor, the Masonic Royal Order of Scotland, the Order of Amaranth, and the women's Orders of the Eastern Star, of the Ladies Oriental Shrine, and of the White Shrine of Jerusalem; the girls' Orders of the Daughters of the Eastern Star, the International Orders of Job's Daughters and of the Rainbow; and the boys' Order of De Molay,

I renounce involvement by any of my ancestors or me in all other secret societies with ties to Masonry, such as, Mormonism, the Royal Order of Jesters, the Manchester Unity Order of Oddfellows, the Independent Order of Oddfellows and its women's auxiliary called the International Association of Rebekah Assemblies, Buffaloes, Druids, Foresters, Orange, Elks, Moose and Eagles Lodges, the Ku Klux Klan, the White Supremacy Movement, the Grange, the Woodmen of the World, Riders of the Red Robe, the Knights of Pythias, the Mystic order of the Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, and their effects on me and all my family.

I renounce the All-Seeing Third Eye of Freemasonry, or Horus, in the forehead and the obelisk and their pagan and occult symbolism. I renounce all false communions taken, all mockery of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, all unbelief, confusion and depression, and all worship of Lucifer as God. I renounce and forsake the lie of Freemasonry that man is not sinful, but just imperfect, and so can redeem himself through good works. I rejoice that the Bible states that I cannot do a single thing to earn my salvation, but that I can only be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and what He accomplished on the cross of Calvary.

Father God, I repent of and seek forgiveness for the sins committed by my ancestors and me
• of walking on unholy ground, including Freemasonry, Mormon, occult and pagan property dedicated to the worship of false gods;
• for the sin of idolatry committed by my ancestors and me of looking to anyone or anything other than the one true Savior, Jesus Christ, for salvation, rescue, protection, or provision;
• for all subversion of justice practiced by the Freemasons or any other organization to which my ancestors or I belonged;
• for the collaboration of the Freemasons in the satanic conspiracy to rule the world.
Father God, I confess to You that when my ancestors and I complained against You we gave Satan a legal right to put the Destroyer in our bloodlines. And when we rebelled against You and rejected Your rightful place as our God, we gave Satan a legal right to deceive us with all the gods of the gentiles. Some of us committed the sin of idolatry by joining Freemasonry. Even if they (we) joined Freemasonry ignorant of its true nature, we are nevertheless guilty of all of its sins. I acknowledge your justice in putting a curse on our bloodlines for this sin and the many sins that followed either by commission or by allegiance to the organization committing the sins. These sins include, in addition to those already confessed, all of the atrocities of satanic ritual abuse practiced at secret levels of Freemasonry: blasphemous rituals, blood sacrifices, animal and human sacrifices, sexual sacrifices, rape, bestiality, sexual immorality, illegitimate births, breeding babies for the purpose of sacrificing them, torture, murder, violence, and mind control (by ElectroVoltOverLoad), withholding normal love, soul shattering, torture, programming and demonization of infants and children, plus any others.

Thank You for Your mercy toward me when you called me to yourself and gave me faith to believe in Your Son Jesus' atonement for me on the cross. He was made a curse for me so that I no longer have to live under any curse. I ask You, Father God, in the name of Jesus, to forgive all of this generational iniquity in my bloodlines and cleanse it away so the curses do not come down to me or to my children to a thousand generations. I ask You, Jesus, to cleanse my body, soul, and spirit and to deliver me of all the effects of this generational iniquity.

Now dear Father God, I ask humbly for the blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son, to cleanse me from all these sins I have confessed and renounced, to cleanse my spirit, soul and every part of my body, which has been effected by these sins, in Jesus name!
Lord Jesus, I ask You to destroy the spiritual equivalents of the physical objects used in Masonry that I now symbolically remove and give to You:
• the hoodwink (a blindfold)
• the veil of mourning
• the mail around the neck
• the Masonic sandals
• the noose, which I cut from around the neck and gather together with the cable-tow running down the body
• the ring of the false Freemasonry marriage covenant, which I renounce, from the ring finger of the right hand or the middle finger of the right hand.
• The chains and bondages of Freemasonry on the body
• the ball and chains from the ankles
• all Freemasonry effects, regalia and armor, especially the apron
• all KKK or other secret organization regalia
I renounce every evil spirit associated with Masonry and witchcraft and all other sins and, in the name of Jesus Christ, I command Satan's evil spirits to be bound up into one, leaving nothing of evil remaining, and to leave me now, touching or banning no one, and to go to the place appointed for you by the Lord Jesus, never to return to me or my family. I claim the promise of God's word that whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be delivered. Jesus, I ask to be delivered of every spirit of sickness, infirmity, curse, affliction, addiction, disease or allergy associated with these sins that I have confessed and renounced and I ask You to heal me and my family of all effects they have had.

I surrender to God's Holy Spirit and to no other spirit all the places in my life where these sins have effected me. I ask You, Lord, to fill me with (and baptize me in) Your Holy Spirit now according to the promises in Your word. I take to myself the whole armor of God promised in Ephesians 6 and rejoice in its protection as Jesus surrounds me with His Holy Spirit. I enthrone You in my heart. Lord Jesus, for You are my Lord and Savior, and my source of eternal life. Thank You, Father God, for Your mercy, Your forgiveness and Your love, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Description: Goddess of both Celtic and Roman Gaul. After Rome conquered the region, Rosmerta was taken into the local Roman pantheon where she became a consort of their god Mercury. She is depicted carrying a Caduceus wand, which indicates she was adept in the healing arts. In Celtic Gaul, her images are confused, and she is considered to be a goddess of either water or the sun, which is indicative that she may have been associated with hot springs.

Sul
Other names: Sulla, Sulis, Sulevia

Description: Goddess of hot springs whose sacred waters were always hot. Prince Bladud built a shrine to her near Aquae Sulis where the popular modern-day spa is located. The waters were once thought to hold powerful healing magic, and a perpetual fire was burned near them in her honor. She is depicted in bas-reliefs with a foot of an owl, and wearing a hat made of the head of a bear. Later the Romans adopted her and called her Sul Minerva, a deity associated with IMBOLC and Ireland’s Brigit.

Lady of the Lake
Location: Wales, Britain

Description: To some she is a faery woman, to others she is a potent deity of life, death and regeneration. She was possessor of the Sword Excaliber (called Caliburn in Brittany), the magical blade given to King Arthur. A sovereign goddess, it is this act of taking the offered sword which grants Arthur the right to rule, and it is she who claims the blade again when his role as sacrificial king must be fulfilled.

The Bretons claim she was a Breton addition to the Arthurian legends and that she never appeared in the original Welsh versions of the myths. Contradictory to the “sword in the churchyard stone” stories, the Breton version tells us that Merlin and Arthur rowed out to the center of Dosmary Lake in Cornwall and that is was there that Excalibur was presented to him, the sword embedded in a floating stone. When he pulled it out, it was an act of reversal of the Great Rite, separating the female and male concepts of creation, which were not to be united again until Arthur’s death.

The Lady of the Lake is also said to have been the foster mother of Sir Lancelot, one of Arthur’s knight, also a Breton addition to the tale. She is pictured sitting on a throne of reeds in the center of the lakes depths. Among her many “magical” credits is that of healer. She is associated with the crane, water lilies and marble.

Rules over: Purification, healing, great rite, any other magical acts associated with the feminine elements.

I renounce, reject and repent of any ties, heritage, and anything else that would keep me bound to and honoring the Lady of the Lake.

I renounce, reject and repent of believing the lies Arthurian tales.

I renounce, reject and repent of performing any rituals or allowing rituals to be done on my behalf that would keep me bound to paganism.

Steps for dealing with a client whose part(s) might be in another dimension from Dr. Tom Hawkins.

1. Pray and ask God to separate out any part of the client that might be caught in another dimension. Bind any celestial beings that are interfering in the process. Then ask the Lord Jesus to locate that part for your client.
(I have included at the end of this document a sample prayer for using in a session with a client.)

2. When you have located the dissociative part, find out from the part: Why is he out there? Why did he leave the body?

-Look for:
a. Inner vows or bitter roots
b. Any kind of trauma experience that might also be keeping the part trapped
c. Any other basis for dissociation

3. When the part(s) comes back to the client:
a. Cleanse the part of any demonic attachments or entanglements first
b. Get the part to promise not to go away again

4. Finally, when you have rescued all parts and cleansed them of demonics, then ask God to close and seal the astral porthole. Also at this time you should cast out any spirits that have been bond and set aside by The LORD JESUS CHRIST.

A Sample Stripping Down Prayer for Parts that are caught in the Dimensions

Most High and Holy God I petition you on behalf of _________ that You separate out any part of ________ humanity caught in the dimensions and/or heavenly realms from all celestial beings and that You bind these beings, set them aside, and that You prevent them from interfering in anyway with this ministry time. Dear Heavenly Father, I also ask that you prevent these celestial beings from tormenting, harassing, intimidating, or retaliating against _________ or his family or me and my family.

I ask, Dear Heavenly Father, that you bind all lower level evil spirits, setting them aside so that they cannot interfere with this ministry time in this dimension or any other dimension in the heavenly realm.

Now, based on my delegated authority from the TRUE LORD JESUS CHRIST, I bind all evil spiritual beings--all rulers, all the authorities, all powers of this dark world and all spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms-that have set their wills against ________. In the name and authority of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, based on His shed blood and His resurrection power, I command that all such spiritual forces are to be bound up into one, to be separated from every part of the person, whether these parts are perceived to be in the body or trapped in the dimensions. I also command these dark angels not to transfer power to any other spirits or call for reinforcements and they are to remain bound until they are dismissed.

Furthermore, based on Ecclesiastics 12, in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST I forbid any evil spirit in any dimension from severing the "silver cord," or breaking the "golden bowl" before God's appointed time for the "pitcher" to be shattered at the spring, or the "wheel" to be broken at the well.

Thank you, LORD JESUS for your loving kindness. Come and be our guest in this ministry time. You revealed in Luke 4 that you were sent to proclaim freedom for the prisoners, to recover sight for the blind, and to release the oppressed. Will you come and free, recover, and release all parts of _________ that are being held by dark forces in any dimension?

Now, Dear LORD JESUS, I ask you to show _______ where in the dimensions a part (or parts) of _______ humanity might be?




Praying a Hedge for Children


In our struggle against evil we are dealing with spiritual powers. Therefore we must put on the whole armor of God and stand against the attacks of the wicked one. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds: (2 Cor. 10:4).

One powerful weapon that every Christian parent(s) has is to pray a daily hedge of protection around each child. Job did this and Satan complained about its effectiveness against him: "Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side…(Job 1:10).

There are three parts to the pray for a hedge:

First, ask God to bind and rebuke the power of Satan in the life of each one in your family. Be mighty through God to pull down strongholds. "No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man…(Mark 3:27).

Second, pray in the name and through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:13). Christ’s name is Protector, the Good Shepherd that gives His life for His sheep.

Third, claim the Scripture that relates to the kind of protection that is needed. For example: protection from sin, "For sin shall not have dominion over you…"(Romans 6:14); protection from discouragement, "…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5).

Heavenly Father, I ask you in the Name and through the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to bind and rebuke Satan, and to put a hedge of protection around me and each one in my family, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you (us) will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6). In the Name of Jesus our Shepherd, Amen."

Binding and Loosing on Earth

What Means to Binding and Loosing on Earth?

Website: https://www.touchofgod.org
Join us for prayer and intercession

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. --Matthew 16:19; 18:18

“Binding” and “loosing” were standard terms used by the Rabbis in biblical times. When the rabbis “bound” something, they “forbade” it, and when they “loosed” something, they “permitted” it.

The religious leaders were required to “bind” and “loose” activities in the congregation that were not explicitly included in the Law of Moses.

Let's look at Forgiveness and Unforgiveness as binding and losing.

When a person refuses to forgive another, they bind them to themselves. Not only that, heaven is bound, and God cannot move on your behalf. If we decide to forgive a person who has sinned against us without getting any kind of restitution from him, we “lose” (permit) him to live as if the sin had not happened.

Just before Matthew 18:18, verses 15 through 17, it's referring to forgiveness and unforgiveness. 15 "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother."

16 "But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established."

17 "And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."

Because of stubbornness and hardness of heart, the man or the one who won't forgive is no longer welcome in our congregation; we “bind” (forbid) him to continue his life with no consequences.

In the gospel of John, ” Jesus said, “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven by God (John 20:23). A leader can't run a congregation without making decisions about “binding” and “losing.”

When a person refuses to forgive another and wants to get even, he is bound to that other person, and God is blocked to turn it around. It takes our right hearts to make it right. When we refuse to forgive, we are bound to that other person, but heaven is bound - the heavens become like brass. Have you ever had a time when you refused to forgive and felt separated from God? His word is evident if we do not forgive, he will not forgive us. We are bound to darkness and not walking in the light.

The enemy has the right to torment you according to Matthew 18: 34 "And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him."

Right after binding and losing, verses 21 through 35 deal with unforgiveness. Peter asked Jesus in verse 21 how often he should forgive him. Jesus answered and said in verse 23 "but, Until seventy times seven."

None of us deserved to be forgiven of our sins, but only through the blood of Christ was it possible. So, when a person refuses to forgive, that person is going against the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The New Testament clearly teaches that a minister of the Gospel has power over demon spirits. However, in the New Testament, Jesus, Peter, Paul, or any other minister never “bind” or “lose” a demon spirit. Remember, in the culture, binding and losing referred to things, not people or demon spirits.

In Luke 11:20, "it is the finger of God who delivers the demonic. We are only the vessel to remove the demonic in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazarath—he has given us authority only through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We must realize that the only effective authority we have over demons is the authority that God gives us, which we will know by revelation. When dealing with demons, every minister of the Gospel must be cautious in walking by revelation and guidance from God and not stepping over into ministering out of the flesh.

In Conclusion, we do not bind or lose demons or spiritual warfare. It has to do with people. Not only do we forgive others, but we are commanded to forgive ourselves. Jesus said in Matthew 22:36-38 - 36 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

In another way of saying it, if you don't forgive others, yourself, or God, you are binding demon spirits to yourself - as stated earlier in Matthew 18, the servant was thrown into a dungeon of torment - that means he was bound up with torment. Only when you forgive do you lose the demonic forces assigned to you?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment."

Do you harbor unforgiveness toward others, yourself, or God? Isn't it time to find peace and let go of tormenting spirits and separation?

Be careful about making vows and oaths for anyone since they are also binding.

In the New Testament, our Lord taught that every commitment and promise was to be as binding as a vow.

Oath – Hebrew shbuw`ah (sheb-oo-aw) oath, sworn, a curse from the word shaba (shaw-bah ) sware, charge, oath.

Vow - Hebrew neder (neh'-der) vow, votive offering from nadar (naw-dar) vow, make a vow.

Matthew 5:33-37 33 "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you swear by your head because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

From the above verses, we can see that vows lay a trap for us in creating a burden that we, in our weakness and finiteness, cannot keep. Vows and Oaths can bind you to actions in the future, and the future is something over which we have little or no control. Breaking a vow can result in judgment (James) and the destruction of the work of our hands (Ecclesiastes).

James 5:12 But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No," lest you fall into judgment.

Ecclesiastes 5: 1-7 1 Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore, let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words. 4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed- 5 Better not to vow than to vow and not pay. 6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse[a] and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For there is also vanity in the multitude of dreams and many words. But fear God.

We may make a vow that depends on the actions of another person, and that person may act in such a way to make fulfilling the vow impossible. That is why an oath and vow can be binding to a promise that cannot be kept. It can bring harm, especially if the other person cannot keep the vow or oath, and can ruin relationships. That is why it should only be made to God.

The biblical principle is that promises to God must be fulfilled - even at significant cost and because we are fallen and finite, it is better not to make such promises.

In the Old Testament, the Priest was the only one who could break the vow or oath over a person who could not fulfill it.

In Numbers 30, it states that immature people (or even adult women without the approval of their husbands) could not make independent vows that God would bind. In fact, the As or father had a right to disallow his wife's or children's vows, meaning losing them from the vow or oath. Would not our heavenly Father also disallow vows made by us that are contrary to the expressed wishes of His biblical revelation?

Spirit of Heaviness and Oppression

Spirit of Heaviness


What is the Spirit of Heaviness


Isaiah 61:1-3 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."

Heaviness means " somewhat dark 5, darkish 1, wax dim 1, smoking 1, heaviness 1; 9 dim, dull, colorless, be dark, faint:". It is a word used in the bible to describe:

The Effect of a Spirit of Heaviness or spirit of oppression

It darkens our countenance: Our hearts are downcast. This spirit brings a "heaviness" over us..

It dims our vision, robs our hope. The room may actually look darker.

It brings a heavy, oppressive feeling. It quenches our faith.

It may come over many at once, like a plague. It can be like a cloud, hanging over you or even a place.

It causes us to isolate, it steals our love, makes us feel alone steal our purpose, and shuts us down.

How do you get free from heaviness and oppression?

You have to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness is wisdom. A spirit of Heaviness and oppression produces deep depression and a person might not be able to get free from the heaviness and will need deliverance from a deliverance ministry.

Depression or "heaviness" is a "spirit." When we are unaware of the devil's schemes and the way to fight them, the result can be "a spirit of heaviness" that can paralyze us emotionally and steal our purpose and calling by shutting us down. How does he do that? Did you have dreams or goals that were unfulfilled? Many times the enemy comes to accuse or point out that God has failed us. That is a lie from the pit of hell, but that is how the demonic spirits - accuse God.

Or maybe you've had a loss suddenly from a loved one you cared about and are stuff in ungodly sorrow and grief? There is a time to grieve, but there is a time to get past the grief. If you are still grieving and dealing with a spirit of heaviness or oppression for over a year, then you are dealing with a Spirit of Heaviness.

The answer for a "spirit of heaviness" is the "garment of praise." Satan hates praise. Praise exalts Jesus no matter what the situation or circumstances are. It is putting our trust in him and, through praise activates our faith to trust in him regardless of what the circumstances look like at the moment. You see, praise ushers in light and life into our circumstances. It is the ultimate act of faith.

2 Corinthians 3:17 "The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

Galatians 5:1 " Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."

John 8:36 " Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."

Only through Christ Jesus of Nazareth is their freedom in Him. He came to heal the brokenhearted from pain, deep sorrows, loss, grief, depression, unhappiness, discontentment, etc. Jesus experienced all these emotions, especially rejection from his people. He came to give us life and he was rejected for our transgressions.

Discontentment is rooted in Envy and Jealousy of others. You are looking at what others have and not able to focus on what God has given you and the enemy is robbing you of joy and peace in Him.

Jesus chose the path of being human to experience all of the human emotions in life so that he can relate to us and as his word says, do intercession for us.

Hebrews 7:25 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

We do have an adversary - the devil and his demons and in every situation in our lives, Satan seeks to discredit God and get our eyes off Him. One of the surest signs that he has succeeded is a lack of praise and joy in our lives. Praise is so critical foundation in our lives that keeps the devil from oppressing and deceiving us. Praise is also a powerful force that repels a spirit of heaviness from our presence (Psalm 149:6) and ushers us into the presence of God (Psalms 22:3 and 100:4)

In learning to overcome depression, we not only need to realize the devil's desire to assault us with a "spirit of heaviness," but we must also realize how important our confession is in defeating him. The words we speak with our mouths are very important. If our words are filled with discouragement and darkness, we have paved the way for forces of darkness to either begin or continue to oppress us. However, if our words are filled with hope, faith, and praise for God, we have opened the door for God to flood our lives with His light and power.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21

Jesus said, "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give an account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37

Through prayer and proclamations of truth and praise, we have complete authority over every spirit of darkness and over the Spirit of Heaviness and Oppression. Don't let or allow the devil or his demons to harass you regardless of how you feel. Stand up and praise the Lord even when you don't feel like it. Find something to be thankful for. Thankfulness is another form of praise Giving God Praise and Glory in the midst of our situations or circumstances. It helps you keep your eyes on God and not on the world and helps you be content when the enemy wants you to become discontent in the things of God and make you believe God is not really for you. Sounds familiar! Didn't he do this to Eve?

You see praising the Lord and confessing the truth of His Word is a powerful way to defeat the spirit of heaviness as well as lift off that spirit of the heaviness of your life. If you've been in heaviness and grief or sorry for a while, then it is a constant battle to get that spirit of heaviness off. It is a continual choice to continually praise and give thanksgiving to the Father.

To get someone free from a spirit of heaviness and oppression, you must first break the power of occult ic spirits and then the spirits of heaviness and oppression. Find out if they have been involved with occultic type stuff and/or their family has participated with Freemasonry, Mormonism, Catholic church, etc. Then after they get delivered, have them listen to worship and praise and keep the garment of praise on them.

Overcoming the Spirit of Heaviness

Recognize it. This is not you, you are a child of God. This is not God's will for you. Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Don't believe anything negative you think under its influence. Accept no criticism of yourself or others. 2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God and take every thought captive to obey Christ, which means discern where your thoughts are coming from.

Repent and renounce for participating with a Spirit of Heaviness. 1 Corinthians 10:5 says to cast down all vain imaginations and that means anything that does not line up with the Word of God.

Put on the Garment of Praise (Is 61:3) This literally means to be "Wrapped Up In Praise" God has given it to you to put on. Take action including adoration, thanksgiving, singing, and glorifying. Get loud, get definite, aggressive! Wrestle it down. (Eph.6) and break into the anointing.

Breaking Generational Curses - Abraham Bloodline of Lying

See an Example of Lying - Abraham and His Son - Generational Curses


Generational curses are sins of the forefathers but do not have to be yours, but there is a bent to participate in the sin. Watch the Video below:



Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree,’” Galatians 3:13

Revelations 22:3 "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:"

We see there are curses to attend to until Satan is destroyed.


Generational curses are curses assigned to an individual(s) based on the sins of his/her parents. The person’s parents, not himself, cause the curses assigned to him/her. A person gets punished for the wrongs of the parents. Such are called generational curses.

Generational curses can come from both parents. This can be if each parent has an unrepentative sin. Generational curses act like familiar spirits traveling down the family tree.

An Example of a Generational curse in the Bible is seen in the life of Abraham:

Abraham travels to Egypt to escape the drought and tells Sarah to lie to Pharaoh because she is beautiful, and he is afraid he will be killed. Sarah agrees to lie, but Pharaoh discovers the truth in a dream. It was out of fear, fear of man, that he lied.

Abraham does it again – he travels to the land of the Philistine (Gaza strip) and lies to Abimelech. She says the same thing to Sarah, and Sarah agrees to lie.

His son, Isaac, travels with Rebecca (Gaza Strip), and they lie to Abimelech. He says the same thing to Abimelech and Rebecca as his father Abraham did 40 years earlier.

Abraham and Isaac taught their wives to lie. Rebecca lies later to Isaac with his son when it is time to bless Essah and Jacob.

4th generation – now Jacob’s sons lied to Jacob about Joseph being killed by an animal when he was sold for slavery. 10 sons are liars and are fearful.

Satan is the executor of the curse of the law

Christ didn’t do away with the law. He fulfilled it – Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.”

Jesus made it possible for you to be free of your disobedience and to be free of the executor. He did that on the cross for us to make a way for our disobedience when we sin.

How to do it? Appropriate through obedience!

Exodus 20:5 “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;”

In ministry, it is clearly observed that what has been in a family tree is currently in people's lives: same sin issues, same disease.

Charge

God wants to know what you are going to do with creation.

Curse

Deuteronomy 28 is an excellent chapter on blessings and cursings that affect you (mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and financially).

Where does Disease Come From?

Disease is a type and shadow of Satan’s kingdom. It comes from Egypt and not Zion. For example, every time you go to a new doctor, don't they ask about your family history of diseases? Those are generational curses because of the sins of the forefathers.

Deductive reasoning

Disease is a curse, not a blessing (even today). The response of sick people, when asked if they consider their disease a blessing or a curse, some said curse (good answer, the Bible agrees); some said it’s from God (then why are you going to the doctor?). Those people don’t have an answer for disease, and they’re giving God credit to increase their spirituality. No, that’s ignorance.

Conclusion: Disease is a curse

The only way to break it is in your generation

Psychologists have been able to document that many of our personality characteristics, including rage, anger, predisposition to mental disorders, and certain diseases, can be found in humans without any genetic component, but it can still be inherited. No genetic or defective gene has been isolated, but the condition is still passed on in families. We consider those situations to be inherited familiar spirits that follow families, creating various breakdowns in the psyche or the soul.

Cause and Effect

If you don’t allow the Holy spirit to bring you to a place of repentance then God has no more to do.

The Pattern for Freedom

Neh. 9:1-2 “1Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them. 2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.


Final Charge

To encourage the church to bring people back into repentance

To help encourage others to look at generational curses

Do a family tree chart for four generations.

List all mental predispositions, sins, and tragedies and discover what flows from generation to generation.

If the flow is not stopped, it will flow into you, your children, and your grandchildren.

How does one get rid of the generational curse?


You read Deuteronomy Ch: 27 and Ch. 28 make list and take responsibility

You then take responsibility for your sin and forefathers and repent and renounce your sin and their sins back to Adam and Eve.

Next, remove the sin by casting out the spirit of alcoholism or whatever it might be.

Say, "I take this curse and cover it with the Blood of Jesus." (It is now washed away.)

Proverbs 26:2 - As the bird by wondering...

A Curse Causeless Cannot Come - Proverbs 26:2


As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.

Many times, as I have been in Deliverance Ministry for many years, deliverance ministers and participants believe demonic spirits have a right to them at any time. In fact, they have to have permission before the demonic world can have a right to you.

What Am I Saying Here?


Curses can only havemust an effect on your life when you personally commit a sin contrary to the Word of God. Only sin opens the door for the enemy to demonically bind you. Also, not every curse your ancestors have committed opens the door, but there are familiar spirits who will tempt you with the same sins as your ancestors so that you will open the door for a curse to come upon you. That means there is a bent or stronger temptation to open that door to that curse. The demonic spirits will then try to perpetuate the curse for all remaining generations of descendants.

Some sins of your ancestors do enter the child in the womb at conception. The child enters life with this characteristic, which is demonic - such as self-hatred, unknown fears, bent toward rejection, or shyness. The world would say that the child inherited this characteristic from his ancestors. What was inherited was a demonic spirit passed down through the bloodline.

How to Keep From Getting a Curse!


If you don’t want the evil spirits to have authority in your life, you have to make sure any curses on you have been broken through deliverance and repentance. A curse can't land on you unless it has a cause. Fear and sin are basically the two leading causes that take the blessings out of your life. Sin definitely does that! When God says in the Bible to do something, and you say, “Well, I don’t feel like doing it, I'm not going to do it,” you have left yourself open to sin, which results in getting cursed. God will not let Satan cause us harm unless we leave a legal opening. The devil is a “legal beagle” (a legalistic being), and if you leave a legal opening for him to hit you, he will surely use it. It would be illegal to curse you without a cause. God would smash his head right in, and the day will come for that!

Today's society and the church have come to the point where we have made sin so acceptable or the Word is So Watered down. Another way of putting it is that churches today have cheapened grace to mean no punishment for unrepented sin. We say we are sorry but the church or our society really does not repent. Repentance means to turn away and change our actions. True repentance and confession of sin will allow God to protect us completely.

I thought All Curses Went with Jesus?

I thought when Jesus died he took the curse! Let's look at Revelation 22, the closing chapter of the entire Bible speaks to this very question.

Revelation 22:3

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him: curses are still with us. What Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross was this: He gave every child of God the freedom to get out from under curses when we sin through repentance. You can see from Revelation 22:3, curses still exist and must be dealt with in the practical Christian walk. We are all going from Glory to Glory.

Lets look at Galatians 5:19-21

Galatians 5:19-23 (King James Version)

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

These are habitual sins where a christian chooses to follow their flesh over God's ways. When someone has a problem and continually repenting to God, then God's mercy is with us. He looks at the heart of a person. Unfortunately, our sins do open doors for the enemy to put curses on us, but through the blood through repentance does remove, and God gives us a strength through him to overcome. That is his promise to us.

1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 2:10-11
If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

2 Corinthians 2:14(NKJV)
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ.

Galatians 5:16-17
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

Ephesians 4:22-24

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

2 Timothy 4:18
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

James 1:12-15
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

James 4:7-8
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

James 4:10
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

1 Peter 5:8-10
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

1 John 2:12-15
I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

1 John 3:8
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.

1 John 4:4
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

Revelation 3:21
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, if a Christian goes through deliverance and really does not repent for their sins and goes and does the sin again and that can be unforgiveness, they will get worse according to Luke 11:20-26 - the demonic spirits will see if you are truly filled with truth.

Spiritual Strongholds

What are Spiritual Strongholds?


First of all, we need to realize there is an enemy, "satan," and his effort is to capture the minds of men and women and their souls through spiritual strongholds. The mind is the strong tower of the soul.

Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the mind rules our hearts and emotions and directs our lives. Satan knows if he can get hold of the way we think, he can expand his rule into every other area of our life.

Prov. 23:7 "for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."

Satan wants to control your thoughts in the conscious mind but also your motives and thoughts in our subconscious minds.

II Corinthians 10:3-5 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses/storngholds. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ."

What is a fortress/stronghold? It is a walled city with access to its water supply and plenty of storage space for food. The enemy attacks with warfare against fortresses. When trying to break into a fortress, the enemy will dig under walls, climb over walls, bust down the main door, or whatever to get entrance by hurling bounders against the walls and firebombs over the walls.

Paul uses this knowledge to describe the attack needed against the spiritual strongholds of the mind. We can destroy every stronghold because our weapons are eternal and invincible.

The enemy tries to break in with lying thoughts, negative thoughts from others, or feelings that have developed a life of their own within us. We were created in the image of God, but somehow we believe what others have said, what satan says, the accuser or ourselves believes the opposite of God, and that is what a stronghold is. It is a thought or belief that is not true about you, but you believe it.

An individual stronghold is more than a habit. It is a belief of fleshly control within us that uses habits to maintain control over us. Like for example, through belief or feeling, a habit of temper can develop to defend or cover up the insecurity or jealousy of wants, believing God does not want you to be blessed, or developing alcoholism to cover up the pain you are not loved. God's word says you are the apple of his eye.

These strongholds are the fortresses of thought, emotion, feeling, or negative belief about self or what God says about you.

The function of a stronghold is to put up smoke screens to keep things like sermons, teachings, and counseling from piercing our inner man with truths that could bring repentance and freedom.

A stronghold guards the untruths that bond us to self and the flesh. It keeps you from being able to renew the mind from seeing your own deceptions.

Strongholds give us tunnel vision, preventing us from seeing what common sense would tell us is wrong. It creates an inner captivity to deception and misery.

Again, the central core of strongholds are lies the enemy wants you to believe in, getting you to believe they are true about you.

God does not want your past to hold you back! God has made a way out, a way to unpack your bags of grief, pain, unforgiveness, guilt, shame, or even old patterns of relating.

Prescription Drugs - Third Cause of Death in America

Pharmakia is Prescription Drugs - The Third Cause of Death


The Greek word "pharmakia" literally means "drugs", and appears five times in the New Testament: in Gal 5:20, Rev 9:21, 18:23, 21:8, and 22:15. "Pharmakia" is translated into our English Bible as either "witchcraft" or "sorceries". We also get our English word "pharmacy" from the Greek "pharmakia".


In each of the above five passages, "pharmakia", or "drugs" is listed as a work of the flesh of man as opposed to the Spirit of God working in us.


For example, Gal 5:16-23 in the KJV:


16 "[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft ("pharmakia" or drug use), hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance (self-control): against such there is no law."

The King James Bible translators translated "pharmakia" as "witchcraft" because almost no one but witches and sorcerers used drugs 400 years ago. Drugs were most commonly used in pagan worship to hallucinate and to try to get in touch with evil spirits.

Our medical world is a mess! Every year in the US, there are:

12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;

7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;

20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;

80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;

106,000 deaths from FDA-approved, correctly prescribed medicines.

The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000.

This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in the US, behind heart disease and cancer.

Since the FDA approves every medical drug given to the American people and certifies it as safe and effective, how can that agency remain calm about the fact that these medicines are causing 106,000 deaths per year?

Do the 106,000 deaths from medical drugs only involve drugs prescribed to patients in hospitals, or does this statistic also cover people prescribed drugs who are not in-patients in hospitals?

The pharmaceutical giants stand back and carve the populace into “promising markets.” They seek new disease labels and new profits from more and more toxic drugs. They do whatever they can—legally or illegally—to influence doctors' prescribing habits. Some drug studies that cast new medicines in a negative light are buried. FDA panels are filled with doctors who have drug-company ties. Legislators are incessantly lobbied and supported with pharma campaign monies.


This can be serious stuff! In Rev. 21:8, God says that people who are continually characterized by drug use will have no part in the Kingdom of God.

I recommend learning to walk in the Spirit and studying the New Testament Epistles to the Churches (Romans to Jude).

As we grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we will want to do things that please God.

Look again at Gal 5:22 & 23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (self-control)"

Isn't that what the whole world is looking for? It's automatic when we walk in the Spirit!

The Christian life is a "supernatural" life; we cannot please God in our energy. We can only please God by allowing Him to work THROUGH us.

I have to assume that you love Jesus and want to please him, or you wouldn't even be concerned.

The dangers of unbiblical "breathing exercises", mantra's, "centering"

SOME THOUGHTS on MYSTICISM


-by Eddie Hyatt.



In a recent church gathering, a well-known evangelical pastor led his congregation in a "breathing" exercise in which they were exhorted to take "nice, big, deep breaths." He explained that such breathing exercises, meditation, reflection, and silence have been central to the Christian tradition for thousands of years.


He then sought to buttress his argument by pointing out, "In Yoga, one of the central tenets is that your breath needs to remain the same regardless of pose. And the Yoga Masters say this is how you follow Jesus and surrender to God."



[i] Pastor Rob Bell is typical of many today looking to medieval mystics (and to Eastern forms of mysticism) in their search for spiritual reality. But while many medieval mystics can be admired for their passion and devotion, they cannot be followed in many of their doctrines and experiences.

They often exhibit a glaring lack of discernment and common sense because they are loyal to the medieval church and share in its lax (and sometimes hostile) attitude toward Scripture. So, while some of their experiences are, no doubt, genuine, many are obviously psychic, and some are probably demonic. Basically, these practices take you to an Altered State of Consciousness.

Commenting on medieval mysticism and its neglect of Scripture, Dr. Hans Kung, the most widely read Catholic theologian in the world today, says, These new revelations not only overshadowed the Bible and the Gospel but also Him whom the Gospel proclaims and to whom the Bible bears witness.


It is striking how rarely Christ appeared in all these "revelations," "apparitions," and "wonders." Catholics who followed in the wake of every new "revelation," which often turned out to be fantasy or deceit, indulged their desire for sensation by looking for the latest reports of miracles-and yet who had never once in their whole lives read the Scriptures from cover to cover.

[ii] The Origins of Mysticism Medieval mysticism arose in reaction to the lifeless, outward forms of the medieval church. During the same period, evangelical revival groups also emerged for similar reasons. But whereas the revival groups, such as the Waldenses and Albigneses, gave their loyalties to the Scriptures and looked there for models of faith and spirituality, the mystics tended to give allegiance to the pope and the institutional church.[iii] This meant that the mystics were more susceptible to non-Biblical approaches to spirituality, resulting in their adoption of many beliefs and practices rooted in pagan, mystical thought, particularly Neoplatonism.

Bastard's curse - move to Wix

What is a Bastard's Curse?


It is when a child is conceived when the parents are not married. It puts a curse on a child - rejection and never fitting in, the spirit of lust, the spirit of fear, etc. 

Deut. 23:2: "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord."

In ministry, we have found the Bastard's Curse present when a person is conceived or born out of wedlock. Somehow, children are curious about their parents' wedding dates and correspondence to their birthdays. Other times, it is apparent that there was never a marriage. Spirits of rejection, abandonment, and fear come into the child in the womb under these circumstances.

There is a difference between conceiving a child out of covenant and one out of lust.

The child, when conceived out of lust, knows whether or not they were a wanted baby. There is usually shame and guilt associated with their parents' behavior. Not only that, but secrets.

What comes in when a child is born out of wedlock is a generatons of evil spirits that have been plaguing families trying to love in all the wrong places.

The problem is that a child will grow up addicted to the need to be loved.

If this is true in your life, forgiving your mother and father for their sin and how it has affected you is important. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are now a son or daughter of God, and you are not a bastard. Proclaim your position in Christ, in His name, and in His power and authority, cast out the spirits of rejection, fear, and abandonment. Ask the Holy Spirit to heal your heart in this area and give you the blessing of a father; in this case, the Heavenly Father. If you are the parent of a child born or conceived out of wedlock, ask their forgiveness and then give them your blessing. Tell your son or daughter that you are proud that they are yours, and break the bastard's curse in the name of Jesus.

If your child is young, teach them the ways of the Lord to fight that generational curse in their life. The spirit of the Lord will release you and cleanse you and your family and begin to bring blessings.

There is always hope when there is repentance and confession from the parant and child.

What are Inner Vows

What are Inner Vows is like Bitterness and Judgment

Below is a prayer to break inner vows


Inner vows are like declaration or promises we make about ourselves. Inner vows will come to pass. 

Inner vows represent us choosing our will over God’s and need to be revoked before we can experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Satan will make sure the words you spoke over yourself will come to pass. Inner vows that they happen. 

Have you ever said: "I will never let a man (or woman) ever hurt me again?" Or "I will never put myself in that position again." "I can't trust anybody." "Nobody can do it right but me." "I will never be like my mother (or father).""I will never be like that." "I will never share what I really feel, it is not safe." Many men say this about their mothers, which then transfers to their wives. "Men (women) never do it right." "Don't share," etc. Proverbs teaches us that as we think in our hearts, so we become (Proverbs 23:7a). If we make these "vows," or statements, 

Many of these vows were said as children, yet they affect our adult lives. If you have ever made such statements, it is time to go before the Lord and repent and break the power of the curse on your life.
The following is a list of typical inner vows:


· I don't matter.
· I'm not good enough.
· What's the use in trying. I'll never be good enough.
· I'm an outcast.
· No matter what I do, they're going to violate my boundaries.
· I'm not allowed to have boundaries. Also the expectation that I wouldn't have any boundaries, they wouldn't be honored.
· I'll just suck it up and go on.

· I'll just pretend it doesn't hurt and go on.
· No body will believe me.
· No one will hear my heart, or listen to me, or validate me, or acknowledge me.
· Emotions don't matter.
· Feelings should not be expressed.
· It is not OK to play or be playful.

· I'd better be perfect or they won't like me.
· Everyone gets what he or she wants; I never get what I want. When is it going to be my turn?
· I'm defective.
· What's wrong with me.

· I don't have time for emotions.
· I can't access my emotions.
· I won't access my emotions because it is too painful and not safe.
· Emotions can't be trusted.
· Keep peace at any price.
· I have no control over it. (my circumstances)
· It's OK to hurt me because I deserve it.
· No one is going to hurt me again/twice.
· I'll never be hurt by a man/woman again.
· I'm not going to give anyone another chance.

· I'm suppose to save this marriage.
· I've got to be king.
· I'm just a door mat.
· I'm a victim.
· I have to be good.
· I'd better look good.
· I don't want to respond to the emotional needs of others.
· I'm not able to respond to the emotional needs of others.
· I don't want boundaries ; they are a fence.

· I'm depressed.
· It's just so hard (self pity).
· Men don't cry.
· Men don't hug.
· Men have to be tough.
· Men have to be strong.
· I am unclean.
· Time heals all wounds.

· Nothing is true, everything is permissible. (Situation Ethics)
· You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
· I have to take care of everything and I don't have time to take care of myself.
· It's just not for me.
· I'm not going to have my turn.
· People always take advantage of me.
· I'm a bad seed.
· I have bad blood.
· I've always done it this way.
· This is the way it's always been.

· I'm not going to be like my (mother/father).
· You always hurt the one you love.
· I'm not going to change.
· I can't change.
· I've always been like this.
· If you trust anyone, they'll hurt you.
· If you remember, you will die.
· If you remember, your family will die.
· You can never tolerate the truth, it is too painful.
· If you hug anyone, they'll end up hurting you really bad.
· If you love anyone, they'll crush your heart, or they'll be killed.
· There's no God.

· If anyone says they love you, they're not to be trusted.
· God does not love. He hates and uses people and so does your dad. · Children are to be seen and not heard.
· We're dumb and stupid. We'll never amount to anything.
· Women are not good.
· Women are only to be used.
· Women are weak.

Inner vows must be revoked

Breaking Inner Vows


  • Ask yourself, “Have I made any inner vows?” What were they? Write down your inner vow list. Ask the Lord to help you. 
  • Examine who was involved in the life that led you to make an inner vow, directly and indirectly:
  • Sometimes we make inner vows because of hurts like broken promises, betrayals, etc. Make a list of people who hurt you and if you made any vows. Then, take the time to forgive them.
  • Repent for making the inner vow and not trusting God in the situation. Say this prayer! “Lord, I now recognize that I have made an inner vow that reveals a lack of trust in your willingness to help and protect me and those that I love. I ask that you would forgive me. I want to transfer that need to feel helped and protected onto you, and I humbly ask that you would do just that; help and protect myself and those that I love. I renounce the inner vow that said, “___________________________. Please break the power of this vow over my life and help me to set wise goals that are in agreement with your plans and purposes for me. I also ask that you would heal any wounding in my heart that came as a result of the event that caused me to make this inner vow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
